For the record - I'm back to about 95% (after sniffing my Vick's inhaler a couple times before :vapor::drool:ing just now), so I shall continue to hang in there and wait out ":pervy:the tongue:pervy:"

Back down to 75-80% taste again today:mad:
Got so many great liquids steeped already, too!:blink:
Placed an order with Velvet Cloud Vapor (100% VG with a bit of distilled water added - supposedly great for tanks) to see if I'm having PG issues (and just to experiment... plus I'm heavily digging the sweeter flavors:p)

Sorry to hear your buds are nuked. Please clarify for me and the Halo Nation Cult what I "bolded" in your last post.

The juice you ordered: Any NIC in it? Any flavor in it? Or is it just 100% VG and nothing else? I'm asking for a very good reason and YOU WILL be tested :) LOL

I think your issue can be significantly mitigated by simply vaping Halos Fusion which should be/contains the lowest NIC you are currently vaping and has about a 50/50 mix of PG/VG.

For the last week I have been using this technique with my own mix which is: 50/50 PG/VG PLUS 0.3 MG NIC. Quality VG like Halos or my own tastes slightly "sweet" and that's exactly what I get in my mix/vape AND I get the NIC so I don't go into withdrawel. Vaping this brew gives my buds a chance to rest and recover so I vape this mix about 3 times per day. When I switch back to regular juice I notice that the "flavors" taste better in some juices. NOTE: I've read on ECF of a few people that vape this mix all day long and love it.

HTH

:)

These VCV liquids are sweet flavors (as I mentioned)... i.e. - Candybar, Nightshift, Vanilla Custard, etc.
I didn't order these to "cure" or even help me get through ":pervy:the tongue:pervy:"... just as a test to see if I enjoy the lack of PG once my -:pbuds:p come back.
Before ":pervy:the tongue:pervy:" kicked in, I was SERIOUSLY enjoying the heck out of the sweeter flavors (like my much-mentioned Kringle/Belgian Mix, as well as the AiV's)... even more than the Torque & other tobacco flavors I got (which I like MOST of as well, & vape equally).
Truly, I HOPE beyond HOPE that this'll just work itself out (by my doing all the proper hydration/biotine/tongue-scraping, etc. that I've been DOING for the last 14+ days)... and I've even added the Baking Soda Rinse every 2 hours to the mix... but to be honest, I'm reading a WHOLE LOTTA posts of people who don't taste their vapes for months & months after this kicks in.
None of ":pervy:the tongue:pervy:" has been a shock, except the Duration... and the fact that it keeps coming within a BILLIMETER (if such a thing existed) of being gone, then Worse again by far the next day.
I KNOW I'm rambling again, and I apologize... it's just that no one seems to understand that I do a TON of bike riding (in SW Florida), so I think it's going to be a constant losing battle with the whole hydration thing.
It is Literally Not Possible for me to ingest more water than I have been, and when :pmy buds:p seem to be just about recovered - they're done for again if I go for a ride (pounding water to an INSANE & UNENJOYABLE degree:glug:)
I haven't even ridden in like five days (which sucks:mad:... especially since it's finally getting down to the mid-60's at night:thumb:)
Whine, whine, whine.
I'm boring myself to tears (I can only imagine YER impressions).

I know it's ......ed, but I'm not gonna place another order for Fusion right now (and wait a week for it).
I'm skipping the bike rides for awhile to see if I can work through this.
Today, since I couldn't taste ANY of my juices (even Kringle's) I decided to just fill a minitank with my Psycho 36mg Fusion & just take 5 or 6 puffs every hour.
It Does taste Not Horrible (but WAY strong, so being careful), and I can Actually Taste It.

Surely I have received an "F".
Possibly even an "F" "U" from the Halo Cult & Mentor that is @Boy.
Sorry to disappoint.

I'm sticking with it, but I'm gonna be :mad: if it's all an expensive exercise in futility once (hopefully) :pmy buds:p come back for a few days & I screw it all up by going for one a my long rides.

Yeah, I don't know how we got into talkin about NOT liking Midnight Apple.
I think it's a really good tobacco flavor, just not something I wanna vape ALL the time, due to its apple-ness. Before steeping my batch tasted pretty good.

Haven't gone back to it yet because I'm having INSANELY ANNOYING Vaper's Tongue:)vapor::pervy:)/Fatigue issues.:mad:
So I can't taste ANYTHING right these days about 85% of the time.

REALLY sucks, 'cause I've got LOTS of great Juices I'm sittin on (from Halo, AiV, Space Jam Robo Fuel, Suicide Bunny, Darkest Days & Mt Baker Vapor)...

on the bright side -if my taste buds ever return to the way they were those glorious FIRST SIX DAYS of :vapor::drool:... my Juices will be fully steeped.
(TRYING to remain positive about this, but I'm actually ......-off, annoyed, and freaking out a bit with disappointment... not to mention that vaping in this state is UTTERLY UNENJOYABLE - and has led me to half a pack of analogs yesterday, and four today... LAME!!!:mad:)

Update: Go figure - after about a week of steeping, the apple flavor has matured and I am actually enjoying this now.
Tastes like Torque56 with green apple overtones now. I expect it will get even better with time. Glad I didn't toss it.

