Taste Blindness

[Stosh Ferhobin]

Been vaping for like 4 months now on my EGO-C

and my favorite flavor is strawberry , its a 60pg / 40 vg liquid from itisvapor.

When i first started i noticed i would loose taste for it and switch to a different flavor then back again after a day or 2.
Which was going fine up until about a couple of days ago.

No matter what i do i cant taste the strawberry flavor for longer than 1-2 hits. after that it just tastes like , well not much.
I can taste my 2nd favorite flavor grape just fine.

Any suggestions or logic behind whats going on here?

As for why this happens. Well you are not tasting the vape. You smell it and your senses view it as flavor even though it not. practically, you ever walk into a room and it smells like fart? After a few seconds the smell "goes away". Nope your brain just filtered it out. Same with vaping, your brain gets usto the smell.

Suggestions are to
1. drink more water. Dry mouth will make the taste vanish faster.
2. More flavors in your rotation.
3. With time your buds will normalize.

I had this when I first started, eventually everything tasted the same. I haven't experienced that recently but do notice if i take a break i can taste the flavor better. Morning vapes and after work are best (can't vape at work).

My theory was that the PG or VG coats your tongue after a while, I could be wrong, i usually just take a break and its all good

Try a light bready snack.
Saltine crackers work great.
I find after I eat a meal, or really anything, my vape tastes best.
I also seem to get a little more nic sting after eating a meal.

I feel your pain, I find that, as dcoin said, hydration definitely helps flavor but overall, to experience the "full" flavor, I do have to have a rotation of flavors.

Water, water, water. I drink lemon water which kinda cleans off your tongue...I also use a cinnamon toothpaste and scrub my teeth and my tongue...last night I noticed that was happening, and I switched off to a cinnamon based flavor and brushed, and noticed a big difference.

Definitely agree with the water - also with a snack - if nothing else, it gets you away from chain vaping which can definitely lead to muted flavor. This is especially true if you are vaping one flavor for extended periods.

Alright thanks everybody.

The flavor returned today after i just continually smoked the cartridge, was very random. Ill continue on with the water and snacks, i really just need to find a new flavor besides strawberry and grape to work into my rotation as well.

vaper's tongue.

Keep a larger rotation of juices of different flavor profiles daily, to keep that vaper's tongue away.
