Bitterness

[Marzuq]

for the past week i have been suffering for a really bitter taste in my mouth,
ive been put on a 6 week course of antibiotics but the tab itself is very bitter and gives me reflux. worse than the reflux is the all day long bitter taste that just sits on my tongue. the anti biotic seems to be working for its intended purpose but it kills my adv. i can barely taste anything on the sweet juices at the moment. ive resorted to having cherry halls in my mouth all day long to dull the bitterness and it also seems to have made the flavour more available in my adv. however not enough. sucks big time

Not good, maybe try some mentholated joose?

im not the biggest menthol fan. but im gna get me some just to try and see if it enhances my vape. maybe add a few drops of concentrate to my vm4 and see how that goes

I had laryngitis last week. Barely tasted anything. Even menthol was extremely bitter for me while my wife said it was still nice

being sick sucks.
in my case its the tablets i take that creates the bitter distaste i have, so for the next 6 weeks my vaping experience is gna be the worst ever!
custard type flavours does not work in these conditions
vm4 adv tastes bitter
apple from just b. hint of flavour but bitter too
hell frozen over i taste just fine but its too rich a vape to use all day long.

I tried everything. All types of flavours were tasteless. Then menthol was bitter. It's really horrible.

thanks @Riddle. in that case ill just vape what i got. pointless looking and spending on things that will all taste bitter.

I considered doing a flavourless mix for myself because it feels like you just wasting your good flavours. Maybe consider that as an option

@Andre @Metal Liz so i went scratching in my stash of juices and found some berry blaze menthol.
to my dismay the menthol made the joose even more bitter. i didnt see that one coming lol

I really wonder why. Normally when one is sick menthol and camphor helps. I had the extra strong halls and even that tasted like nothing... The menthol vape was very better though.

well i am not actually sick. the anti biotics im taking is to treat a condition i have. all my senses and so on are fine. but the result of using the anti biotic is an all day lingering bitter taste. its the actual tab itself thats causing it.i keep cherry halls on hand all day as i can taste the cherry fine. the rest just has no effect

That really sucks. Takes the joy out of vaping.

you have no idea. but im a die hard so i just keep vaping

I did the same. But to be honest now that I have my taste back I am still a bit sceptical to try menthol type flavours again.

i feel you. im not a fan of menthol. but a toot here n there is always refreshing just to bring out the flavours in your usual flavours again

And it gives a very nice kick to certain flavours when you feel like mixing it up a little

yeah i fully agree. keeping some concentrate on hand makes perfect sense
