Ok so this is a weird question, I've been vaping for about a month and would like to think I generally know stuff about it. I stopped smoking a long time before I started vaping as more of a hobby and tried lot's of different vapors from the same company which all taste different and I grew to love. I've also got different vapors with higher vg to pg ratio so I know this can't be it. Let me start with the basics, there are 4 of us in the family that have the same model (Eleaf iStick 20w, except here in the UK it is called the TECC curve 2). I tried a new flavour and thought it was disgusting, then I realised my atomizer was probably time for a change, so I changed it and the fluid to a different flavour just to see the difference, cleaned out the tank and let it absorb. I'm still getting the same flavour and I've changed it to two different and stronger flavours with different PG/VG. I've also tried the same flavour through other family members tanks and tasted it totally fine. There is just this weird disgusting flavour. At first I thought it was possibly something to do with the fact I got a scope down my nostril to my voicebox last week with local anesthetic so maybe affecting my taste, but when I realised I can taste the same flavour differently from theirs (and even when I put their tanks on my battery) I'm really confused as to what the problem could be. They say that mine tastes fine to them as well, on both mine and their box, So I can't put it down to vaper's tongue. They were heavy smokers just getting their taste back, I never was and didn't smoke for long, is it possible that they are still experiencing the sudden experience of heightened taste compared to me, or can you just kind of go off vaping that fast? I usually exhale through my nose to get full flavour. (sorry for the repeated use of the UK spelling of "Flavour" but it's just habit) For example Raspberry Sorbet and Ice menthol both have the same disgusting flavour but I love both of them. Is it possibly temporary? The other weird thing is that I used to go up to 11.2w which would be 4.0v with an ohm reading of 1.5, right now the highest I can go for similar is 9.7w for a 4.0v reading with a 1.7ohm reading, could that be affecting the flavour? I do know some things but I'm still quite new to the whole thing so any feedback is really appreciated. PS I'm not dehydrated, no allergies are affecting me and I'm not ill at the moment, so any pros keep that in mind.
