Will taste buds ever come back?

[Droopy421]

Quit smoking analogs 4 days ago and I'm having trouble with my taste buds. One vape ill taste the great flavors then within minutes I can't taste anything for awhile then all of a sudden ill get the awesome taste again. Some flavors stick around longer but all of them disappear a bit. When changing flavors ill usually get a good taste on the first hit then its gone. Has anyone else had this experience? And will it become more steady as my buds begin working again? Has anyone found any tricks to help with this issue? Thanks all!!

Your buds will come back soon enough, they need time to heal from all that burning paper and leafs. I'd say give it a month or so.

Make sure to drink lots of water and stay hydrated until you body can adjust.

Your taste buds will come back. This is common so don't worry. You should get them back just in time for the dreaded vapors tongue to strike you

I just drink lots of water to avoid the dreaded "vapor's mouth." vaping can cause dehydration which causes muted flavors while vaping. You have to stay really hydrated. Sometimes I drink gatorade and then switch back to water. You can drink whatever you normally do but try to get water in there as well. Good Luck to ya

Its actually quite funny. Since quitting cigs and started vaping I started drinking so much water because from what I read It will help me get better taste while my buds are in the rebuilding process. So vaping has not only helped me quit smoking but also started me drinking more h2o which I never really drank enough anyway. Go Vape!!!!

It's losing the taste/flavor of your juice

As long as you are switching flavors throughout the day, you don't have to worry about it.
I have 4 different mods going with 4 different flavors and I only use one for about 5 minutes before I grab a different one.

What happens is the "flavor" really comes from your nose (olfactory glands).
You mouth only tastes sweet, sour etc.
Like having a cold and you can't taste the flavors.
Anyway .. using the same flavor all day gets boring to your mind, and it then shuts the flavor out, like white noise.

Have you every been in a house with an unpleasant odor? ...
Have you noticed that if you stayed there long enough, you didn't notice it anymore ??
Same thing ... brain gets bored with the same-o.. same-o and turns it off.

Some people lose it for days, some for weeks.
There are things you can do to shock the glands back into service, like taking the lid off of the coffee can, and breathing the fresh fumes of ground coffee, scrubbing you teeth and tongue, eating hot peppers, sipping pickle juice ... vapers have tried it all.

Just keep a rotation going and you'll be fine.
Variety makes for better vaping anyway.
