I am just not able to taste any of the liquids I have tried. I have bottles from Tot. Wicked, vaperenu, from whom I even ordered the triple shot of flavor, and the flavor enhancer, and others. I go for the 18 to 36 mg strength, and order fruits and tobaccos.
Yesterday I got some orange LorAnn flavor and added it to my pineapple. It smells very strong, but, again, no taste. I read somewhere here about a member recommending some sweetener to add. Would that help? I wonder if I should try one more time to order a pre-mixed liquid that has more body, like a chocolate, nutty, cappucino, or other more heavy/creamy/sweet flavor. Is there another brand, type of flavoring I can add to my tasteless stuff I already have?
TG getting fed up with this, but desperate to make the switch. I have a tornado tank and love it otherwise. Please recommend away, as many brands of juice, flavorings, types of flavors, anything at all. I promise I will look into everything.:vapor:

At triple strength, this is a mystery. Perhaps your atty is at the low end of resistance, thus making it hotter than what is normal. Hot attys will increase vapor, but decrease flavor. I don't think flavor compounds are necessarily being destroyed, its that our mouths detect flavor less when the food/vapor is very hot. The tornado should be working at about 3.2V, which is not high voltage at all, in fact it is at the low end.

I personally would see how a cartomizer is on this PV. Boge Soft-tips are around 3.3 ohms, while a 510 atty can be as low as 2.2 ohms. I get terrific flavor with these cartos on my mega 510 batt and my 3.7V box mods. Fruits and/or tobaccos should come through loud and clear. And I think you will like the cartos, too.

If anyone else has thoughts on this, please jump in.

This is just a guess, but with all that flavoring it seems like the thickness of you juice is slowing the wicking process for the tank. Plus you might not have blown out the primer from the atty and that is "clouding" your taste buds..

I would recommend for you, is try a lighter flavored juice PG based. at least for a couple of fills.
Then when you move to a "heavier" flavored juice let the tank sit in the atty for a little and give it time to fully wick.

No don't add any kind of 'sweetener' it will cause your atty to gunk up much quicker.

Good Luck
