Vapors tongue remedy..for me.

[pipster]

It is a well established medical fact that taste is reliant upon your ability to smell. This is 100% true for me, d/t suffering from chronic sinus problems (thank you for THAT, analogs..) I can attest to that. I am only now 10 days into vaping this go around, but I also vaped in 2011 for about a month, no analogs. I had "vapors tongue" frequently the first go around... what I have discovered this time is that for me, it is really "vapors nose"..
The cure? I wash my sinuses out with Ocean saline spray (and I also neti pot every night before bed.) I can fully taste the juices if I keep my sinuses clear and uncoated of VG/PG... no flavor interruption.
It's also a good thing to do anyways after smoking analogs for so long, cleaning out the system. You begin to smell and taste again.. The saline and neti potting really helps the process.
Double bonus!!

what is netti pot?

It's like a teapot for clearing out your sinuses. You boil water so you don't get brain parasites, then let it cool and basically pour water up one nostril so it pours back out the other nostril. Or if you're like me you choke and wonder why a stuffy nose is worse than drowning.

vape all your crummy tasting juice now while you can.

Haha...it's an art...for sure.. but oh man it's great when you get it down pat. I feel like a new person with my sinuses all shiny and new. I boil the water and add a little sea salt. My sense of smell and tastes is like a newborn's.. I swear by it.

Gee, wonder if that would help me? Been off the sticks for a month, but can taste next to nothing. Always had a bit of sinus problems, too. Might have to look into getting a netti pot.

be sure to use either distilled water or boiled water.

I find it works too!

I made a 24mg high PG Red Bull flavor that has a strong subtle taste, and it seems to cleanse my vaping palate. Just taking a couple puffs, when I go back to my other flavors afterwards they seem to taste better. I've noticed before that throughout the day, the flavor of the same juice can vary. I'm always rotating my clearos, and a strong Red Bull or Red Mountain combo is definitely gonna be in the mix for the time being.

I had scarlet fever when I was 3 that left my Olfactory nerves fried. I have never remembered having a sense of smell. The only think I can truly smell is fingernail polish remover and that is if I put it right under my nose. I do have a sense of taste but I am sure that it is not probably what everybody else has but its the only thing I have ever known.

It usually doesn't bother me until I started vaping and hearing my family say how good it smells!

 

[Virtual Life]

Oh yeah. Did the salt water rinse. Grap the sink with both hands and hang on!

 

[edyle]

for anybody wanting to try a less DIY solution, you can get saline solution from the pharmacy

 

[gypsymage777]

Add a pinch of baking soda to salt water to take the bite out.

Good idea!

What I like to do is vape some Halo Sub-Zero when my sinuses are stuffed. Juice vapes so cold it usually clears up all of my sinus problems.

Six back of good beer clears my vapor toungue/nose right up.

The squeeze bottle is easier to use than the neti pot.

Yep I own both and also find the squeeze bottle much easier to use.

I use the squeeze bottle too along with distilled water, a little salt (that comes with the kit) and a tad of hydrogen peroxide. Works like a charm.
