Yep, it is so hot here too and I haven't done anything outside since I got back from KC and my mother's funeral....staying up too late...just feel blah. Allergies kicking my ..... yada yada yada. Really hoping the Graham Cracker and Maraschino Cherry I get tomorrow will bump up a few of my flavors to a new zone. I'm having a hard time loving anything right now. That is a dangerous place to be for sure. Really glad there are no cigs in my freezer. Yes, I will take some cheese with my WHINE!! or call me a whaaaaambulance!! :yawn:


Right! I know that's part of my problem, too. Just a general feeling of malaise. It is likely largely due to the fact that it is SO hot outside. I'm having terrible insomnia as well, so yeah....just feel off kilter. Bilbo described it best: "I feel thin. Sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread." (What a genius Tolkien was.....but I digress.....)

/o summertime.. and the taste buds are lazy /o

all y'all that have this taste bud malaise going on.. get over hydrated.. seriously.. your tongues are probably a little dry.. if you look in the mirror at your tongues.. any white or wrinklyness
(yeah.. firefox loves that spelling right there)
means you have some dehydration going on. Fill up those water bottles or better yet, get a glass with a straw. For some reason we seem to be able to get more in us through a straw (no teeth or brain freeze maybe)

ya ever notice if you've got a bit of a hangover, your juice tastes flat? TADA.. shrively tongue

This too shall pass...and the juice WILL taste good again! Stay strong everyone...NO STINKIES!!!:blush:

Sounds like we're in the same boat. I started the season by planting a huge garden. We had a pretty mild spring and early summer and I spent most of it outside in the dirt. Now I'm trapped inside by the insufferable heat and going a bit crazy. Maybe a short walk in the evenings after the temps have cooled would do us both a world of good. Leave the PV at home and just breathe some outside air for a bit.


Edited to add: The point about hydration is a very good one. Definitely something to take into consideration.

hmmmm....I do not detect any wrinklyness in my tongue....but I guess soda doesn't really count for hydration purposes, huh?
:p

I don't have any advice, but I wanted to let you know that I feel your pain. I have a couple dozen juices, and they all either taste flat, or plain gross (and this includes stuff I couldn't get enough of last week). I'm getting by on Cinnamon Roll - which is just ok right now - a coconut/whipped cream mix, and Spearmint. But I'm not ENJOYING any of it.

I hope this passes quickly. I cannot afford to start over with new juices, OMG.

About 2 weeks in to vaping I was so in love with banana cream pie and strawberry shortcake that I vaped them exclusively for a week. One day I woke up, grabbed my mod and took a good morning hit...nothing. Plenty of vapor but absolutely no taste. Confused I reached for a tank of BCP....Nothing...Panic NOOOOOOO!!!!!! I grab the Hawk Sauce..Phew flavor-tried some other non bakery flavors all was well. Since then I make sure I don't vape the same flavor profile for more than a day. Luckily MBV makes so many damn fine flavors that I can do that. The last 2 days I broke my rule and crushed 10ml of Cinnamon roll but I just pulled my DIY Razzleberry out of the UC bath it had been in for the last 6 hours and it is yummy delicious. So with the exception of a flavor that I am just head over heals for I will rotate bakery-fruit-bakery-fruit just to avoid the crash.

BTW I had ordered the grape juice from MBV on my first orfer at a nic level that was just way to high for me to enjoy but it tasted pretty good from what I remembered, the other day I ordered the DIY flavor and made up a batch and it tastes just like Hi-C Grape-nothing like the batch that they had made but OMG is it fantastic. Totally reminds me of being a kid and making home made ice pops.

Twas Brilling is the one I've had in my cart three different times before I screwed around too long and they closed (My own indecision and fault, not theirs. lol) From the description, I REALLY think I'd love it.

Are you the one who left the review about it? It sounds very much like what you said here. ;)



Ooooh, awesome! I wondered if there were any B&Ms relatively close that I could grab it from. Houston is a bit of a drive, but if I try and like AiV juice, I'd definitely be willing to do it. Are you aware of any in the Dallas/Ft Worth area that carry it?

I only leave my :2c: here. Here is a link to the
B&M's that carry their stuff.

:p

soda? *gasp* ~~quivver~~ want ~~ nooooooooooooo

recovering diet coke addict here
I pretty much gave up soda along with the smokes.. except for the occasional tonic water.. quinine makes leg cramps let go in under 20 minutes most of the time.. tonic water = medicine (and tastes like it most of the time too)

it's pretty good for wiping off the taste buds too
 
Crazy, huh? Hawk Sauce was like the nectar of the gods a mere week ago. :( And I loved pretty much everything else I had as well. Then BAM....minor sinus aggravation and nothing is making me excited about vaping anymore. And I can totally relate! I am out of work at the moment, so my disposable income is greatly reduced. I have to choose carefully, and pretty much every purchase is a gamble.

*sigh* Here's hoping we're both suffering some temporary thing and we'll fall back in love with what we have.

Guys. Cinnamon Red Hot (+2) HAS NO FLAVOR.

It still feels like a big monkey just punched you in the throat, though.

I'm starting to think I just have vaper's tongue.

I have tried coconut cream. Out of the box it tasted very chemical. Two weeks later, still slightly chemical and also very lacking in flavor. I think it's my least favorite MBV juice :( It's in the long term steeping cupboard for one last chance before it's dumped. Can't win em all I guess.

I went through this exact same tongue thing about two weeks ago! I could taste my juice, but it tasted WEIRD. Sour, off, funny. It was really frustrating! Eating a dill pickle would actually help for awhile, but then I'd be back to it again. It did finally pass, thank goodness, but what a bummer it was! It would also kind of come and go through the day. Hope yours GOES very soon!

You gotta of you cant taste red hot you better commence to drinking water by the gallon, sandblast your tongue, listerine the heck out of your mouth.

I swear i'm not being snarky I just know the fear I had when it happened to me.

pretty sure I'm not detoxing as I'm into my 4th month off stinkies. been there done that.

probably not-- the sodium exacerbates dehydration I believe.

Have you all tried vaping unflavored pg/vg for a little bit? I'd be curious if any of you are detoxing. Scrape your tongue off with a tongue scraper or a plastic spoon a few times and then try?
