Lost of Taste..

[Tera Bailey]

On Monday will be my 1 month of vaping... Have not touched a sick stick for over 30 days. How does this fit this thread? I will explain a little.

I found out of the things were true about when someone quits heavy smoking. That thing is the fact your taste buds kind of go mute. Still somewhat taste some things but they have to be strong. I am told this lasts about a week or so.

With that said I have a question or two...

Have you experianced this? and if so have you found a nice juice that helped you?

I can use some ideas of what to try because its weird that my favorite juice and other things I taste are a bit off... And I know its not the juice...

I'm 4 months off the stinkys and my taste buds have continued to change. If I get a juice I don't care for that much I put it away to try a month down the road. So far some of them are really good.

There are a lot of changes in moving from the stinkys. Check these links :

Remember to increase fluids, especially water. Vapors tongue happens to us all. Good luck in your journey.

After 40 yrs of stinkie puffing, my taste buds will never fully recover.
Two years in I started getting a little better flavour from my vanilla diy.
Same mixture I started with.
Recovery can be painfully slow.
Just my experience. Cheers.

you have vapers tongue ... it will pass.

vape the juice you like the least.

You have vaper's tongue. Happened to me about 1 month in and lasted a solid 2 weeks. I couldn't taste my juice AT ALL and found that I needed to put a lot more sweetener in my coffee. It was extremely frustrating, but I found that vaping menthol got me through because I could still feel the coldness.

Then one day I noticed I could taste a little sweetness in my juice. Then the next day my flavor was back.

Thankfully it hasn't happened again in my 2 years of vaping. Sometimes flavor will taste a little muted now and then, but never lasts for more than a day for me.

People will give you all kinds of wacky "remedies" and I tried them all and nothing helped. Patience. It will come back.

Vapor's tongue is really nothing more than the period your body is readjusting and healing. Your throat, sinuses, tongue, esophagus, and stomach all need to transition to the change. The best part is when it's gone, life is wonderful. Congratulations on making the switch.

Yes, Congratulations on kicking the stinks to the curb. When Vapors tongue kicks in for me, I just vape unflavored for a few days or like mentioned above, vape the stuff you least liked before while you can't taste.

I am 2 months off cigs and I got I guess vapors tongue a week ago. I really hope it goes away soon because I love the taste of my juice. But right now the taste is so muted Someone also said you get used to your juice and you need to switch it up from my normal 2. What's everyone's advice on that?

 

[WonderDude32]

It won't last long. That's the good news. My advice? It's a small price to pay for saving your own life. I know that probably isn't the popular answer you were looking for but it's truth. I don't bs people and it's just a part of making a positive change. I'm proud of every vaper I know and meet. Proud of you and myself and every other ex-smoker here. Hopefully we will all grow old and hold grandbabies and gripe how our parents used up all of our social security money. This is an inexact science and technically we're guinea pigs.

I find when all other flavors are muted, menthol seems to cut through with no problem. I also vape unflavored. It's slightly sweet and you still get the benefits of nicotine and throat hit. Those two seem to do it for me when my regular juices seem kind of subdued.

I make my own all the time so I keep switching it up anyway. I would have to say that it is true but I am not a scientist, or a chemist, or a doctor.... you get the hint
