hi guys, Just thought I would leave you a quick update on my side!

I was having the same issues yesterday and had tried everything that I could think of! All the cleaning tips here, everything! Made no difference and the taste has been getting gradually worse all day. Unfortunately, when I got back from work today, the replacement atty that I was expecting hasn't arrived!

I have spent most of the evening trying to clean the atty, cleaning carts and refilling. Dripping, anything to try and get more than 1 or 2 puffs of flavour from my ecig.

On my last cleaning attempt of the atty, think that I might have slightly loosened the wick, which from what I read here isn't a good thing! Although, the smell that came off it just then, (this was whilst cleaning under running water and blowing out) was really bad. Washed it again and now it is working like new!

When you have your replacements, might be worth seeing if this is something similar on yours. Worst case you ruin the atty, but if it tastes anything like mine did, you are hardly likely to be using it again anyway!

Also, learnt my lesson! Always keep spares ready to go! ;-)

i lost my taste for like two weeks. i dunno why but everything tasted horrible. tried new attys , cleaning them ect. it was just my taste getting weird i think. i did freak out haha. i dont know what caused this. but most of my flavors still make me gag. but some that were bad are now vapable again. and i believe my taste is coming back slowly. i have heard that after you quit smoking that your body will try to detox the chemicals from cigs and cause your taste to get weird. this happened to me 3-4 weeks after quiting. i also vaped a ton of juice at 6v maybee that didnt help either ha. but i heard loosing your taste after quiting is a common thing. if nothing seems vapeable to you i wld try some menthol. that seemed to be a quik fix!

Thanks 5th, the timing fits in perfectly with my experience. I hadn't really thought about that, but it explains a lot really! My other vice is coffee and I have noticed that the coffee in the office that I have been drinking by the bucket load has tasted a bit off for the past couple of days. Just assumed that the vending machine needed servicing!

Although, I think that trying to quit the coffee at the same time as the smokes might be a step too far! Think I will just try a different brand of coffee and think about that next month! ;-)

Sometimes I taste just fine :D and other times my mouth has a burning feeling and I can't taste much. Brushing my teeth doesn't help either. It seems to get worse as the day goes on and is fine again in the morning. That's why I thought it might be too much nic or the PG?? I took a couple of drags off an analog ... just 'cause, and thought I was going to pass out from the head rush!! :shock:

Tasty Vapor's Atomic Fireball makes it go away when I vape it, so makes sense that menthol would also.

I can't stand the taste of coffee right now either, but I like the coffee juices. Weird!!! :confused:
