Where Did The Flavor Go?

[joe2003]

I've been using a DSE905 with a 901 atty for ~a month now.

I drip at home and use a cart with the PTB made easy mod while I'm out.

It's been working great until this afternoon.I switch between Pina Colada

from madvapes and 555 from myvaporstore.Only probs till now was some minor leakage.

All of a sudden I'm getting no taste from either one and if I "hotbox"to try to get some

flavor I get a thick vapor but it kinda hurts my upper lungs,WTF?It's not really

bad but it's noticeable.The atty still gets warm and there's plenty of vapor

but no taste and then I get the uncomfortable feeling in my lungs.

Am I vaping too much? Is my atty dying? Or is this a phase that my taste buds

are going thru?

I started on disposable 510's then got a 4081 but my wife has the 510

and my 4081 has been sitting for a while so probly dead batts.Haven't checked yet.

I'll try the other PV's tomorrow but in the mean time any ideas or advice?

I do have 1 other new 901 atty to try also but I'm draining the primer junk out

of it tonight so that will have to wait til tomorrow also.

Any insights from you folks would be appreciated!

P.S. I forgot to mention that I mixed the Pina Colada with some Marbro and noticed tonight that the juice has kind of a beer smell to it.

The juices are all 24mg

This is a normal phase. Generally I have found that sticking with one flavor one week, the switching it the next week kinda helps a bit. Brushing your teeth, and doing a proper tongue scraping also helps as well.

You may also find that while taking a drag that you exhale out of your nose. By doing this you will be able to get some of the flavor back since we taste what we smell. Does that make sense? LOL

Anyways, I wish you the best of luck on this. Dont give up!

I've noticed my flavor level seems to have dropped a bit too. I just chalked it up as getting used to the flavor. I blow my atties out every night and let them dry, so I think it's not because they are getting gummed up with junk.

Hehe I just saw that and thanks

Yes, it is just a phase. I have known some vapors to take a few puff off of an analog to "punish" their tongue, and then went right back to vaping. Some say it works, but I dont know. That happened so long ago for me that I dont recall exactly. Personally I just switch the flavor since I only change it out once a week.
