hi,
what equipment are you using?
How long ago did you quit smoking?
If you can't taste flavours, switch to unflavoured. It's better for you and the nicotine is the same.
In a week or so try flavours again at a 50% dilution. (half flavour/ half unflavoured)
This is also a wonderful opportunity to use up all those flavours/juices that you hated/put in the draw for later.
A stick of mint gum while vaping may be enough to keep the flavour monkey quiet.

Hello Neven. You could try a mint or menthol juice until it passes. Vapers tongue doesn't happen as often down the road and rarely lasts more than a day or two when it does. If you don't diy using less sweeter juices helps some people avoid it.
In addition to the menthol and mint flavors suggested by Letitia, I might add try using a cinnamon flavor. It doesn't have to be one of those "hot" red cinnamon flavors, but something more akin to a spicy cinnamon. My current favorite flavor is Coffee Cake made by Spring Vapor, which has a dash of spicy cinnamon in it.
I've been vaping for over 6 years. I seem to get a temporary bout of vaper's tongue every year which lasts less than a week. I think in my case it comes from vaping the same flavor day in a day out, so I'm trying to learn to change out my flavor profile occassionally to avoid flavor saturation.

I seldom get vt anymore, I do keep some Purilum butter mint mixed up just incase. If I feel it coming on I just hit the mint off and on for a couple days. Seems to help.
Welcome and glad you joined.
Some of my general flavor categories I use frequently in rotation:
Bakery
Butterscotch / Butter Rum/Toffee
Caramel
Chocolate
Cinnamon
Nut
Peanut Butter
Tobacco
Any Caramel RY4 combination, some Cinnamon's, most tobaccos too name a few can be strong flavors.
Bits of croissant followed by a mouthful of distilled water, then spit out after swishing is said to refresh the pallet. Bread absorbs flavors, saltines can be used to stimulate taste buds back to normal. Malt vinegar mouthwash it's said to clean the palate, then vape right away.
Arm & Hammer Dental Care Fluoride Toothpaste is suppose to prevent vaper mouth.
I diy many different flavors and always have 5 different flavors in my daily rotation. This may be why I've never experienced vapor tongue.
That’s what I do, too. When I first started vaping though, and only used one flavor, I did have vapers tongue and nothing fixed it but more flavors.
I've been vaping since Nov. 2013, and I've only had vapor's tongue 2 times...and that was in 2014, for about 3 days each time. For about the last year I've been vaping the same DIY eliquid all day, every day. Sometimes I'll vape about 1mL or less of a different one, maybe once a week at the most, but that's it. So for me anyway, and possibly others...vaping the same eliquid instead of a variety of different ones, isn't what causes vapor's tongue if/when we get it.
In my particular case, when I got it 2 times...I was able to discover that eating something with fairly strong garlic in it, is what caused mine. I've also talked to a few other people who've had the same discovery with garlic. So certain foods or spices may also be the cause of vapor's tongue for some people.
To get mine to clear up, I ate just 1 of those little Cinnamon Red Hot candies...the ones we used to buy in the little box at the neighborhood store when we were kids. Most convenience stores still carry them.

Would trying one or twice a day to see if flavor is back effect how long it takes for me to get it fully back?
I had to switch to an extream different flavor for at least a week straight.
It should come back eventually.
You could try a juice that has a strong flavor. I had some red hot cinnamon juice once that was so strong I had to dilute it with VG. This is it DINO'S RED HOT CINNAMON VAPE JUICE

Try some lemon ZEST dude. Chew it. It's bitter lemon.
But the bottom line (I am a fan of a tongue scraper too if you haven't gotten one. Scrape off those dead damaged tastebuds and the new ones will grow in FASTER)
Also, unflavored like, will help you won't have the "expectation of taste," and it will be less frustrating.
Got it once, it passed in about 3 days etc.
Also, don't freak, don't freak out (repeat a jillion times). I fully expect it to return this time I have relapsed into periodic smoking but (IMHO) if you rotate flavors and just vape you may only get it once, etc.

Your garlic theory is intriguing to me. Couldn’t taste any juice yesterday and ate a ton of garlic hummus the day before that. Now I’ll have to pay attention and see if it happens again the next time I decide to keep vampires away.
Now that garlic is mentioned, I have similar vapor tongue instance after I have consumed garlic and chili. I couldn't taste the flavor despite rotating 3 different ejuices.
