The dreaded "Taste Bud Wall"

[Robino1]

This thread is interesting. I noticed today that my favorite juice Renegade from Nite Lite Vapors was tasting irregular. Throughout the day I noticed it was getting worse. I just walked in the door from work and filled up my atomizer with my RY4 and it tastes funny to me as well. The smell is the same but the taste is very bland. I am 2 weeks into into vaping and three weeks off of analogs. I may be running into the wall as well... and I am not happy about it. I really hope this passes since all of my juices are tobacco flavored and I wasn't too crazy about any of the other juices I have tried.. What flavors do you all suggest?

You could use this time to vape the stuff you weren't crazy about to get rid of them. Just kidding...... Kinda. I've heard menthol or a cinammon. If you do go with cinammon, make sure your tank, if your using one, can handle the destructive nature of them.

drink gin and juice for a day and don't vape for a day either. Your taste buds will be fresh again and yearning to try something new. It's like eating hamburgers all week and getting sick of it then eating salad for an entire day and then having awesome tacos !!!

This may not work for everybody but what I do is I vape unflavored nic for a few hours then go back to my juices.

Been shuffling 2 to 3 flavors a day. It helps reset my taste buds somehow.

Gin...all day long?

Your suggestion demands my respect and admiration

Also: TACOS!

I read here on the forum..to eat something salty. It did work for me, temporarily..at the time. I had a terrible time with losing taste when I tried clearomizers. now I only have issues if I overindulge..and it can last for a few days, eventually I will start off a day with great flavor..history favors tomorrow..lol. I do plan on investing in a bottle of unflavored.

Yesterday I switched between Menthol and Bubble gum flavors. I dont know if this helps alot but it seems if I switch to a sweet flavor I can trick my buds into working for a little bit. After using the Bubble gum my DK Tab tasted normal again until this am. Now its back to the old ash tray flavor.

OMG! Go to madvapes and order Blaack Licorice! A very pronouned taste but not overpowering, this too should cut through the dreaded taste bud wall. I almost didn't select it but I am very glad I did, just got it in on Tuesday, sampled it and now it has it's own dedicated tank.

Try adding just a slight dusting of baking soda to your toothpaste. I worked wonders for me. Not only will it help whiten your teeth, but I brushed my tongue and it really helped wake up my taste buds. Unfortunately, you really shouldn't brush your teeth with baking soda too often, because it's abrasive. In order to get around this, when my buds are dead, I just brush my tongue. I would suggest giving a tongue scraper a try too.
Also, I found that if you brush the inside of your cheeks, it really helped clear out any nasty tastes in my mouth and I could taste my juice much more.

Good Luck!

@OBE1 - the most death strong menthol you can find and even if you don't like it (like me) you will at least taste it.... OR its time to use up some of those juices you didn't like from before since you can't taste anyhow

I know for me, for the longest time, I couldn't tell the taste differences between a lot of fruits. They just taste.. 'fruity' without a definite taste. I can finally, after over a month, taste the difference between blackberry and strawberry. Just keep going! You'll get there.

Hamlet? Really? Forsooth - Get thee to a Monastery.

Alas, poor dreaded Taste Bud Wall, I knew him, Horatio:
a fellow of infinite jest mocking me, of most horrible fancy:
he hath borne me on his back a thousand times;
and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My mind reals at it.
Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know
not how often. Where be your gibes now? Your
gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment,
that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one
now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen?
Now get you to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let
her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must
come; make her laugh at that. Prithee, tell her that
Taste Bud Wall is no more!

Alas thy monastery hath banned me for use of vapage in thy pew.

The same thing happened to me, but I was vaping menthol already. It tasted like I was sucking out of a fog machine for about 2 days. If you've ever smelled those nasty fog machines, that was what it was like....bleh!!! I am so happy it went away after 2 days, still vaping strong.

It's been 2 months for me with no analogs and that dreaded NO TAST hit about week 3 and lasted around 5 days for me just from tobacco flavors and juic flavors and Like RACHY_B said use mouthwash it helps

Well I'm mixing up my flavors and also using some the carts I got with my kit that taste like toothpaste (supposed to be peppermint ) I figured since I was brushing my teeth and tongue so many times a day now that the toothpaste flavor wouldn't be a big deal. The suggestion my dentist gave me about the hydrogen peroxide has worked somewhat. I can tell a bit of a difference, but not much. I'm still smoking the creme de menthe flavor to actually get a taste from a vape. All the others either have no to little taste, or taste just plain funky! I'm sure it'll pass soon enough. but I look at it this way...All the new juices I ordered are having time to steep and they should be fabulous by the time I break through this wall!! Kinda the silver lining thing

Vaping.... You are still vaping to get a taste...

I have been off the stinkies for nearly 10 months now...Stuck with tobacco flavors the whole time with just an occassional vape of irish cream or gummy bears. Took me the lonest time to find a tobacco flavor that I liked & stuck with...

I have hit that taste bud wall....not that I am not tasting....it's not tasting good anymore.

I have ordered up several sample packs trying to find my new daily vape. Not much into the fruities or the minties (virgin vapor's wintergreen is amazing) hoping to find some creamy & amazing!
Good Luck...don't give up!

Your pallet just needs refreshed in a sense. Nothing big, everyone goes through it...it's like puberty. But within a week max you will have your taste back and stronger than ever, it's amazing what cigarettes actually do to your body that you don't even realize. I can smell things i've honestly not been able to smell before...like for some reason when someone has bad body odor...holy crap it's like they just rolled around in pig crap and went for a 10 mile jog up hill in 100 degree weather in sweat pants.

Good luck
