BTW I have a question still being some what of a newbie-- I can't taste any of my juices now at all they ALL taste like room temperature milk. My tastebuds have changed so many times already that I have all the flavors SI offers except menthol. This started two days ago and it hasn't improved. I've tried new cartos, re-cleaning batteries,new batteries, my X2s,new comfort tips. Yesterday and today I even tried a cigarette to get some kind of taste of something. I haven't had to re-order juices.Has anyone had a similar experience? I stopped smoking in April and cigarettes still taste nasty (that's a good thing). However,I'm going nuts since I can't taste my tobacco juices, grape, mint,etc

I found I had to step out of the 'box' - the one stop shop box - I bought a few flavors from Vapor Dudes. The ones I thought I'd love - I don't. The ones I hesitated on - YUM! I float between Cool Melon or Raspberry & the beloved SI flavors of Iced Menthol / RY4 & Joe - some w/ menthol and Chocolate. This worked for me to taste the Choc Mint Menthol mix again.

ETA: Hope everyone had a good snooze! Retreating to my room w/ a fresh Butterscotch coffee - fresh battery & vape to watch a bit of recorded horse programs! Tomorrow I get to work for some cash! (Helping bro with another small cement project!) SI - look out!

Thanks Enzusa,sorry I'm late replying,I slept right up until time to go to work last night. I hope you slept well yourself

Thanks for asking Raynes, I managed a whopping 5 hours last night but did wake & get up about 6 times during that time lol
Been this way for a couple of years now & I think the body clock gets messed up and becomes accustomed to it.

 

[Enzusa]

Is it working for you?

I wasn't really having a problem with tasting my juice I just was trying Wuzz's method. It was kinda tricky & one time I "snorted" while attempting the exhale...put myself into giggle mode after that LOL
I do sometimes find that even tho I can taste my juices they don't have the intensity as usual or I loose the TH feeling, I like to switch flavours frequently throughout the day plus drinking water seems to help. I can vape something one evening & get no TH & the next morning the same juice just about knocks me off my socks! Dunno why but that seems to be a common thing for me. Does help having a strong juice to fall back on

that sounds like a very comforting vape! Good luck with the cash job, I'm sure SI will be happy to help you spend it on some goodies

That's one fascinating thing about juices. I converted a co-worker to vaping who was a die hard menthol smoker. He can't stand a menthol vape now. He says he can't taste the menthol anymore. Its good to have a vaping buddy so you can sample each other's flavors.
Its a pet peeve of mine to see someone write a bad review about a juice. What maybe your nightmare of a flavor could very well be the best vaping experience in the world to someone else.
Like SI's Freedom for example, the first few times I tried it I hated it,but it got to where I couldn't taste Desert Joe or Cowboy so I re-tried it and its now my favorite all time vape.

i found my Taste buds different eveyday.... RY4 was least fav tobbacish flaver in the beginning and now i love it, it no longer taste so sweet .... i some got some fruity ones watermelon, peach tobbaco, peach & blueberry and when i first got i could taste a huge diff in all ... now i cant distinguish the 2 peachs and all taste simaliar but my watermelon is the thickest and vapes nice. i can only do fruits for a awhile tho ... not all day ... i SI menthol and like it especially just a touch to half in other flavors, but that depends on my mood. And my expresso shot i guess is coffee and chocalate but reminds me of chocolate (but so does Baileys which i a cream really) Looking fwd to Vanilla & Si's Watermelon. i pretty much either like initially or later like later when i try, so far, but i never been a picky person. a coca-cola seems to revive my taste buds if its dried mouth type of thing.

Wish i could help ....

Larry I talked to a nurse friend of mine who's specializes in gastro. She's a non smoker but she did have some suggestions, to activate tastebuds you can gently brush your tongue,use a dilute mouthwash rinse and then rinse with water until you can't taste the mouthwash,dilute vinegar rinse can also be used just always rinse until all you taste is water. Don't brush your tongue no more than twice a day and always very gently or you will irritate it.
This "milk" taste you will sooner or later experience is your salivary glands getting rid of all the junk you get from smoking cigs and also from your mouth cells shedding that junk. She said the reason smokeless tobacco users get mouth cancers is all that junk that's in it stays in the cells like a residue and builds up. To treat that is mouth rinses as well to help your salivary glands and the membranes get that gunk out.She said to think of our mouths like a Mr.Coffee you have to clean the coffee pot to get rid of the build ups so we have to our mouths from plant tobacco deposits.
A lot of ppl who stop smoking that doesn't vape goes through this to she said,and they come to the office thinking they have mouth cancer when all it is,the mouth is ridding itself from the gunk.
I did what she suggested this morning using dilute Listerine and it made a world of difference I can taste my juices and that milk after taste is much less.
Maybe this will help get your taste buds back into action faster.

Are you a light sleeper?

i need to be totally exhausted to sleep more than 8 hours (cumulative less then 5 hours avg for days) ... i typically sleep about 6 hours tho. last night i was up to 230 and up around 7. if i sleep 8 hours for 2 days, ill probably stay up late the next and up early for about 4 hours .... but i havent needed much sleep for awhile, but i do need some. When i was younger i could both sleep longer but also i could stay up all night and function ok & probally do fine with 3 hours if just not my average. now i am about 5 to 7 hours normally.

Excellent post, Raynes. This should be helpful to quite a few people.

We should all be brushing our tongue every day anyway as part of our regular oral care. I was a dental assistant for many
years before I became an OR scrub. Most people don't think to brush their tongues, but you should, everytime you brush and floss your teeth. I just use my toothbrush and gently brush my tongue.
Your tongue holds onto bacteria and can cause bad breath. So just brushing your teeth is not enough to eliminate halitosis.

I think summer has a lot to do with not being able to sleep. The days are longer for one thing,the extreme heat here in the south is torture to.

 

[Chookychuck]

.......... TY Cocoa, i just never knew to be gentle with my tongue, years of smoking and drinking coffee had my tongue ugly so i been brushin it years & very vigorously, but i think ill ease up and be more gentle ...i just checked it now and its clean but its the first time i looked at it in a while ... can ten days make that big a difference... i have drank less coffee too since i started but thats another story. Thank you & happy vapes
