Menthol Mouth?

[Charming]

Good evening to all who can actually taste their vapes. I am not included in this group, perhaps as a result of vaping a strong menthol juice all day? I've had *vape mouth* in the past (who hasn't) but this is different somehow. I'm sure the *fix* is to lay off the menthol but I'm left wondering how much menthol is too much? I really do enjoy a cool one now and then, so will be sad if I discover this is how it'll always end up. Any and all insight appreciated.

I'm not a doctor, but I believe menthol can act as an oral anesthetic. That's why it's in cough drops and cough syrup. You probably jus overloaded on it if you've been vaping it all day and numbed your taste buds. I expect you'll get your taste back in a few hours

Thanks for your input that I suspect is correct. Might as well vape some flavorless for the rest of the night; aaargggh!

I vape a lot of menthols, usually during the day and I absolutely love them. However, by the time evening rolls around they start to lose their taste so I move to unflavored or one of the few tobaccos I really like. By the next day I'm all reset and ready for my menthols again.

Bottom line? When your menthols start to lose their bite, time to switch up...works for me

When your sense of taste returns, you might want to cut your menthols with unflavored, maybe 25 - 50%, and see if that keeps your taste buds in better shape. I can't believe I was fine with Arctic Wolf a couple years ago - I can't handle it at even cut in half now. I gradually dropped my flavoring level and now a lighter mint/menthol hits the spot just fine while leaving my taste buds intact. Good luck!
