I can't drink pop anymore since i started vaping. I find this a really good thing.

I've been told that we have 4 basic taste and they are: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. I've also learned that our sense of taste is not only harmed by smoking, but age as well. So while we, as former smokers will regain most of our sense of taste, we'll never be able to taste as much as before we smoked, for the simple reason that we naturally lose some of our ability to taste naturally. Interesting stuff!

(Further trivia: pregnant women's sense of smell and taste are heightened to protect the baby from food poisoning. A pregnant woman can smell when food has turned bad, no matter how slightly it is!)

When my tastes up and changed without any warning all the flavors were way too strong. I headed right up to the local hobby store, cake decorating section, and got some Wilton's glycerin to vape straight with no flavor at all..... then I used it to cut all the flavors I had liked up to that point.... didn't even give the nicotine content a thought at the time I was just looking for something that didn't taste too strong. That was a few months in, since then it has settled down. But it was definitely a big suprise when it hit.

For whatever reason, smoking didn't seem to effect my sense of taste and my tastebuds haven't changed. However, my husband is constantly asking me to test that his carts have liquid in because he cannot taste them (even clove). He was a heavier smoker than I (pack a day).

Am glad to hear it's a phase.

I got some new juices in on Friday, doing the happy dance until I tried them. Almost no taste except for the spearmint. So I went back to my old sweet fruity juices and I could barely taste them either!!! WTF??? Yesterday I noticed that I could taste the fruits again so I tried one of the new ones and it tasted like vomit. Bleeech!! I tried a second one and it didn't taste too bad so I vaped that all night. As the night went on, it tasted better and better. This morning I tried the vomit again and it tastes great!! So, yeah, your tastes will cartwheel. Likely I had a bit of a cold or a sinus problem.

Every vape that I thought I liked tasted gross, and as a menthol smoker I found that I actually am a fan of tobacco juices..weird
