Newbie - juice seems flavourless now

[juskiddin]

Hello all,
I purchased my first e-cig about a month ago - an eGo one (I now have 2). As a cigarette smoker I was looking to rid myself of the stinkers. Happy to say I haven't had a cigarette for 3 days, only using my eGo ones.

I started out slow, using my eGo one occasionally, until I had no cigarettes left. I began with tobacco flavour and bought vanilla tobacco flavour about a week ago. The staff member at the local vape store changed the coil for me (I was nervous) and added the new flavour. Loved it!!! That is until today. I'd mixed the tobacco flavour with tge vanilla flavour. Now I can hardly taste it Admittedly I've been vaping quite a bit the past week. Think I need to change the coil? If so, how exactly do I do that?
Sorry for asking. It's all so new to me.
I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer. Thanks!

Unscrew the old coil then screw in a new coil. Add some juice to the cotton in the new coil.
Hope this is right , don't have one of them but thinking its the same as many others.

If the vapor quality hasn't diminished the coil might still be fine. More likely is you're getting a bit of "vaper's tongue" meaning that your taste buds are getting fatigued. Make sure you drink lots of water, brush your tongue with a toothbrush, and if possible, switch up the flavors occasionally so you're not hitting the same flavor notes all the time. It usually passes in a few days to a week.

Hi and welcome!

It might not be your rig, it might be your taste buds. Unfortunately, changes in ones ability to taste flavors can be wonky for awhile. There are several articles on the internet under "Vaper's Tongue," but I think this one was the first:

Taste Buds and Vapers Tongue

It does sound like vapor's tongue, and I personally get it very quickly. I pretty much need to change flavours every day.

I have 3 tanks with different flavors so i dont get vapers tounge. Maybe pick up a extra tank so it doesnt happen, just a suggestion also drink lots of water

Hi and welcome to the forum. Congratulations on giving up the smokes, good choice you made.

+1 on vapor's tongue. Happens to everyone at some point. Drink water, change flavors and it will pass. I find higher PG ratio juices do this to me quicker.

Hi and welcome to ECF. Congrats on 3 days stinky free. What they said about vapors tongue.

 

[Bunnykiller]

either your coil is getting gunked up and/or your going into flavor saturation ( vapers tounge). When a body is constantly experiencing the same flavor or smell the body shuts down the receptors to that source. thus the loss of taste/smell. Ever wonder why people who work with unpleasant smelling items can still work around them? they dont smell them any more....

I wondered about vapor's tongue...the quality of the vapour hasn't diminished but coil looks a bit gunked up. Will switch coil just in case. I like the idea of having a different flavour in each "rig" [I'm learning ] so will try that as well. Drinking lots of water is something I'll also try.

Thank you The Ocelot for the link.

Thanks so much one and all! The speedy responses are much appreciated! I think I'm going to like it "here".

Cheers.
