Everything tastes of one thing, and smells of another.

Title says it all really - today I seem to only be able to taste ONE of my new flavors, but everything smells of another one - even the one I *can* taste - if that makes sense.
Even my real drinkable coffee smelled like cheesecake, but it all tastes like spicy apple - even the capuccino juice I got.
I thought it was the atty I was using, but when I smell the atty it smells of cheesecake - a flavor I didn't put in THAT atty.
This is my first FULL day without analgos the other days Ive had a max of 2 - thats down rapidly in the last 2 weeks or so from 10 which was down from around 30 when I had no PV at all.
I tried brushing teeth, brushing my tongue, washing my hands several times..but nothings really changing.
Oh I just discovered I can smell fresh OJ ok, and it tastes like fresh OJ, until it reaches the back of my tongue when it turns into apple and smells like cheesecake :rolleyes:
I'm not 'worried' by this, (I've never found a post yet that says someone's taste buds changed irrevocably) but I this one of those things we all go through to some extent changing over from ciggies to PVs?
Maybe I got more all over me than I thought (lol I'm really not that clumsy but occasional spills happen, right?) and the smells are pervasive?

Shot of whiskey lol - I hate whiskey tho :D
Today its gone - weirdest thing ever happened to me and it passed overnight. I wish I knew what caused it. maybe too many new flavors at once was overwhelming. Maybe it was my taste buds coming back to life and being instantly put out of action by conflciting tastes.
I dont have a cold, my sinuses felt ok too.
I actually felt the taste was caught on my tongue but its possible it got caught in my sinuses also - maybe 2 different falvors in 2 different places.
Oh well - i can taste evrything today - which was bad news cause I vaped like an eedjit :lol:

That happens to me all the time. I'm finally getting to the point where I can go without a cig all day, but I still have an occasional one. Some days, everything tastes the same or has little flavor. All I can do is hope that my taste buds and sense of smell recover more every day. You take the good, you take the bad, and there you have........

But, I had my chuck for a week with 2 3.7 batteries and an HV atty and the flavor increased significantly. But, unfortunately I dropped it and broke the switch, so it's in for repair now. But maybe another PV would help bring out more flavors.
