So I have an ego-c that I got 4 days ago. I've got 3 different juices today everything started to taste the same, and they all had a strange metallic flavor to them, for instance the mountain dew didn't even taste like mountain dew anymore it tasted like mountain metal. As i was told that my atty's would last atleast up to three weeks, and it's only been 4 days..i didn't think that was the problem. but i changed them anyway and still get the same taste...what is going on here??????????????

If you have just quit smoking your buds won't be normal for a while. If you vape a lot you can muck up your buds too or if you go with high nic levels. IME. My taste buds are messed up anyway from an injury so I DIY my juice and mix up high flavor in mine. You can order juice with higher flavor levels also.
not using a tank its te ego-c start kit. I did just quit smoking. and i do vape like crazy..i'd love it more if i could taste the flavors. i hope this improves...where do you get the sweetest flavors from..so i can at least make it through this funk.

Eat something, or have a drink. That'll kick your taste buds in the pants, then you can taste the juice again. Works for me.
Or you may try vaping a pure "base" liquid (PG or VG without a flavor) for a day or two and your taste buds will reset to normal.
If your juices all taste like metal, it's probably not you. It's probably your atomizer shorting out on you.
Do you have another you can try? A metallic taste is often an indication of a short.

As others have said, years of cigarette smoking has damaged your taste buds. They'll return, but the time frame varies greatly from one individual to another.
A tip to use: Exhale some of the vapor through your nose, which its sense of smell is likely not as damaged as your tongue. Our nose actually aids us to interpret flavors with food, and can also help you "taste" your e-liquid flavors.
You could use some stronger flavors such as cinnamon, the 'mints, or menthol. But before using a cinnamon flavor, you will need to put it in a plastic-free delivery device, not a clearomizer or vivi nova tank. Some flavors like a cinnamon or citrus flavor (Mountain Dew above) can react negatively with clear plastic and cause it to crack or even melt. I'd recommend using a cartomizer with those flavors, as they are made of stainless steel and will be immune to those flavors' effects.
A list of those flavors are in this link: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-crack-tanks-ce2s-clearos-33.html#post8158663
cartomizers
Also, know that some e-juices require some time to steep, or mature. Upon arrival from the vendor, they may taste chemically. Try leaving the top cap off of them for a night or two after shaking the bottle. If there is any alcohol in the juice's base, this will allow it to evaporate.

Yeah if your are tasting it then likely an atomizer or carto short. Also make sure to keep them wet if you are chain vaping nothing tastes worse then a burnt wick.

Could be hardware related, but I get the same thing. Vaping all day, and by the end of the day they all taste the same with metallic undertones. So, I brush my teeth, eat some dinner, pour myself a scotch, and then I vape and all the flavor is restored.
What nic level? anything I vape above 18 gives me a metallic taste. It is a body reaction to the nic for me. I also can't use aluminum drip tips. Can taste the metal.
Some good advice so far. I would also suggest trying natural flavors. For me, many flavors including tobacco fade after only a few hits but organic strawberry I can taste all day.
Interesting. I get a peppery taste from the nicotine. The only reason I recognize it is that it reminds me of the nicotine gum. That's often how I can tell I've vaped enough and it's time for a break - my tongue gets all peppery.
