Grandad - I have just caught up with the end of this thread and don't know if it's been mentioned before, but your tastebuds have basically been shut down while you've been smoking tobacco, and are now coming back to life. We have all been through a 'purple patch' where nothing tastes of anything, and it's really frustrating at the time. The tried and tested method for relieving this frustration is to vape menthol juice, even if you have never been a Menthol lover. Get something quite strong, and you may be pleasantly surprised at how it hits the spot where other juices don't. Don't worry unduly about this short period, it will pass and gradually you will be able to taste your flavours again. Many of us use two or three juices in rotation so that our taste buds don't get bored with just one juice. Lowering the ohm rating of your atomiser head will make a difference, and upping the voltage will give you more flavour too, until it starts tasting a bit burnt, which is simply the atty vaporising the juice more quickly than the wick can supply it. Persevere and you will be rewarded. I know it can be annoying, and expensive, but you will get there, and at least you will have a bigger arsenal of juices and equipment to enjoy your newly-awakened sense of taste!

Hi Grandad and to aaec. Finding flavours you like is the most difficult task when it comes to vaping. Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but www.smokerainbow.com/ is a good place to go for samples. They carry samples from many of the big labels and you can try a bunch without spending a bunch. Takes about a week for them to arrive, but they don't need steeping and can be used as soon as they land. Hi newdawn thanks for the welcome and the link will take a look, Have ordered some juices but dont think you can ever have enough

Hi chykensa this makes a lot of sense to me thanks, I was never a big fan of menthol ciggies but will try it and see what happens. Thats typical i have over 20 juices and not one menthol lol will see if i can sorce some tommorrow im hopefully going to chelmsford will pop in and see mark i think his name is in the market. Thanks again for your help most appreciated can smoke the menthol whilst my other juices are steeping.

Let us know how you get on! The other advantage of menthol is that it opens the airways enabling you to get more of a nicotine hit. Chocolate and caramel are added to all tobacco to do just that - even more cr@p which we didn't know we were inhaling

Yep, it's the iclear30 Grandad. Similar to the 30s, but with the same coil/wick arrangement as the iClear16s. The 30s has an enclosed coil/wick in a tube with holes in it and the 30b is a bottom coil

Another way to tag Grandad is the little person with the @ sign next to the C in the boxes in the reply you just click on it & start typing any members name then suggestions are shown & you pick who you want to tag. About the menthol mentioned earlier its cheaper & better to make your own just buy a 5g pot of menthol crystals from any chemist cost approx £1-75, crush half a pot of the crystals & put into an empty 10ml bottle (make a paper funnel to put crystals into the bottle) this will fill the bottle to about half way top up with pg to 10ml & either zap in the microwave for 4/5 seconds only or put lid on the bottle & place in a cup of hot (not boiling) water, then shake & you have your own menthol concentrate be careful though as it will be very potent you will only need 2 or 3 drops in whichever juice you mix it to you can always add more if needed but you cannot take it out if you put too much in.
