Well hello there, taste duds...

[akatina]

Nope, not a typo. My taste buds switched to taste duds some time around 8p last night. All the juices (mints, tobaccos, fruits, vanilla, cherry cola) tried in both a clearo and 2 drip attys. They all taste... Dusty?

I know it's common, I know it's temporary, and I know I just need to power through it. Just figured I would whine about it first

I have had this problem too. I can hardly stand what in the past has been my all day vape the last couple of days. I have read of this happening but to have it actually happen to me is a weird experience.

Happened to me three days ago. I pulled out some second tier DIY and that made me really 'appreciate' what I was missing. Thankfully, the next day, my buds did too!

Some days you're da windshield, other days da bug...

"Hello, there, Mr. Taste Buds! I am Vaping's reckoning!"

It's been happening to me off & on lately. I have some candied ginger that I chew on and it's been helping to revive my taste buds.

Thankfully I haven't had the dead buds in a long time, but a bad bud day is a good time to vape "panther wizz" eliquid out of the apocalypse stash

I can choose from up to a dozen flavors that I normally enjoy, and after 10 months of vaping I still occassionally get the taste duds. What I do is to go from one to another, and eventually I will find one that I like. I have a couple that I don't usually use in my rotation, such as a red hot cinnamon and some Pluid, that often will shake the duds to buds.

Drink lots and lots of water. Time changes flavor block but you can help it by staying hydrated, gargle with warm salt water, and brush your teeth with cinnamon flavored toothpaste. Vape a little less frequently and if you can't taste things well, it's a good time to vape the flavors you like the least. Don't waste tired tasters on your favorite joose.

Dud days are when I use up some less favorite juice. Why not, little coming through.

I haven't bought cinnamon flavored toothpaste in a HOT minute but I miss it. <3

I buffer my dripping flavors with some Extreme Ice from MBV, which is basically just SUPER MENTHOL SWISH and there are a ton of plain-menthol equivalents (check your favorite vendor ) - and it really does help "draw a line" between juices. IF you're into menthol vapes.

I agree with what you just said.
I had a vendor include a free sample of some menthol enhancer and used only one drop.
The flavors are coming back to me now.
I weep with pleasure.
lol

There are worse days...when you can taste everything...and it all tastes awful. The ol' taste bud war...gotta love it!

 

[Rocketpunk]

Beer is my biggest issue with affecting taste buds. I drink at least a few every night to relax and unwind after a long shift, but it's during these few hours that my juices just don't agree with me. But I vape through it. In the morning they taste just as delicious.

Well, I tried pulling out my least favorite (read: dripped once and then hidden from memory) flavor: cappuccino. It tastes dusty just like all the others, only with an undercurrent of grease and what resembles rotten watermelon. Blech! So at least I know what was good/bad is still good/bad.
