Wacky taste buds + Dulce de Leche

[NanC]

I'm afraid there's something wrong with my taste buds. I just received Dulce de Leche and I could swear there's a hint of coconut in it, which I'm pretty much sure there isn't. (Nor is there supposed to be.)

I do like it a lot and know it will age beautifully; already, caramel lingers deliciously in my mouth after exhaling...it's just that I also get that coconut hint. Not a huge problem, as I love coconut, too, but I'm worried my taste buds have been irreversably altered from 38 years of smoking and I'll never be able to taste anything they way it really tastes.

I know my senses are still changing...I've only been smoke free for two plus months; and I probably won't taste coconut at all tomorrow, lol...but this is driving me crazy!

I think it has a bit to do with changes in the tastebuds, & also things you've drunk or eaten.

I received some new juices last week. Had a few drinks as I tried some out, & was totally in love. The next day, as I tried more new ones, everything was extra sweet, like artificial sweetener. Weird. I started thinking I'd only loved everything coz I was drunk

Tried some older favourites & yep, same weird sweetness. It was only vapeables though, things I ate & drank tasted 'normal.' Next day, everything went back to normal yumminess.

I've also had days where I couldn't taste the flavours in my juice at all, & another time a friend had me try her carto that she 'wasn't sure was dry or not' OMG BLAGGGHHH!!!! Took a whole day to get that horrible burnt plastic taste out of everything I vaped - YUK!!!

I'm happy to report that the hint of coconut is entirely gone...and I don't just like it a lot now, I love it!

I know that burnt taste; turned me off cartomizer blanks for now plus wasted good bnb juice for nothing.
