I've been vaping for nearly 4 months now. I have issues with dry mouth, numb tongue, and losing my flavors VERY quickly, and I have had these issues all along, for the past 4 months. I always have 2 or 3 tanks going with different flavors so I can switch back and forth throughout the day or I can't taste any e-liquid, even though I taste my food and drinks just fine. I've recently started DIY liquids, like just yesterday I started using my own mixes. I thought maybe if I had some control over what went in them I could improve my mouth issues. I heard or read that pg can dry the mouth more than vg and it's not real easy to find a 100% vg mix. So I'm mixing with 20% DW, my flavorings, VT nic and the rest vg. I'm still very dry in the mouth, maybe even more than before and I drink a ton of water, but I noticed this evening that when I took a mouth full of water and swished it around in my mouth like I usually do, the water got kind of thick, like maybe there was a thick coating of glycerin coating my mouth? It went away after a few mouths full of water. I thought maybe it was a fluke, so I vaped for a bit more and tried it again. Low and behold, the same thing happened. Now I'm not a chain vaper mind you; I only go through 2 maybe 3 ml a day, so I'm not sucking on my pv all the time. Anyway, my question is: is it possible that the increased vg in my liquids is causing a heavy coating on my tongue, causing greater dryness and numbness or am I just hallucinating? And if so, any suggestions what I can do to remedy the issues, since I was having this same problem before when I was using liquids that were 50-60% pg as well.
