loss of flavor

[happy1951]

I have been vaping about 7 weeks. Once again I cannot taste the flavor in my juice. I have two different flavors and cannot taste either one of them. I cannot seem to vape any of the wonderful sweet flavors as I get terrible headaches when I do.

I am pretty bummed about this.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks in Advance.

Hey Happy! I'm sorry you're not... happy. :/

Could you clarify this:

I cannot seem to vape any of the wonderful sweet flavors as I get terrible headaches when I do.

Is it that the two flavors you have and can't taste are giving you headaches? Or out of the flavors you have, only two don't give you headaches. We'll also need to know a few more things:

1. What are the flavors?

2. Do you know the PG/VG ratio of the eliquid?

3. What is the nicotine content of the flavors giving you headaches?

It can be normal for new vapors to experience a little of this a few weeks in, but at 1st glance what you have sounds like vapor tongue. This is generally caused by a combination of your mouth and sinuses getting coated, and "olfactory fatigue" which is where your brain smells so much of something that it decides it doesn't need to pay attention to it anymore, and it's how people are able to live in New Jersey.

A few tips:

1. Drink more water than you think you need to. Vaping is very dehydrating, and it helps wash away the residues.

2. Rotate your eliquids, especially with very different flavors. e.g., if you vape a lot of tobaccos, vaping a bit of a menthol might help. If you vape a lot of fruits, switch to a peppermint or something.

3. This is a wine trick I picked up, but consider having a cup of coffee or even smelling some grounds for a bit. It helps reset the nose.

And don't worry, it isn't permanent.

Hi happy and welcome to the forum!

What DB said above is true, and each person's bout with it is different. After smoking for over 40 years, my taste didn't start coming back for about 3 months or so. I had to buy the strongest-flavored juices I could find. Can't even vape them now without mixing them with something else.

When your taste fully recovers, it will be a glorious time!

Happy Vaping!

Im fnew to vaping myself but it seems something might need replaced. I've hit a ego-t that wasn't giving any flavor but a burnt nasty taste and found out it needed a new clearomizer. I'm sure someone will co e along and help you out better. Just let ppl know what you are using to vape with. Good luck.
