Vaporbomb.com and ECBlends.com are the 2 best I have found for that.

And just to play devil's advocate. I'm about 2 months in and tried 4 different from ecblends and they were all gross to me. ALL of them. Good grief this taste bud thing is annoying. I'm going through the same thing.

I got a netty pot. IMO its the sinuses that are acting up. I got mine because it was recommended by people who use nasal snuff which I do periodically. I think in general it's a good thing but it's never been instant success flavor wise. Just comfort wise but maybe it has a delayed benefit. It's a healthy thing use and cheap one off e Bay is all youneed

I think everyone has experienced what you are going through right now. Isn't it nice though to have a place to come for suggestions and support for you on your journey? Here is what I tried.... try some new and totally different flavors from what you are use too. I love my peach and peppermint flavorings. If the flavors you are using are to strong you can dilute them down with unflavored (although this does lower your nic level, which I've never really noticed). Some flavors that I am getting tired of.... I can add menthol or koolada (cool feel, no added mint taste). I love koolada. Sorry I am not much help, but I am new too but I wish you luck. Worth trying all the great suggestions to help you through the vaping rut.
 
It seems like most people this happens to lose taste altogether or otherwise their flavours start to taste unappealing. My experience of the last 3 or 4 days (after about 2 months of vaping) has been soap and almond flavours along with or instead of the flavours I'm vaping; best case scenario. Mostly, though, I'm getting noxious tasting stuff. I'm talking about burnt rubber, dirt and mould tastes. My partner has been vaping for maybe a week or two and says they all taste fine! None of the techniques recommended on forums such as this have helped, so far. It got so frustrating that I've had a couple of cigarettes, which of course taste like crap too. I don't want to go back to those things and really enjoy vaping (except for the perpetual messing about with leaks and blockages etc) but I can't put up with this much longer. It's impossible to persist with something that tastes more like death than regular cigs... meh.

I've been vaping for over a year and it still happens to me. When I want to wake up the taste buds. Yes you can laugh at this cause I intend for you to. Get a bottle of PURE LIME JUICE!!!!!! Fill a glass of water and keep it close. Rinse with the lime juice until you can't stand it. When your mouth unpuckers, rinse with the water. Be sure to brace both feet firmly on the ground and don't try to walk around. I promise those darn taste buds will come alive like you never dreamed. It sounds funny but I really do keep a large bottle of pure lime juice handy just for those occasions.
Keep at it you'll do just fine.

Only person ive seen describe exactly what I'm tasting and going through. Worst part is i spent a bunch of money replacing stuff thinking it was my set ups crapping out on me. Guess I might have to go tasteless juice til this gets sorted out

I found out that not brushing your teeth for like 5 weeks help with flavor. GL and vape on!!!!!!!!!

So im on my second week almost third of quitting cigarettes. The problem im having is all my ejuices taste like crap and is giving me a headache. And these are all e juices that i absolutely loved. Ive got Belgian cocoa, subzero, coolmist and Kringles curse from halo, A bunch of popular ones from mt baker vapor and a few from bonzai like futterbinger and twinkie. Ive washed and put brand new heads in all of my tanks, switched out flavors several times and even my favorites from my first couple weeks just taste like crap. Could my taste buds just be healing. Its like it all taste like air and some even just taste chemically. Sucks because i was totally loving vaping just a few days ago but now its like nothing sastifys me. Oh and ive completely cleaned the tanks out and used brand new heads when switching flavors, feels like ive been messing with vaping stuff trying to get a satisfaction all day but nothing is working.
