Can't taste nothing

[Arenz]

I have the worst case of vapors tongue in the history of vaping! 2 damn weeks! My tongue is numb, lips are dry. ...? I have tried it all... Brushing, flossing, mouth wash, Bactirin dry mouth rinse, smelling coffee grounds, eating spicy foods, all my juices, cleaning my tanks, new coils, and drank enough water to irrigate the Sahara. I changed nothing in my diet, exercise, vaping, and/or lifestyle. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. HELP!!!

Hmm 2 weeks! That is odd and I hope I don't have to go through that. I think you tried everything that would be recommended.

I'm having the same issue at the moment and I started vaping 9 months ago. For over a week I haven't been able to taste any juice in any of my builds. At first I thought maybe I had totally forgotten how to wick every one of my RBAs properly, but I don't think that's the case.

I'm not experiencing the numb tongue or dry lips like you mentioned, but I can not seem to taste any juice no matter how many times i rip the coil off and make new coils and wicks and try new juices.

Is 2 weeks a long time for vaper's tongue? I've never had it last any shorter than that. I haven't had it in quite awhile, but my remedy was Menthol ejuice for about 3 days straight. The was the last time I ever had vaper's tongue, but I managed to develop and rid myself of vaper's tongue doing this in under a week.

I would'nt wish this on anybody. I'm close to seeing the Dr. here. I have never experienced anything like it. I dont like menthol at all but Im considering some Kringles Curse from Halo.

I vape menthol tobacco's allot mostly diy. I have two main recipes only thing that changes would be the amount of menthol compared to vapers tongue, the worse it gets the more menthol Ill add. Its kinda hard when you purchase your fluid but one things for sure, menthol is always noticeable and never goes away at least not for me.

The longest I had vapors tongue was 2 maybe 3 days. Tongue numb and dry lips (if you are hydrated properly) sounds like something else. Maybe it is time to see the Doc. What is your pg/vg ratio?

 

[Arenz]

Most of my juices are 50/50. I am thinking of seeing the doc. This is getting ridiculous.

Can't taste nothing

That is a double negative.
It means you can taste something.

try a little bit of honey on the tongue. its the only thing that has ever helped and i have had a similar situation a couple of times before i found the cure for me. Good Luck...

It's the consequence of too high nic level, have some desert and drink more water.

Rinse your mouth out with water and baking soda. It seemed to help me. Just a spoonful in a glass of water and rinse a few mouthfuls. If it tastes like .... then it's working.

in the six months plus we've been vaping I've never had vapor's tongue..I have had a sinus infection with this flu and couldn't taste anything for the better part of two weeks.

get checked out.

are you able to smell things?? smelling a foul smell now and then? (that's usually a sinus infection)

but taste bud fatigue shouldn't cause lasting numbness, too much nicotine can cause numbness.


hope you get it figured out..I remember the morning I could taste my juice again..oh yeah!! good stuff!

I had vapers tongue for about 2 and half weeks. I feel your pain, it was complete torture. When I wasn't able to taste food, I went to my ENT doctor who never heard of this condition. He took a scope all the way up my nose and couldn't see the problem. It was actually kind of funny how intrigued he was, he was googling vapers tongue while I sat there. Anyway, the remedy im afraid is just time. I stopped vaping and started smoking again. A week later it was gone. Im so afraid of getting it again now that im back in my vaping groove. But just remember, its not permanent as much as it freaking sucks. Hang in there

That is one reason I went to unflavored. All the liquids tasted the same or no taste. Mine lasted for aroundt a year. About 6 months ago I finally started tasting the liquids again. Now it isn't that I can't taste them... They are just funky compared to unflavored.

 

[alicewonderland]

maybe you burnt your tongue, or your coil is all gunky. i know sometimes if i burn my tongue i cant taste anything, and i been using a coil for a while the gunk on it builds up as well as on the cotton, because when i put in a new coil i get that fresh strong flavor again from the same eliquid

 

[sgilners]

That sucks! sorry, I have no advice.

 

[Arenz]

Thanks for your suggestions. I tried them all. My mouth is not as dry as it has been. I also went and picked some Halo- Kringles Curse. I don't usually like anything minty but I can sure taste this stuff!

Can't taste nothing.
-
Of course not silly, nobody can taste nothing because nothing has no flavor.

People are misunderstanding Vapors tongue.
Sensory Overload should not last more than a few days..............unless you are continually overloading the senses. Time to recover is as important as any other home remedy.

Also - Colds/Flu/Sinus infections can cause loss of Taste. This is not Vapors tongue.

Reduce Vaping
Vape opposing flavors - Fruits instead of Tobaccos/etc.
Vape Unflavored
Reduce Nic intake
Drink Lemonade

Good Luck!
