The anatomy of flat tastebuds

[Trips1103]

Very sad.

I guess I've been over-doing the vape since getting in some new orders ... well at least today. I can not taste anything right now, and it's just before bedtime.



Is there any way to get some flavor back? I'm vaping the strongest, sweetest caramel I have right now and can't taste a thing. Is it the flavors that do this? Or does it have more to do with PG or VG (or some other chemical)? ---- I can taste other things. Just not my pv.

Does it have to do with scent, or allowing the vape through your nose as well? I can't smell it either ... and I know scent and smell go together.

I'm just curious as to what's happening to my anatomy when I "overvape".

Have you tried switching to a different flavor, something really different? I find that sometimes when I over vape, it's like I am so used that particular flavor being in my mouth, that I don't even notice it anymore. The same way you get used to the smell of your own perfume/cologne etc, until you don't even smell it anymore. When that happens, I just switch to a different flavor. Go from tobacco to something fruity, or vice versa.

It didn't help. I really had a blowout. lol

Nice plate of nachos with plenty of habernaro hot sauce, works like a dry burn on an atty.

 

[OMG!]

I am having this same problem. I can't taste any of my flavors any longer. I don't think I'm vaping too much so what's the deal?

Is this just a natural progression a few months into vaping or is something wrong with me?

Think it has to do with healing tastebuds after smoking. It just seems to happen for periods. They WILL return

I do think it is for a limited period. I often have that happen to me during the day, and then it comes back. If you have some menthol, give that a try for a little while. BTH, for me, the desserty flavors seem the easiest to lose their flavors.

This happens to me all the time and it sucks! Sometimes I go brush my teeth and tongue real good and that seems to help. When I vape for too long at a time I tend to get a build up on my tongue. Guess I need to stop chain vaping so much. I had recently dropped down to 4 mg liquid and this is leading to chain vaping.

 

[OMG!]

Perhaps this is why people have such a hard time finding that "all day vape"? Your sense of taste dulls so quickly on a flavor if you vape it too often.

I'm getting Triple flavor as it is from Gourmet Vapors so I can't go any higher there.

 

[OMG!]

On second thought I think it's my sense of smell that's getting dulled. When I've gone 4-5 hours without vaping the smell of the vapor is what really hits me stronger than the taste.

I wonder if it's more satisfying to vape inside where the smell lingers than outside in the wind where it blows away quickly?

So many annoying questions... sorry.

Do you use drip tips ?? because this happens to me when I started to use drip tips , don´t ask me why but I now I drip with cartridges and the flavour is back again

Yes! Since taste and smell are linked, I wondered if it was partly my sense of smell that was being dulled.

I also agree ... this makes it very difficult to find an all day vape. I've tried going to drip tips but they seem to get messy. It's probably me, or the type of drip tip I use ... but when I fill it, sometimes the juice clings to the sides, slowly dripping down .. and then all of a sudden my atty is soaked. I wish they made bottles with very narrow tips and perhaps a measuring device on a clear tip so that it would fit into the drip tip easier.
