Wrecked Taste buds.

[bic247]

Sooo...i figured that my taste buds were too used to my Smooth from BMV so i swapped it out vaped Hype from AVE for 2 days and now i cant taste it at all (the smooth) two totally different flavors here only in the back of my tongue, it seems as if my front taste buds are out of commission for now...anyone had this issue and resolved it somehow?

Uggh. I have taste bud issues pretty frequently. It helps to drink a LOT of water, use a tongue scraper and perhaps vape a strong menthol for awhile. I've read that some people vape unflavored juice too. Hope it gets better for you. I know how frustrating and blah it is!

 

[bic247]

it is very much so, this hype though i dunno, might be sizzling my buds idk whats making it do it didnt really like it anyway its all good ill try some strong menthol, any ideas where i can look at some unflavored liquid?

It happens to almost all of us. Why it happens and when? No one has come up with a good answer yet. You just have to vape through it until it passes. Fortunately for me the first time lasted about four days and the last time it happened it was only an issue for 48 hours.

As CrystalClaire suggested menthol works for me too. It's one of the few flavors I can taste when everything else goes meh. Clove is another one that works for me. Maybe try a strong peppermint... Find a couple few flavors out of your usual comfort zone - strong flavors - that you are likely to taste. For me, especially that first time it happened, it was better for me to vape an unusual flavor I could taste, than to be vaping myself silly while tasting nothing at all. Vaping can quickly lose it's interest if you can't taste any vape.

I Tried a carto i had filled a while ago with a really minty menthol i got off NLV and it doesn't seem to help much actually it seems to mute the flavor even more so to be quite honest that nasty peach seemed to bring more to the table although i been so unhappy and grouchy all day as well as miserable just downright in a bad mood almost sure its either because it has little to no throat hit for me/ its just not menthol, has any menthol vapers found this to be true for them early in the game? when i was smoking analogs (especially when money just wasn't there i had to settle for some Marlboro's i got off my mother during that time) i used to hate smoking anything that wasn't menthol for 3-4 days, id also experience withdraws even though i was still getting my nicotine fix and after that when i eventually got my menthol's again everything was perfect, i know its all psychological but I'm just curious is all if anyone else has experience this dissatisfaction when there taste buds just quit out on them from just vaping to much of a menthol flavor over a period of time and then having to switch to something else that wasn't menthol?

(sorry for the long paragraph i just felt that details were necessary to my problem so as to better receive help from you all)

I deal with this more often then not. Then I go into a frenzy trying a bunch of different juice until I can actually taste one. But I scrub my tongue and everything. The unfortunate thing is though, I hate water, lol. So most of my liquid is from juice or tea.

Cinnamon brings my taste buds alive when I need them to start working again.

 

[ChrispyCritter]

I don't think you're "burning" your taste buds I think it's just nicotine numbs them...

 

[deezdrama]

Happens to me all the time and really sucks... dont know if its cause i quit analogs only 5 weeks ago, but i can find a juice i love and then the very next day its bland to me and or doesnt taste the same

I don't think it has anything to do with your taste buds. Most of your "taste" is actually smell and it's up in your nose. It happened to me too and then went away. I don't know the reason, but I suspect sinuses more than anything. Maybe that's why cinnamon and menthol "wakes" up your taste buds, because they kind of clear up the nasal passages. Like what happens when you suck on a cough drop.

 

[bic247]

Cinnamon? like a cinnamon vape or perhaps regular cinnamon, call me stupid but i picture myself having to dump a small mound of cinnamon on my tongue lol, for sure the menthol is not working for me sadly.

 

[JenWill]

This happens to me all the time too.

I usually have 2 carto's and my tank with me and rotate because of that. I keep one of the carto's loaded with a cinnamon/menthol juice for all times because of it. LOL When I notice I can't taste my other flavors, I switch to that one for a while, drink more water than normal and chew a piece of sugar free gum. After a while the flavors come back.

I can barely taste anything right now and I'm hating it. I have a glass of water next to me which I swish a bit before I swallow but it isn't helping much. Even what I considered stronger flavors aren't registering.

I get it also and menthol seems to dull it more.

I've been sipping Belvedere and the flavor is improving quite a bit. Nothing like some good vodka to cleanse your palette. Now I just wish I had some Iranian Beluga and some toast points!

u can try brushing your teeth with baking soda and just rinse out very very well, its salty as hell
but it works for me like a charm. am about to drink myself though
