Hey Sirius

Couple other points while you are doing battle:

You may be making things worse by doing some "desperate vaping." The first time vaper's tongue hit me I know I did. You may have started drawing harder, drawing longer, drawing faster, sucking like a straw rather than inhaling... Your vaping technique can fall apart in the process of trying to fix the problem - and it only makes things worse. You need to get the vapor mixed with air across your tongue. Desperate vaping techniques tend to not do that. Revisit your vaping technique. => http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-library/337017-inhalation-technique-e-cigarette.html

For some people exhaling out the nose seems to help too.

Strong stuff like a hot cinnamon, menthol, clove, peppermint may be the only things you taste if it's a bout of vaper's tongue. But they can backfire on you too. Don't stay with those flavors for an extended period of time or you may end up not being able to taste anything at all. It's happened to people who really like(d) a hot cinnamon but after a month of it couldn't taste the cinnamon or anything else. Total sensory overload.

If you hit the hot/strong cinnamons - absolutely no plastic tanks. Those flavors kill plastic tanks in a matter of minutes. For your Mt. Baker stuff the list of plastic killer flavors is here. => E Juice that may break a plastic tanks | Mt Baker Vapor WikiMt Baker Vapor Wiki

Not being able to taste anything when you are new to this is frustrating as all hell. The first couple times it happened to me the last thing I wanted was to be tasting nothing at all. However, getting some unflavored liquid in your regular nic level isn't a bad idea either. When you are completely burnt out on flavor chasing just heading for the unflavored makes a welcome break.

Hi all I'm having a problem tasting my favorite juice now. I love Vanilla Tobacco but after a couple of months vaping it, it seems to have lost the flavor it had. I'm beginning to think I got 3 dud bottles of the stuff. Could it be my taste buds aren't working right? This is very perplexing to me and Idk what I should do. Maybe go with something different for a few weeks? I know they have different tobacco flavors where I get the Vanilla Tobacco from. I did try a small bottle of a Chocolate with this order and it was very good. Just not something I would want for an all day vape. Anyone else ever had a problem with the taste of their favorite juice changing flavor on them? Very interested in what some of the more experienced vapers have to say about this please! :blink:

Happens to me all the time.

First thought is how long away are you now from your smoking days? Because your taste will change the further away from smoking you get. And it could continue to change for a while. Months in my case. I've hit eight months now since my last cig and you should see the stash of "I don't like 'em no more" juices in the cabinet.

Plus, I suspect like food, if you vape a flavor a lot (as I bet most of us do when we find a new favorite), you lose interest after a while. I dunno, your tongue gets bored? :)

I rotate flavors a lot these days to try to avoid that. But even still, I have a blueberry that I just love that, today, finally, I seem to be having a rather, "meh" response to. Time to retire it for a while I think...

Thank you both for the responses -- mkbilbo I have been quit smoking for 4 months. Vaping that long as well.

Your mileage may vary, of course but I remember changes in taste well into summer. Three or so months out. I know my buying habits settled into a "routine" four, five months after my last cig.

Big change leaving behind the 4,000+ other chemicals in tobacco. I suspect it takes time for you to find a new "equilibrium".

I set favorites aside after a while. Give something new a chance. Sometimes, it's just simple "tired of it". I love blueberry anything and vape a blueberry of some kind a lot. Then, this week, just couldn't take one more puff. :) So blueberry everything is being retired for a while...
