So for the past few months I've come across a problem where essentially after a few days of vaping almost any flavor I can no longer taste it, I can taste whether it's sweet or spicy, but nothing other then that. It has made simplifying my vaping (due to income) complicated. In addition to this, while I love vanilla and custards (and the like), but for some reason they never taste right when vaping. I don't know if these are related or not.

There are dozens of "remedies" that sometimes work to one degree or another. It will eventually go away on it's own, but until then...

Some are interesting to say the least! :D

I hope you find something that'll bring your taste back... good luck!

I used to have three PVs going at once with different flavors in each and switch between them each drag or three. I found this eliminated vaper's tongue pretty much 100% of the time, no matter how much I chain vaped.

These days I make my own juices, have hardware that is perfect for me and don't chain vape. I never get vapers tongue anymore no matter how long I vape the same juice.

You could also vape on unflavored for a few days. That is what I do.

I was just going to mention that. Most online vendors that carry it generally price it lower than flavored e-liquids. And you could always make your own. I started making my own and unflavored is the first batch I mixed up. I figure my 30 ml bottle probably costs about 20 cents to make, if that much. It's got a nice subtle sweet flavor with a good throat hit.

I have had constant vapers sinuses (aka vapers tongue, vapers fatigue) for 5 months. The lack of taste is primarily due to the sinuses. Much like a cold. If you can't smell it you can't taste it.

I rotate between 6 flavors throughout the day. These are butterscotch, cinnamon roll, licorice, clove, creme de menthe and unflavored with a drop of flavoring. Try some single fruit flavors as they can be tasted. Custards, most creams and vanilla either cannot be tasted or taste terrible. I do not vape tobacco flavors but if it is strong it may work.

Creme de menthe and peppermint (probably any mint flavor) help to loosen the sinuses. It works better some days than others. While in the shower rinse your sinuses with saline solution (no preservatives). Benadryl and decongestants may help, Afrin nose drops (doesn't dry the nasal passages) are worth trying. It is trial and error to determine which to take and when. Gargling with Scope mint mouthwash may help. It is the mint and alcohol that can open the sinuses somewhat.

Some flavor brands are stronger than others. There are several Vape Wild flavors that I can taste but do not like (personal preference). These are peanut butter cup, sweet complexity, tiramisu, the fruity cereals, nut flavors, and root beer. Read the flavor profiles on the Vape Wild site. These may be flavors that work for you.

You may need to up the amount of flavoring in your juices or adjust the coil or power levels. We need more info like what kind of equipment you have, what kind of juice, coil builds, etc. Along the lines of what sisu said, you may want to try a saline rinse of your sinuses.
