E-Juice Losing Flavor

Pandeson--Are you using the same e-cig?--Sun

Same power sources and atomizer. I use mostly a PCUSA power pack, PC, and USB car adapter.

I do understand the subtle differences in the power sources, so I thought maybe I'm flat on the taste now.

The only problem is that I ordered 50ml of the stuff and have lost the love.

I thought that maybe someone else may have noticed the flavor loss in batches or taste changes over time.

I have taken new Marlb carts then topping off with Cola then Riskee to try and trick the palette, but I don't get anything like the first 2 days??????

I'm confused!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Panderson--I doubt it is the jucie itself. I am thinking the mix taste that the atomizer may have picked up in its mesh changing the overall taste you are getting with the use of other flavors in the same atomizer. This happens with other flavors such as English Toffee and Bavarian Cream. Try a new atomizer and cartridge if you have them and then report back to us with your findings----Sun

I noticed something like this, too, on a different flavor... please bear with me, skipping to something that appears unrelated

I clean my upper dentures, when removed, with a sonic toothbrush first before doing other cleaning to them... The other day I noticed a sticky patch after using the sonic toothbrush. I scratched with my fingernail and found a semi-thick coating. I, then, scratched areas that appeared clean and found the same coating. In essence, this coating was not really visible, was not removable with the sonic toothbrush, and covered the outside/biting side of the denture.

Considering this, I think it is possible that as we vape this same sticky coating occurs with our taste buds and that this cloaks the taste of the ejuice.

When I started vaping regularly, I got the morning-after sore throat, and got rid of it by gargling with Coca-Cola right be for bed. (I got the idea from reading the atomizer cleaning thread).

Thus, I think that perhaps our brushing, flossing, and regular gargle might not be completely cleaning our pallets... that we might benefit from something like a Coca-Cola gargle prior to regular cleaning methods and that this would also restore our pallets to full tasting.

I think this is normal. I change juice flavors often because I get used to the taste of the previous flavor very quickly. A sip or two of water sometimes helps the taste situation, but putting the e-cig down and coming back after an hour or so seems to clear my taste buds.

Put it down for an hour or so?????????????? I CAN'T, how can you??????????? 8-o

Ok, New atomizer, new unfilled cart, 3 power sources, same problem.

All I have at this point is the Riskee, so I will wait for my new juices to come in, should be today or tomorrow and will put the Riskee away for a few days and try it again.

Panderson--for it to lose its flavor just like that, there must have been something that happened like it was exposed to heat, cold, sun, or something else--very interesting to note??---Sun
 
No extreme conditions. Sitting at room temp here in the Great North West. Haven't had much sun in the last few months. Room temp doesn't get above 65F and probably down to 55 at night.

I would think that if the juices are that sensative, then there would be some kind of "How to Keep" instructions.

I would hate to think that I would need some micro controlled environment.

I have a 50ml bottle, then I filled a 10ml bottle to keep on me when out and about. Before you ask, I did my test this morning firs with the 50ml bottle, then the 10ml just to check.

Don't know :confused:

The good news is that I'm still getting my Nic, but the bad news is that I fell in love with that flavor and now it's love lost.

My cartridges started losing there flavour straight away after i refilled them (after a few puffs) when i started using teabag material for cartridge fillers. Maybe i've just put the filler in wrong...but i don't think e-liquid loses its favour that quick. I've had mine for 2 and a half weeks and its still retained its flavour perfectly.

Well maybe getcha some LorAnn's or other straight flavoring and add, and see if that helps. I'm thinking of doing that myself. In fact, you could make your own and make the flavor as strong as you want.
I find that as the day goes on, my taste buds become coated. By bed time, I don't think I have much taste either. Maybe I'll take my own advice, LOL
