So I noticed that after a few puffs I get somehow used to the taste of the juice and I don't feel the flavor anymore. So I wanted to know if someone uses some method to reset your taste buds like drinking or eating something. It also happens with throat hit, it gets lost after some puffs.

I usually drink cola or water cause vaping usually makes my mouth dry.

wish i knew the answer to this as well eh?

eta, i make candles, and the method i use for the smell test is coffee grounds..

I use so many scented oils, that sniffing 1 oil behind another, well, i loose smell lol

so between scents i take a sniff of coffee grounds, this resets my smell, and then i can smell the next scented oil etc lol

i wonder if drinking coffee would reset our taste? im going to have to try...:|

I wanted to know if someone uses some method to reset your taste buds like drinking or eating something.

I have experienced this as well, and looked around the web for some advice.

As you might imagine, the search term "Cleansing the palate" returned mostly information for wine tasters. Sadly I found no panacea or magic food/drink to adequately cleanse for vaping, but for wine it seems the "cleansers" of choice are simple: Plain water and white bread.

I thought I would find that Cheese would be a cleanser of choice, but apparently there is a saying amongst wine connoisseurs:

"Sell with cheese, buy with bread (or fruit)". suggesting that when you're trying to sell wine, you want to make it taste as good as possible; whereas it's in the buyer's interest to examine the wine as objectively as possible.

Here is a link to the article I read: 30 Second Wine Advisor - wineloverspage.com

I tend to drink alot of coffee and have noticed the flavor of my liquid tends to more consistant then if I drink tea or water.


aye, im telling u, in candle making we often would sniff coffee grinds to ajust our noses so we could smell the next scent proper lol

Im drinking fresh ground kona coffee right now, and so far i have a pretty consistant taste of my black cherry 24 mg ejuice..

tho, i cant say that will work for everyone as i think we all have differ taste buds lol

but it seems to help me

imawitch, I think you're onto something there for sure. I always drink coffee while vaping and its a great combo anyway! I think coffee is very palate richening(if thats a word) when it comes to savoring a good vape and keeping the flavors popping. Thanks for noticing and confirming this. Actually if you think about it I think tasting good vapor is as much about smelling it as tasting it so it might make more sense to cleanse the olfactories rather than just the palate...
bb on u and yours

I've found I'm getting the old coffee and cigarette urge with coffee and vaping. Taking a vape after a drink of coffee tastes twice as good as a vape alone. Yum!

I've also found many foods can be "re-tasted" if you vape after eating them. For instance, I tasted cherry pie and crust for several vapes after eating a slice this past Thanksgiving.

Same with pizza.

Clove does the trick for me. I favorite vape is Coffee Liquid in my RN4072 Penstyle. And I have learned that vaping Coffee while drinking Coffee doesn't work. So for beverages, I stick to Diet Coke and water.

And when my Coffee Liquid starts to lose its flavor ... I take a few puffs on my KR8 with a Clove cart ... totally cleanses my taste buds. And y Coffee goes right back to excellent flavor.

So that's what I do ... When I need to refesh, I hit the Clove liquid.

What is it usually served before as a pallet cleanser?
Citrus Sorbets

Lemon Sorbet
this is a classic palate cleanser, always a favorite

Lemon Thyme Sorbet
for a different taste, try this one with fresh thyme

Lime and Basil Sorbet
fresh lime juice and fresh basil are combined for a unique flavors

Grapefruit and Mint Sorbet
this is so refreshing and a terrific combination for a palate cleanser

Pink Grapefruit Sorbet served on ice
serve on frozen ice for a unique way to serve a palate cleanser sorbet

Orange Sorbet
quenelles of orange sorbet, a delicious sorbet

It is the acid in the lemon or orange that we want for that cleansing effect.
