Bitter taste ?

[vmb]

It seems that no matter what I use (cartos, carts or dripping) I get this bitter taste in my mouth. I've got plenty of juice in there. I've tried a ton of different flavors, but I can't really "taste" the flavor of the juice. I can smell it, just can't taste it. What am I doing wrong?

Just started vaping 6 days ago.

Thanks!

What juice are you using and from where?

 

[vmb]

I'm using Johnson Creek. Various flavors (original, choc truffle, french vanilla and a bunch of others) in both PG and VG. Just ordered some butterscotch from FSUSA and some others from Mrs. T's.

It could be that your taste buds are in chaos right now, it could actually be the juice. It's hard to tell right now. I would say try juice from another vendor, but I guess you'll have to wait until your new juice is delivered!

Interesting - I have only been vaping for a few days, but I know what you mean. They all taste the same to me so far....

I've been anolog free for 27 days and the flavors have been all over the place for me. I think this week is the first week I have been able to taste the actual taste of the juice. Give it some time and see what happens. Try all different kinds of juices and see what works best for you. I've heard that our taste buds will change on us quite a bit after stopping analogs. I figured I'd just get through it and see what happens later on. Right now I'm in love with Smores. I hated that one when I first got it!

Loss of taste or decreased taste is common within the first month of vaping.
Your sense will come back once you adjust. Make sure to drink a lot of water in the meantime and brush your whole mouth. (Roof, tongue, sidewalls.) When I had two bouts of loss of taste at first that helped.

For bitter taste, make sure your cart/carto/drip tip is not showing that it is leaking juice into your mouth.

Wow. This is great to know I'm not alone... Thanks!

Does it have to be straight water? I drink bottled water mixed with Snapple-to-go singles.

Yes, taste is all over the place. The foods I love, Chinese buffets for example, what tasted great before now tastes of salt. Tried a few places and same result. Is this bad, for me no..for someone else it could be. Push me to maybe cook my own meals.

I started using the flu val method to refill cartridge material and it seems putting a new cart in every other day might do the trick for the nasty taste. 6 drops in the cart and 1 or 2 on the atty. When I have a few empties I clean them and re cut the material to fill.

It doesn't have to be straight water. We drink a lot of Kool-Aid and lemonade. As long as you aren't consuming a lot of caffeine like tea or coffee, you should be fine. I just can't give up my coffee and tea, but I have cut it down a lot. Oh, and watch the soda intake. That will also dehydrate you!
