Vape Tasting

[HecticEnergy]

Is there any good way to go around and taste a variety of flavors without fatiguing your taste buds?

I went around to a few shops last weekend and sampled a dozen or so juices at each stop. after a few it was hard to pick out the flavors in the juices.
Does this happen to anyone else?
Are there any known remedies for this?

I know with tasting food you can use a citrus sorbet to cleans the pallet, has anyone tried this (or similar pallet cleansing techniques) when sampling many different flavors of eliquid?

I read on here that people smell ground coffee beans to "cleanse the pallet" in between various flavors. Might be awkward to go to vape tasting bars with a Folgers can however.

If there is, i haven't found it. In fact i think the most important aspects of a juice only come out after a few days of vaping it so yah.. vape tasting is a slow, slow process.

I've been to a couple of vape shops and sampled their juices. It was not a very worthwhile experience for me. First, I really can't tell if I like something by just a couple of puffs. Second, even if it did taste pretty good to me, I flinch at paying the prices in the local stores. I don't want to fall in love with something that is expensive, lol. I've done better just getting small bottles online, trial and error, and taking my chances.

I've found quite a few that way which I really like, and nothing I've purchased online is what I would call "unvapeable." If it's not my favorite I just sit it aside, and maybe try it again in a few days. My taste is changing slowly, and I'm pretty new still.

As to your actual question, since I got sidetracked, lol, maybe take a bottle of something citrus flavor with you, like Mountain Dew or Gatorade, to sip between testing.

I don't know if this would work for everyone, but I stumbled into something that works for me. I was not tasting my juice the other day after vaping on it for awhile and reached for a bag of Doritos. Ate a few of them and when I went back to vaping, the taste was back. Easy to carry snacks along when you visit B&M's.

Thanks for the replies!

I usually just take menthol with me, that seems to do an ok job of wetting my mouth, kinda clearing the last flavor. (Forgot it last weekend though)
Now that you mention Doritos, at home I also noticed salty snacks (sunflower seeds) kinda help separate flavors when switching liquids.

I agree - I dont buy 30 mils of liquid based on a first impression, but I will buy 10, just to see if its something I like.
I have a few local shops who's "House Blends" aren't outrageously priced (about the same as MBV), so I was giving them a try

I'll have to try that citrus juice thing (i know i know, only in a glass tank), or maybe stop by jambajuice and grab a citrus smoothie

Doritos, huh! Sounds good. I've found that eating a Hershey's Kiss works for me, too. I think maybe lots of things work to shock your taste buds a little, and wake them up. It seems mine were sleeping for all those long smoking years, lol.

I hope you didn't think I meant to "vape" the Gatorade and Mountain Dew, lol.

I keep a couple of teaspoons of coffee grounds in a pill bottle. If a flavor starts disappearing, I'll take a few nose hits on my bottle and I'm back in the game in a bit. A good rinse with a bit of H2O gets the mouth refreshed too.

Easy carry/packaged -not messy/crummy Oyster crackers & water for taste buds.
Coffee beans for nose.

A strong mint e-juice helps me to be able to taste other juices.

I never thought about crackers. That is a good idea. Will give that a try next time. Thanks, Brend!

Any excuse to eat chocolate works for me!

I carry a glass of ice water with me and swish a bit around my mouth once in a while. Also find at home that if my flavor goes off, a water rinse helps out.

Other than that, changing flavors for a while or just resting your buds seems to help.

Got a friend setting up a vape shop and I am trying to get him to install a water cooler with dixie cups for this reason as well as vapors-throat.

 

[Brend]

Yep
Wine tasting use crackers
& perfume counters in department stores use coffee beans.
Taste buds don't work unless olafacory is workin.
Thanks for topic all. vaping not long & sample many flavors when I go to b&m. Will try things things next visit.

I found I can't try more than four or five before I can't really taste them properly anymore.
I have more than a couple bottles of juice at home that make me go, "What the hell was I thinking?".

I'm sure somewhere this was covered, but I accidently dropped some juice in the tube section of my Areotank, now it's popping....any tricks?

Nothing wrong with a little popping, it's normal. Now if it's gurgling, a little maintainance is required.

It's rude to hijack...
