I started off with the Blu ecig....until I found this place and started reading. I now have the Joye eGo...and I'm soo much happier with the battery life and vape! NOW! For my next problem....I can't taste anything! While it's true that I have been smoking analog cigarettes off and on for about the past 6 months, I've been more off than on. Shouldn't I taste SOMETHING?? I'm jealous of all you guys out there just loven your flavors! lol! And I really feel like if I could start tasting flavors, I'd DEFINATELY quit with the analog all together! I've tried premixed flavors from a couple of companies with no success...so I've ordered some USP glycerin and some flavorings (Loranne) to attempt to make my own...stronger flavored!! Any other suggestions about how to make things have some type of flavor would be great! I've read soo many posts here that I'm gettin alittle confused!! lol! So was hoping I could get you all to post in one spot! lol! What should I do to enhance flavor??? Thank you so much!!

The eGo battery is a 3.4v device. Try some Boge 2.0 cartomizers and see if you don't get flavor. A juice with a high PG content will produce more flavor than a VG juice, BTW.

The VG hint was that you bought some USP glycerine. That's VG and will produce clouds of vapor, but weaker taste. Try mixing using USP propylene glycol and VG at a 70pg/30vg mix.

Thanks Dave! That's music to my ears! lol! I've just ordered some PG. I read somewhere from Hoosier that you can buy it at the Co-Op....which leaves me wondering where in Indiana he lives!? For all I know he's a neighbor of mine! lol! I can't wait to try making my own. I'm going to try that and see how it does, if I'm still having problems, I'll try changing over to the cartomizer. Thanks!!

it's not unusual to lose your taste (or not have it at all). first and I think most important is drink LOTS of water. I have been vaping almost a year and recently couldn't taste my liquids or they tasted yuky. changed attys...no improvement, finally I remembered my own advice and started drinking water again. now I can taste again.

also, up until the last few months the only liquid I liked was menthol. now I am finally starting to like other (mostly fruit) flavors.

I also like to vape unflavored. it's mild, some people think it tastes a little sweet, but there is nothing offensive about it.

drink more water is the easiest and cheapest thing to do so try that first

If your going to just mix PG and VG together and add some flavoring, that juice isnt going to have nicotine in it. If you dont want nicotine then thats fine, but if you do, thats not going to work

 

[Kay1959]

Yeah...I know. I'm not wanting any nicotine in it. I'm trying to get off the nicotine. If I start having a nico fit I chew a piece of nico gum8-o

I personally use an eGo battery with the GotVapes Fluxomizers and its fantastic for flavor. You can remove the middle seal for more dense vape, and with the 2.4-2.6 ohm versions I'm tasting my menthol juice better than I ever did with a carto. I personally don't trust cartos / attys anyway because of a burning lung sensation I got when I first started vaping. But thats besides the fact.. Also with the Fluxomizers, the atty sits on the top, so you can tilt your PV upward just a bit while you drag so the wick/atty is saturated with juice. I get my most flavorful hits this way, and the new revision Fluxos don't leak at all..

The Co-Op in Flora should have it or be able to get PG.

You may want to clear your sinuses out. I had to soon after I started because they stopped my ability to taste the vapor.

We may be neighbors Kay1959. I spend some time in the Kokomo area.
