why do vapers get vape tongue and smokers don't get smoke tongue?
I wonder why?

Just a guess but, probably because with vapor your tastebuds are getting blasted with intense flavors all day and eventually your taste receptors become dulled to those types of tastes.
With cigs you'd smoke one every hour or so, so your receptors had time to recoup in between. Plus you did have a permanent smokers tounge, it just wasn't as obvious. If you go smoke a cig now it'll taste like 5lbs of crap because you can actually taste again.
But like sometimes i can't taste the vapor so i want a new flavor....but with cigarettes I was satisfied with the same brand....and the last two days i have been smoking due to that, ugh

especially the mornings are bad, i need something strong that will kick me in the head!
I don't feel like I'm getting that from vape
plus I've been stressing hard in life in general lately...and cigs seem to give me something for that, that vaping doesn't
even though the cigs don't taste good anymore
gah!
I think DoggieTony has a point - most of the liquids we vape are strong(er) flavors that we bombard our tongues with all day long. If we ate the intense foods all day, I'm sure it would be the same, we would be numb to taste after a while. I can't explain it scientifically and am only guessing, but it seems the vapor's tongue phenomenon is only temporary and once you are past that, you can taste again, and with more discernment, if that makes sense. I know people have tried cucumber/mint type juices and citrus like (lemon, orange) to help with vapor's tongue - those may help.
Sorry this is happening to you. Are you drinking plenty of water? This is key! I find that switching up flavors often helps too. If I vape one thing for too long I can't taste it after a while but if I vape something else for a while (I can taste the new flavor) & come back to it I can taste it again. Also get you a good tongue scraper. Sadly, it's sometimes a phase that we go through when we're transitioning to vaping.
It's a habit, one we were well-accustomed to for a long time. It takes time to break. And remember there are many chemicals in cigarettes that only exacerbate the addiction process. You may be someone who actually enjoys smoking or you may just be seeking to fill that void in the same way you always have (or have for a long time - by smoking). It's not the same - vaping and smoking - at least for me it's not. And it never will be. And I will always miss smoking (most parts about it), so I understand. What mg liquid are you vaping right now?

Just a guess. Maybe because smoking a cigarette is much more than taste. There's a whole lot of other stuff that affects you. There's a bit of a high in cigarettes that isn't in vaping. The nicotine gets to your brain much quicker and there seems to be other stuff as well. I never get the buzz from vaping that I often got from cigarettes.
at first i started out with stuff form the local vape store and it was really strong flavored and chemical and sickening to me after a short time...then i discovered some online shops and some more real subtle flavors that i really liked. (I have only been vaping for about 6 weeks)
but now it seems like i need a stronger flavor again...
I'm using a twist with a protank. I don't know maybe it's because so many things i have ordered don't taste like much because they need to steep.....I have a bunch of stuff from high desert vapes and alice in vapeland that have to steep cuz they are so mild now or even no flavor
I'm using 18 mg. I was a pack a day or more smoker, right now i'm smoking dunhill lights in the blue pack, or normally i did yellow pack American spirits, they aren't supposed to have chemicals..maybe I need to try WTA vapes, or just have more will power.
It is a habit though, a comfort zone i fell back to in a way i guess...
It's like now i've been wanting a good strong tobacco flavor vape with high nicotine, maybe that's what i need instead of fruity stuff and mild stuff, maybe up it to 24 mg, idk
I have started taking an old bottle of zyban that i hadn't really tried before
