Help I think I have Vapors Tongue!!

[Shawn Delegal]

Well, I think I have run into a major issue.

When I began vaping, everything tasted delicous, fruits flavors desserts everything taste good, now it tastes like a dry mouth disgusting vap, with a little burn, Basically its tasteless.

The vape hits good, good cloud, nice hit, but the taste is just blank, and I think it is effecting other things taste as well.

I just quit smoking two weeks ago two packs a day cold turkey, I now use an Istick50w with Sub Ohm 0.5 Aspire Atlantis tank, and I love the tank. I think I need some help please advise.....

It sounds like vapor's tongue to me. It won't last forever and there are ways to wake up your taste buds but I'm afraid I don't remember what at the moment. Maybe somebody else can help.

Edit: After doing some research here on the forum I found what worked for a few people.
1) Drink black coffee or smell coffee grounds. (Don't know how much to drink or how long to smell)
2) Vape unflavored ejuice for awhile.
3) Vape mint, menthol or cinnamon for awhile.
4) Try Biotene chewing gum found in the toothpaste aisle.
5) Brush your tongue when brushing your teeth.
6) Drink lots of water. If you think you are drinking enough, drink some more.

Edit:Edit: If you vape the same flavor all the time, this can lead to Vapor's Tongue. Switching flavors often should help prevent it.

It'll take time for your taste buds to recover from smoking. In the meantime drink plenty of water and I've heard biotene toothpaste works good for vapors tongue, although I have not tried it myself. Good luck to you.

Consensus has been 4-6 weeks before taste buds recover - for me it was 4 weeks but didn't realize it til week 5

Other things get better as well - morning cough (your cilia in your lungs are no longer paralyzed) and lighter upper respiratory - but that takes months..... from all who have reported such things....

And if you just got the istick 50 and subtank, where before you were vaping something else when the tastes were better, you may be at too high a wattage - which can burn out some flavors and get a burn taste as well.

Could very well be vapers tongue or your atomizer may be to blame. Try a new head or another atomizer if you have it. If there is no difference then the only fix is time. Reducing your nic level can help IMHO. Take heart it will get better. Oh one other thing allergies affect taste may want to try higher VG juice. Make sure now that you are vaping to drink lots of water. A bit of lemon in the water also cleans the tongue and mouth.

You've got some good advice. It happens and it will clear.

I liked to drink sierra mist, 7up, ect. It clears your pallette and relieves the film on your tounge. The bubbles feel greaton vapors tounge..... Also Brush more, drink more water!

Unflavored juice is good. Also one thing that leads to vape tounge is highly flavored juices. Many times you can reduce store bought juices to bring the flavor down and it still tastes good but doesn't wreck your taste buds.

Have a pickle and switch to unflavored for a while. Or try menthol eliquids.

This too shall pass.

And don't drink too much water... That's not good either.
