is taste really subjective?

[peter12]

If your a wine person then a wine will taste the same to each who try it.
Food is the same curry lasagne spaghetti pizza they all taste the same to everyone.
Beer does, so do sweets/cereals. A Mars bar is a Mars bar no matter where you go or who you are.
is this due to consistency and mass production ?

Why should juices be any different. Most juices I try never change flavour from one batch to the next. Some do which frustrates the hell out of me. Especially if I'm looking forward to a juice vape mail and its not the same as I'm used to.

Overall though I think if we all vaped rhe same batch, we would all get the same flavours. Whether or not you like that flavour is of course different.

I have a home made juice that is all I vape and depending upon which atomizer I put it in it can taste completely different in each.

That's more to do with preparation method though.
I.e if I fry a potato or roast or boil or mash or sauté it will taste different. Most things taste different if you prepare to use them differently.
I'm talking more in general terms. Similar resistance and coil set up similar power etc.

Just find it somewhat strange when people say I like x xx but you may not.

I have a Velocity dripper,  I G sub, And a nautilus. I, like yourself try most of my juice in all three, either brought or diy'ed. There can be a big difference, that's what I've found anyway.

Vaping flavours are like food we all like different taste's and levels of intensity.

Yes this is my point that we do like different flavours and intensities. But the flavour of that particular thing is the same to everyone.
Granted that some people's palate may be weak or strong so flavours are muted or stronger. But the flavours will be the same right?

Taste Buds, We're ex smoker's. and my new teeth don't help

Yes.....taste is subjective.

We all have a different number of tastebuds and sensitivities to different things.

Our brains interpret these differently to other people too.............so while the tastes are similar not everyone tastes the same thing.

Simple example is salt.

Some require very little and some need a lot to taste it.

I'd say taste would differ widely. Yes a Mars is a Mars and likewise for pizza etc but each person would get a slightly different taste
Think to times when manufacturers change their recipie albeit slightly. Some people notice it straight away and others just don't. Vimto changed when I was young and I noticed it to point of stopping drinking the stuff. My mates couldn't tell the difference
Juice is an interesting one and I can only vape my adv in a naut mini. Any other tank just makes it taste meh regardless of sticking to same wattage
The same juice probably taste lovely in a different tank for others

The question is how do YOU know this?  Everyone has different amounts and types of taste buds in their mouths which is why taste is subjective to individuals.

I know because I googled it.

Plenty of scientific studies around

[stej]

Is that true for wine? I would have thought that wine would have been one of those that relied quite heavily on the tastebuds. Wine can be very delicate when at the high end of the market. Buckfast being the exception to the rule of coarse

[smifee]

Just read a Which report on wine. The 'experts' can't agree on the flavours they are getting.

I have taste sessions with my juices. If I tell someone it's 'Murraymint' I nearly always get "Yes. It's just like the sweets". If I don't tell them what the juice is and it's 'Murraymint' some get it but I have had "Is it a fruit?"

So I don't agree that anything tastes the same to everyone.

[lairey]

But when I eat a tomato, that is what I know as tomato. You may get a slightly or wildly different taste, but for you, it's what tomato tastes like. You will never know how tomato tastes to me, just like I will never know how it tastes for you or anyone else.

Does that make any sense?

I know cucumber taste evil but my daughter and son love it. They swear it taste nice......

It's similar to colours.

There's no way to know if we all look at a fire engine we are seeing the same colour of red.......... without us all picking the same thing from a colour chart.
