Recipes/etc for injured taste buds

[Rin13]

What do you vape when your taste buds are fried? There was a member here that suggests a straight EM solution (pretty much homemade cotton candy juice) when her's are acting up. (vapor's tongue I think it's called) Was wondering if other people have "go to" DIY recipes for those times where nothing tastes/vapes good. Or when you're sick and have no taste anyway.

I alternate sweet and bitter. My main vape is my diy strawberry peach but sometimes I make a sour apple or a bitter coffee.

Taste buds are only capable of sensing sweet, sour, bitter, & salty. The rest of the sense of taste comes from the sense of smell. Professionals like perfumers and others who depend on their sense of smell, use fresh ground coffee to reset their sense of smell.

I have a lot of allergy problems, especially this time of year in the South. So I have been taking Zyrtec daily for quite some time and have not had problems tasting my juice for quite some time. It's like when you have a bad cold and nothing tastes right.

I also keep a strong peppermint/menthol juice. That works well for me to reset my taste.

Like BlueSnake, I have a Wintergreen/Menthol as a go-to "Nothing Tastes Right" vape. Unfortunately after a day or two on that I end up with Menthol Mouth and all I can taste is the odd PG aftertaste. That's when I go back to Fruity, Sweet or Bitter

Very interesting. Thank you. I have yet to make a minty vape that I actually like. It's very odd because I love mint. I guess I just suck. lol

I used to vape fire&ice or redhots or clove anything really strong would do and drink lemon water

 

[michaelsil1]

A little mint to cleanse the palate.

 

[LucentShadow]

I'd just vape unflavored. Haven't had that problem since I lightened up my flavoring strengths, though.

 

[Red_Bird]

unflavored also.

 

[crxess]

Unflavored here also. a bit of soda to drink and some sharper tasting foods to wake things up.

 

[DPLongo22]

Lemonade for me. One carto full each day, usually after dinner. Keeps my buds nimble.

 

[Rin13]

I've tried to make a lemonade vape to no avail ;(

I have a recipe in the recipes only room called Asian Pear. It works as a palette cleanser for me, plus I like the taste. I was just going through there today looking at some recipes and noticed I put the recipe in drops. Oops. My droppers are 36 per ml so there really isn't a lot of flavoring in there at all. Then I noticed that Uno Mas put one in there with percentages. That would be super duper potent for me, but I like things on the more subtle side. I *think* the honeysuckle is key for the palette cleanser part of it.
To me it tastes like Asian pears, to my son it tastes like fruity/perfume-y shampoo so....?

Mt Baker Rasleberry for me and there candy fruit flavors

I had vapors tongue pretty bad a few months ago. Menthol for a few days cleared it up

This! I have a downright abusive tasting blueberry/vanilla/menthol flavor that I had MBV mix me during my first week or two of vaping (the menthol being overboard was due to my inexperience). Instead of throwing it out, it just so happens to be my "reset flavor."

 

[Rin13]

Yeah. I've learned the hard way not to throw things away. When I first started, I had no clue steeping could be so important and ended up either getting rid of (or losing because i move so much) a couple flavorings thinking that they were just horrid. Turns out, one of them for instance, was M-type tobacco which requires a pretty long steep time before it's vapable to most people. Had I known...
