MK,I hope it's ok to post this here, I can't taste my e liquid right now....

[Safira]

MK I hope it's OK if I turn to you ladies for advice on this, it's like turning to my sisters for advice. (OK so I don't have sisters in real life, but if I did it would be just like that,...... minus the fighting, and stealing clothes.)

I had some gum cleaning done a few weeks ago, and they gave me this special mouthwash to use for a few weeks. They warned me it effects my taste buds and they aren't kidding. The stuff is horrible, and everything I eat has that taste too. I am drinking lots of water but that just doesn't help all that much.

I don't mind it with food but when I'm vaping I can't taste my vape. I DIY and I've been making my version of red hots, and doing a peppermint thing, but I'm getting sick of those flavors. I'm like an ADD child when it comes to vaping, I like a lot of change. Anyone have any other ideas, I have a lot of different flavors, but I think the only things I can taste are oils and I also have some orange oil I haven't used yet.

I have been doing this a while now, so I have quite the list of flavors, including commercial tobacco stuff. I just want something I can taste.

Thanks ladies, I don't mean to sound like a cry baby, it's just really starting to bother me.

Oh man- you have my empathy- I couldnt taste anything for over a month- I thought I would go NUTS-

but I cant imagine what to tell you- cause it does sound like its your meds

Safira,
If they gave you a Chlorahexidine rince like Peridex or Periogard, as far as I know, there is nothing that can help the taste problems. I am an Dental Hygienist and always tell my patients. I used it for a while to get to know it when I was recommending it to patients and it even make analogs taste worse.
My only suggestion would be a strong peppermint or spearmint to compliment the mint in the mouthwash.
How long are you supposed to use it?
MJ

 

[Fudgey]

That must be some powerful stuff if you can't even taste your food. I don't know what would help.....sorry

 

[Safira]

Yes, that's what I'm using, a chlorahexidine type of rinse.

I think it's just until the 23rd when I see her again then I can go back to regular mouthwash. (I hope, oh how I hope)

I do have some spearmint, I should try something with that.

Fudge, it just gives everything that taste, bad mouthwash taste. It's weird to describe but even my morning coffee gets that taste. But it doesn't go away.

(It's nasty.....)

I would stick with mints for a while...the spearmint ...wintergreen is great (remember the lifesavers and t-berry gum ?) You already have the P-mint....but you are tired of that....(p-mint is my all day---maybe you are mixing too strong...but then you'd want a strong to cover up right now !

 

[classwife]

Yech...15 years as a dental assistant....I can taste that stuff just thinking about it !!! (sorry....)

 

[Safira]

Thanks Class, I forgot about wintergreen, that's an idea.

Yes, when it comes to vaping and flavors, I feel like Robin Williams, or Jim Carry, I just always need something different. I can maybe go two days with a flavor and then I need something different.

Thanks ladies.

 

[classwife]

I am sorry Safira....eeeewww.....keep thinking about it....

Safira, In this forum you can ask anything you want! The only things that are taboo are too "R" rated jokes and comments and slamming any other member. ECF has it's own set of rules that we must follow..but if we just use my favorite rule "Play Nice!" we should be ok.

That mouthwash sounds like yuck! But I bet it's a good diet aide. Any time I have anything done to my teeth all I want is white food.. rice, rice pudding, mashed potatos and cottage cheese with jello (any color).

 

[Safira]

Thank you MK. I know I probably should have asked in DIY, but I just wanted to ask the girls here. I try to play nice, I keep my temper tantrums to the outside.

Now imagine your favorite mashed potatoes with really bad Listerine mouthwash, and rice and even bread. Most of the time with food I just don't care, but with my vape it's been starting to bug me.

thanks again ladies.

 

[classwife]

We are here for you ya know !

 

[Safira]

This really is the best group of ladies, thank you.

 

[CES]

oh safira, ick. I hope the stronger mints and orange oil work. if not, just vape whatever you like least. You might consider an additive that increases throat hit. that way, even if you can't taste the vapor you'll know you're getting something.

 

[rainkeltoia]

Safria you could try making something like a York peppermint patty, maybe the chocolate will come through for you? That sucks, I can't imagine! You have my sympathy darlin I'm sorry I don't have more to offer.

Ummm...eeewww! You poor thing! Now I'm really too scared to see the dentist! Not being able to taste your vape really sucks and I suppose this is now double for you. I hope you can get this fixed soon!

I think "temper tantrums" (venting) is fine, too. Just watch the language and don't bash anybody. We all get angry and frustrated once in a while. Venting is good for you.

 

[Mary Kay]

WOH isn't that the truth? We all need a good laugh, a little smpathy and a healthy rant to get thru the day. If not..hubby's, cashiers, Dr.'s and teachers would be dropping like flies!
I read somewhere a while back that women tend to live longer because we have girlfriend to share with. Men tend to keep it to themselves...except for those creepy guys who pretend to be sensitive,,think "Owen Wilson".

 

[wickdtruth]

Thanks for the heads up on what's in store for me in two weeks Safira. I go to the dentist for a deep gum cleaning then, I might want to stock up on some heavy minty stuff, or maybe I can vape the stuff that tastes like perfume.

 

[Seabrook]

I found a new strong flavor I like from Vaporrenu- mandarin orange. I don't usually buy anything except Capella's, but the Flavor West isn't bad. One good one from Capella's is Cool Mint - I even add that to a fruit flavor to wake up the flavor and make it sparkle - to 10ml of fruit flavored, I add 2 drops of Cool Mint. Another thing you could try is Koolada from The Perfumers Apprentice - it makes flavors taste cook and crispy, although I've never tried it - read it from reviews in the DIY subforum. Sorry you have to go thru this, Safira.

Oh Safira uck! So sorry. Not much to add but my sympaty I'm sorry.
