Have been vaping for over 3 weeks tried different liquids. Really enjoy Elixer liquid ry4 but all of a sudden I've lost all taste of liquids can still taste food etc but as I go to vape I get a tasteless liquid tried changing cartos liquid attys but nothing works. Am using a joy ego and had not had any vaping problems. Some one please help.

Try fruit and coffee liquids. I also thought i MUST have tobacco fluids, and also "lost" their taste.
Kiwi, Cherry and Capucino solved the problem.

I agree with both the previous posters water helps a ton I let myself get too dry sometimes and I cannot taste even my fav Mrs. T's juices and believe me when I say that should never happen. I for one stick to fruits and vanillas myself they seem to be more potent than the tobacco and or coffee or other flavors I have tried (I hate coffee dont ask me why I bothered but hey anything is worth one shot and it was a sampler cart not a pack of them.)
I found that switching systems or at least different cartos helps. If I stick with the same battery/carto too long I can't hardly taste it after a while. I have about four different combinations and flavors going at once.
either that or a good tooth/tongue brushing sometimes helps.

Are you using cartomizers = cartos where each flavor is separate, or atomizer + cart?
Are you smelling the vapor? Your tongue can only taste sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami (MSG). Did you buy any juices that should have any of those flavors? For example, a cherry ejuice should taste a bit sweet and sour and smell like cherry (food works the same way, as do cigarettes but cigs dump their smell all over you so you don't have to remember to smell the smoke)
Are you buying decent juices?
Are you buying juices with plenty of PG so the flavor and TH comes through, or high VG juices (VG dulls flavor and TH)?
Are you using a decent ecig or something under 100mm?
Are you drinking plenty of fluids to stay hydrated? Cold water can help refresh your palate.

Some things that cause reduced flavor and aroma - not cleaning your atomizers or replacing cartomizers often enough, wind or fan blowing the vapor away before you can smell it, not remembering to smell it, stuffed nose, sore tongue from using medium or high nic in 100% PG (I recommend high PG blends like 80PG/20VG), alcohol, drinking hot liquids, having food or drink tastes in your mouth or other aromas in the air, vaping the same flavor over and over

i have been drinking plenty of fluids while vaping. But i cant taste anything even try the cinnamint and no taste on that one i have not vaped all day and have been drinking plenty. tried again right now and nothing no taste flavorless.
3 weeks, that's about right, probably your taste buds. Our senses acclimate to something with constant exposure, like garlic smell, lighting levels. Mix flavors, water and give it time to recover.
I didn't even think about that one. It makes sense now that I think about it. I haven't had this issue since I am still on the quest for my holy grail of flavors. (I hope that this isn't a futile quest for the reason above.)
Txbull17 you might want someone else to try your rig to see if they taste anything. I suspect they will taste it just fine. If they don't taste anything then it is most likely a hardware problem.
the only plus to this is that im actually ok not vaping and dont have a need for an analog which is a plus for me after 12 yrs of smoking.
I see this on the forum all the time, get it myself, nature's way of keeping us from having too much fun...preeeeeecious.
When you say you can't taste it - that is taste or smell or both?
And are you using an atomizer, and if so, when did you last clean it.
(and BTW many use a separate atty for cinnamon flavors since the flavor is hard to get out of an atty)

i am using an joye ego with boge 2.0 lr cartos, ordered 30 from ccv. I am also using a t rex which i got from e nic juice. each carto is filled with different liquid all liquids are 18 mg.. liquids include halo tribeca,torque 56,menthol ice, freedom juice, ikenvape ry4,enicjuice ry4, elixir liquid ry4, want to vape cinnamint campfire coffee, bacco nilla, strawberry bobas bounty. bwb ry4.the only time i use my atty is to sample a juice and no cinna mint went into it. ive tried everything liquids, toothbrush,did not vape yesterday afternoon since it started. today i tried again with new cartos i can smell the vapor flavor but cannot taste it.
Does frequent switching up of flavors reduce the risk of losing tastebuds? Cuz I vape like 10 flavors a day. lol but i'm still a newb. 10 days. my mouth feels different already tho. my tongue is sort of cotton y
ooh yeah and ginger is supposed to be a palate cleanser. maybe you could try half a teaspoon and some water and swish it and swallow?
The number of flavors does not help. There is only much the little buds can handle.
I dont switch flavors often ive been stuck on elixir ry4, and bwb ry4 its just feels awkward that i cant taste but i can smell the vapor just fine. and all my foods i taste.
I vape 2 contrasting flavors - a very sweet vanilla and a cocoa tobacco and each refreshes my tastebuds for the other.
Elixir - 70PG/30VG? I used to use that ratio in cartos but it degraded them too quickly (loss of flavor and hit). It also doesn't wick as quickly as juices with less VG. If you singe your cartos. that adds a bitter taste and then yes, everything will taste the same. If you overfill your cartos, that will also make the flavor and hit not as good as possible - it will be like a flooded atty for a while.

How I fill Vapor4Life KR8 cartos and Boge 510 cartos
Pop out the soft cap with an unbent paperclip in the mouth hole, very careful not to catch stuffing or the wire loop.
Shake and open the eliquid
Hold a bit of tissue on the threaded end hole, tilt the carto, and add 18 drops per ml of capacity into the stuffing (Boges and most KR8 cartos are about 1ml).
Wait 15 seconds or so then see how many more drops the carto stuffing will soak in easily.
Clean up the threaded end, tilt open end down into tissue, puff into threaded end to clear air channel (Boges and the KR8 cartos I use have a defined center air channel and I want to see light through that)
Sop up any loose juice above the stuffing
Cap and let it settle - I lay it on different sides for 15-20 minutes to make sure every bit of stuffing gets damp so I won't singe the carto. if you use thicker juice than me (I use 20% Vg or less) then you may need to wait much longer.
While vaping, if the vapor gets a bit light or a bit dry or the carto is getting hotter than normal, I take the carto off the battery and add eliquid. I sometimes use a plastic or delrin drip tip as a mouthpiece on Boge and KR8 cartos (not to drip into since the juice would head for the central air channel)

Had to laugh (although it is NOT FUNNY when it is happening to you)...Looked back at my posts and found the one I wrote at about three weeks regarding the sudden lack of flavor - how everything suddenly tasted like watery mist.
Wait it out, your taste will come back I promise. I vape a tongue numbing Peppermint now most of the time, alternating with madvapes Black licorice as Dormouse suggests works good. Good luck!

I've found that switching between two vendors' juices helps a bunch with the flavor loss. Probably just differences in their formulas.
Also - anything with cinnamon oil kills my "sweet" taste buds in a hurry, but it kills them for everything - not just e-juice.
