It could simply be vaper's tongue - once you get used to a flavour you can go through a spell of not tasting it. It's also not unusual to not taste vape flavours at all for a period, especially just after quitting smoking. People have speculated that it may have something to do with the taste buds recovering after quitting. Have you tried different flavours and a new coil? If you have any 6 mg/ml left, can you try it out to see whether or not you still taste it?
Another issue that your post brings up is that your tank might not suit you. Smok tanks are really for cloud chasing more than flavour. Their general popularity means a lot of people who are new to vaping wind up using Smok products when they'd really be happier with something else.
Are you familiar with the difference between MTL and DL style vaping? Mouth-to-lung (MTL) means you suck the vapour into your mouth and then inhale it. MTL devices tend to be more flavour-focused. The Juul would be MTL. Smok devices are DL, or direct lung: you inhale the vapour straight down. They're more cloud-focused, although that doesn't mean you can't get good flavour.
If you don't mind answering a few questions, someone here might be able to suggest a better tank for you:

- Does DL or MTL sound better to you, or are you not sure?
- What wattage are you using?
- What coil are you using? Have you tried any others, and, if so, which did you prefer?
Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your decision to quit smoking. So many variables exist between the juul and the smok, and additional input is needed to help you. What coil are you using? Pg/vg ratio of your juice? What wattage are you using to fire the coil?
Less nicotine does not equal less flavor. I think it is almost the opposite many times because nicotine itself has a flavor.
funny you say that I also tried the myle and enjoyed that as well. The juul didnt give me a strong enough pull. But the mile did but again its buying pods. And yes I'm a MTL vaper lol.. the wattage is questionable i adjust it often to get the best flavor without a burnt taste. And i have no idea of the cool. I went into the shop and got little to no help. I was thinking maybe i should switch to a refillable pen style device? I havent smoked a cigarette since dec 27, 2017 so almost a year. I did try and couldnt tolarate the taste (wet ash tray yuck) lol
The Panda is a good refillable pod device from what I've heard. If you like those devices upgrade to better ones.
its 70vg/30pg. Have no idea of the coil type. And I adjust the wattage occasionally trying to get the most flavor. I do have the vent just slightly opened.
At least the cigarettes are behind you! A refillable pod system might work well. I'll leave the recommendations to someone else as I'm not too familiar with them.
If you want to try a different tank with your current mod, the leading contenders for MTL are Aspire's Nautilus series and the Innokin Zenith. There's a new version of the Nautilus that's either just come out or is coming out very shortly - the 2S.
MTL also tends to involve higher resistance coils, lower wattage and higher nicotine levels, so if you try one of the above tanks you'll want to turn your settings way down and try increasing your nicotine - about double is common. You'll go through juice a lot more slowly so even with the higher nicotine level you should be getting about the same amount of nicotine overall as you were with the Baby.

That's my experience as well. I used 24 mg/ml juice for the first few years I vaped, and I had to order it with 2x the flavour to taste anything. I finally started dropping my nicotine levels and once I got below 10 the juice I'd relied on for years became so sweet and strong it was utterly disgusting. It finally occurred to me to drop the double flavour request and it went right back to how I remembered it.
Who are you asking? Anyway you can use salts or freebase in any device. If you don’t like a strong throat hit use salts.
Welcome and glad you joined.
