Taste buds have returned!

Actually mine returning turned out to be a mixed blessing. Now the hubby complains that I do not use enough salt when cooking and when I taste things they seem too salty.
Just tell him "That's why they invented salt shakers!!" You can put more on but you can't take it out. My sense of taste varies thru the day. At times, it's like a rainbow of flavors exploding in my mouth when I eat or drink something and then other times it's "bleh".
Didn't realize how salty processed foods were until I started vaping. And to think I used to add salt to 'bout everything...
my taste buds are way to sentive now and have become sore,just at the tip of the tongue,i may be using to much vg, 90% 10% pg ,going to a higher vg and see if this helps,also have very very dry mouth,wakes me up at night,been vapin for 16 mo. now just seems the last mo. has given me problems, tried dry mouth wash ,no help,hope cutting back on pg will do the trick,at wits end,tongue gets sore at the end of the day,sure don't want to go back to cigs,also quit vaping fruit mixed juices,now on cream chocolate type juices....any help on this ,,dennis,j
I think my 40 plus years of smoking may have permanently fried my taste buds. I've been cigarette free for over a month, and I honestly can't tell the difference between now and before. Everything still tastes and smells the same to me. My step-son came over to visit recently. He's been super supportive and enthusiastic about my vaping, which is so great. He asked me, " Well, does everything taste a lot better now?" I had to say, everything tastes good, but it did before, too.
I'm really not complaining. Everything is great. I feel great. But I just haven't noticed any difference so far.

That's cool DenimFreak ...I think
lol
Yes I had and still have very sensitive taste buds. Smoking might have effected them slightly. Didn't use much seasonings on food before and now everything is still too sweet, too salty or too spicy. I vape unflavored nic base frequently throught the day and can only vape some flavors periodically, and then they would probably on the weak side for most people. However, when having sinus stuffiness, then my taste and sense of smell are a bit off, as everyone is most likely. I have to use 100%VG or if I use PG I end up with sinus and sore tongue, throat issues, among other things.

I'm guessing you meant to say too much pg, but in that case you are mostly right. Pg not only lowers the freezing point of water, it also draws water to itself so that could be part of the issue.
I normally vape at 80/20 vg/pg blend and don't have that problem. Hope going to a higher vg % works for you.
Happy vaping!

@ 7 months into vaping stank stick free! the odd thing is everything tastes and smells the same as when I smoked except now I almost get nauseous when I smell smoke on someone. Can't believe I walked around for almost 20 years smelling like that!
I suppose it hasn't been long enough for me to taste things again.. but I have noticed that my workshop smells like an ashtray..
SNAP ! Exactly the same here and smoked for the same amount of time.
The only thing that's different now is that I can smell cigarette smoke from half a mile away.
And it STINKS.
Like you however I am not bothered...just happy to be smoke free

Thank you! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.
I was cooking dinner at my job the other day before I quit smoking and told my sous chef everything tasted bland today.
I had an issue a while back and for one whole day almost everything tasted like perfume! I was disappointed but by the grace of gods the next day I was back to tasting in full swing! Lots of water and vaping a very menthol juice is what helped me through that long day!
