Have you taken a drop on your finger and tasted it that way? If you can, then I think when you vape it the power is too high. Some of my flavors need a lower level of power for me to taste. Not sure why that is but if I want to taste them, I lower the amount of power I use on my mod. I also find that different atty/tanks and even sometimes mods allow for a different/varied vape. I dont know the science behind it, but I have been vaping over 8 years and I guess that is just how it is.
I have also heard of lots of members having same trouble with strawberry that you do. Have you been away from cigarettes long enough for your taste buds to heal?

I have tried using several different setups, and lower power devices, different tank's and types and so on. I can smell it just fine but when I vape that flavor it's just blah bland nothing. Have not been off smokes for very long just around 3 month or so. Maybe that is the problem. Was just curious if there are certain other flavors that are like this.Have you taken a drop on your finger and tasted it that way? If you can, then I think when you vape it the power is too high.

It's not an unusual problem. Your best bet is to get a raspberry juice and add a few mls to the strawberry, maybe 1ml raspberry to 10ml of strawberry to start. Raspberry in small amounts will enhance the strawberry.
I'm lucky in this arena I can taste most flavors. I find some to be unbelievably VILE but I can taste them. Strawberry is one such flavor for me, so although Letitia has given you good advice, I'm also here to say, you could just cut your losses on that one. Your tongue may actually be PROTECTING you. Etc.

People have a lot of different tastes. Perhaps your personal chemical makeup, acidity level, and flavor profile clashes with the flavor strawberry.
@stols001 I've had some pretty nasty strawberry flavors too, bad like thinking to myself "how did this place ever get a repeat customer?".
Couple good ones though. What usually makes the difference for me is a tiny bit of tartness, but needs to really be like biting into a ripe strawberry for me, or like sliced strawberries with sugar for shortcake. Mmmm food.

My ability to sense the full flavor of most ejuices depends on the condition of my taste buds on that particular day. Sometimes after a meal my vape tastes really good. Other times, not always at optimum levels. Certain foods, especially citrus seem to enhance my ability to taste flavors. I guess it's the acid that balances the PH in your mouth.

I think is pretty much true for everyone. Nothing tastes good after minty toothpaste.
When I started vaping I would keep menthol type juice flavors around solely to be used after brushing.I think is pretty much true for everyone. Nothing tastes good after minty toothpaste.
I was never a fan of menthol, and now I just try to rinse my mouth more thoroughly and deal with the taste. Vape juice covers it up pretty quick lol.
I'm actually one of those flavor blind. Whichever is the strongest I taste but not for long, and after two or three tanks all I make out of it is that it has flavor... I rinse my mouth, but yea, still nothing. That's why I rotate my juices often, sometimes 1/3 of the way, so I can taste some of it at least. Complex flavors for me are totally lost.
Anything like cookies cereals and such i cannot taste, no matter which i've tried i cannot make what's it supposed to taste. They still taste good, but i never got the exact taste (last one i tried was a cookie type which even though tasted good, never had the cookie taste for me).
NB: i'm a bit like @Susaz aswell, ie i need to rotate my juices, otherwise they stop tasting and i get a bland taste, so i switch it out every couple days (mostly when i rewick my rdas)

I rotate a number of flavors. Some are tobaccos and some are fruit, candy, and dessert. Some days it's all good and there are days that nothing is really worth a second tank full. That's when I switch to unflavored juice for awhile and wait for the tongue to adjust (and heal).
A glass of orange juice is usually good for the palate.
