Hiya Jodie and welcome to quit support 😊

Well done on your quit, this horrible taste most definitely will pass as your taste buds have been bombarded with 4000 plus chemicals when you were smoking and now your taste is starting to return. Initially it takes a while to settle down but it will. In the meantime mouthwash will help freshen your mouth. Maybe change to a different flavour ejuice as well perhaps mint or menthol. Also worth a visit to your dentist just to get a check up. Side effects like this will pass so please hang in there😊x

Good for you, it's not easy but it will be worth it. Have a good look around the site as lots of information about sore mouths, smoking really causes a lot of damage to our gums so it takes a while for them to heal😩 good luck😊x