Yeah, it's a pretty good one, I think.
Like the strong tobacco with its apple-ness to top it off.
Glad U didn't toss it.:D

Hey @TREATS!!!

Vapers Tonge:


BTW, I'm not a Dr. or Nurse. :) Just OLD! :) lol BTW, their is also "Vapers Throat" which is a term I just invented! LOL Feels kinda like a semi light soar throat and I use many of the above techniques to combat it and I'm willing to bet money that lots of folks have my newly minted "Vapers Throat" True?

Yeah, I had the "Vaper's Throat" a coupla days ago. It sucked, but I took some Tylenol, drank tons of H2o, and laid off the crack pipe...I mean, Triton for awhile!

Sat down with 9 tanks:
Tribeca (Halo)
Five Foot Falls (AiV)
Twisted Java (Halo)
Torque56 (Halo)
Starship 1 (Space Jam Robo Fuel)
Black & White Cookie (AiV)
Turkish Tobacco (Halo)
Cupcake City (AiV)
Kringle's Belgian Cocoa-Blast Mix (Halo)

Holy VapOrgasm!
@Treats!!!!! - O brother! Oiy Double Oiy LOL :) While I'm happy to learn that your taste is back might I respectfully suggest or even BEG YOU NOT to vape all the flavors you listed in a relatively short period of time. That means you don't "Sat down with 9 tanks" please :)

Why?

Take notes please and BTW, the last test I gave you didn't turn out so favorably. You're going to fatigue and or nuke your taste buds. NONE of our buds are made of kryptonite for gods sake. Think back to when you smoked stinkys. One flavor or max two. Even flavorists/mixologist fatgue their taste buds and need to take breaks and or use various techniques to mitigate the issue. Our buds are not made to handle all those different juices in a relatively short period of time. Even eating a multicourse meal at a fancy shmansy restaurant requires clearing your pallet/buds between courses with sherbert/sorbet for gods sake.

How about some moderation? How about just 2 or 3 flavors in an hour to see how you handle it? Their is also nothing wrong with a few short hits of a new juice and then set it aside to steep and then vape it in a month or two. It's a joyfull experience to rediscover an old friend that you have not vaped in a month. I just did this very thing with Voodoo which I had not vaped in a month. It's was marvelous to hold hands again with one of my old flames. YUM!

SeniorBoy, I admire your admirable determination to learn these young'uns, but these young'uns don't listen to nobuddy. Take my young'un for example...no, really...take him....lol :vapor:

O.k.
Guess I'm Utterly Hopeless.:confused:
Thought it would be better to take two puffs off one.
Two puffs off another.
& so on.
"Don't stick with One Flavor!" "Mix it up!" "Give yer taste buds a break by alternating flavors!"
now it's "Stick with One or Two! Why don't you get it, you Dumbass noob???"
I Fully Taste & Enjoy the First two puffs on every flavor... Consistently.
Have from day one.
After awhile puffin the same flavor - I wanna taste Another Flavor.
Guess I got it all wrong (as usual. Story of my life:blink:)
For the record - I don't chain-vape.
I sit down outside, about once an hour for a few minutes (& yes, on that ONE occasion I had 9 contrasting yummy flavors @ 2 puffs a piece = 18 puffs. Seems this will be the ruination of :pervy:my buds:pervy:)

Please post results of my previous failings (you'll have to speak in plain English - very slowly, as if speaking to a learning disabled 3-year-old, because it seems that my Epic Failings are evident to All but Me.)

& that Fusion worked (5 puffs an hour @ 36mg - All I Had) in conjunction with 4 or 5 Baking Soda Rinses in a 24-hour period.
Got a little bottle of 18mg on its way (be here Monday) to give my taste buds a break here & there throughout the day as part my new strict regimen.

I will now only vape 2 Liquids at a time, sensai, as per your instruction:blink: (even though the others have tasted so good:drool: these last few days.)

*EDIT*
& BTW - I was only sharing my excitement at being able to Taste & Enjoy my Liquids after two weeks (+) of VT. Wanted to share my happiness here after all the annoying griping about VT posts prior to that.
(Have U ever gone to a B&M and tried 9 different flavors... drinking a bit of water in between? Guess it's a pretty outlandish concept... I shall henceforth hang my head in shame with the dunce-cap in the corner of the classroom that is this thread... What's the name of this thread again? Oh yeah:
Whooooa!!! It's here!!! And is it ever yummy!!! Triton/G6 NooB reports:)

With Voodoo, you get a different juice with each new puff :)

Puff.

Toot.

Drag.

Hit.
Haha!
Funny you should mention that, cause I just rinsed out my 3rd attempt at liking it.
I've had it since the 10th (like most of my other Halo juices) so I would THINK it'd be steeped by now, but I've gotta give it some more time.
I'm not giving up on it due to its rabid fanbase, but to me SO FAR it's got a nasty twang to it. (I've done the cap-off bit overnight 3 times & after the 3rd one it smelled ALMOST doable... yet still a bit cough syrupy - same with Southern Classic.)
Seems I'm gonna have to learn some patience.:blink:
NOT BAD though - how outta 12 Halo flavors I've ordered, only two haven't been great for me. 83% success rate!:p
I suspect I'll end up liking at least One of those two down the road.
Time will tell.
