6 days and counting

[Yolande Wals]

Hi all.
this is day 6 for me vaping.
When I decided to quite cigarettes and start vaping the choices were overwhelming.
Went on to the internet and I could...or should I say ...still can not understand half of all the terms.

Bought the KangerTech Evod Bcc
enjoying it very much.
I am using the Hill Blend 1.8% Dragon juice.

i have heard a about vapor tongue, and at this stage I can taste nothing....
The only taste that I can recognize is sweet. No salt at all. My poor family is eating very salty food at the moment, because when I cook supper and taste the food it seems like it needs more salt.
last night at supper time I could not even taste the salty meat.
I remember reading that sucking on a piece of lemon gets the taste buds going again, and it did help.
how long will this last??

i have not tried other flavors yet, will go and get some more on Monday.
any suggestions are welcome

Congrats on making the switch! In regards to vape tongue, are you staying well hydrated? During the first few weeks, you're going to be really dried out from the PG/VG. Just make sure you're drinking enough water and you'll be fine. I've been vaping for over two years now, and I still will get vape tongue if I go a long period without water.

As you mentioned, other flavors may help to keep your taste buds stimulated, as they will get numb to a flavor with excessive exposure to said flavor. A juice that I use as a palette cleanser of sorts is a pineapple/menthol blend. I think many vendors carry a version of it (pineapple ice, or something along those lines).

Thank you Brian.
Will go to the supplier on monday and get some more juice.
So wish I can drink coffee again. I love coffee, have at least 20 cups a day, even have a Nespresso machine so it is available at the push of a button.
Since I started vaping, I can not stand the taste of coffee, it tastes like burnt beans. I now drink tea....

It sounds like you're just dehydrated more than you're used to. PG/VG plus coffee would definitely require a lot of H2O . Might I suggest Smart Water? I love that stuff...and it's Vapor Distilled!! It's meant to be used by us vapers!

Please reposrt back on how switching flavors contributes or helps your vapors tongue.

I've been unable to taste anything for nearly 3 weeks now! I get something, but it's mainly bitter with just a hint of whatever flavour it's supposed to be.
I've bought unflavoured juice now and stick to the two flavours I can taste : mint and tobacco.
I've just received a load of samples this morning and can taste the gingerbread! Whoop! So now I have three that I can taste!
Try some really strong flavours - I'd love to try custard and cheesecake and all this lovely stuff everyone else talks about but there's absolutely no point at the moment.
I'm not worried - Ive asked on here and been reassured that its completely normal. My nose hasn't been happy since I started vaping so I assume its something to do with that.

If this is new with your vaping and not just carryover from smoking, I'd say grab more varied flavors of juice. My taste was trashed my smoking, I had no idea that I was tasting as little as I was. I was a pipe smoker which made it worse. It took almost a month before I began tasting things that I hadn't in years and years. Things that I thought tasted good were really terrible. Things that I thought had no flavor are actually very flavorful. To keep from getting 'vaper's tongue' I use five or more juices, switching up during the day. Currently, I use a bakery in the morning. A coffee after I am finished with my morning coffee. Either a strong menthol fruit or a complex fruit during the day and a rich chocolate after dinner. Works for me. Hope this helps. Second on drinking water, it really helps. Good luck, welcome and have fun!

New flavors arrived
Just love the Vanilla and mint.
Tried loading a photo, but it does not seem possible from ipad.
At least I can taste the 2.
Taste buds still away on holiday. Can still not taste salt, only taste that is working on my tongue at the
Moment is sweet.

I started vaping a little over 2 months ago. Since the day I received my protank II and mvp II I haven't had a single cigarette. It's been much easier than I had hoped. If you like sweet vapes you might like tribecca from halo, its a sweet caramel nutty mix with tobacco undertones (at least to my taste buds). I've also been vaping some cinnamon roll but don't recommend that if your using a plastic tank. Good luck with quitting!!!

Congrats and keep up the good work!

Sniff some coffee grounds. Take a big long whiff. It should "reset" your tastebuds.

Also, keep hydrated!

And make sure you don't have a cold. When I am sick I literally cannot taste ANYTHING!

Thank you all.
It is day 13 today...and vaping like a pro....hahahaha
Still can not taste......only sweet things.
Have been using mint....vanilla, grape
Not complaining.....just so impressed that I am starting to be able to smell again.
It is amazing how cigarettes affects put ability to smell.
