Is anyone else like me? Do you not taste anything on the inhale and only on the exhale?

I ONLY taste flavor on the exhale I'm not sure what other techniques there are to taste on the inhale. Am I crazy?
Nope.. You're fine clodo..Just a lung hitter that needs to perfect the air flow from around the tip style of lung hits...If you're using Chuff Caps that's going to be quite a task.

I taste my vape on both inhale and exhale, but there is more flavor on the exhale. IMO that's because my nose gets more involved on the exhale.

One thing I've found helps is to take a small initial puff and exhale that through your nose and then go for the main drag. It doesn't matter if you pull into your mouth first and then inhale or just lung inhale, there's more flavor either way for me.

I taste just about nothing until I take the tip out of my mouth and inhale air. I sometimes have a hard time telling my mod is working, but I do need to change a few coils (I just want to finish those older bottles I don't like as much anymore). Some liquids I taste less on the exhale, while others I taste about the same.

Need some nose in on the action as mentioned. Part of what we refer to as flavor truly is a mix of flavor, smell - and the more mystical intersection between these: aroma.

At least part of the "more flavor on the exhale" can be explained sort-of simply. Things don't generally work their way up your nose on their own. (With a handful of noteworthy exceptions, e.g bugs). Which makes most things fail the basic Nose Perception Test by walkover.

Take a breath through your mouth (free pass just this once) - notice how little your nose gets in on the action. THAT'S what's going on! No action: no satisfaction.
