Can't taste the deliciousness

[axolotly]

I've seen this posted before, but never bothered to pay attention to how folks cope. I've been anolog-free for 10 days, and today I can't taste any of my juices. It's definitely something to do with my tastebuds and not my equipment / juices (meaning I think the vaping caused it, but there is nothing wrong with my gear not giving me taste).

I am having my first serious cravings since I quit, and want to know how others have gotten through this stage. Also, advice on how to prevent this from ever happening again would be welcome as well. I've been spraying biotene, using biotene gum, and nothing is making it so that a vape is satisfying.

I find that if I drink coffee and after that the taste comes back. I don't know if you want that much caffeine, but maybe try decaf. The less sugar the better.

Coffee seems to restart my tastebuds.

10 days can easily be in the old tastebuds being tossed and the new one's setting up shop, I'd not be too quick to say it's the juice. It could be your body withdrawing from chemical 2843. Have you tried different combos to see if the non taste persists? I'm moving my voltage around between 3.5-4.7 right now, and I sometimes taste nothing, sometimes I do get some flavor.

For your cravings, I'd just mad vape till you get into a nice nicotine place. To ensure this would never happen again, you'd need a red hot poker and a knife and
Oh, sorry, was watchin game of thrones..

I think once you get through this, everything will be easier, but I'd have some 24+mg juice around to go to if you have unwanted cravings later. Right now though, you're still in the withdrawl window.

Are you staying hydrated?

This may be your opportunity to vape those juices you don't like since you can't taste it anyway.

Thanks - never thought about my tastebuds getting in on this new action. I've tried all my menthol juices, sweet juices, and dessert juices (18 and 24 mg) on both LR and regular clearos and cartos at different volts. At most I'll get a slight taste on the exhale with the stronger ones.

I've been doing the mad vape thing, but it's kind of like smoking analogs when you are sick. I don't even want to look at my eGo.

Yeah - my fiancee was out of town for work for one night and said I went through 2 entire 8 packs of g2 Gatorade since Sunday.

that happened to me about a week into vaping. i could still taste, but all my juices tasted exactly the same and not so good (no matter how much i cleaned my equipment). it resolved pretty fast (maybe a few days) so hang in there and hopefully your tastebuds will comeback full-force soon!

...maybe a few days...

 

[wonderland]

awwww i'm sorry! but like Orobas said, now you've got a couple days to vape all the juices in your stash you don't like so much ;-)

 

[SissySpike]

I went threw it for about a month Cinnamon flavors was all I could taste Its getting better. I think its just something a lot of us go threw. drink plenty of water.

Well, knowing that it can last a few days is better than not knowing! Now I just have to plan (if my buds are on a little vacay) exactly how to get through the next couple of days without murdering. Must not murder.

a month

You could try a mint/menthol type flavor. Use a cheap carto with filler though, because mint/menthol/cinnamon juices linger in atomizers.

I have this same problem. It started yesterday, and we're analog-free for about the same number of days.

Not happy about it!

Black coffee plus BWB 18mg Strong Menthol Tobacco with a bit of 0mg BWB Watermelon mixed in (on my LR Vivi Nova Mini) is bringing a little relief. Just a little relief.

Sometimes I drink a soda (slosh a little coke or pepsi around in my mouth, gargling with it first) which seems to help.
Different juices taste different daily, depending on whether I'm drinking coffee, water, soda, or an alcholic beverage...all make my vapes taste diffferent! ....very weird

I find that if I vape one flavor consistently, it will start to lose it's flavor. Have a variety of different flavors ready to vape. Switching between them seems to clean my palate... but if that doesn't work, maybe try this?
