Nearly failed last night

[vodkaredbull]

4 weeks tomorrow. I quit.

The number of times I went to put my jacket on last night to go buy a pack of fags. It was only my 12yr old lad balling me out that stopped me.

Been having some awful problems getting a hit. As I posted on another thread. My Taste buds are all over the place.

I have just got though from mr postman a few samples from Vapourtime Red Bull, kiwi Mix & banana. And last night ordered Pineapple from Pixie Juice.

Currently puffing on the Red Bull abit sweet at the moment.

Going to go to the Wicked Shop in abit and get a couple more flavours to try and help me through this period of what I can only describe as Someone give me a fag. And let me bin the e-cig

I started of brill on this - but the past week I have steadily gone very downhill with it.

When does the tastebud phase end

Hope you get past it soon, but it's great that you've resisted the fags. Wish I had a real shop locally to pop out to!

I've been having the same problem for the last couple of weeks. First month all well and good but since then I haven't really enjoyed vaping anything although I still haven't picked up a fag Just keep reminding myself how I used to stink like an old ashtray and that's enough to keep me from not throwing the towel in. Hang in there!

Truepure Menthol by Halo usually does it for me (not cheap tho), mix with fruit of your choice, eg - Mandarin

Noooooo dont give in, my taste buds went on Friday, i vaped menthol as everyone suggested, it did help even though i dont like menthol, yesterday i had i cartomiser, 2 clearomisers on my Riva and 2 look alike ecigs on the go just trying to get a taste of something other than menthol, my desk at work looked like an ecig shop..i have drunk plenty of water, brushed my tongue, used mouth wash, eaten spicy foods, ready salted crisps, all to get the buds going again, must admit i can taste a little bit better today but it's not back to normal, hang in there, you will regret having a normal fag, at times over the weekend and especially yesterday i really was tempted to have a real fag to get some kind of taste, but i didn't and i am so glad i didn't. Hang in there, you are not alone

I must admit that I had a drag on my wifes fag about Thursday last week, not because I was craving a real cigarette but more out of curiosity - I'm glad I did because it tasted horrible, very much a chemical taste to it rather than what I could remember of it and what I was expecting. That stopped my curiosity because I had realised what a God damn awful thing I had been smoking all this time.

I have been getting the cravings for more nicotine in the last day or so and may have to vamp that up a bit, I suppose that's because I'm now getting used to the vapour - I don't know as it's still very early days for me yet but one thing is for sure, I've no intention of trying another drag of my wifes fag again - yuk!!

Hi there, I really sympathise. I had terrible taste bud problems on and off for the first 3-4 weeks of vaping - touchwood all is fine now and really enjoying vaping - I am so glad I did not give in and return to the stinkies.

After about the first week of starting vaping I completely lost the flavour from any and all e-liquid apart from menthol which although I could taste it was not very pleasant. All food and drink was as normal, it seemed to only be vaping which was affected. I tried everything, drinking water by the gallon, brushing my teeth (and tongue) a dozen times a day, using listerine mouthwash, eating mentholyptus sweets, eating salty crisps etc etc. I also spent a small fortune of different e-liquid brands, flavours, vg/pg ratios, cartomisers, clearomisers, batteries including a twist for the variable voltage that some folks said would help.

A week later (yes a whole week!) the taste started to return and I thought I was 'cured'. But a week after that the cycle started again another week of frustration (it did go through my mind that smoking was never this difficult - you buy a packet of fags open them, light one and smoke, simple, here was me not being able to taste the liquid, surrounded in bottles, syringes, needles, tissues, various carts, clearos (some of which leaked all over the place), and god knows what - when I look back I'm not sure what kept me going but I'm glad I did.

My theory is that it just takes time and you have to hang on in there, everyone is different in there experience and some have no problems at all but it does go eventually and touchwood after 3 severe episodes mine has (so far - been about 6 weeks) not returned.

In my experience nothing in itself cures the problem, but, things that helped me are, drinking lots of water, definitely the variable voltage devices (I have found the ego-twist is perfect), finding the cart or clearo that works for you (I still think the wadding in the carts was not helping me so now stick to clearo's - the Visions were ok but now I either use the Kanger T2's or the Vivi Nova's or minis).

I hope this helps a little with what you are going through - stay strong.
