Hello all

[melew]

I just wanted to say hello to everyone on this forum and introduce myself. I started vaping towards the beginning of March and quit cigarettes two weeks and one day ago.

There have been some trying times, but I managed to get through them. I think what helped the most was reading about everyone else's experiences as well. So, there may be times that I'm just vaping away staring at a screen, but that's OK, right?

I've been lurking for a little bit, but wanted to join in. I'm using a Provari mini 2.5 with nautilus Aspire and have a wicked case of vapor's tongue. Seriously, lemons, listerine, scrubbing isn't working.

Welcome! Vapor's tongue should go away soon. Sweet set up by the way for a beginner can't go wrong with a provari is a US product.

 

[Lurch]

Welcome! And congratulations on quitting smoking and starting Vaping!!
You started out with some top line equipment!! Vapor's tongue can be annoying, but it will get better. I changed flavors periodically and it seemed to help me. The good news is, it doesn't last forever!!

 

[GeorgeWachsmuth]

Welcome! Nice setup you are starting with! Vapors tongue will pass...hang in there...

hey melew, welcome to the big `ole ECF

congrats on kickin bad habits...

the way I find to counter 'vapors mouth' is vape the
other side of the flavor spectrum...

and to me that means; I prefer dark, thick, sweet, mostly tobacco based juice
so when I encounter vape mouth, I load up menthols in my gear (light, clear, sharp)

puf awhile on menthol, then a puf of 555, my taste buds are slam'in around in my mouth...

just hang in there, you'll go thru many changes as a new vapor'er
drink lots of water...

welcome! try a flavor out of your normal taste preference and leave your favs alone for a few days. least that seems to work for me. good luck. <*}}}>{

quit cigarettes two weeks and one day ago.

A milestone if I ever heard one. Every one of us here knows this is no small feat.

And my solution for the occasional vaper's tongue is to just suck on a small piece of candy while I vape. Pick your flavor.

 

[Jugband]

Welcome to ECF! That is a nice set up you have! Switching up your flavors should help you with vapers tounge.

 

[melew]

Oh, wow, y'all, thanks for the response. It helps so much to talk to people who have been and know there what you're going through.

I will try all the vapor tongue things. It's so weird that it starts for me that I can only taste the tartness of fruits and it just hurts and then turns to nothing.

Still, much better than analogs! It is so nice to be able to say I'm a non-smoker!

Welcome melew. I started vaping in Nov 2013 and haven't looked back. Nice setup, I have a provari and a Russian 91. Rebuilding is fun. Remember to drink more water.

 

[melew]

Thanks much you guys! I'm not yet a big rebuilder or anything, but that could change. And hopefully it will. And always with the water.

ECF is the place to get your skills and knowledge up to speed in a hurry. Welcome to ECF, Melew!

Vaping dries you out. Drink lots of water and the flavor stays with you. If you don't, you will dry out slightly and the taste buds go to sleep.

I like the candy thing for keeping the mouth moist. Sugarless is probably a good idea, though.

 

[melew]

Thanks again for the advice. There's only so much water you can drink sometimes.

 

[pmPalidin]

Too, been lurking for a while.
Thought I would say Hi!. I'm doing the tounge thin, also.

 

[melew]

I thought the first week would be the hardest, but I had some high Nic and High PG for a first thing early morning sitch.

 

[Cloud Pump]

Congrats! and Hello.

 

[lavall39]

Hello and welcome to ecf

 

[DaveP]

I use peppermint to keep the juices flowing. My regular peppermint is a pack of Breath Savers. They are sugarless and don't rot your teeth. It's pretty amazing how well they work for keeping the saliva flowing while vaping. You still have to stay hydrated, though.

 

[pmPalidin]

Amazing it took so long to get back--can't work this thing.
Hey melew!
Looking forward to communicating in the near future.

We had similar beginnings. Provari/Nautilus. I've moved on to RBAs but for anyone else thinking about a painless way to get started, if you have the means, highly recommended. Welcome.
