My Taste Buds Suxors!!

[SteveI]

I am so PO'd.
It has been over 2 months since I have had a cigarette, and my tastebuds are still wacko.

Now, with any juice I try, the taste changes rather significantly with each clearo I use, CE3, x2 clearo, T3. Regardless of flavor, the CE3 is best, and T3 is worst. What I have been drinking, or eaten recently also has a more significant effect.

At this rate, I may get my taste buds back to normal in about 2 or 3 years.

I figure since I am vaping to more or less quit smoking that the taste, while I like it to be good, isn't the most important factor. On the other hand, I have had one flavor of juice that so turned me off, I'll never vape it again.

My tastebuds are seriously whacko too. Oh well, life is still good

 

[SteveI]

Yeah... I agree.

I'm just annoyed with flavors in general. I've tried 30-40 flavors from 5 or 6 vendors already. Only a few were terrible. Unfortunately, only a couple were good enough that I would order again. Now that's even questionable depending on my HW.

Sampling has been fun... I've gotten into the habit of rotating 5-6 flavors at once.... Maybe for me that's the best way.

 

[Renolizzie]

I can't stick to one flavor and usually have 4-6 going at any one time.

While I agree that the CE3s provide the most over all satisfying vape, I was really turned off by their total unpredictability especially with the last 2 boxes I got. I did not care for the T3 when I first got them, but since glueing 2 of of the 3 holes shut I really like them and are my new choice.

So far as taste, I also am at 2 1/2 months and I am all over the place. I am finding myself mixing all kinds of my juices just for something different. I am even doing about half menthol throughout the day and I never smoked menthol. I have even dabbled in some of the fruit flavors.

I have 8 flavors that I keep 30ml bottles of; and usually a flavor or 3 that I don't order as often, and only 10-15ml at the time. I have no less than two different flavors going at any one time, usually 3. I use 3-5ml's a day, and rarely more that 1.2 ml of any one flavor in that day.
I can always taste the difference in my flavors, and it doesn't cost any more to do it this way. I use the same amount of liquid.
Which reminds me; I actually have something to put on the trading thread.

Yeah, those taste buds are ornery little buggers. I was at war with mine for about 3 months. We have come to an understanding...at least for now...but I still don't trust them.

I think rotating flavors is the best way to go. Just doing one flavor all day every day will deaden your tastebuds to that flavor, maybe even turn you against it. Keep a variety of maybe two or three available in one day, then choose a different variety for the next day.

I love eating bacon, but it would not be the only thing I would eat for the entire day or every day. Love chocolate, but wouldn't eat it all the time, only occasionally.

Choosing flavors and sampling the variety from different vendors is the great thing about vaping. Your tastebuds are trying to let you know they are tired of the same thing all the time. Shake them up so they don't know what to expect. I was in the same boat as you with the tastebud thing. Mine was with menthol. When I started, that was the only flavor I had because I was a menthol smoker. I did it so much that the menthol stayed in my mouth even at night after I brushed and used mouthrinse. I stopped using menthol for a while and now I can enjoy it... but occasionally.

Don't give up and become discouraged. Keep the flavors that you don't like right now because later on you may find that they are not bad after all.

i have been vaping 7 months now,,but my taste buds are shot also,,my favorite candy has always been m&m's,but i can't taste them either.

yesterday i was vaping plain pg,no nic or flavoring and i could not tell the difference from my ry4..i some times think my taste buds are getting worse rather then better.

only once in a while can i taste caramel or vanilla in my ry4,,its so frustrating .

Absolutely... I definitely enjoy variety, and trying new stuff. I'm pretty stocked for the next few months, just in sample bottles, lol. When my supply runs low, I'm definitely gonna try DIY... I did the math, and the savings is remarkable, and I think having flexibility to tweak flavors will help.

BTW, Don't misunderstand my griping as a bad thing... I'm a cynic. I need to complain to prove I'm still alive.

I've found that i can't stick with one flavor exclusively. I loved Mint Chocolate Chip when i first got it, and now no matter what i vape it out of, it taste like burnt trash =/ I hope that stops.

Although, if i vape two other flavors first, i can get 2-3 decent hits of mint choco goodness.

Then again, I'm only 16 days in, and i dont know the standard on flavor returning.

The only flavor I've been able to vape constantly is strawberry, even the ry4 starts to kick my throat if i vape on it too long.

My wife hates going out with me in public now because of it, in my pcc, i keep an ry4 carto, and my nano filled with strawberry, and one battery, and i switch back and forth between them while she shops. She says it makes me look creepy when I'm switching while she's looking around victoria secret haha.
