What's up with my taste buds???

[hnyb0210]

Have my buds gone on vacation?! For about the last 24 hrs, none of my vapes seem to taste like they did - it's like everything is dulled out, very little flavor. Am I losing my mind??

you might be coming on with the flu or some sort of cold, when that happens, I usually can't taste anything. I usually taste it by exhaling through my nose.

It happens every now and then. Sucks more when you are a new vaper--no worries it will pass. You should keep a strong menthol around so at least you can get the coolness.

In the meantime vape all the flavors you are not that fond of so you don't waste the good stuff.

hnyb0210, that is normal in the first few weeks. Stick with it. By smoking, we have abused our sense of taste and smell for a long time. Drink more water than you ever have, PG/VG can be dehydrating.

Eat a really salty cracker? Swish some lemon/citrus juice in your mouth?

Drink more water (did I mention that?)

Yep, thats normal Dont' worry, your buds will be fine again in a day or so. Be aware that it will likely happen again sometime in the future. Its a great time to vape some of those juices that arent your favorites since you cant taste them much anyways

I've had it happen several times. Why? I don't know. I wish I did. Your taste will come back. Make sure your hardware is working 100 percent. Good battery, VV if you have one, NEW atomizer, cartomizer or whatever you're using. Hang in there.

Yes it is unfortunate but your taste bud's are indeed on vacation. It is pretty common early on shouldn't last more then a day or so. You can wake them up by switching to some other really strong flavor. A lot of people use atomic fireball for this. If you see Vapor but taste nothing its a good bet that's what's up.

I feel like that all the time and then the next morning I come back and they are at 200%. Chalk it up to stupid body parts that are too dumb to realize that they are getting the flava!

So glad to know I haven't lost my mind (or my buds!) Guess this is a good time for that Johnson Creek Marcado that doesn't rock my world (too clove-y and spicy for me). It's kind of a scary feeling when things that tasted fantastic a day or two ago suddenly taste pretty much like nothing I'm doing so well on this journey & I don't want anything to screw it up. Fortunately I don't find myself wanting an analog at all; just wanting FLAVOR!! I hope my buds return to me before I get my new order from Rawr

Yep, tons of vapor, but really not much flavor at all - wow, this is really frustrating!!! I'm vaping like a demon because nothing is satisfying me.

I've had this problem too many times to count. Every time, I try to pinpoint ways to end it. I find mellow tasting foods/drinks help. Milk, cheese, bread. The last time was 3 days ago, and I tripled my water intake and that helped a lot! I also suggest avoiding spicy foods and carbonated drinks. Just my 2 cents.

Thank you - I'm bumping up my water intake big time & totally avoiding carbonation. I swear this all started Saturday night when I ate @ Applebee's!

I've been doing this for awhile and taste bud burnout is frequent with me. That's the reason I generally have 2 - 3 flavors going at once at any given time. Even with that I still get bud burnout from time to time.

"Bud Burnout" - I like that! I've been rotating flavors like every five minutes in hopes of finding something that hits the spot Even my really creamy vanilla is falling kind of flat. Everything tasted a little burnt, so I filled fresh cartos this morning, etc. Guess I just have to wait for it to pass, unfortunately.

BTW I love your avatar!

A lot of us keep some peppermint or menthol juice around for times like this.Your tastebuds should kick back in soon.Good Luck
