After 30 days of not smoking, I went out for breakfast with my mother and ordered some pancakes or waffles or something, which had cinnamon - and it was such a strong, amazing taste that I hadn't really tasted in 10+ years of smoking. Started tearing up in the middle of the restaurant.

Smoking kills your sense of smell and taste. Go an enjoy some foods you really loved as a kid and keep vaping!

My tasters went through some radical changes when I quit. Good and bad. Everything tasted incredibly salty for awhile (probably because it is).

Op: you probably just haven’t found the right adv flavor. I think a lot of people end up using a relatively mild/simple flavor that’s hard to get burnt out on. Keep searching! If you have interest in rebuildable devices, you might like an RDA which would allow you to change flavors every couple drags.

Keep hydrated, and you can prob taste better because you're not filling lungs/nose with cig smoke 10-20+ times a day

I have 4 vapes, each vape has a different flavor I like. Switch often, keep hydrated is my motto. When the battery runs out on one, I plug it in and switch to the next in line.

> Switch often, keep hydrated

this is just good life advice in general tbh.

That may be true but many beginning vapers stick with one flavor and start wondering why they can't taste it anymore and often the reason is ... not staying hydrated and using the same juice all the time. I learned that early in my journey when I used to get strawberry kiwi exclusively.

I found the same thing in the beginning when I got 'vaper's tongue' from vaping the same flavour all the time. So switching flavours and keeping hydrated is key to that.

As to the sudden change in your taste, it could be that your diy liquids reached 'fully steeped' at the same time as your senses of taste and smell started to recover from smoking. Happy days 😊

I mean, could the flavours just have steeped over time and become stronger?
