Order from somewhere else? I mean, it's bound to happen. One specific vendor who uses all the same base flavorings for all their juices, they eventually are going to start running together flavor wise especially if you vape them a lot.

Hence why I switch vendors juices from time to time. I like my organic juices some days, other days I want that candied flavor, and others it's an MBV day lol

I think the OP is having this issue REGARDLESS of brand, it's just that she's tried more MBV juices than anything else.

So, logically, one of four things could be the issue.

The juice.However, the chance that EVERY juice you've tried is just THAT weakly flavored and/or similar in flavor profile? Unlikely. Moving on.

The delivery system. Other than flavor, how satisfying is the vape experience? Are you getting a lot of vapor? Decent throat hit? Is it satisfying your need for nicotine, if you have one? If all else is right with the delivery system, well, it's probably not that either. (Unless you are using the same carto / clearo / tank for every juice without a thorough clean and soak. In that case, the problem IS your delivery device. Those flavors will just keep right on blending and blending.)

Vaper's Tongue / Dehydration: I'm guessing it's hot where you are, so if you're not already drinking approximately 64 oz of liquid a day (the daily recommended without the dehydrating effects of vaping), start by upping your water intake. Other things that people have reported helping with vaper's tongue include: mouthwash, dill pickles, carbonated beverages (esp Sprite or Gingerale), vaping unflavored, vaping something VERY STRONG INDEED, rinsing your mouth with lemon/lime juice, rinsing your mouth with vodka, apple cider vinegar, and it goes on and on and on. Bottom line is, if you're adequately hydrated and you are doing SOMETHING to cleanse your palette on occasion, this is also *probably* not the cause, but vaper's tongue tends to be more of a case of "can't taste ANYTHING" than "everything tastes the same".

Another smell or taste issue: Something to consider if you also have issues tasting or smelling food, but probably best left for a doctor to figure out.

Tucson, it's a dry heat
I was thinking delivery system too. I consider my tastebuds dull and have a hard time tasting stuff. Then today, a fellow vaper set up my IGO-L with a 1.3 coil and WOW talk about flavor!! Of course, it's just an RDA and everything else I have are clearos, so I have to go back to mutedness. It sure is interesting to take a trip to the "other side of town" though :)

I think your period key is broken.

Seriously, though: a lot of these flavors are nearly the same. Apple + pear + grape = fruit punch. Add pineapple and bam! Tropical punch. Sour it up and tone down the juice? Sour skittles. Add a creme flavor and now they're ice cream flavors, which is just a little bit away from varieties of pies.

Juice is all going to "taste the same" to some unavoidable extent, kinda how cigarettes do. It's great if you find an amazing unique flavor, but just try treating it like a cigarette. No one smoked for the flavor: it's nicotine delivery, remember? Putting up with the flavor may have become familiarity with it, which combined with nicotine addiction comes off as "liking it", but it takes putting up with it first.

I've had similar issues with vendors I won't name. Even across vendors, there's often an overwhelming sameness, and you come away with the sense that in a blind taste test minus the florid descriptions you'd have no idea what flavor you're trying. I have, however, found a few best-in-class vendors that avoid all of these issues, and at the moment, Ahlusions tops them all. I'd also include Five Pawns as not one of their juices tastes like the next.

Vaping didn't get "good" for me till I got down into the 1 ohm range with ss mesh. It's all about finding the sweet spot. Plus some juices are just crap. I do like mbv for the price and speed of shipping but out of the 40 I have tried I only like America from there. Was it a huge want of money? Yes. Am I not slowly killing myself with cigarettes anymore you bet you ..... Some people just have to go that extra mile to find what works for them.

I use 3 protanks and a viv nova clone. and the 510 dripper atty. I guess ill try others. im also using a ego 1100 twist. I have lemon juice ill try that....

I'm gonna say it's not you. I find Protanks provide the best flavor and realized that I shouldn't truly judge until I've put the liquid in one. MBV is great, great people but it's true: I ordered Key Lime, Cherry Limeade, and Rad Energy Drink from them and they're all clearly just slight iterations on one another. So in that case I chose my favorite, keep it in stock, and move on to other options. Ahlusions was the real "vaping is cot damn good" moment for me, though. I can give any of my Ahlusion options to any friend and immediately, they know exactly what the flavor is. Can't say that of any of the others.
