Ok, so I started vaping one week ago today, no cigs since, after 25 years. Heres my question..and yes, its probably very strange, but im new! Since i started vaping, My tongue feels weird.. like its been burned or coated in slickness. Doesnt hurt, but feels slimy, a lil numb-like. Im vaping on a halo g6, and Ive struggled to finally find juice i like and can handle for the day. Im currently switching between halos "voodoo" and "malibu" flavors and have been since day 2 or 3. Ive brushed, mouthwashed, etc.. is this normal? Will it go away?

You have vaper's tongue and, yes it's common and normal and, does go away.

Make sure you are drinking extra water (or calorie free flavored water if plain water won't do.) Vaping dehydrates you more than smoking did and, tht seems to make vaper's tongue worse.

It can take quite a few tries to find the 2-4 ADVs (All Day Vapes) you like and do best with but, you'll find them, we all do, or we land with 2-4 main ones we alternate through the day.

PG has slighty hygroscopic properties - drinking more is sage advice. With the dryness of the tongue, the gunk becomes more concentrated. Couple that with the fact that your taste buds are slowly recovering from decades of smoke/tar bombardment and you taste what anlogs really taste like... you're in best company. As the others said , it'll pass...

It isn't strange. I've noticed some juices will do it more than others. I figure its still better than the goat breath cigarettes gave me.

By the way, congrats on not smoking.

Hey Tvan ... lol, comparing cigarette breath to goat's breath is an insult to goats everywhere ;)

OP ... your tongue will rebound ... don't be discouraged :2cool:

I currently am suffering from the dreaded vapors tongue, day 3 now. How long does this last??? It's driving me crazy. Just bought some 10ml bottles of Menthol, Frost Bite and Cinnamon Red Hots from the local gas station and I can taste those for the moment, but I want my ADV Vanilla Caramel back badly.:cry:

Does it have anything to do wit how long you smoked and how much? I was 2 PAD for 25 years.
 
Man this sucks. My vapers tongue has been going strong for a while now. But for me it isn't just that I can't taste the vapor I can't taste much of anything either. Also my tongue feels burnt. At first it was just the tip of my tongue but now it has spread. I am curious if switching to 100% vg will even help cause I have drastically reduced my vaping as well. No improvement yet :(
