Why does my vape taste like nothing?
Getting weak or no flavour from your vape often happens because of incorrect device wattage or airflow settings. But using the wrong e liquids can also make your vape taste of nothing, as can forgetting to prime new vape coils, blockages, flooded wicks or the wrong mouthpiece.
Should you switch to a different flavor when vaping?
Some people suggest switching to a completely different flavor to see if you can give your taste buds a jump start, although most would agree this really isn’t a “cure.” In general, the most effective thing to do is to take a break from vaping altogether for a day or two and see if your body recovers.
Why am I still having vape problems?
If you are still having vape problems, you may simply be using the wrong device or e-liquid for your preferences. The PG/VG ratio of your liquid can greatly affect the way the vapor fills your mouth and lungs. Higher VG liquids tend to produce more vapor.
Why is my vape coil not heating up?
As you fill your tank and vape it down to zero again and again, small amounts of residue build up on your coil. This can cause the coil to heat poorly or unevenly. Sure, you will still get some vapor with continued use, but you definitely won’t enjoy the taste. 4. Adjusting Your Device
1. Low Battery
The first thing to check when you stop getting the desired flavor from your vape is your device’s batteries.
2. Cartridge
If you’re using a vape with a cartridge, this could be a sign that it’s time to swap out for a fresh one. Your device may be pulling just enough leftover liquid to give you a vapor cloud, but you definitely won’t be getting the robust flavor of a full, or even half-full, vape pod.
3. Atomizers
If you haven’t swapped out your atomizer lately, it might be time to do so. As you fill your tank and vape it down to zero again and again, small amounts of residue build up on your coil. This can cause the coil to heat poorly or unevenly. Sure, you will still get some vapor with continued use, but you definitely won’t enjoy the taste.
4. Adjusting Your Device
After checking for any parts that may have worn out, it’s time to try adjusting your device. Some flavors perform best in drip atomizers, while others do well in tanks. Adjusting your wattage upward may bring out flavors that were missing at first.
5. Steeping Your Liquid
On the less technical side of things, it could be that your liquid needs some time to steep before you vape it. The need to steep e-liquids is often a result of manufacturers shipping the products out immediately after mixing without letting them settle first.
Battery
One possible reason that your vape is producing less vapor than normal is a weak battery. In many devices with a non-adjustable power output, as a battery drains the power output suffers. In some adjustable devices, the control chip will even scale down the mod's power output as batteries near the end of their charge cycle to preserve the cells.
Coil
Another reason that your vape might be producing less vapor is because of an old or dirty coil. Coils have a relatively short lifespan, and while some will last for weeks you may find yourself getting only a few days' life out of some devices if you're a heavy vaper.
Turn Up the Power
If you're using an adjustable mod and you've never been happy with your flavor or vapor production, maybe you just need some more power.
What Can You Do
Having a vape that's not producing the level of vapor you'd like is inconvenient, but most of the time it’s an easily fixable problem. The best thing that you can do is maintain your gear on a daily basis, and realize that the internal components will naturally wear out over time.

What happens if your atomizer is full?
If your tank is completely full but you still have weak vapor, it is possible that your atomizer or coil has been flooded. If this happens, simply take your atomizer apart and clean it with a paper towel or gently blow through it to get the excess liquid out.
How does a vaporizer work?
The vaporizer works by heating the coils which then cause the e-liquid to boil. If you are hearing a small amount of popping and fizzing, it may just be the coils doing their job. However, if you start noticing large popping sounds and gurgling you should begin by checking your tank for overfilling.
Is there a problem with not getting enough vapor?
Not Enough Vapor. Not getting enough vapor is a slightly different problem than having no vapor at all. While low vapor production can be associated with a low battery charge, more often than not it has something to do with your e-liquid. Check your tank to make sure you have enough e-liquid.
Do VG liquids produce more vapor?
Higher VG liquids tend to produce more vapor. If you are using a low-powered device or e-cigarette, you may need to upgrade to something bigger. Most cig-a-like devices do not come with variable settings or even publish their power ratings.
Can VG affect vape?
If you are still having vape problems, you may simply be using the wrong device or e-liquid for your preferences. The PG/VG ratio of your liquid can greatly affect the way the vapor fills your mouth and lungs. Higher VG liquids tend to produce more vapor.

I'm so frustrated I could scream... Last night I saw a YouTube video about rewicking your coils with cotton. It boasted the improvement in flavor, etc... And I have extra coils so I tried. What followed was less than satisfying. I used cotton balls advertised as pure 100% cotton. Bought them especially for this.

If you are getting vapor but just can't taste it anymore it sounds like vapers tongue for sure.

Clean your tank, put a fresh coil in and fill it with a different flavor. That should help. I get on kicks where I'll vape a single flavor for days in a row and suddenly the taste gets either nasty or muted. I try to not over do it on a single flavor but some...are just so good!

Also with the cotton wicks the vape clouds were really thick at first but dwindled by today.
