Having a Bad Juice Day
So these past few days, I think I’ve been going through some ejuice difficulties, and it’s really peaked today. Nothing is really tasting good today, nothing seems to have good flavor, and none of the juices I have seem to have very much intensity.
Earlier in the week I was getting an irritated mouth, I suspect it was a particular juice I had recently gotten and had been vaping nearly full time, so I set that aside to not vape for a few days. I’ve used up all the tobaccos I really like about a week ago, and much of what I have around is OK, but not really yummy stuff.. My main vape is a DIY Peppermint Menthol, and when I vape it too much the flavor and menthol effect go away. I know every once in a while I have to take a break from it. So this is coinciding with me not really loving anything I have.
I guess to add to it my attys seemed to do that thing when suddenly the flavor just isn’t there. I dry burned one and it’s doing better, but I think I may have a bit of tongue fatigue. Nothings doing it for me today. I did have a brief moment of something good when I picked up a DIY strawberry shortcake which I haven’t touched in a few weeks and enjoyed the last couple drops out of the bottle. It wasn’t good, but I hadn’t ever been wild about this flavor, and tonight I actually thought maybe I should give it another look.
I think there’s also this anticipation of the big juice order traveling to my home via our friendly United States Postal Service. It’s got quite a few bottles of natural extracted tobacco flavors, something I really love, and I’m eager for their arrival. Perhaps my tongue and brain have made a deal behind my back and are forcing me to stake out my mailbox again.
I knew before I finished up that last bit of Vaperite Periqe last week I should have already had stock of tobacco juices steeping away and ready to fix me, but I guess it’s a live and learn experience.
This has happened before, and the best remedy I’ve found is to simply go with no flavor at all. Tomorrow I’ll be filling a tank with unflavored nicotine juice and spending most of the day vaping with no flavor. I’m sure by the evening I’ll have to check up on my taste buds, but things should be back to normal by Monday.
Next problem will be letting those tobaccos steep.
I know your pain. It seems every few weeks I get a couple days when everything either tastes bad or is mute. Just got over that a couple days ago. I was sent a innokin cartomizer to try and I guess I over filled it and didn’t expect it to have such a hot vape that it sent super hot juice and steam down my throat and fried my taste buds. That thing was a beast of a standard res. single coil though. ha
my fav is baja blast from ec blends….good luck
I find that a swish of Listerine, and a cold drink of water helps
I hope your vape tongue is better! some how I burnt the tip of my tongue and it is not fun right now.
I’ve had a few times when nothing seemed to taste right…luckily it isn’t all the time. Hopefully you’re not coming down with a cold or something; funky sinuses affect taste!
Been there done that bro. Man, bad juice days suck!
Hope that today your taste budzzz are hopping and the juice a flowin
I am fighting a bit of a cold, so things aren’t totally back to normal, however taking a break did do me a world of good.
I also got some good advice from the folks at ECA. During the course of this I found that cranberry juice did a great job of waking my mouth up as well.
such a bummer when things like this happen! isn’t it odd that before we where happy with nasty ciggys?
hmmm i think i may need to try your no flavor juice out in the future. glad you got your vape buds back [based on your comments in forum today] lol
try drinking a lot of water. Your taste buds are probably dehydrating and causing you not to taste. I get this when i wake up from drinking and vaping and not drinking water like i should. Usually i keep drinking water and the flavors start returning to normal
A good teeth brushing and mouth wash help with this for me.
Mouthwash definitely helps
I second the motion on the mouthwash. Plus its good for you hygiene!
Maybe it was a bad batch? theres always new flavors… Thats what I love about vaping!
Great blog, vape tounge happens to us all i think, and I know some days I’m never happy with the juice I have.
