Is it normal for this to happen?

[Maelui]

Okay, so I just want to say I did a search for this, and all I found was vapers tongue discussions, and that isn't what my question is about.

My question is.. I burnt my tongue on something hot, I think it was soup, and now I can't really taste my vape very much. It doesn't taste burnt, or anything, I just can't hardly taste it. I'm vaping Yeti Vape's Dirty Squatch, which is a fairly potent flavour, so it's not a weakling flavour. I tend to go for stronger vape flavours. Is this normal? Does this happen to anyone else if they burn their tongue?

I'm a sub ohmer, and my setup is: 0.3Ω or 0.5Ω kanthal coils in a melo 2 running on an istick 50W battery. I usually run it at 30.0W to 31.6W. Right now it's at 30.6W (I haven't changed the wattage since yesterday) with a .5 coil. I ran out of 0.3Ω coils, which I prefer over the 0.5Ω, but I have to deal with it for the time being until I can afford to buy more coils. So, .5 coil is what's in my tank right now, unfortunately. Hopefully that will answer any questions you might have about my setup.

I think you just need a day or two to let your tongue heal.

Burnt tongue will affect your sense of taste give it a few days and you'll notice the flavour again all dependent on how badly you burnt your tongue if it lasts longer then a week maybe go see your doctor.

Thanks guys! I hope it goes away in a few days. I haven't burnt my tongue in the 15 months that I've been vaping, so this is new to me. Hehe. I'm sad that I can't hardly taste my yummy strawberry blow pop flavour. I might switch flavours to a lemon meringue doughnut to see if that changes anything. I burnt it a few days ago, and it started healing, but then I ate some sour candy, and I think the acid in it hurt my tongue again, and now it's back to the way it was when I first burnt my tongue. Never doing that again!

By the way, @steam heat I'm a brodette, haha.

You might try taking some B Complex at bedtime; anytime I have any kind of sore or irrtation in my mouth/lips, if I take a B Complex at bedtime with a lot of water, when I wake the next morning it's very often completely mended. If it's not gone the next morning, do that for 2-4 nights, it should help.

My guess is you are going to have difficulty tasting food as well.

Give your tongue a few days to heal and it will come back. I've burned mine a few times and everything tastes weird for awhile. It's pretty normal.

Also... I really like the look of the pink istick.

Gargle with salt water.
Had to do this after some gum surgery, helps heal faster.
