Hey guys. Not sure if this is a common problem, but after I smoke weed, I find every single flavour I vape has a gross burnt taste. The only way I've been able to subdue it is to MTL a high nic, citrus juice.
I was wondering if there are certain flavours you've noticed that don't have this effect? Or maybe there's a profile that already has a similar burnt taste that might blend with it?
Or maybe I'm just weird and it only happens to me...
It's easy, stop smoking weed.
No I really mean it, get a weed vaporizer.
I second this so hard. Back in the day when I had a Manhattan mod and a mutation v3 and a bong I would tend to smoke n' vape. I would always wonder why, no matter what flavor I would use, has my vapor become muted. I think only spearmint with some menthol was strong enough to puncture through. Realistically what happens is when you combust weed you are coating your mouth, tongue, and lungs in smoke. Seriously, smoke some purp' and blow a lungful of bong/blunt smoke through a paper towel, that is also coating your insides baby. After realizing that fact I would usually wait 5-10 minutes after smoking or wash my mouth out with water and usually I could taste my vape. I usually just smoke(vape?) Shatter which has 0 effects on the flavors of my ejuice. So I get to double-berrell my nicotine and the while double-barrelling some demons in Doom.
Tl:dr weed smoke coats your taste buds which mutes flavor. Drink lotsa water or vape your stash.
What's your process for incorporating the shatter? I can't find a good write up anywhere
I don't know if this will be of any help, but I hope it steers you in the right direction.
If people are using shatter in an e-liquid setup they generally try to mix it with EJmix, puffmagic, holy terp etc. Which are carrier liquids for cannabis concentrates not dissimilar to pg and vg. Actually, most of them use PG and PEG. HolyTerp, though, has a product line called Pure^tmlol which is supposed to not contain any PG or PEG. Of these i have only tried ejmix, but have a shipment of their pure line coming in today.
With EJMix, the only solution that I was able to mix that remained liquid at room temperature was mixed at 1g of concentrate to .8g of ejmix, and the only discernible difference was the stability of the shatter used - in that it was very stable. The less stable shatters ended up soldifying even though I used close to 40% more solvent. It still worked. I'd just have to heat it up with a torch in my glass clearomizer lol. Now, as you might imagine, a concentrate diluted to basically half is going to feel weaker (especially out of a carto/clearo type vape) so people who go this route (ejmix and concentrate) generally move towards subohm tanks with TC setups (which is something i'll be trying soon). Depending on the stability of the concentrate Holy Terp's pure line (which is supposed to be very similar to another, much more expensive, product called Connosieur Concentrates) only needs .1-.5ml per gram of concentrate, so it can theoretically produce a much more potent liquid. I can only assume that companies like thclear and kurvana are using Connosieur Concentrate's solvents in their prefilled cartridges.
ALL OF THAT BEING SAID, A lot of people just throw a dab on their coils, and they use stainless steel mesh as a wick. There are other methods, but this is the easiest I've seen. You'll want to read user reports for specifics on this though.
I ended up just using a dab rig I bought at my dispensary for cheap. I used a lush rda once for a bit with the coil and steel mesh trick, but in the end it was too messy (for me that is ) so I'll use a dab globe attachment on an old istick 20w (yes I do like to live dangerously). If I can't use the dab rig.
Yeah dude. I got a Milaana about 2 months ago, and it's great. The Milaana in particular isn't really a 1 hitter quitter. Which, if you're a bong/rig user, is a huge con, but there are plenty of other portable and desktop vapes that can hit like that. /r/vaporents is a great place to start. They're super noob-friendly over there.
Yup, I have to third this. I quit smoking weed a few months after I quit cigs - I figured if I was cutting the smoke out of one area, I might as well cut it out totally.
The taste is still diminished after vaping weed, but I can actually TASTE the flavors still, rather than a disgusting burnt taste (I know exactly what OP means lol).
The Ted nuggets are dominating your palate
FA strawberry seems to cut through it. The downside is you may not taste your dank bc the strawberry or (ethyl?) maltol can dominate your palate
Or.... Just get a nicotine buzz, get faded, do whatever it is you gotta do, and maybe eat or drink some some carbs, coffee, lemon. Forget about the nic
Brush your teeth tongue and floss also

Yeah this kind of happens to me when I'm high. It's not exactly a burnt taste but it's as if my palate is dried out somehow and I can't fully taste it. Even if I don't smoke and I just ate an edible or had a keef cola it'll still happen. Gets a lot of better if you drink a lot of water though. Just like anything when you're high ejuice tastes so good, you just have to get past the weird part. I'm not sure about the science behind it though. I know it's not just from smoking because like I said I even get it ingesting thc.
I haven't found anything to get around it or a flavor that stands up to it particularly well. Maybe Eucalyptus w/ Mint or a menthol flavor? I just brush my teeth after a good sesh and drink some water to minimize it. Usually goes away relatively quickly. I don't smoke weed nearly as often as I use concentrates though. Concentrates don't mess with the taste of vaping nearly as much, nor for as long as flower IME.
Yo been vaping for about 3 years and this still happens to me. I think smoke particles from the weed land on your tongue and that's what gives you that taste. I still haven't found a way around it.
smoke particles definitely hit your tongue, same as anything you put in your mouth. some of those molecules are stickier than others. and smoke (from cigs or weed) has plenty of sticky molecules. think of eating a pepper, they have sticky molecules as well that also happen to give you a hot sensation. it takes a while for those molecules to unbind from the receptors on your tongue. same as smoke
Sometimes a tobacco flavor tastes alright to me after smoking, but honesty I just prefer a hash vape these days to avoid what your going through, OP.
I experience the same thing from smoking hash oil out of my tribute v3 :( Smoking weed is way worse but concentrates do it to me too.
Hmmmm, it is definitely something to do with the interaction between your taste buds and the flavoring compounds in the juice.
I find that whenever I am a bit toasted (alcohol or otherwise), eating a mandarin orange or having a bit of fresh lemon/lime tends to refresh my palate. Also, drinking some nice cold water washes away any coating that might be forming from the "fun time" substances. I usually have some sort of citrus fruit in my house and eating a wedge and sipping some water seems to take care of the problem.
Maybe give it a go and see if it helps at all.
Cheers and good luck!
I would not be surprised if the PG, which is used as a flavor carrier, is dissolving the leftover tars in your mouth and carrying them to your taste buds. I have noticed this sort of effect also after eating strongly flavored foods, like Doritos. It seems that any left over flavorings in my mouth just get amplified and the juice flavors just get buried into the background.
So when you light something on fire and inhale the smoke, you get a burnt taste afterwards? Super strange. In all seriousness though get a dry herb atty and stop killing yourself. Should help a lot with the flavour as it won't be drowning your taste buds nearly as much in carcinogenic tar.
I think what you are experiencing is the vapor pulling the smoke out of your lungs, and then tasting it as it comes out. When you smoke, some of it will condense in your lungs (this is how tar and shit builds up in your lungs from smoking). I think vaping right after, the vape is picking up some of the condensed smoke from your lungs and when you exhale its removing it.
I bet you stop tasting the smoke after 3 or 4 very big vape pulls..
