The first week of e-cigs has been grueling. Far from having a problem with wanting analogs, my biggest issue has been the damage they did to my sense of taste. At first all the flavours I bought - apart from one or two that saved my sanity - tasted like plastic, or like nothing at all, or like mentholated ....-juice. Here we are a week later and suddenly the subtle flavour of many of them is becoming enjoyable at last.
A couple of days ago I sat down to dinner and noticed that the fried tomatoes and onions that my brother had cooked were really good. Like awesomely good in fact. Then little by little I started getting taste from some of the Dekang juice mixes I had here that, only a few days ago, were pretty blah.
So I retried the 30ml bottles of Marlboro and Mint bought from another vendor and they too were OK now. Then I had a shot of some Black Sambuca mix that I made myself and found it far too strong.
What a weird and wonderful trip. One thing that has occurred to me is that the usual weight gain isn't likely to happen. With the great flavour of these juices, who needs to eat to excess?
