Why can't I taste the flavors?

[maureengill]

I haven't been able to taste any of my favorite vapes all week...I just realized I've been using the same atty's since October when I started vaping...

I changed out my atties for fresh ones last night and wow...I can't believe the difference. I'm going to have to do this more often.

I personally blow a a little out of my nose when I exhale and sometime wiggle my tongue up and down wafting it around my mouth usually I can taste liquid way better doing one or both of these...

also if you think that there is absolutely no flavor hold it in your mouth and compress it with you tongue that way the flavor actually hits the receptors on your tongue fully (when i do this with my fruit flavors it tastes like I am eating a real fruit but 10x stronger)

Just remember that these particles are smaller than smoke there for don't sit on your tongue as easy making for less flavor... and i have found you cant vape exactly how you used to smoke

Also I do not think that there is any way to have the vapor taste exactly correct if you just inhale like a normal analog... I have vaped 3drops of flavourart right on my addy and it doesn't taste right if you just inhale like its an analog.

Okay I just have to say this:

While I think it's really cute that everyone is willing to accept the blame for not being able to taste these products (smoker taste-buds, bad choice in PV, it's Monday, etc.) the reality is that these products are designed for smokers. Every site I see says that non-smokers should not purchase these devices. Shouldn't the manufacturer take that into account?

we wouldn't accept that excuse anywhere else in our lives, can't taste your pie it's your taste buds. Can't see, it's not your glasses it's your eyes. Silliness.

If you're going to market a product to me, the smoker, then make it work FOR ME not for your non-smoking cronies at the giggle lab. If you can't do that, tear the dang flavor label off and just sell it by the nicotine content.
