So I've received a sample order of juice, four juices in all, and the day I pull them from the mail, I realize that I'm coming down with a flu. So my sense of smell and taste are all kinds of off, I haven't tried any of the juices. It's been three days now. This sucks. How do I pass the time to taste this juice? I can't even rebuild any of my atty's cause I won't be able to tell if they're done right. What do you guys do when you're sick?
Woe, is me

Dang! I'm sorry you're sick in beautiful Monterey! I lived there for about a year and loved it! Do what you do when you're sick any other time. Get lots of rest, hydrate, clear liquids and wait it out. Flu has to run it's course in it's own time. If you have unflavored juice or juice you don't like, I'd do that just in case you get sick. It'll lessen the chance of guilt by association. (Ever get sick, eat something and get really sick? Not because of what you ate but because you were already sick and then you don't want to eat that anymore cause last time it went down it also came up?) Yep, guilt by association...
Feel better soon!

I second the vape your least favorite juice suggestion along with fluids and rest.
third vape the flavors you dont care for much since you cant taste as well currently, and save the flavors you like for when you can taste.
Agreed. When an upper respiratory illness throws the "off" switch on your sense of taste/smell, then it's time to vape up all the "what was I thinking?" flavors sitting in the bottom of your e-liquid drawer.
The only problem I've found with this strategy is that I don't get sick nearly as much as I did when I smoked. In two years and four months, I've only had two cases of flu (yes, I get the flu shot every year, but these were late-season influenzas against which the vaccination did no good) and no colds. So I've quite a few bottles of "what was I thinking?" lying around unvaped.

Hope you feel better soon ! - Thats a great idea guys, im deffinitely going to save anything i dont like for when im sick opposed to just chucking it or vaping something I dont like !
Sorry to hear you're sick, that's definitely no fun! Wonderful idea about using up juices you don't like when you can't taste anything, though!
As stated vape menthol, which I hate, or rough it out and let the flu run it's course.
That is a great idea to vape unliked juices, I have some vanilla and banana waffles that don't get much love. I don't have any menthol flavors, though, maybe I should order some.
came down with the change of season cold yesterday. over 18 hours in and out of bed. in the old days i would have smoked the stinkers all day. i have taken about 5 puffs total on my PV in over 18 hours. sucks having a cold. awesome i am no longer addicted to the point that i have to puff no matter how bad i feel. and i notice i am not missing the PV at all.
As others mentioned, vape a juice that you don't particularly like, but if I'm really sick I don't vape at all.
