Hi i started vaping about 6 weeks ago and cut down on the rollies every day
Friday was the last day i had a rollie on Saturday i couldnt taste my liquids
Tried loads of different juices new atomizers and cartridges nothing like vaping fresh air
Brushed teeth and tongue tried mouth wash get a slight taste first thing in the morning but then gone again
Food and drink not as tasty as anyone else had this happen
Please help really confused

its totally normal Jacquie.... its a result of your taste buds coming back to life..... the only juice i could taste at this point was menthol.... give it a few days to a week and you will have your taste back better than ever and hightened sense of smell to boot

[Jacquie]

Thanks for taking your time to reply Gordy much appreciated glad to know taste buds will recover was getting worried

[MIDIManNI]

I found exactly the same...it takes a fair while for taste buds to recover and so at the start I used mostly Menthol and RY4.

Now I use a number of different Flavours and can actually taste them now!

Persevere and all will be good in the end.

Later..

Your voice seems to be getting a little clearer too, or is that my eyes?

Stick with it Jacquie it will get better and easier, honestly.
Lots of us suffer in the beginning with taste, but just you wait, it will be sooooooooo worth it.

Also just want to point out, I get days every now and again where my favourite juices just don't taste of much... I tend to switch to something else for a day or so and then all is well on the tastebud front.
Just thought you need to be pre-warned for the future
Happy vaping
Jules

Thank you Jules they are still playing up i have a strawberry sweet in my mouth at the moment got through a whole pack of fruit polos while vaping have ordered some more juices so fingers crossed

After about a month of vaping I started to feel decidedly peaky but after 4 or 5 days everything settled down and it's been plain sailing ever since.

It might have been because I'd been shoving different stuff into my lungs than I had been for the previous couple of decades or, then again, I might have caught a bug - I'm not one of those people who says "I broke my leg while on a skiing holiday and it's definitely the fault of e-cigs" but it made me wonder.

At the time I blamed it on switching from those awful E Health things to a 'proper' Tornado with its 'proper' e-liquid as opposed to the mix of air, beige and gnat's spittle which had been in the E Health cartos. The again, I'm Irish.

Stick with it, Jacquie. We'll be waiting on the other side.

My sense of taste and smell have improved drastically since quitting ciggies. It does take time though, weeks, even months.
Since those early days of Tatty's 'gnat spittle' type flavour in my cigstar starter kit, I've turned into a bit of a vape-juice connosiur! I like what I like and can't stand the rest
I Hate RY4 with a passion!
Struggling ATM, as have a bit of a sore throat/sniffly cold thing going on! Thinking I will pick up some menthol mist at Vapefest tomorrow, till I get my sense of taste back!

[cotc2001]

It's a strange thing getting your taste buds back.
I've been vapeing i.e not had a roll up for nearly 3 weeks now (although at times I have to admit i've been tempted) and one thing that has really shocked me is Milk!!!!
Whilst smoking I loved the stuff. Couldn't get enough ice cold cravendale full fat milk down my neck.
Now i've stopped smoking it tastes bitter to me, very strange!!!!!
