Taste Buds gone Haywire?

[Sucker_dad]

I am at the 2 week point and I can't find any juice I like at all and yesterday I noticed my lunch was extremely salty and I could just taste everything in some baked beans. I had forgotten about that aspect of quitting. Right now the taste buds are hyper sensitive and everything is a bit off. So is anyone else having that issue?

Ya it has been going on. My morning cup of Joe is just odd. Everything tastes like salt. Kinda a bummer too cause some friends took me to this awesome expensive restaurant and everything was salty. Just hope it gets better but at least my vape flavors have been Ok.

Yep I am right over 2 weeks and everything is tasting salty or to sweet.

The last time I quit this happened as well. It goes away after a few days. I just hate it because I love my food and right now it isn't tasting good.

Yep, same thing is happening to me. Not to mention that I chain vape, so I get vaper's tongue. I've smoked heavily for the past 10 years, chewed before that. I'm looking forward to this part being over with!

It will pass.

Lots of my vaping friends have had their taste buds and sense of smell go bonkers for a bit. All part of the experience my friend!

It passes... well, that or you just get used to your new ability to taste. The harder one to tackle is smells. Early on I never knew the world could smell sooooo bad! My brain got reprogrammed, I guess, into not noticing but it sure was uncomfortable for a while.

Oh yes the smells. @0 years ago, the last time I successfully quit for 4 months I worked with a man who smoked 2 PAD. I couldn't stand to be in the room with him. I finally had to bring a toothbrush for him to use. It was horrible.

I'll tell you how bad your sence of smell gets. I'm 7 years + (yes years) passed the point where I quit. The other day I was working on my car (parked next to the sidewalk), a guy walked by carring a lit cigarette. He didn't stop or anything, just storlled right on by. He wasn't 5 feet passed me and I could smell his cigarette. It took me by suprise because I was so consumed by what I was doing that I really didn't see him walk by....but I sure smelled him.

What causes the change in tasting ability with cigarettes? Do e cigs alter your taste at all too?

i have had this issue as well, only lasts a short time

 

[Sucker_dad]

I think the taste buds just go inactive from the toxic assault that is smoking. When you quit they come alive after a short while and they are really over sensitive for a while.

About 18 days for me now. I haven't noticed any difference in taste or anything else for that matter, except that I seem to have a lot more money now.
