Relative noob

[Kingpo2000]

Hi all, i'm an almost noob, i've been vaping since the end of October 2017 and it's been a godsend on giving up the smokes, however the more i get into this the more frustrating it becomes.

I started off with a simple kroma a mod and the bog standard tank it came with (axiom), and i vaped a blackcurrant tunes style juice religiously and with no VT.
Then i wanted to mix it up a bit, but finding juice that i liked and that didn't kill my throat was and still is a lot harder than it sounds.
Long story short, I'm now on a revenger x, with an nrg tank/baby beast/atlantis evo, now i find myself getting bored of juice and flavour on an almost daily basis and wanting something new constantly, and with my hard to please tastebuds its proving costly and annoying. My local b&m's are great and really helpful, and even with a choice of 30 odd juices to try on any given day, i find 1 maybe 2 at a push that i like. This is good but then after a few days i find i get bored of the flavour too and start getting VT quickly. The b&m's don't change the juice on their testers weekly, so i buy nice sounding ones of t'internet, only to be mostly disappointed with the odd happy surprise. I can't taste any just jam flavours, coffee, most fruits, custards, doughnut etc - and I'm trying basic juice, mid range and premiums.

How often do you guys change juices? Am i being fussy? Am i completely alone in how little i can taste? i'm well aware all tastebuds are different but i don't want to get bored of vaping and hits the ciggies again.

I'm having to run all 3 tanks at various times through the day, my go to juice tasted amazing but slowly getting bored/accustomed to it and need a new adv.

Anyone else experienced this pain after a few months in?

Basically, i need help!! Thanks in advance and from what I've read so far you guys are a friendly helpful bunch

Hello @Kingpo2000 , Nice to meet you mate !!!

Hi and welcome bud

What you are experiencing is quite commonplace amongst vapers. The need for new and exciting flavours is a problem we all experience from time to time. However, not being entirely satisfied with the array of flavours available to me has never made me want to go back to cigarettes as they taste completely bland compared to vaping.

Sometimes just plain over-vaping can cause you to get sick of everything. Leaving it alone, even if only for a few hours, can help remind you of how enjoyable it can be.

A lot of us on here are into DIY for our juices, and with a plethora of different concentrates on the shelf, a new flavour is only ever a few minutes away if you're getting the bug for something new.

I doubt very much that you’re alone on this mate. I have three flavours that I absolutely swear by, and they’ve taken me 4/5 months to find.

Like you, I also have several RDAs and tanks in constant rotation. Variety is a good thing, although it can get pricey, I’ll grant you that.

All-in-all, I wouldn’t beat yourself up. Just read the juice reviews on the site and you’ll soon get an idea of what’s worth your money and what isn’t.

Hi, welcome, you're definitely not alone. Reading your intro maybe you're trying too hard? However, case you have a spare atty you could dedicate to a menthol and/mint flavour, i'd recommend to try to vape this once or twice a day, whenever the once tasty liquids looses taste. It helped me, and seemingly lots of fellow vapors.
Or you cud try 'Tongue Reset' from Dexters Juice lab, case you dont like standard menthol aroma.

Don't forget, your taste is still developing back from smoking.

morning all, thank you for the sound advice, i'd completely forgotten my taste was still changing from giving them sticks up!

i have recently mixed a bit of DIY which is steeping nicely and starting to smell spot on, i think more mixing is needed for flavours currently suited to me, and i do dedicate one tank to my blackcurrant tunes/menthol juice, to refresh and because i do still enjoy it.

i like the sound of this tongue reset, might get on that!

and don't get me wrong, i do still love the vaping and i think if i even had 1 cig that would be too many, there just isn't the desire for that! i am going to try all the standard VT helping methods today to try regain flavour.

have a good day everyone

I get the dreaded VT very often and find nothing much helps asides drinking plenty of water and leaving the vape down for an hour or two.I've tried lemon juice,Bicarb mouthwash,coffee sniffing,,, the whole lot.When you can't taste Heisenberg mixed with BlackJack aka Heisenjack you know you've vaped a little too much.

i think my best bet is to leave the vape alone for a bit, i drink bucket loads of water already, brushing my teeth seems to do the trick as a short term fix worst case scenario!

i now need willpower to not touch this thing ha
