Taste and/or Flavor

[DiNet]

I'm quite confused. Today I got 2 new juices- Dekang RY4 and joyetech Oriental.
RY4 tastes like tobacco, just that and nothing else in there. It's 18mg nc. VG, no idea if that means I got 100% VG or not. Doesn't look thick at all. Feels kinda thick when vaping tho.
Oriental (16mg PG) got very very light tobacco taste and I get the feeling like sugar something sweet touching my tongue when inhaling. And feels very "Airy" to me.

Today vaped 18mg TakeAir strawberry, which does give me soar throat and does mute my taste a little. At least nestea exotic doesn't taste so good after vaping it
On top of that I'm still clueless if I got taste issue after so many years of smoking or it's flavor issue with these juices? Anyone who vaped them can give me some input?

​By them I mean these 2 juices

Edit: Did a ghetto dripping for tasting them. Old CE4, dripping on sides of coil and vaping. Was done after I thought that maybe my mini Vivi nova is muting flavor.

How long have you been off the analogs?

My 1st few weeks all my juices tasted like dirty dishwater but they gradually started tasting good. I still can't taste many of the nuances that people use to describe juices but as the saying goes, I know what I like.

Since November 22. So just 4 weeks... But I don't get dishwasher taste... I just don't taste those flavors...
I mean I can't taste vanilla or caramel in RY4 and Rum in oriental... or anything "flavorful" in that juice as per their description.
So I'm trying to understand if it's me or juice. I'm hoping it is so, these juices are manufactured I think, as opposed to mixed i.e. heather's heavenly?

When coming off analogs your taste might not necessarily be changed so much as enhanced. I noticed flavors gradually became stronger the farther along I went since quitting smoking.

You just need some time to adjust.

Well, for me the mini vivi seems to mute the flavors a lot. Some flavors will still come through. I haven't tried either of those brands, so cannot help you. I'd put them aside and try them again in a day or so or maybe a week or so. It could be your sense of taste is just a little messed up. Be sure to drink a lot of fluids because dehydration can affect your taste sense and vaping does dehydrate you. I remember about the 4th week of vaping, I got flavor block so bad I couldn't taste any vape. Took me a couple of weeks to get over it, totally.

A lot of people at some point in vaping where it is hard to taste what they are vaping. Drink plenty of water, and it usually goes away and your taste comes back in a few days or weeks. I've heard it referred to as vapors tongue. Or it could be the juice, try some other vendors.
