The Weirdest Thing

[Olef]

Had the strangest thing happen to me yesterday and I wondered if anyone else had experienced it?

I tried a new flavour, Flavourarts RY4, mixed up a small amount at 26mg with 75%PG 25%VG yesterday morning. I found it quite pleasant and proceeded to vape it all day. By the evening I was really getting the taste for it and liking it.

Then we ate, a cheese and tomato flatbread with a garlic and onion dip.

Now I know full well that after a meal your vape can taste different but it usually isn't a problem. This time it was.

My newly found FA RY4 tasted completely rank, so bad I actually considered it may have gone off while I was eating. How I don't know but it really tasted that bad I couldn't bear more than a few puffs and had to change liquid.

I kept trying it throughout the evening but still awful.

So this morning I wake up and decide to give it one more try before sending it down the sink and yep, you've guessed it, it tastes just fine again.

My guess is either the garlic or the onion reacted with something in the juice and I wondered if anyone had any insight on this?

Garlic does it to me all the time. I have to brush my teeth, gargle, brush teeth again before I can get the garlic out. Nothing tastes good before doing all that to my mouth. I've never thought much about it until you posted this.

Haven't experienced a change that strong myself, but it's not very surprising. The garlic may have been the culprit, but my guess is it was probably the acid in the tomatoes that temporarily altered your taste buds. Some foods have that ability. As an example, check out these tablets that can completely (but temporarily) alter what you taste: ThinkGeek :: Miracle Berry Fruit Tablets

BTW, glad to hear you didn't pour the juice down the drain!

Yea thats ineresting.... never had one go rank tasting on me.... but I got some RY4 from FSUSA and it was good at first, but now has almost no flavor... Ive been switching thru a few juices too so I dont think that its just cause Ive gotten use to it.

That's hilarious, because it happened to me with onions, and with a vengeance.

Oh My God! Rank like I have never experienced before, it was immediate and very offensive.
It didn't matter what I was vaping, I switched 5 different cartos out in rapid succession, every single one was the nastiest thing I've ever tasted.

So...Garlic AND Onions, .....Yup, no doubt, that did it for sure.

I have to brush my teeth, gargle, brush teeth again before I can get the garlic out.

Yes, this is exactly what I had to do with the onions incident.
I love garlic too, but for whatever reason, haven't had too much of it in the time I've been vaping, might affect me the same way, I will be on-guard!

Thanks for all the replies... I guess garlic and onion dip is not vaping friendly I will know better next time...

But garlic and onions are amazing! Treat yourself to those and save the vape for later if you ask me.

I've had similar experience. I really like lime-flavored vapes, but learned to avoid them after brushing my teeth. Some flavors just don't follow each other well I guess.

This happened to me today after eating brats with a spicy homemade pickle relish. Everything I tried to vape tasted like dumpster juice for an hour or more after eating, even after rinsing out my mouth several times. The meal was worth it though, lol.

I wish I could say I have experienced this but I'm allergic to cheese (cultures, anything with cultures) and garlic!
