Vape tongue help

[Noraj1067]

So for the last few days I haven't been able to taste my juices at all. I can taste when I eat, and I can smell the juice but nothing when I'm vaping. I've tried different flavors,tanks and batteries so it has to be my mouth. I've tried brushing my tongue and drinking a lot of water and nothing is helping. Me tongue feels numb like when you've burnt your tongue, but I can't see any physical changes. I'm becoming distraught and a little obsessed about it and I have no idea what to do. The guys at the local vape shop looked me like I was crazy... I'm getting anxious an analog is sounding really good right about now. They always work. =facepalm:

You may not be getting taste but you are getting nicotine, so having a cigarette won't solve anything for you. Keep well hydrated and wait a while; things will get back to normal soon enough!

Try a fruit juice or energy drink type, these seem to work better for me anyway when I've developed that condition which can last a while.

After you put down the cigarettes your taste buds will go through stages of repair that may last a few weeks to a few months. There are lots of suggestions on how to deal with vapers tongue but the best for me was to use a liquid with light or no taste (unflavored) for a day each time it would happen. I believe it's your brain and not the buds. Like a smell that is constant you become unaware of because your brain filters it out. Take a short break from the heavy flavors and you'll be surprised when you go back. Your still getting the nicotine so a cigarette won't do much but taste bad.

After 2 1/2 years of vaping, I still get episodes of "vaper's tongue". I don't know what causes it or what can speed up the recovery period back to normal. My episodes rarely last longer than a week.

I often will use a flavor that I'm not particularly fond of, or even vape some straight Vg (vegetable glycerine; its got a slightly sweet taste which I can still perceive) during these episodes. Why vape with my favorite flavors if I can't taste them? You can purchase glycerin at your local Walmart or CVS pharmacy for cheap.

Some say to increase your water intake (even more than usual). Practice good oral hygiene; I've recently gotten some Biotene (non-prescription mouthwash that dentists recommend) which some people say helps shorten the healing period; not sure if it will help. Some people say eating spicy foods or pickles helps. Stronger flavors like cinnamon and mint (or menthol) can often be tasted when others can not.

I just finally recovered from a ten day vaper's tongue affliction. Honestly, the only thing that worked for me was time. I just stayed super-hydrated, took good care of my chompers, and tried to vape less often. I did get some stuff with menthol in it as I could still FEEL the vape with that. Try menthol or mint, or just vape juice you don't really like. Stay hydrated and when your body bounces back you will know.

Red hot, any kind. Few drops eight to the tongue fixed it for me. The only thing...

This is mostly right, from what i understand it has to do with your nose.. which is the real player in what makes you able to taste things..

here is a GREAT video explaining everything, what causes it, why it happens, and how to deal with it :

Try sour or acidic drinks, like lemonade. It may or may not help but at least its refreshing!
Also eating "abrasive" foods like saltine crackers may help.

It will eventually fix itself with time. Do not worry. It will come and go, it goes with the territory.

If you don't chain vape, you might want to use a higher nic liquid than usual (for throat hit and sensation), or as other suggested a flavor you don't like, which might jar your senses a little.

Smell some coffee, vape some menthol. I've heard about people drinking pickle juice and it working but that just sounds nasty to me! Haha! Good luck! [emoji5]️

Since you can smell the juice okay, maybe you should try vaping through your nostrils. I've never tried it, yet. It's an idea though. You probably shouldn't listen to me though.

I used to think that because a lot of juices were so weak. Haven't had that problem in a long time with better juice. Try some Virus or Grandmas cinnamon danish from nicoticket. If you really can't taste that which is highly doubt. Then try some clouds of icarus lemon bar. There is no possible way to not taste that one. Believe me on that. Lol
You will be o.k., but I have been where you are. It is tough at first trying to get better gear which makes a huge difference on vapor production and flavor combined with finding good ejuice. Don't give up!

Snap into a hunk of spicy slim jim that will wake up your buds
