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.

Green Steam and Vamp Vape sound great - if any more testers are required count me in please.
