Still no taste - driving me mad

[DaveP]

juice vendors don't jazz up most juices with heavy flavor because their customers are by far non smokers who quit a while back. I had the same complaint when I was still smoking half a dozen cigs a day while vaping. It can take a couple of months or more for your taste buds to recover. Full recovery can take six months or more. One day you will walk out of the house and smell things you haven't smelled since you were a kid. Then, you know you have recovered.

Go to Lorann's food and candy flavor site and look through what they have. Make sure the one you order is oil free. Oil isn't good for vaping. Look for "soluble in water" in the description for the particular flavor you are interested in. A one dram bottle will last a long time.

I keep Lorann's English Toffee and Key Lime Pie around for when I want a burst of good flavor. Order plain unflavored juice and add your own flavor. I like to us Dekang Tobacco for a base. It only takes a tiny drop to flavor a tank. I use a syringe and dip the needle into the bottle and then let it drip into the tank. Once or twice is enough. You get a tiny drop that way.

So glad I saw this thread!

I've had my evod kit for just over 3 weeks and I have 22 bottles of juice and 4 more in the post!

I can taste the flavours (just) but I'm not at all impressed. I came on here looking for advice because all I was getting was a hint of flavour and my mouth was horrible/burn sensation when I exhaled.

I was on 18mg nic, I ordered a VG double mint in 18mg and 8mg. Out of all the flavours my go to juice is the 8mg double mint with a bit of the 18mg mixed in, also tried it with other 18mg flavours mixed in and and its much better as long as I don't add to much 18mg other wise I'm back to throat burn!

Think I saw someone mention your in the UK, try the alchemist cupboard, juice stunk my house out within minutes of it landing on my door step (nice smells, still in envelope). They need steep time (2 weeks so far) but are the strongest I've tried, beware of auntie flo's pear drops it frosted my T3S so use pyrex if ordering.

OK, burning sensation on the exhale does not sound right. You may have a sensitivity to PG. Try more juices with very high VG or even all VG juices and see if it helps.

pack those flavor shots in and reduce as necessary as your taste returns

Some burning in the nose will happen, it happens to me with cola, but if it's "horrible" something is either wrong with the juice or with the person vaping.

My first lot of liquids are PG/VG mix (60/40, 50/50, 40/60) @ 18mg nic. About 12 bottles from different vendors. They all give me the same sensation in my throat and tongue (could not stand more than 3-4 draws). I asked the guys and gals on here and I have been getting VG liquid from liberty flights at 8mg nic which is perfectly fine.

I have ordered some more PG/VG mix liquid in 8mg to find out for sure if its the PG and not just the nic that was too high should be here tomorrow.

Person vaping? Am I broken? Lol

Don't give up. It can take a while. I couldn't really taste a number of liquids in the beginning. Keep hydrating and you could also try Biotene. I found that helped a lot. Also, salted crackers help me but I don't know if that will help everyone because I don't normally use a lot of salt.

You could also try some Halo tobacco flavors. I still find that many liquids are not as flavorful as I like and I find that Halo is one of the strongest out there. I really don't think the PG ratio has anything to do with your problem and wouldn't focus on that at this point.

Good luck and don't give up!

I've seen mention unflavored liquids. Does anyone know of a reliable UK vendor that sells ready to use unflavored liquids with a nicotine content? All I seem to be able to find is stuff for mixing your own juices that isn't ready to use.

I find if you mix flavors like that the first flavor will linger for about 2 or 3 refills. I believe soaking the head in vodka will clean it out but make sure it's dried out properly before you reuse it.
I'm sure there are more knowledgeable people on here that will correct me if I'm wrong.

Well it's been three weeks now and everything is starting to wake up a little! I've been sticking to tobacco and mint, but realised this weekend that I can tell the difference between various tobacco juices! I got a new order of samples and could taste gingerbread straight away. I tried cheesecake and while it tasted absolutely nothing like cheesecake, it tasted of SOMETHING ... so I'm getting there slowly!

Trungo, I ordered some unflavoured after it was suggested on here. I followed a link from another thread and got 100ml 50/50 24mg from LT Ecigs. No problems at all with delivery, so I'd be happy to order again from them.
And it was less than £8 for 100ml. Bargain!
