No flavor ! Back to smoking DANGER !

[blight231]

I just got another few packs of carts from V4L , I have a wide variety of MG of nic flavors, wow, prem, vg the works. Well I vaped off one this morning and there was some throat hit and vapor but absolutely no flavor. I thought " oh its just a dud or its run out " so i tried a fresh one. SAME THING ! So then I tried some old ones ive been using SAME THING ! Its like my taste buds just turned off and everything seems very bland. Whats going on ?! Has anybody else experienced this ?

blight,
I'm actually going through this now. I've heard of others that this happened to. I never smoked for the taste; so last night I mixed up some unflavored juice and am going to try that for a few days, then go back to my flavors.

But you've come this far, keep vaping, I am.

 

[blight231]

Thanks for the encouragement. So strange , hopefully it will pass Ive actually dumped more cash into vaping then smoking. Hopefully once I start refilling it will be cheaper. Regardless in the end smoking would cost me more .... my life.

I got an order recently from V4L and the cartos are very flavorful and delicious, so I'm guessing that you're going through a period where your taste buds are in recovery. That has happened to me a couple of times over the past 18 months. It will pass in a day or two. Hang in there!

yeah it happens. Especially if you drink hot liquids or alcohol. Try some cold water. And blow your nose. Remember to smell the vapor. A huge part of the flavor is in the aroma. That's why being in wind or having a fan blowing can mess up the flavor too. Your tongue can only taste sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami (MSG). So a cherry eliquid will have some hopefully appropriate amount of sweet and sour on your tongue but it won't be cherry if you can't smell it. Food it the same way but food benefits from the look and feel too.

I vape a pair of flavors, one sweet (sweet vanillas like Backwoods Brew Vanilla Bean and Tasty Vapor Butter Cream) and one very non-sweet (Vapor4Life WOWbacco - like dark dark cocoa). I alternate vaping those and each helps refresh the other's flavor.

If you are vaping tobaccos, try some FreedomSmokeUSA DesertShip (70pg/30vg or 80pg/20vg) in a blank V4L carto. DesertShip has a strong smell (too strong for me to vape in the car or office). It is nutty and a bit pungent and reminds me and others of the smell of a freshly opened pack of cigs. And the WOWbacco is my current love. I swear that stuff has some TH even at 4mg in a standard res carto on a slim 510. I could not even inhale it at 18mg in a WOW cart which was why I started vaping it on the 510 instead. Something else I would do with tobacco vapes it stick some FreedomSmokeUSA Cocoa in the carto - that is pretty strong tasting stuff too. Most cigs have cocoa in them and I love coca in tobacco juices.

Something else that helped my taste buds - just changing up the flavor. I would often carry a tobacco flavor and two flavor changers - two of the following 3: vanilla, oRYental 4 (a sweet caramelly tobacco), and either chocolate or cocoa (cocoa if it was a sweet tobacco, chocolate if it was not, like DesertShip is not sweet). If the flavor gets boring, then mess with the flavor.

Yep. Been there. Know that in a few days, the flavor will come back. You can also try rinsing your mouth with a little salt water. And try a fully charged battery.

Drinking V-8 helped when I went through losing flavor in vaping. it didn't last long, about half a week I couldn't taste vapor.

Haven't had it happen since my first few months, but I've experienced it too. When it happened I was always chain vaping like crazy for a few days prior. It will pass. In the meantime, give yourself a bit of a break and ease up on your vaping frequency.

This happens to many people. One reason is your taste buds recovering, but it can also happen due to a cold. One thing that helped me is having a stronger flavor around. For me, peppermint has worked very well. It might be worthwhile to look into stronger flavors in case this happens in the future.

Sorry I don't have any suggestions for right now, aside from what has already been said. Hang in there, things will straighten themselves out!

I second the mint. Get your favorite mint flavor, the one you choose when chewing gum or candy. They are usually strong enough and familiar enough that you can always taste them. Also exhale slowly through your nose, it helps you "taste" the flavor.

Hey Blight,
I've been there too, if you're anything like most vapers, you have a hard time putting down the e-cig too. Try putting it down for an hour, and then vaping, you'd be surprised you can taste again, but everyone goes through it, because of our sense of taste and smell are undergoing changes so there will be times when you can't taste, don't worry though, things can only get better, you can only get healthier!!

I've had plenty of those "no flavor" days in the past year. I find a good strong mouth wash and brushing your teeth helps.

Water. Switch flavors often. And try rinsing your mouth on occasion with saltwater. Not sure why on the last one, but I can attest to its effectiveness.
