Loss of flavour

[Balllsy]

I am vaping menthol at the moment and have noticed that after a short time ... approx 45mins - 1hr I seem to loose the menthol flavour. Is this common ?

I'm not a Menthol vaper Balllsy, but I find any flavour disappears for me after a time, that's
why I have several on the go and switch between them, so my taste buds don't get too
' tuned in'.

I think its a common thing. What once was a really nice kiwi flavour is just a fizzy taste (like when you were a child and made fizzy water with your mums soda stream YUCK!!!!) in my mouth after a few days of vaping it.

I have been considering going back to the Type A style atomizers because they only hold 1/1.5ml of liquid compared to the 2.5ml of the type B just so I can change flavours more often.

Going to give the vivi mini 2.5 a try as it gets good reviews .

The Mini Vivi is a great little tank system Silver, love mine . . . plus it's easy enough to
rewick/coil the heads on them.

Yes. Me too.

could be that your taste buds are growing accustom to the flavour so in effect ignoring it. Try switching flavour the going back to it, i also have to do the same on my most fav flavours

as people have said you seem to get used to a flavour after a while. Swapping to another tends to work. If you are using cartos don't refill with different flavours as some 'stick' such as cherry or apple , they will never go away!. I have not tried menthol but many people say this is one of the hardest flavours to mute if you ar changing flavour in the same carto, tank, clearomiser etc.

Menthol really is a bad one for taste lingering on! I also found that an Orange flavour was a stayer! It did actually make a nice mix with the new flavour for a while, don't think I'd have been able to make the flavour on purpose!

Yes, not just menthol. It happens to me during the day no matter what flavors I'm vaping. I have to go brush my teeth, gargle or at least swish some coke or pepsi around in my mouth to get my tastebuds back. My vape flavors change or fade out then come back again depending on if I'm drinking coffee, an occasional alcoholic beverage or just water too. Also, my sinus issues affect how vapes taste. Sometimes my nose gets a little stuffy, then sure enough, my vape flavors fade out. That's cause I taste with my nose too, not just my mouth, sort of LOL
When vaping I exhale through my nose to get more flavor. Not sure if everyone finds this to be true or not.
