Reonauts, Do you get vaper tongue?

[HgA1C]

Ok, I have been enjoying the new REO, and believe I will become fully converted to a Kool-aid sipping Reonaut in the near future. While I have been Vapping away in Reoville, I have noticed something.

I had vapers tongue before getting the REO and cyclone. Now that I have been using my Grand I no longer seem to have the problem. So I was wondering do other Reonauts experience vapers tongue often?

I still get it from time to time. Usually I loose the ability to taste my juice when I vape the same flavor for a week or so. I swap flavors for a few days and it usually goes away.

I used to get it bad. Most jooses have become boring if I vape them for too long of a stretch without a break from them. Since I started rotating a lot of liquids every day and night, using a palate cleanser when needed I seldom got VT. So I don't have ADV's in the truest sense of the term. But I do have quite a few jooses that are and always will be in my rotations. Right now I'm playing with getting down to 3-4-5 a day/night total and only using my favorite strongest jooses. A few days into it and it's working OK so far...

I tend to fill up with flavored in the mornings and top off with unflavored in the afternoon. My palate seems to fatigue after 3-4 mils and I found switching to unflavored keeps me from getting full on vapers tounge.

i only get vaper's tongue when i engage in oral vape


oh, wait...

 

[Big Hitter]

Not very often .... the trick is to have 4 (or more) REOs going with different flavors and hit them all throughout the day.

I'm quite sure what a lot of people think is vapor tongue is really their inferior equipment falling to produce the proper flavor.

+1....I switch or at least alternate between unflavored and my Odin taste bud blaster in the evenings to keep my taste buds in check.


It is important for me to stay hydrated which can be hard for me in the dry area I live when I drink coffee 1/2 the day....

I was just thinking about this the other day - I haven't had vapor's tongue since I got my REO at the end of July - I had it twice in the 8 months prior to that of vaping, and once back in '09 during the short time I vaped then. I don't know if its connected or not, but I had cut down the nic and flavour shortly after getting a REO, intitially cutting both in half, now about 1/3 of original concentration before the REO - But I also vape through many more mls a day as well.

I still rotate between 7-10 flavors a day to avoid VT. I can't say if the REOs have helped or not, but I am getting it less frequently. I had two bad bouts (first month and third month of vaping lasting longer than a week), then at least a 3-4 days monthly, but now I get it maybe a day here or there once a month.

It's still irritating but I can deal with a day versus full blown for a week.

My sense of taste is flat out bad and I've never encountered a juice (e.g., pluid) that I thought to be too extreme. Consequently, I have found flavour factory atties like the RM2 to help the general situation.

Like most others, I do get fatigue from vaping the same flavour for, say, a week, and I did get full blown VT a couple of times during the first 2 months of full-time vaping lasting for 3-4 days each episode.

I haven't had it since switching to Reos.

I did have one episode where I thought it had come back BUT after reading a bit I found info in the DIY section that suggested that it was actually flavor overload. Turns out to high of a percentage of flavor can actually overload and shut down the sense of taste. By diluting the juice with unflavored it brought the flavor back.

 

[JmanEspresso]

Never had vapers toungue.

I also believe thats a misnomer, because you don't taste vape with your tongue, you taste it with your nose.

The only time I flat out can't taste vape, is if Im congested. Now, I am chronically congested since I was born.. one nostril is always closed, and it fluctuates, but its generally the same one. But when both are closed.. THATS when I can't taste liquid.


I DO get fatigued on a flavor if I vape it, and only it, without change, for a while. It just tastes dull and less awesome. Happens with my all time favorite GVC, because I can't get enough of it. But honestly like, a break of an hour or two of vaping something else brings it back.



Ive been cig free for over a year.. I think that has a lot to do with it too. I seem to hear new vapers complaining of it more then vapers who have been cig free for a long time.

 

[supertrunker]

Quite. Never had it and i vaped one thing all the time for a year and now something else all the time for another year. I have a few ADVs now and i rotate them whenever, but usually i vape the same thing for at least a week at a time.

Never got smoker's tongue, so i think it's an attention-seeking invention!

I've never experienced it. I would have to pet a Sasquatch to believe in them also but i have read many posts and several articles regarding this predicament.

So glad you are not having this problem since using the reo. I think they are practically perfect in every way. .

I've had the same experience, Mrs C. Discovered long ago that vendor juice was WAY to over flavored for me and caused frequent vapors tongue. With the Reo I use only 2 to 4 drops of flavored juice per fill up with unflavored. Great flavor and no more vapors tongue.

 

[super_X_drifter]

Never. I vape the same juice in the same builds in the same attys every day all day.

It's very consistently excellent.

It always taste better than a marlboro light to me.

 

[supertrunker]

I cannot stand tobacco flavours now, but they were all i vaped when i first stopped smoking. It's a pity because some of the most complex flavours that require steeping and all the rest of it to get the best from them are no longer something i like.

My ADV is an apple cinnamon danish DIY i have used for about 16 months. I make about 200 ml at a time and that lasts me a month. [i made 240ml last month cos i got a bit heavy handed with the nic and had to dilute it]

Once a week i'll vape something totally different - maybe half a Reo bottle, and it can be menthol, raspberry, cherry - something like that. Quite often i'll just add vg to the flavour and no nic and just blow clouds. It's therapeutic!

I've vaped one flavor for almost 3 years straight, all on my REO. I don't think it's any mysterious vaper's tongue when my flavor diminishes. It's only when I've eaten our drunk something else with a particularly strong flavor or aftertaste I find my juice taste gets strange. Some things in particular that negatively affect my juice- garlic, pepperoni, salsa, and spicy bbq sauces. My usual cure is lots of water, brushing my teeth again, or eating a couple of pieces of bread. Garlic is the worst though...it just hangs around forever

I have had the same experience with tobacco flavors as Trunker. Once I was firmly off the analogs, I haven't even considered buying a tobacco flavor. When my choice is Creme Brulee or a tobacco flavor, the CB will win every time.

As long as I keep another flavor in my daily rotation, vapor tongue doesn't seem to be a problem for me. I can't say that it ever has been a problem. I've only noticed a muting of my adv flavor after a couple of weeks of use with nothing else in the rotation. I can't say for sure that wasn't caused by poor wick maintenance either. I've learned a lot since joining the ranks of Reoville.
