Help - several e-liquids taste bitter and sour

[reffjak]

I'm a new vaper and have been vaping for a few months. I am hoping that somebody might be able to help me with my dilemma. I have several e-liquids that are around a month old that are sweet liquids, but have suddenly become very sour and bitter to vape. A couple of the juices that I'm referring to are Dragon's Blood from ecblend and Tiger's Blood from Zeus E-Juice. They are meant to be (and were) sweet, smooth liquids that both my girlfriend and I loved vaping. Then, one day last week, they just suddenly became un-vapeable (word?)

I usually vape with Kanger T3 on a Vision Spinner and my girlfriend will use either the Spinner or an eGo battery with a Kanger T2. I've replaced heads on our clearomizers to ensure that they weren't causing a problem and that didn't help. I also tried to vape the e-juice with a Boge carto and it still had that awful bitter tangy taste. I've also turned voltage to lowest setting to ensure that I wasnt burning the juice somehow.

I store my e-liquid in my office just sitting on my disk outside of direct sunlight in room temperature. This shouldn't cause them to spoil should it?

I bought several 30ml and one 60ml bottle that now seem to be trash. Does anyone have any ideas on what's going on?

Thanks

My personal thought on this is that it is probably your tastebuds gone crazy. Especially since you say it's multiple juices. Ejuice doesn't spoil like that. Flavor block or taste senses get a little weird for a lot of new vapers for awhile. Often it's dehydration, so be sure to drink more water than you are now. Chew some cinnamon gum, rinse with Biotene, have a taste of some lemon or lime juice. Also, if you have some sort of sinus infection, that could affect your taste sense, so you might need an antibiotic.

I had a similar experience with a local (un-named) vendor. I think it was due to the fact that my taste buds were getting stronger as I had quit smoking analogs. Maybe you didn't notice the taste at first because your buds were still weak. I can't even be around those flavors any more and they taste like rancidness to me. Try another vendor?

take buggs advise --- usually when this happens to me it is dehydration ... most new vapors forget they need lots of fluid

Thanks guys. I've was thinking that it might be something related to taste buds getting fried. For the past few days I have switched to a coffee flavor. I'm going to stay on top the hydration routine as that is also possible. I could definitely drink more water. I'll also pick up the biotene and try the other tips.

Thanks!

I've been using the biotene and, sure enough, flavor has returned!

Thanks for the advice!

Very interesting Buggs - didn't even occur to me about being hydrated. And the cinnamon was an added bonus. Gonna have to google how cinnamon helps taste buds.

This post was VERY informative to me.
Thank you!
