I want my taste buds to come back so bad. A full month without any taste.

My tastebuds have also gone walkabout. I'm approx 6 weeks in. Initially they started to ramp up after a couple of weeks, to the point where I was smelling things I hadn't noticed for years and the cherry e-juice I made up tasted out of this world. But then they disappeared again, to the point where they are worse than when I smoked. For me its not just the vaping that I can't taste. I'd made a batch of chili and frozen it before christmas and had a portion a week after quitting and it tasted great but I had some last night and I could barely taste it. I'm also suffering from mouth ulcers which I understand can be a temporary side effect from giving up analogues.

I think its just a case of riding it out whilst everything settles down, rotating flavours and staying hydrated.

The loss of taste will go away. Drink water like there's going to be a shortage and vape a strong juice. It takes about a week but it'll come back. I think that part of it is our brains reprogramming.

it probably looks ridiculous, but im having the same problem, and what i do is sniff on a vicks inhaler to temporarily clear out the sinuses, then vape..its the only way i can taste the flavour at the moment, until my taste buds kicks back in..

I'm having this same problem. Today is one month analog free and this has been going on for about two weeks for me. The only thing I've found that helps is I alternate between RY4 and Green USA Mix (menthol) throughout the day. I'm drinking a ton of water and not seeing a lot of improvement yet. I really hope it ends soon.

Well, when smoking cigarettes I can't say that I really taste anything when using my regular brand. If I switch or bum a smoke that's a different brand I do taste it. Perhaps vapor is the same.

I can't say that the taste of food is an issue for me though, as it is unchanged.
