Yup Perpetua ! I gotta admit, I do have a tendency to do that lol Get all excited about a new thing and go over the top with it, trying to catch up with the 'big boys' too soon!! Haha! You'd think I'd have learned by now eh? But it's all your fault! You guys all have to promise not to tempt me with big-girl-stuff-talk 'til I've found my feet k? (I'm jokin of course!! I've never had anything but good advice from any of you!) Keep running, that's what I say, I had my first genesis atty within a month or so of starting, just had to keep at it till I got it working how I wanted. Coil, wick, atty and mod can all make a difference to the whole experience. Now stop being a big girls blouse and get it sorted I can't help the big blouse! I'm a big girl!!!

Hiya CaptainChaos Sorry to see it's you having the despondent day today I feel for ya mate! Debbie13 is another person with taste difficulties on here so she might be able to give you some recommendations too if she's around today. Feel free to have a moan and a grump about it all if it helps. It was my turn yesterday and I did, and I'm feeling a bit more 'ready to try again' today because of it so it can help! Here's a for you to help you persevere!

Debbie13 thanks for this! I've been following your experiences in searching for juices on your other threads so I know what a struggle you've had at times! I've been so impressed by your tenacity and perseverance. Today is another day and I'm having another go (Although I gotta remember to order my weekly food shopping - got so caught up with all things vape yesterday that I forgot, so it's sandwiches for tea tonight!! Wahh!) How long did it take your tastebuds to come back babs ? I wasn't smoking a great deal before I tried vaping, I'd got it down to 5 - 10 skinny rollies a day but I have smoked all my adult life (apart from 5 years in my early 40s) and I'm 52 now. I was kinda hoping that the damage wouldn't be too bad, as when I gave up before my tastebuds sprang into action pretty soon after I quit. Perpetua you and babs may well have a point about the iclear 16s and the metal taste thing. These are definitely gonna be on my next shopping list. There has been method to my madness in my choice of tanks so far, I promise! But I may have been trying to run before I can walk and trying out too many new things at once. I'm currently chugging reasonably happily on my original ego 1100 with t2s which are top coil and plastic/polycarbonate drip tip and tank, and the 60/40 pg/vg mocha juice from jj. Back to basics and I'll see how I go enjay I'm in Edinburgh near Holyrood Park

Mrsmac I think that's what's been making me so uncertain about everything since I started - that there are just sooo many variables in vaping. I mean, that's what makes it so great in that you can tailor your gear and your juice to exactly what you need (with any luck lol) but it's also what makes it such a palarva for noobs like me! I guess you do just literally have to suck it and see lol And having a place like this to come to when you don't have a scooby, or when it all goes belly up is just so great It really does help, just to be able to say 'arrrgh! it's all gone horribly wrong!!' and know that peeps can sympathise cos they've been there too! And thanks for mentioning about new heads needing to break in - Perpetua just beat you to it a little while ago, but that's something I didn't know before today! Another little piece of info to tuck into the back pocket Perpetua I haven't tried any iclear 16s yet. I'll add those to the next shopping list and give them a go. Thanks!

I'm a noob so can't offer any practical advice, but 'thingy' is about as technical as I get too! (Have you tried a whatsit on your oojah instead? Heard it gives a great vape... )

Ok so I've got the Dark Cherry on the go... a bit weird cos I can smell it but the taste is less pronounced. Can smell marzipan but not taste it til after I've exhaled as a kind of aftertaste and it's only slight. More flavoursome generally on the exhale than drawing in. Still very weak tho. Better than the others. Less in the way of throat hit, but then the throat thing often dies away for me after I've got through the first 10-15 mins. I should say, both these are 50/50 12 mg Irish Cream... I can taste the cream but not the irish lol Again, weak, wee bit sickly. Still getting a kind of artificial taste with both of them. What flavour there is is very subtle and .. there's almost a kinda scented aftertaste. Can't believe I can STILL taste metal!! It's weird CaptainChaos Maybe they've still not steeped enough? I have read other reviews of jj juices that people have found them weak, and left them a bit more, and they've improved. Maybe that's what we should do?
