Seems like I can't taste the flavor in my ejuice anymore. Juices I use to like (RY4) taste like garbage now. Anyone else have this problem? I've cleaned my atomizers and used fresh batteries, etc. I have juices from a variety of different supplers and they all taste bland. If I tell my girlfriend to try something, she can defiantly taste it.

I have a similar issue. It's not that they taste bland but instead on some of the flavors I LOVED (and of course ordered a bunch of), I now can't stand the taste. To the point of I really can't stand them. Since I'm using cartomizers, always new atomizers and no crossover of flavors. I'm having a difficult time finding a flavor I like and keep on liking past a few days. Frustrating but not sure what to do about it.

You've burned your taste buds - do you still smoke analogs?

I use to really love RY4, now it makes me want to puke, (before my taste buds, went whack)

when atomizers get a little worn out, they'll lose some of their ability to give good flavor,,, try a new (unused) atomizer.

Also, i've noticed even with new attys that, for instance, the 555 i hold so dear just tastes like nothing after a few days vaping... I try to switch to something else that is completely different (fruits, coffee, chocolate, hilton, RY4), for about a week or so, and then, when i come back to my baby (555),, it welcomes me with open arms..

Could be atomizer, if not, it actually is your taste buds and you need to trick them with flavors that are further away from what it is you want to taste...

This is also a problem that I have been having as well. Its like it is bland, like I am vaping nothing. I have tried new attys, new carts, fresh battery. Nothing seems to change it.

I brush 3 times a day (at least). I have been using a tongue scraper since I was 11 (ocd Aunt who pushed her ocd on me) and even clean the insides of my cheeks.

My teeth are so well taken care of infact that my dentist says that my appointments are such a disappointment. I go in once a year even and have him do a deep cleaning under my gums.

So.... I know it isnt anything to do with that at all.


Any other ideas?

I notice on the videos that a lot of you guys drink alot. I can definitely see a need to clear your palate, as the pg/vg whatever seems to coat everything. I used to have a hacking dry cough, and as soon as I started vaping, it went away. BEFORE I gave up analogs, so the juice is definitely coating my tastebuds, throat.

What's the best drink to clear your palate so you can taste the next flavor? I'm a black coffee or water drinker, but they don't seem to do much. Thinking coke maybe?

I have this problem also, for me it was the polly that was toast. I seems when it gets all compressed it only lets the pg/vg through and the flavor stays in the filler. I change my polly every 8 to 10 hours and this lets the flavor come back through. You can get use to a flavor also it seems, which its time to change to new flavor and new polly. Some flavors like 555 I cant taste at all seems very bland to me. It's possible you have the filler packed too tight also, some carts come this way I've found. Use way less filler than you think you need, pull out what filler you think is way less then take half of that lol.

:lol:

@klack - want my JC Cherry? :D

:D On a similar note, I tried that JC Chocolate mint again, a flavor I marked with a star indicating I liked it. Tastes like stale almonds to me now! Loved the EM Cherry and EM Chocolate though, because of their pronounced spiciness, but I ran out :(

Maybe you just spoiled me on those flavors and its all your fault!

I had this problem with Vanilla too. I used to love it. Suddenly it just taste weird, like sucking cheap perfume into my mouth. I had to throw two bottles away.

I wouldn't throw bottles of liquid away. I have found that these flavor issues happen to me too. I have also found, that the flavor cycle can make a full circle. It tastes great, then it tastes bad, then it tastes great again.

I don't have a solution to this, I just wanted to toss in there, that throwing away bottle of liquid seems a little reckless. :) At least swap 'em. :D
