I would suggest getting some unflavored nic liquid. I've had this issue in the past, and giving my taste buds a break for a couple of days fixed it for me. You can cut flavor down by mixing in unflavored, or take a real break and vape the unflavored.

My taste buds have always been sensitive, and many vendor juices literally assault them with flavorings. I've actually felt like a couple of juices made them hurt a bit...

So, I DIY my juices, and I use just enough flavoring to make them taste good, and I rarely experience any loss of taste these days.

This also will happen to me if I try to vape on the same flavors day after day, or if I go from menthol/cinnamon flavors to lighter flavors. It might sound crazy, but I keep a bottle of coffee flavored juices to "reset" my taste buds. Also, If you haven't been vaping for long and just gave up smoking, your taste buds will do wacky things.

eat a pickle.

LOL!!! That is a funny response.. I LOVE pickles. My gf is nicknamed pickle and even has a tattoo of one on her arm. LOL!
Hasnt helped though.. ;)

I have been trying some Grape the last few days but cannot even taste that. Mint is totally shot for me. My menthol tobacco juice, straight mint juice.. Even toothpaste, mint CC ice cream, or mouuthwash. Just nothing. I may try the cinnamon again later.. I really dont want to go back to stinkies but I have had a few puffs the last few days bc of this.. I just cant enjoy it without the taste!! Al lI get is a burnt taste, but the GF and the guys at the B&M say it tastes fine..
I am doing my best though!! Not going to give up!!!

If you like cinnamon, try something with lime. Or tea maybe. Its like coffee and cookies. Good together but either one for too long and they start to lose the appeal.

You mean a juice with lime? Or real ones? Is lime like an "opposite" of cinnamon? I tried about 10 flavors the other day, but grape was the only one I tasted.. Within a few hours it faded though..

I'm always surprised how the misconception that the actual taste buds on your tongue are responsible for tasting your juices, unless your juice is sweet, sour, bitter, salty, or umami (savory). So mouthwashes etc do NOTHING. It's your nose, more accurately, your nasal cavity is where you sense your juices flavor. We all experience olfactory fatigue eventually. Hydration helps molecules stick to your sensor nerves better but too much or in the case of mucus producing illness like a cold can block these sensors. Some people find that their juices seem muted more during the spring or summer. An undiagnosed very mild allergy is usually the culprit. For the ones that find the same situation more during the winter months, usually the dry cold air is to blame. So don't blame your taste buds or your tongue, blame your nose! That's why smelling a strong smell like coffee grounds has worked for centuries for people who rely on their sense of taste/smell for their profession to rejuvenate from olfactory fatigue.
