Why won’t my vape taste good?
Sep 15, 2017 · 1. Low Battery. The first thing to check when you stop getting the desired flavor from your vape is your device’s batteries.

This is because as the batteries drain, they become less efficient at vaporizing the PG that carries ...

As a brave beginner who has recently quit the bad habit of smoking, you may feel a little overwhelmed by the fact that that a vape device, while 95% safer than cancer sticks, actually requires quite a bit of know how to operate, especially if you’re running a mod and sub-ohm tank set up or something more complex than an all-in-one.
Why is my mod not producing vapor?
Mod Not Producing Vapor: Battery Problems. If your device isn’t firing, it might be because your battery isn’t sending power to your coil.

How to fix a flooded coil?
Fixing a flooded coil is fairly simple: you can blow down through your mouthpiece to force the liquid out through the airflow holes (or invert your tank and blow through the airflow holes to force liquid out of the mouthpiece), or even just turn your device to a higher setting and clear the tank by vaping.
Why won't my e-cigarette fire?
The most obvious problems that could lead to your e-cig not firing are that your device isn’t switched on, that your battery isn’t charged or that your wattage setting is too low. Most devices switch on with three or five quick presses of the fire button, so try that first – usually an LED will flash or the screen will activate so you can see when it’s switched on. If this doesn’t work, the battery could be depleted, so try plugging your device into a charger (for mods with on-board charging or in-built batteries) or removing the battery and charging it separately (for devices with removable batteries).
How to tell if a mod is locked?
On mods with screens, there will likely be a padlock symbol or other sign to indicate that your device is locked. On vape pens, it might not be as easy to spot, but try clicking the fire button three or five times in quick succession, and look for a blinking LED to indicate that you’ve done something.

Unfortunately, if your charger works and the problem doesn’t seem to be with the device itself, your battery could be dead. Over time, all batteries stop working, and if you’ve noticed that your battery hasn’t been holding its charge as well, this could be the cause of the issue.
Complimentary Flavours
This is something we all know about, but as new vapers it might be something we didn't think would affect the taste of our e-cigarette. What I'm talking about here is the same thing as brushing your teeth before having a cup of tea, or on the other side of the coin, having a glass of red wine with your steak.
Illness and Tiredness
When you have a cold, flu or aren't feeling 100% for whatever reason, it will affect the taste of your vapour. It sounds fairly obvious as I'm typing it now, but it really did surprise me the first couple of times I experienced it and it can be quite dramatic.
Fresh Coils and Old Coils
I think most would agree that the best flavour you get is on the second or third fill of your e-cigarette device. From there on in it's a gradual downhill path, until it gets to the point where you start tasting a burnt dirty flavour or it just deteriorates to a simple lack of taste and vapour production.
Flavour Fatigue
I think flavour fatigue is the main reason for what people call 'Vapers Tongue', when vapers can't taste any flavour in their e-liquids. We are essentially bombarding our taste-buds with relatively strong flavours all day and sometimes I think we just need to give them a rest.

How to get weak hits on a vape?
If you have a pod-based disposable vape, you might get weak hits if air bubbles form around the pod’s wicks. Tap the device gently on a table to break the air bubbles. After giving the wicks a few seconds to get wet, you should get some nice hits again.
Why does my vape stop hitting?
The most common reason why a disposable vape stops hitting is because it’s simply out of e-juice. The average disposable vape contains enough e-liquid for up to 200 puffs, but the operative phrase there is “up to.”.
Can you refill a vape?
If you want to refill your vaping device, you should buy a device designed for that. Before you try refilling a disposable vape, you should also know that, when the device is out of vape juice, the battery is also nearly dead – so you’ll probably end up wasting e-liquid.
Can an alkaline battery explode?
It's also possible that an alkaline battery will expand, leak or burst during recharging. The fact that it's possible doesn't mean the chemistry of the cell is intended for recharging. It is inherently unsafe to recharge a battery that's only designed for a single use. Don't even try it.

I've been vaping since about the beginning of March. I've been making my own juice from the start since it's so much cheaper. I have tasted a few pre-made juices though. My first juice I ever made and that I vaped quite a lot for the first few months was a TFA caramel, and I liked it a lot.

Alas I'm in the same boat. I used to like my TW American Red Tobacco but now it tastes of weak milk. Horrible flavour from 2 different bottles and fresh atomizers.

If you smoked analogs for decades (like me), your taste buds are probably shot. I hear they come back after you quit smoking, but I haven't noticed it yet. I've been off analogs and on vaporizers since July and my taste buds are still AWOL. Regardless of which juice I try or what the flavor is supposed to be, I taste nothing or almost nothing.

I am having the same issue. I got new liquids vape one for about an hour then it loses its flavor. I clean my atomizer try another flavor, same thing happens. I don't know if its taste buds or what. The one flavor that so far it hasn't happened to is cinnamon. So I don't know how to fix this.

Steeping can improve flavor on complex juices. Steeping will not improve flavor on crap tasting juices.

I think a lot of it has to do with the quality of your juice and how it was made. Also take a look at your pg:vg rations and try mixing those up a bit. Virgin vapors has all organic juices that are dripping with flavor and they also will add extra flavoring if you ask for it. hope this helps

Well shops don't use anything for testing anymore. That is if they want to remain legal.

Most of the ones near me seem to use Picos and older Ego styled regulated tube mods.

My favorite shop uses pen style MOD's all have a tank with labels for the flavor and the give you a latex or rubber tip for the mouth piece. Now there is a minor charge to taste test but I am not sure what he charges.

Interesting input, as I haven't stepped foot into a B&M vape shop in quite some time. So they are charging for tasting now, hmmm, seems an interesting way of getting around the no free samples issue. The last shop I was in, they had a full set of sub-ohm tester tanks.
