Flavor isn't as strong anymore

[MoonSparkle]

This might sound silly but I struggled with this at first too when I first started vaping but my husband who is an ex-wine taster suggested I smell coffee grounds to see if it would help and it did a bit. It wasn't a miracle or anything but it helped me a little.

Of course, if you're congested, that is very likely the culprit and you'll have to wait it out.

Taste buds turn over every two weeks or so I think so it's good to know whatever you are experiencing is likely not going to last forever but everyone here gave great suggestions! Some I never heard of myself and will keep in mind in the future.

I've got it too, after a month. I'm terribly congested so I'm not too worried about it.

Water, water ...after every vape in an ideal world. Oh, hang on - we can do that....

Try a curry. It'll set things back to normal.

Don't expect too much from vaping. If you want nicotine and mouth-feel, carry on. But if you want to taste a strawberry, then eat one. Most of the flavour stuff is good ad copy and marketing imho.

mmmm Curry..

i normally keep a few flavors loaded in different takes and setups and switch them up throughout the day otherwise i start to loose a bit of flavor,kinda like if i was to eat pistachios all day the first handful would be glorious and before you know it you wouldn't even taste them anymore,kinda the same thing. also keeping a fresh atomizer on your devices makes a huge difference as anything with a wick will work as a filter for the flavors in the juice and start to build up gunk blocking some flavor and also start to collect some of the chard remains of the flavoring that didnt vaporize muting the flavor and even start to make the juices taste different over time.

I have to agree with the comments about water. I think many vapers overlook this essential necessity when questioning lack of flavor in their vape. It’s the FIRST thing I look at anytime I notice my flavors dropping off.

Vaping dehydrates us…especially heavy vapers like myself . Anyone vaping should make it a point to drink plenty of fluids. And being congested definitely doesn’t help…..but water will help that as well! Hit the water hard and be patient….your flavors will be back. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! lol

I've been drinking loads of water and even ate a crap load of homemade ghost pepper sauce. Still congested, but I've noticed the flavor is back. I was getting pretty worried. Thanks for all the advice everyone.

You could try a drop or two no more of white vinegar to about 5ml of juice. If no white any will do.

Not apple cider vinegar! Been drinking it for a year now (for its health benefits) and the only thing that tastes similar is.... puke... or stomach acid, or something.

But seriously.... vinegar? I've never heard of this in the vape world.

Add lemon juice to fruity flavors

Here's an old thread on it but there's more if you dig around . http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/252238-vinegar.html

Wow, that's a huge thread! and some of them are actually vaping ACV? Sounds a little risky to me. The stomach converts the acid to alkaline, but the lungs? Doubt it.

I used to add apple cider vinegar to warm water and drink it for health reasons. I wonder what the benefits would be with vaping it. I may try it.

 

[mightymen]

Never drank the stuff and I wouldn't suggest it UNLESS you ask your Doctor first that stuff is strong.
Ever see what happens when you soak a piece of chicken in Vinegar.

But I've used a few times to bring the flavor back and it does work.

Read up on the healing properties in it.

I switched over to Unicorn's Milk from Mother's Milk same deal...just drink water and swap out flavors.

after smoking it takes a week or two for the tastebuds to regenerate from their "smokers" state..

good luck!
