Taste Bud Death, What I've been trying so far to recoup flavor

[317Vapers]

Could try one of those neti pots. I've never used one but some people SWEAR by them. (I have a really hard time sticking anything up my nose... lol)

Amen to that. I freak out lol and start gagging if I get water up there the wrong way in the shower lol But I'm going to try it tonight I have to do something ASAP

Try cutting a lime in half and then licking it or cutting a slice out and holding it on your tongue for as long as you can stand it. You can also use lime juice out of the lime shaped bottle. Ive tried the fresh lime juice and it worked for a day or two.

I was taking dayquil but I got over the sore throat and congestion now just blowing stuff in the morning out and during the day I'm fine so I thought I was practically over it, I guess not!

Sounds like it's your cold or perhaps a sinus infection, then. Are you taking anything for your cold?

shoot now your going to have me doing tequila shots tonight lol i love me some tequila & lime juice mmmmm lol

I guess if I cant vape I'll just drink so I pass out and wake up when I can taste my vapes lol

I know one thing that clears up the ole' sinuses but haven't experienced it since my youth.

When someone is making pickles ... and they're boiling that vinegar and what not ... WOOOOOO! stick your face above that pot for a split second and it feels like your brain is gonna slide out through your nose.

You know I think I'm on to something. I'm going to eat some Wasabi tonight that stuff normally clears me out so good my nose/eyes water. I'm going to see how that works too!!

Eating ANYTHING real spicey and hot feels awesome when I have sinus issues.
Granted, I can sit there and eat an entire jar of hot jalapenos even when I'm not sick, but when I am ... boy does it feel good.

yeh this question pops up all the time and the same misinformation usually is given. Gargling, lime, etc is useless. Stay hydrated, make sure your nose is working, and switch up flavors. Stop saying it's your taste buds, they aren't to blame, it's your nose (nasal receptors). Here is the usual solution and the science behind it all. Hope it helps. cheers mate.

Do you have any strong beverages you like? I'm unfortunately addicted to soda as much as I am vaping. Coffee works too. It's probably olfactory as others have mentioned, but my "method" as it were, is to take in some of my beverage.. really let the taste of it linger a bit in my mouth then vape. Seems to do a temporary fix, and you will be drinking a lot of fluids when you vape anyway.

You sure the juices didnt go sour on ya - happened to me last week - left em in the car during the day - changed color and tasted nasty...

No 3 of them are new and been storing them in the house same as others. I don't leave anything in the truck. Keep my ego case with my vivis in it in my jacket

I got a Neti-pot and did the solution in each nostril. It cleared my left up nicely but my right for a second then it was foggy again. It doesn't say on the packet but how often can you use the Neti? And should I see results immediately or will it take some time?

Glad to see you got the Neti pot. It's one of the best things in the world. Use it as much as you feel its needed. I've found usually when I get congested at the most I use it once in the morning and once before bed. Usually it clears things up in a couple days that I'll put it back in the cabinet and forget about it unit I need it again.

It's interesting what you're describing, because I'm about 5 days into vaping and quitting analogs and today everything started to taste terrible, and way too strong. For me I guess it's that I'm just getting into the beginnings of my Analog detox. My solution was to go out and get some VG and fill empty cartos and basically go unflavored.

But at the same time your description reminds my of the many many times I've had terrible colds and couldn't stand the taste of analogs, yet it never really stopped me from smoking them. And I never really thought of going and asking anyone "What's wrong with me these cigarettets suddenly taste like sh&$!!??"

I'm experiencing the same burnt taste... very annoying. I'm still a noob and only in a week and im pretty sure its just overload since i tried several flavors already. Its also possible I was drawing a bit too hard like it was a cigarette because my tongue actually feels a bit numb like when you burn your tongue from hot coffee and get the same bad taste even eating food (no i wasnt getting any drops of fluid, i think it was just the heat from the vapor right onto my tongue). I verified with 2 other people that my vivi's and juice taste great (so good my friend at work kept vaping my apple cider and I just stood there sad because it tasted like burnt nothing to me lol). Worst part is my sense of smell is starting to come back after quitting smoking so i can smell how tasty my juices are, i just can't taste them. After reading all the info here I've decided to just wait it out.... i really hope its not long though

I may take up the advise of using up the juice i dont like though, i got a freebie pina colada sample and i didn't even want to try it because i never was a fan lol.
