But, Wait....

[Litta'sGabby]

Ok, so I post a thread singing the praises of Johnson Creek juice and now.....nothing! Where did my Merango awesome strawberry flavor go??? I did clean the clearo just before filling it, had great vapor and flavor at first...then topped it off as it seamed with all of that vapor I was draining the ejuice rapidly. And now, just a tinge of flavor, if I'm lucky. Still, tons of vapor, just no flavor! Argh! Will I ever get the hang of this? Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Did I flood it? I should add: I am using an Apollo eGo with one of their bottom coil clearos. Thanks!

Maybe you should switch the flavor for a bit. Make sure you stay hydrated. This may help. A lot of times a juice that has a lot of flavor will taste differently if you vape it continuously. It doesn't really lose the flavor, your taste buds just change.

If you still get tons of vapor, you didn't flood the clearo. You didn't do anything wrong, so just hang in there! It will all "click" soon.

Did you dry the clears if the the wicks are wet no flavor and vapor will suck?

 

[Litta'sGabby]

Thank you so much! I hated to put it down, but I did. I appreciate your help!

 

[Litta'sGabby]

I did dry the wicks with a paper towel, they felt dry. And I vaped with awesome flavor and vapor for about 15 minutes, then it just seemed that the flavor was gone. The vapor was there, just no flavor. So, I put it down (LOL, step awaaayyyyy from the eGo) and I'm waiting to see if my tastebuds wake up. Also drinking water to rehydrate!

That happens to me all the time! Just like Chellemmm said I just change flavors for awhile. It stinks when it happens.

 

[BostLabs]

My 555 is doing that to me right now. I had thought that perhaps I should try a different flavor for a bit. Nice to see it confirmed.

I will second (or third ?) Chellemmm's advice...
Taste buds are what is 'getting flooded'...
Change up flavors.
I vape three or four flavors a day...
I like variety.

Vaping unflavored for a bit clears the palette quickly. It's a great all day vape also.

It's also very cheap, so it saves money until the tastebuds come back.

I keep a CE3 bottom coil clearo with coffee to vape when my ADV loses its flavour. It seems to help reset the tastebuds. I don't much care for the coffee, but I'll always keep some around for it's usefulness.

It's funny how true this is. My taste buds have definitely changed as I vape some flavors constantly. It's good to change flavors every once in a while.

 

[chellemmm]

I keep some French (!) Vanilla around to yank the tastebuds back in to place.

Happens all the time especially if I vape just one juice throughout the day.

I have 4 carto tanks with different flavors going at all times. I never have a problem with sudden flavor loss anymore.

What helps me is to brush my tongue and then drink a glass of water. I have also noticed that after I use my Neti pot for sinuses, some of the flavor of my e-juices return too.

Just think about it. Your tongue and your sinuses are coated with all that vapor you've been tooting.

Bingo . . . I can only eat so many strawberries, before they start to lose their flavor and appeal.

Could be "vaper's tongue". I've done it myself with a new flavor I really, really, really like. And think I'm close now 'cause I got a couple new widgets and was trying them out. Okay, I was playing with new toys.

Sometimes, seems you can "overload" your taste buds. Or stun them with the nicotine. Something like that. Either way, they go on strike for a while.

Definitely switch flavors. If every liquid seems weak or tasteless, that's probably vaper's tongue. One thing I read around here that helped me is watch out to not hit your tongue dead on with the vapor so much. I know that gets you lots and lots of tasty flavor but it also seems to just nuke your taste buds and then no liquid tastes good.

I did wonder why photos of experienced vapers they had their PVs off to the side of their mouths. 'Parently, the learned to not hit their tongues dead on! So, me too now.

(Except today I wasn't paying attention and my tongue feels really weird and my liquids all taste wrong. And I should know better after that last fiasco. I zapped my tongue so bad, it was a week before I could taste a juice again!)
