E-Juice Flavor Crisis

[Sasbone]

Hey guys, I have a little vape dilemma. A couple of weeks ago I ordered some e-juice and everything was great, the flavor was really strong and robust. Lately though I've noticed that the flavor has really dropped off and now it tastes thin an airy that nice deep flavor is gone. Does anyone know what the problem is? could it be I'm just used to the flavor now or could it be a technical problem with the carto?

Has the vapor production changed? If not, you may just be experiencing the common flavor doldrums. They come and go for all of us. The short term solutions include using mouthwash frequently and changing juices to something with a bolder flavor. Always make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. PG (especially) and VG can badly dehydrate you. Fortunately, the doldrums pass and your flavor returns. If vapor has also fallen off, then you have a technical problem with your battery or juice system. Troubleshoot by replacing now item at a time.

Good luck!

Shake the juice bottle befoe you use it each time. Flavor components, PG, VG can separate. You may be vaping more of the flavors at the beginning of the bottle and then further into the bottle you are vaping more pg and vg with little flavor left.

If your useing a cart Try useing a new one an old cart will do as you describing.

There are plenty of people who have lost their taste for a short time after switching to vaping. Make sure that you are drinking lots of water and stick it out.

I lost the flavor about a week into vaping. Like the others have said, use mouthwash and drink a lot of water. The taste will come back with a little time. If using cartos, as suggested, change out to a new one or clean some you may have lying around that have been used. I messed up and refilled one with a different flavor of juice. Almost made me puke because the taste mimicked that of puke. Pardon the visual. Also try changing resistance values. This helped with taste when I first started. Switching from LR to SR. If you are using a VV mod...Ego Twist or any VV PV, try playing around with the voltages to see if that helps. Depending on the juice and nicotine content, I have to adjust accordingly. While flavor may be amazing, my throat can't handle being punched more than a few times.

Good luck and don't give up!

Good old saying - A change is as good as a rest?

carts dampen some of the juice's flavor... if you are using an atomizer, try cleaning it out or blowing the excess juice then break it in again.. check the resistance as well.. you might need to set it to a different voltage as it may have increased/dropped its ohms...

Thanks for the help everyone. The flavor seems to be better than what it was. I used mouthwash and drank water while vaping and it helped. Before that I never hydrated while vaping, also I never shake the bottles before I drip them in the tank so that could be contributing to the problem. I'm a newbie and I never experienced "taste loss" before. Thanks again for the advice.

I keep 4-5 tanks with diff flavors so I can change when the tast goes away..

Try alternating flavors. I vape one flavor for an hour or two, then something contrasting... then go back to the first. Your taste buds kind of get numb to the same thing all the time.

I also like to steep the juice. I have the patience of a ferret on crack so this doesn't take weeks for me.

I heat up a coffee cup full of water in the microwave. Take it out and drop in the juice. Let it sit for a bit. Take the cap off and squeeze the bottle a few times to get some fresh air into the bottle. Then cool it off naturally or put the ejuice bottle into a cup of icewater to thicken it back up.

I got the doldrums last week after two months of vaping. Lots of water and alternating between El Toro Cigarillos and a hefty menthol worked for me.

Wow this is good info! I had noticed that the last week or so I've been a bit dehydrated. I also noticed the flavor being a little muted even with fresh cartos. Thanks!

Goes to get a glass of water...

I didn't know about the water / dehydration thing either. Glad I stumbled upon your thread.

I've gotten really toned arm muscles from all the shaking!
And yes, drinking lots of water is important - not just for the flavor, but for your health too. The base in the liquid will dehydrate you like crazy. You don't wanna end up with edema or a kidney infection.
A tongue scraper is a really handy thing to have too.
Could be too that it's time to clean the carto...

I find that when I am not getting as much flavor out of one type of juice switching to another flavor cures my problem

Is this flavour drop off common?
