How do I know if I have vapers tongue?

[ChelsB]

I ask because not all my ejuice is tasteless, just certain flavors aren't nearly as pronounced for me any more. I've been off analogs for 5 months, so I feel like my tastebuds should be healed by now...

That sounds about the right time for vapers tongue to set in. But, then, most flavors will be bland.

A lot of juices taste better fresh, then steep into a flavor less exciting. I find that to be true with flavors with a lot of sweetener.

Also, your taste buds might just be bored and need another flavor mixed into the daily rotation.

Some flavors also have a tendency to fade after a few days. Just add 1 or 2% more flavor to see if that adjusts for you.

It may be better to actually mix the flavors for a 15 to 30ml bottle(but only if you are sure you like that recipe) then when mixing use whatever % to mix up your ejuices.( ie. if total flavor for finished ejuice = x%) It actually works very well especially when needing to add more flavor. The %'s in your recipe can be adapted to make a bottle of just the flavoring.

Everyone is different but for me certain flavors become imperceptible after vaping just a few mls, vanilla (my favorite flavor) is one of those. With vapors tongue a juice that is normally vibrant in flavor will suddenly taste like nothing but warm air, you can no longer taste it. Many people rotate several distinctly different flavors of juice to help prevent this.

For me, it's strawberry that's my favorite that I can no longer taste

Hi ChelsB
Yes I like strawberry too and it is sad when I can't taste that wonderful flavor. Ever notice how great that first vape of the morning tastes when you take a nice small vape and let it roll about your tongue and drift out your nose?Tastiest vape of the day.

I also like strawberry/kiwi and can buy real juice made from concentrates in the flavor that tastes identical to the vape juice. It always amuses me to drink the real juice then try vaping the ejuice which then has zero noticeable flavor to it.

I've seen folks suggest things like lemon juice, water, vaping flavorless, or simply vaping other flavors as a way of avoiding the dreaded vapor's tongue. I opted for the latter and always have at least 2 flavors with me at all times. Right now here at work I have 5 different flavors on my desk.

I've been experimenting with some solutions and have found anything that shocks your system with sour or spice seems to get rid of it

I have 3 flavors I alternate: strawberry milk, candy cane and pink spot by pink spot vapors. The pink spot one is the only one I can consistently taste, but it's also the priciest!
Maybe I need to add another flavor? What are your 5 flavors?

Do you have a specific flavor recommendation? I really don't care for cinnamon, what other spices do you use?

So far I have only tried lemon juice and found a little even in water helps and as far as spices I've used red pepper and a spiced homemade rub that I put on about everything. Anything that's got a real strong taste so far has helped but I just began experimenting today to see what helps

Silly me, I thought you meant vaping spice-flavored ejuice. [emoji38]I love spicy food so maybe that will help!

Yeah I guess I should have been more clear lol. Yeah so far any foods and drinks with a strong spice or sour taste really seems to help. So far lemon seems to have worked the best

I wonder why this doesn't happen with analogs? At least for me, I was always able to taste the smokes. But I'm certainty not giving up!

The principal fluid that protects taste receptor sites is saliva. Breaks down 'food stuffs' & delivers flavors.
No saliva, no taste.
Lemon juice, with a hard wipe with paper does help.
There are 3 saliva glands, age, calcification, & disase take their toll.

In vaping, the fact that your mouth is dried out, will attenuate taste.
Anotherwards, if you're drooling your tasting..

Anyone else want to share how they've cured cases of vapers tongue?

I have found that drinking lemon flavored water or eating Lemon Sorbet is one way to cure vape tongue and also eating a pickle or some fresh pineapple wakes those taste buds right up. Others have suggested coffee but that has never worked for me with the high test I drink in the morning.

 

[wvducklady]

When getting vapers tongue I brush my teeth and specifically my tongue. Also, I drink a bottle of water. I have also ate pickles or something sour that makes my mouth water. Those all have helped with me
