Since 2015 I have neverbhad a problem creating the perfect cream to mix well with my recipes. The last month I cannot get anything to work. 100 different combos old flavors new it doesnt matter. This keeps going and ill hang up the scale and flavors. Any great pairings anyone had to offer let me know. Im sure ive tried some variation but maybe not.

Fiddy, you could be experiencing something with your body chemistry. Do any of the following pertain to your current situation?
.
A sudden change in your sense of taste can indicate an underlying medical condition. Reasons include infections, medications, dental issues, or nerve damage.
Just a few possibilities. I doubt that all the formulas changed. I hope you get to the bottom of this. Let us know.

@fidalgo_vapes are you trying to create a universal “Cream Stone” or something ??
If so, I’ve never found one, that worked in every mix. A stone, or for a specific mix ?? Hit me back.

While we wait for the 411, @Alisa actually came up with a smoker back in 2015.
While very good, it still doesn’t work in ALL mixes IMHO.

Ty, Ive tried things very similar butni haven’t tried any combos with Snow Cream. Maybe its the dental work like @muth suggested. Im getting a couple crowns which is a process. Hopefully thats it and when its complete my taste for creams will reappear

Ive even tried my MF White Choco trick. Add .2 to .25 pct and it adds this silky creamy feel to cream bases. Ill get these crowns done by end of month and maybe it will help.

0.5% inw biscuit
1.5% ssa i c van
2.5% ssa whipped cream
1% tfa meringue
Is usually the first thing i go for when i want a cream, which im sure you have probably tried some of its such an obvious choice. But those 4 together just work so well, especially with strawberry, but plenty other stuff too.
Whipped cream on its own i have used as high as 18% & it just seems to get richer & kinda like buttery but not actually butter flavor if that makes sense?
I often use ssa crem de la creme around 3.5% paired with wf french vanilla (thick) at around 0.5-0.75% which i really like. I like the cdlc at the higher %'s its soo good.
But i suppose the main question would be, what was it you wanted to pair with the creams? Theres some that just work better with certain things, which i know you already know, not trying to preach here or trying to imply you dont already know this,lol.
Hope you find whats causing the sudden “cream blindness” though all of a sudden??
Edit - ahh, missed the dental work comment the first read through. Hope that sorts it, i love my creams i too would be so sad if i couldnt taste them.

I’m getting dental work, too and it’s a painstaking long process. At the start, they prescribed this mouth rinse to fight infection and it was brutal on my tasters. I ended up pitching it and switching to warm water and salt.

Hopefully! I got vapers tongue a couple of years and Swaggy had a cold killer recipe I mixed up. It worked, but I didn’t like it.

@fidalgo_vapes post sent me down a rabbit hole about our sense of taste. There’s way too much about it to post here so I recommend, if you’re interested, to Google the subject. One interesting thing I found had to do with cell turnover rate. This happens all over our body at different rates.
Yes, the turnover of taste bud cells definitely contributes to changes in your sense of taste. Taste buds are constantly being replaced, and as we age, the number of taste buds decreases, and their sensitivity also diminishes. This leads to a decline in taste perception, making foods seem less flavorful.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
- Taste buds are constantly renewed:
Basal cells in taste buds continuously divide and differentiate into new taste receptor cells, replacing those that have died. This happens roughly every 10 days on average, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
- Number and sensitivity decrease with age:
As people age, the number of taste buds declines, and the remaining ones may shrink and become less sensitive. This can make it harder to distinguish between different flavors.
- Impact on taste perception:
This combination of reduced number and sensitivity leads to changes in taste perception. Foods that were once enjoyed may seem less flavorful, and the intensity of flavors may decrease.
- Age-related changes:
Taste perception changes can begin in middle age, with some individuals noticing differences as early as their 40s or 50s, according to Mom’s Meals.
- Other factors:
While taste bud turnover is a key factor, other factors like smell and overall health can also influence taste.
And this one came up because of the dentist!
Yes, it’s possible for a dentist to unintentionally damage a nerve in the jaw, which can affect taste. The lingual nerve, which runs along the tongue, is particularly vulnerable during wisdom tooth extractions or injections. Damage to this nerve can cause temporary or, in rare cases, permanent changes in taste.

Okay, this last one is severe and rare but nonetheless, probably good info for anyone to know. I’m not saying this is related to Fiddy. He would already know for sure if something like this happened to him. But since we’re all obsessed with taste around here, I thought I’d post it for those curious.
