Still unable to taste any vape...

[AliceShakara]

Hey there everyone!

I'm brand new here, but not new to vape.

My mom got me going when she got tired of me smoking.. she switched to vape, so why shouldn't her kids? Right?

Anyways.. my issue is: unable to taste my vape.. I've done some research before coming to you guys.

Things I've tried:

1. Brushing my tongue... alot
2. Trying new/varied flavors
3. Saltines
4. A netty pot for my nose (re hydration and all that stuff..)
5. Water.. omfg water.. so much water the doctor even said I'm awesome with water (woo gold star me?)
6. Tongue scraper

Now, I get a lot of posts that I've researched in multiple areas saying that people with this issue vape too often or they have some kind of nose issue..

I gotta say.. I'm a pretty light vaper myself.. I vape maybe 2-3 puffs a day just on my way too or from work.. so.. 5 days a week.

My nose: I've made sure there is no dryness, there is no congestion and that I can smell just fine.. which I can. (like I can smell my vape but still not taste it)

Someone please help ..... this has been going on for a few days now.....

I have the same problem periodically since I started vaping. It eventually improves after a few days and seems to come back about twice a month. I haven't figured out what causes it, and I haven't figured out how to prevent/cure it. My wife has no problems whatsoever.

My most recent hypothesis is that my allergies to dust (and everything else) flare-up and I take some Clariton. Almost an instinctive response by now. Maybe it's the allergies. Maybe it's the drug. It does seem to be at least partially related to either.

Brushing my tongue is what fixes this problem for me. I wouldn't know what else. Maybe get stronger flavors

I wish that worked.. I've tried a few different flavors. I tried Moon Sugar (my fave.) Page 6 (also a fave) and also tried Queenside (moms fave..more of a citrus flavor). I can't taste any of them..

And as I said.. Brushing my tongue as much as I have so far is just making it raw now.. pift.... ):

Yeah.. My husband has no issues and thought that I just needed to switch flavors. So I've been doing a flavor wheel at this point.. switching between all the flavors I have.

I haven't been doing this for a year yet so I'm not sure how my allergies affect it yet.. so curious at this point.. haha

It may be that you are only vaping 2 or 3 puffs a day. The wick may be drying out or some thing of the such. I have had to do 2 or 3 quick puffs ( not inhaleing but blowing it away) in the morning just to get the device geared up after sitting over night. Many factors, what device, what juice.

Vapors tongue usually is some thing that happens to some one who vapes more consistantly than 2 or 3 times a day.

I gotta say.. Thinking it might be an issue with the device is not something I've thought of yet. Hahaha! I love how when there's an issue my first instinct is 'I must be broken.. gotta fix me..'.

When I get home today, I'll try to take a few hits from my moms device and then try my husbands.

That's a good place to start. When a coil gets gunked up it will mute the flavor. High VG liquid gunks it up faster.

Another thing that you can do for vaper's tongue is to eat/drink something acidic--vinegar, suck on a lemon slice, etc.

However, I have to agree with others that this is very unlikely to be a case of vaper's tongue. Vaper's tongue generally happens to people who vape heavily (usually the same or similar flavors). That's obviously not what's going on in your case. . .

i dont taste any flavor either... i smell it, but with vaping there is just this sharp PG(?) taste... at least i think its PG...

if it was "vapers tongue", then i should at least taste some flavor in the morning ?

perhaps its because the "pg"-taste overrules any flavor on some ppls tastebuds ?

i didnt have this "problem" when smoking hookah...

When i cant taste stuff i just drink coffee and it works for me hahaha

 

[AliceShakara]

So.. I'm getting confused now.. I replaced the coil and I could only barely taste the juice.. Like I could tell what flavor I have but it was so subtle I could barely tell (other than smell it)

This is super disheartening..ah...

Had my husband try my vape and he couldn't really taste it either. I tried his and couldn't taste his at all. But then he tried his after I did and then he couldn't taste his.... I THINK I'm breaking things by touching them! AH!!!

LOL too funny. but seriously have you changed the PG/VG ratio lately? They say more PG more flavor, more VG more vapor.

I just ordered a batch of varied flavors from Halo. .... hopefully I will get them soon.. I'm going to try all of them ...x.x... They are at a different PG VG than what I use now. For got what it was though ):

 

[Rugar7]

Halo is way to expensive. Ive ordered from MTBaker but it didn't have much flavor and I wasn't impressed at all. Ive also used Bulkejuice.com and their ejuice was very flavorful at a very good price.

I'll look in to the bulkejuice next time.. This was just a "oo thats pretty" and "oo variety pack!" "MUST GET NOW!" Moment.

Thanks for the info on MTBaker though.. Had a guy at work say they were ok. But he's iffy on info lol

Try priming your atty by taking a hit but not hitting the button. Do this about 2-3 times before actually taking a real hit.

 

[AliceShakara]

...omg.. I ..can.. taste.. I love you guys Omfg yaaaay!

I just hold the button till I hear the little crinkle noise.. take a hit.. and I'm good..Icacan't believe that was it.. think I'm hooked on this forum now lol
