New/Old~Old/New Taste Buds

[Kellyinbr]

Well I have been away for some time but now I am back..3 days back on the PV and this go around has been different. My taste buds are out of whack. I can not taste flavors at all as they are supposed to be. What I can taste is 2 things ~ .... juice and not so much .... juice~ Someone please refresh my memory, how long till my sense of taste comes back?

*I got my Wow Waffle today and thank goodness it is one of the very few that are the not so much .... flavors* But most everything else I have on hand isn't vapeable(at this time).

If you like menthol at all, give it a go with menthol flavors. At least until your taste buds recover.

Don't forget to give all the bottles a good shake! They have been sitting a while and may have settled. Pick one flavor and vape it for a long while. Don't pick a complex flavor like cherry vanilla chocolate cream poptart! You won't be able to taste it. at least not most of it. One flavor like a tobacco flavor or a fruit..maybe vanilla or a menthol like smilin.
Good luck!

Well mint is out, as I don't have any but the waffle is tolerable. I just thought about the hard candies...I had to suck on them all the time when I first started vaping last time, so I will be getting candy tomorrow to help out some. I just dont remember it being this difficult the first time around

I've had the same problem and you might want to try a square or two off of a plain milk chocolate bar (not dark, no nuts). I dunno why, but my tastebuds always reset after that.

ok, gonna go barter with the kids for a piece of chocolate, lol

 

[Kellyinbr]

Well I couldn't find chocolate but I was able to find a bubble gum candy cane , it did help to improve the flavor ...I will pick up some candies and chocolate tomorrow, I'm not giving up though

Since tastebuds can only taste 5 things and 5 things only, ie salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami, it's actually your nose that tastes flavors. Scent acclimation (like how farmers don't even smell manure when they are surrounded by it) has a bit to do with how your perceive your juice. Sometimes all it takes is a hit of an unrelated strong, even undesirable, scent to reset your sense of smell. Sometimes it's your environmental humidity or lack there of. Dry air causes more mucous to be produced to protect nasal membranes, thereby dulling your sense of smell, the same effect as an allergy or cold. People who use a Neti pot to perform a nasal lavage (a simple flush with saline and baking soda) say that food tastes better and more accurately. the same could be said about vaping.

When my juices get more subdued I may use my neti pot or put a litle Vick's vapor rub in a tissue and inhale deeply. Then My beloved Hypnotic Mist tastes good again, and not like dead flowers in a moldy vase. So please people, your taste buds have nothing to do with tasting flavors, it's your nose that tastes your juices.
