My mod is rx200s and avocado24 with some dual coils 24 gauge with nasty juice e liquid
And from the start i just cant taste anything the vapor of the e liquid please help mee
If this goes on ,im thinking back to smoking...
I have been vaping for about 2 weeks and i still cant taste anyyy flavourr
I have tried using listerene, drink lots of water and brushing my teeth. I also dont have any kind of sickness regarding to flu

Are you building this? Either it's a bad atomizer ( which seems unlikely), or your build is not right in some way. 99% of E-Liquid tastes of something. Strange cotton? Stupid high/ low watts? There's an explanation in there somewhere. Good luck.

Since you said that you can't taste anything since you started, I would bet that it's your juice, otherwise it sounds like vapors tongue.
Your build on the avocado can also be part of the issue. Not knowing what cotton or if it's wicked properly for air flow.
A 200 watt mod on a rebuildable is a heck of a way to start out....lol

It will take awhile for your taste buds to return after smoking, we've all gone through that stage. I don't have the avocado so I'm not totally familiar with it. If you can, try to reduce the airflow a bit, lots of air will increase the cloud size but also reduces the flavor. If you can remove the drip tip (part you put in your mouth) try a smaller tip which also helps with the flavor. Have you tried other flavors? It may just be the juice you're using doesn't have a lot of flavor. Good to see you're drinking lots of water and brushing your teeth as this helps control vapors tongue. Hang in there, it gets better.

It's vaper's tongue. It passes. Just give it time. Even if it doesn't, do you really want to go back to smoking because it tastes good?? I don't think anyone ever took their first drag on a cigarette and said "My God, that's delicious".

 

[Bunnykiller]

what kind of juice are you using??? a bit more info would help us determine what the issue may be...

Like others have said, there could be several things that can cause this.
I just so happen to be running that exact setup (referring to the tank and mod of course).

The Avocado 24: I've been running a single coil.
Right now I have an Alien Clapton with 5 wraps around a 3mm post, but I have used round kanthal. My resistance is usually around .6 ohms, give or take.
My wicks (Japanese cotton) run 1/4-1/2 way down the tank. There should be a little restriction in the coil loop but not too tight. I also like to use a dental pick (small screwdriver or toothpick works as well) to poke a small hole on the edge of each side where the wick comes in contact with the deck (I occasionally re-poke the hole when the cotton has expanded).
The airflow is open roughly 1/3 of the way.

The RX200s: Running in Wattage mode @ roughly 45.5w.

Make sure the wicks are getting juice, I usually tip or roll the mod to saturate them.

The flavor I'm getting is not quite as good as a RDA but pretty darn close.

Hope this helps.

The first couple weeks of vaping is the roughest. You may get dry throat also. Stick with it, drink lots and lots of water. It passes. That being said, changing flavors from time to time is a must. I usually keep 2 flavors around. Because some flavors after vaping about 15ml or so over say 4-5 days can make it not taste anymore, so I keep a menthol type flavor around to vape on when that happens, a few days of that, and its back to normal for my sweet flavor. Cheers.

Its nasty juice bad blood 50/50 pg vg ratio 6mg nic and i have another question, i bought a new e liquid from the milkman churrios which is 99% vg and it gives me this insane throat hit! I have changed my coils to clapton 24g kanthal so i could go to a higher wattage, do i raise the wattage or so?

Yeah cause i thought that rather than buying a vape pen first, why not go all the way through to buy much better mod and atty?

Thanks for the info bro! Actually my wicking method is almost the same as yours.

Can you recommend me some menthol vapes, it seems i cant find any of them on my local shops

 

[Forkeh]

What ohms are you running? I've found that too much power can really destroy the flavor of some juices (not all of them mind you). Try turning down the watts, or building at a higher resistance.

 

[Magic Of Light]

Very Very VERY highly recommend you try creme de menth. Basically every vape shop has that one, its been in my rotation for years.

Good menthol flavors dont lose their flavor fast like alot of other flavors do. They will stay tasting good for long periods of time. I usually do my creme de menth for about 30ml before switching flavors

Early on, it was all unidentifiable flavor. There were so differences between flavors, but still not really identifiable. Someone suggested peppermint because it is easy to identify and it is "blunt". It worked pretty well.

It all didn't comeback together either. Say Apple Pie, I tasted blah at first. Then after a month, the Apple was detectable. Another month and cinnamon was also detected, and then farther down the road the crust was actually noticeable as bakery crust.

A lot of juices have multiple flavors that come together to make that first flavor. I tried an Apple once and I was surprised to get a musty wood crate flavor in the background. I forget what brand, but, I put it aside thinking that it needed more steeping, but it was still the same.

Actually, I can look it up because I take a lot of notes. Hate to buy bad twice.

Anyway, it took me a bunch of months before I could really taste some higher end (complex) flavors.

As someone else said, less air leaves the flavor more noticeable. Heat can easily change the taste, too.
