That makes sense to me; one reason (aside from my asthma) that I wouldn't care for lung-hitting is that it would miss most of my tastebuds. I couldn't deal with unflavored because I use at least 85% PG, which I think must taste pretty bad, it sure doesn't smell good -- the smell of it reminds me of the "antiseptic" smell in a doctor's office, almost like alcohol.
Have you given any thought to trying out PEG400 (polyethylene glycol)? I tried it at one point when I was suffering so dreadfully with dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, but I found the taste odd, and it seemed, from what I read, that it wouldn't help my problems, as it's likely as hygroscopic as PG and VG. But I wonder if it might give your tongue some relief. I got some via Amazon. It's just as harmless as the other more common carriers, in fact it's sometimes a major ingredient of laxatives (Dulcolax, et al), though it's a little more costly.
