Bad taste from quitting timeline?

[issy]

Just curious how long and how much you smoked vs. your timeline for getting and no longer having that bad taste in your mouth?

Me: 2 years, 3 packs a week of full bodied usually. Started getting bad taste about two weeks after my quit date...how long will this last? Lol

Can't say I recall exactly what you are experiencing but I would say I'm not experiencing anything of the sort now. That being said it will pass with some time.

Drink lots of fluids and focus on the whole oral hygiene thing while you are in transition from being a smoker to being smoke free. You'll eventually feel great and others will notice.

You mean you still taste cigarettes? I can't say that happened to me. I smoked 1-2 PAD for over 35 years. You might try brushing your teeth with baking soda and peroxide.

24 years @ 3pad and I haven't gotten a bad taste either time I switched to vaping (other than burnt atty's or bad e-juice). I would do as DeloresRose suggests and if that doesn't help, get your teeth cleaned professionally.

on the subject of taste, my taste has really started to come back, I'm actually dis-liking stuff that I've liked all my life because of the change in taste.

I smoked a pack and a half a day for over 20 years. I've been off those for several months. No bad taste unless I'm vaping a bad juice. Maybe its a juice aftertaste?

also Issy, there are times when your tongue can lose the ability to taste your vape, best advice is to switch to another flavor when this happens. I've had luck with smells fixing this as well, freshly ground coffee helps me the most.
