I have noticed several post in here in the past about losing taste. Well I have been vaping about 2 weeks and it happened to me yesterday. I have been using 100% VG juices. When I first started vaping some of these juices were wonderful. Now everything is much more bland. I have washed out with listerine, and brushed my tongue. Stuff is still kind of bland. I wonder what causes this. Is it the flavorings in the juice? Is it the VG?. I guess this is kind of common. Is it something that usually goes away after some time?
Thanks

This also happened to me yesterday. Loads of eliquids i usually like werent tasting the same.

Its like id just started all over again. Maybe its a coincidence but i tried using my vivi nova for the 1st time in ages with a new tobacco eliquid.

I filled the tank then headed to my brothers house which is half hour away with no other cartos or liquid with me.

The tobacco flavour was quite horrible and then when i got home all my other flavours werent tasting right.

Need some menthol, cinnamon, chai tea, clove, black liquorice.....something strong to get you through this period. It will pass but it sucks until then. Staying well hydrated helps a bunch. Also they say taste is about 70% smell. If you have allergies or head cold it will effect the taste of juices. With all this hot, dry and dusty weather some saline solution for sinuses is probably a good idea too. If it makes you feel better everybody goes through this around the one month mark, some say the taste buds are regenerating. Just hang in there it will get better. Don't be suprised once your taste comes back if your favorite juice before no longer is 8)

it's that sudden change in a vapor's tongue. some call it muddy tongue. i called it vapor's tongue. i've even heard it called mud-buds or some similar variation with filtered taste-buds. your taste buds adjusted to vapors you were inhaling. the best flavor i ever gotten were when i first started. I would switch to a totally different flavor profile then what your used to atm.

basically your burnt out from your current juice profile. if you vaped something sweet and tarty, switch to something mild and taccacoy maybe. or vise versa. if that all fails, just vape 100% menthol. try to find one where it's unflavored (don't vape mint or wintergreen). it really kick starts the nerves on your tongue. give or take it about a full week of vaping that and you should be good as gold to vape your all-day batches again. for me it took considerably much longer then a week. almost 3 weeks to taste vanilla again.

vv devices also can help prolong that taste you were used to.
