Question of Taste

[Jeseryn]

Hi I've been vaping almost a month now. I have TONS of flavors.

I blow out my atomizer between flavors and recently bought a buzz (upgrade from ego).

My question is this:

Is it normal for all flavors to taste almost the same (which actually a gross almost sour taste).

I feel like my tastebuds croaked or something. Very weird. I'm not sure if it's a normal thing that your taste buds go south a few days or I'm doing something wrong. I have tried a completely new/clean atty and same thing.

The same thing happened to me. I started vaping in August. A few weeks in, all of a sudden everything had no taste. I thought cinnamon had killed my taste buds. I went back to the plain old menthol I bought with my first kit, and waited a few days before trying again. I don't know if it was that the flavored juices had time to sit and age, or the break from cinnamon, but now when I grab a flavor that I haven't tried in a while, I can taste even subtle hints of flavors.

I'll switch to menthol for a day every couple weeks. It seems pretty common.

The infamous flavor drop...its happens to the best of us, last a few days, but subsides...just switch up a flavor you can deal with for the downtime

Thank you so much guys! I was worried. Everything seriously tastes ick. At least I have something to look forward too. lol

I think I hit my flavor wall last week as well...and it hurt. Was over-flavoring my juices to the point of toxic. I'm back on pure menthol and a menthol/mint blend for a while.

i got a serious hate on against that flavor wall!

Im pretty convinced its just the final stage of kicking the tar outta your mouth for good, as well as the stored up chemicals all over ur tongue and throat..it always seems to happen after the lungs kick the tar, a couple weeks in and subsides after a few days..with only variences being those that smoked for 40 yrs vs. 20....its just part of the journey.

Think on every thing you eat, drink, vape. After a few uses, your mouth/nose get use to it and it loses it's hit. Switch to something new and it comes thru again. So, you are setting there using the same juice for a couple of hours, the unique hit for that juice will fade into the back ground. It's the way our senses work. Sooo change juices every so often to keep them resetting with new flavors - if you don't, I'm going to hit you with that burn atty draw...and you will Have to reload...

Been off cigarettes for months after 16 years of smoking. Have gone through a couple "get off my favorite [insert fruit flavored juice here]" cycles already. This last time I think I held on too long and probably made all my juices super concentrates...LOL.

Bummer that it happens, but good to know I'm not the only one - I thought cinnamon had killed my taste for the other flavors but it just seems to come and go (2 months in) at random.

Ya. Cinnamon is dangerous stuff. Tasty tasty danger.

Cinnamon will kill my taste buds for a few hours.

Sometimes, when this happens to me or when I can't get throat hits (which happened almost every day for a few days back a couple of weeks ago -- and it took a couple of hours before I could get THs again), I'll set the PV down for a few minutes, and then the flavor is better when I pick it up again. Sometimes, we need to rest our taste buds and throat.

It will happen a few times the first is the worst just fight through all the cardboard tasting juice.
The good tastes will come
