Everything tastes a little weird.

[thoughtfull1]

I have been without a regular cigarette for 3 days now.

Today I noticed that everything I eat or drink is tasting a little different. Sort of not as intense in flavor. I know that people say that when you quit smoking everything tastes and smells better. I'd say, everything tastes different. Is this a result of smoking withdrawal or is it the effect of the e-juice on my tastes buds? I can't say that I'm really liking it, but I can put up with it.

Thanx.

Drinka LOT more water than usual for one thing - and also - it gets worse before it gets better often as far as renewing tastebuds goes. Also VG can sometimes coat your tongue a bit - but more water should help a bit to start with.

I've found that things tasted "different" after my first day of vaping but not so much better right away. Your tastebuds are getting healthier and more sensitive to flavors, they had always been damaged by all the chemicals in tobacco smoke and now they are healing and getting back to normal once again.

It will take some time, but before too long things will start to taste better and along with your sense of smell returning, you'll start to see why non-smokers said we all used to stink so bad.

Thanx Jay. I'll try it. I'm using PG only. I mean it's not awful, but really kind of weird!

thanx for the info guys. Hey, how do I get one of those banners on my profile? I can't manage to get mine linked to my profile! They're neat, and I want to keep track of my progress.

I'm fairly new to vaping and that happened to me the first couple of days and then my taste improved and now almost in week4 - it's back the new juice I had just gotten all of a sudden has no taste. I wonder when things start to taper off and become more consistant?? Any ideas???

Besides tastebuds changing as a result of cutting down and/or quitting analogues I can also tell you (at least from my experience):

anytime I eat something with garlic or onions my flavors start to taste horrible or at least quite odd (more so with the onions than from garlic) but drinking a cup of coffee usually corrects it.
