Rediscover the Joy of Vaping: Solutions to Bring Flavor Back to Your E-Liquid

Have you stopped enjoying vaping because your e-liquid tastes strange, bland, or flavorless? Here’s how to identify the problem and fix it!

You No Longer Taste Your E-Liquid

Losing the taste of your e-liquid is an issue that most vapers will encounter at some point. Often, the problem isn't the e-liquid, but ourselves.

Loss of Taste and Quitting Smoking

If you are in the process of quitting smoking, your loss of taste is likely related to your cessation. Your taste buds, damaged by the heat of tobacco, begin to regenerate, which can cause a loss or distortion of taste.

Solutions:

1. Patience: Your taste buds will return to normal within a few days to a few weeks.
2. Mint E-Liquids: Mint is one of the few flavors generally spared by the loss of taste.

Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia, and Ageusia

If you haven’t touched a cigarette for a long time but find your vape bland, you might be experiencing hypogeusia (diminished taste), ageusia (loss of taste), or dysgeusia (distorted taste). These conditions can be caused by saturation of the taste buds.

Remedies:

1. Vary Flavors: Regularly change flavors to avoid your taste buds getting used to one.
2. Vape Light Mint: To avoid overwhelming your taste buds.
3. Use Less Sugary E-Liquids: Less sugar means less saturation.
4. Vape Less Frequently: Avoid chain vaping.
5. Rinse Your Mouth: Drink water to clean your taste buds.

The Problem is Your E-Liquid

If your e-liquid tastes bland, several factors could be the cause.

Expired Best Before Date (BBD)

E-liquid bottles have a BBD. Once expired, the flavors can lose their potency.

Solutions:

• Add Additives: To enhance the flavor.
• Buy a New E-Liquid: To get fresh flavors.

Sun Exposure

An e-liquid exposed to the sun can lose its flavor and change color.

Solution:

• Buy a New E-Liquid: And avoid exposing it to heat in the future.

DIY Preparation Error

If you make your own e-liquids, incorrect mixing or insufficient steeping time can result in a bland taste.

Solutions:

1. Properly Measure the Flavoring: Follow the recommended dosage.
2. Add Additives: Sweet or fresh additives to adjust the taste.
3. Let It Steep: Steeping time varies depending on the flavors.

The Problem is Your Equipment

If the issue isn't with you or your e-liquid, it could be your equipment.

High Power

Vaping at too high a power reduces flavor.

Solution:

• Lower the Watts: To maximize flavors.
• Vape in MTL: Mouth-to-lung for better flavor delivery.

Worn Out Coil

A worn-out coil can cause a loss of flavor.

Solution:

• Change the Coil: Inspect and replace if the cotton is gray or black.

Conclusion

Rediscovering the joy of vaping is possible by correctly identifying the cause of the loss of flavor. Whether it’s your taste buds, the quality of your e-liquid, or the state of your equipment, there are simple solutions to fix the problem. You’ll be able to enjoy vaping again in no time!
