Taste buds are really crazy these days

[Pugzley]

We've all been talking about the flavors and our taste buds for a long time and I know mine are whacky. But I didn't realize just how much so until today.

I ordered 15 bottles of my fav, cappuccino in the 5 ml. bottles. I love this stuff to no end, as you can tell. Anyway, I crack open a bottle and no flavor whatsoever, it's just sweet. I'm like: OH NO

So, I wait a few days and grab that bottle again. Well, guess what? It tastes just like cappuccino is supposed to taste like.

A few days ago I tried the ice cream sundae, same deal. No flavor. I'm wondering what everyone is so happy about with this stuff. I try it today and voila: It's ice cream sundae.

Moral to this story. Don't trust your tastebuds. If something isn't right one day, wait a few and it might be then.

Wow, I must have really done a number on my body with all those smokes for so many years.

If I'd have known I was gonna live this long, I'd have taken a helluva lot better care of myself.

Ok so I'm not crazy after all!!!!

 

[Pugzley]

Not unless I'm crazy too. LOL

Is mutual exclusivity required?

 

[Pugzley]

Not around here, it isn't.

Hey, I am 14 months off cigs, and my tastebuds still play tricks on me. What I do not like in the morning, many times, I love later. Strange, but, true.

We all need to chill, some times, and let our body's speak for oursleves. Patience, and tastebuds, can be a real virtue. Give it some time

This is really one of the strangest things that has happened to my body re: stopping cigs.

I never thought that this could happen this way, but it is.

Make it stop! LOL

Reminds me of the 2 different cola flavors i have, the generic Kanger one and the V4L one, i preferred the generic one more at first, but a week later i like the V4L one better now lol.

 

[Pugzley]

Is Kanger the same as DeKang?

 

[nightwalker83]

They are different companys

 

[Pugzley]

Thanks! I wasn't sure.

I have found shaking it up and leaving the cap off for a little while helps.

You know, I used to sell hundreds of different scents of fragrance oils for candles.

I'm seeing a similar issues with the flavors as I saw with the scents. After all, we are not eating anything, it's our sense of smell that is coming into play here a lot as well as our taste buds.

What I see as similarities (that word doesn't look right typed LOL) is the heating factor.

When the fragrances were in a super hot medium and burning (gel candles) they didn't smell nearly as good as they did when burned inside soy candles or regular paraffin (low burn temps).

The batteries (fully charged, xlong batts, shorties, long cutoffs, short cutoffs, etc etc.) and the passthroughs we are using must be having a similar effect on the way we taste and smell the flavors of ejuice. Maybe we need to pay more attention to that, too.

I'll give your trick a try, MaryKay. But I was fine a few days later.

We have a lot of things going on here with these flavors, I think.

And like I said (and cited research to back me up) appearance and color also affects perception of taste.

Oh, I can give you a clear example of that! I got a yellow fleshed watermelon once. It did not taste like a watermelon to me when I tried it. When husband came home, I got a piece of it, had him close his eyes, popped it into his mouth. I said, what's that? He said, Why, watermelon of course.

I make candles and have experienced the dreaded "candle nose" where you cannot smell a scent due to over exposure. Gel candles can only handle a very small fragrance load compared to soy and paraffin so that is the major difference in scent with them.

I fully agree with all said on the taste variances, it happens to me too!

Yep, plus the fact that gel burns at around 245 deg. F and the max. heat any fragrances should be exposed to is 185.

I absolutely hated coconut!!! But just received my order with free sample of Coconut Cream 18 and love the flavor

 

[Pugzley]

I love the coconut cream pie, too! There's so many good ones now, I don't know which one to use.
