Eeek Shinytus Playing Up!
So THIS is why I can't taste my e-liquids? What the hell has happened to my tongue? I had assumed I had a batch of crappy coils or something. ALL of my e liquids literally taste the same. I get a slight taste of fruit.. or something, but that's all. How long does this last?
yep, or part of the reason. You're dehydrated even if you don't know it. Drink a lot of water-- no, more than that, a LOT of water. Switch flavors often. Drink/smell coffee. Try powerful breath mints. Anything to shake your taste buds out of their rut. It gets better; how long varies.

My tastebuds went AWOL between 1 month and 3 months. All I vaped was menthol and rough 'tobacco' vapes, mostly Dekang.
I'm just wondering, where do you generally buy your hardware?

Yes, I switched to menthol today but it was an old bottle, from when I started so it was 18mg nic. I just couldn't vape it so I emptied the tank. Perhaps I'll put a little in with some fruit flavours I have? I know that I can't taste much of the flavours I have. They all taste the same except from the mango and I've gone off that. Too sickly. Oh yes, I could also taste the "raspberry sorbet" from Vampire Vape. It tastes NOTHING like raspberry and everything like Parma Violets. Just gross! Yeah, there the only two I have tasted since early this week and they are the two I don't like.

Anywhere that gets good feedback on AAEC UK and doesn't inflate the prices and actually have some customer service.
So, not UKecigstore. :eek:
..not ecigwizard..

I used to use Vape Escape, but they gave up.:cry: Jason wanted to get his life back, bless him.

Myepack? Bold Vape? Fasttech (certain things)?

I think I may have said before, Vampire are OK for 'regular' e-cigs but too much for higher powered ones.

I don't know if you have it but I do, and it took me a while to realise I had it. I'm experiencing it for the first time so I'm not too knowledgeable on it. A lot of things are recommended, such as rehydrate, mouthwash, switch juice flavours, rehydrate, drink orange and/or other fruits juices, rehydrate, chew on ginger, eat spicy food, aaaannnd... rehydrate.

Instead of wasting good flavours, vape on the juices you did not like. You shouldn't mind it as you can not taste it.

Day 12 with vaper's tongue. Vaping on Captain Roger's Scurvy Dog and I must admit it tastes a lot better than before :p

I've noticed some juices, like this one and Gemini 100 Grand, feels a little heavy/weighty when inhaling and exhaling. It also leaves behind a mild weighty oil-ish sensation behind in the throat. What ingredients would contribute to that? Excuse my expert terminology.

**Edit**
And don't say oil :p

VG, maybe?

Can you taste anything? I'll see if it lasts much longer for me. I'm a bit run down so it may just be that. I'm certainly not enjoying vaping like I usually do. Any flavour I can actually taste I'm not liking. I don't know what's going on?

No, I can not taste anything. Well in terms of vape. I can still taste other things such my food and the carpet.

Now and then I do get a slight hint of flavour on the back and front of my tongue, but it happens rarely so it's nothing to write home about.
