I'm typing this up because, quite frankly, the phrase "vapers tongue" really makes me mad. It irritates me to no end. No I am not physically mad, but it is just so dang stupid.
Can we please stop? (This is more opinion that total fact, but pull up a chair while I mini-rant)
Vapers tongue seems to be that point where "I can't taste my vape of choice"
Nose Blind is the point where your brain shuts down certain sensory perceptions to non harmful odors and you "get use to them".
The vast majority of vaping is a smell perception. As much as we all say "Tasting" we all generally REALLY mean a "taste sensation" or to say, "This juice smells delicious".
If you exhale through only your mouth, you get a very minor total sensation, if you plug your nose with your hand, or if you know how to close off your sinus off. Now if you have a sour, sweet, salty, savory..etc style juice your taste buds can generally pick that up, but with your nose plugged the smell/flavor is muted down considerably in comparison.
If you "rinse" your sinus out with a Neti Pot or whatever they call those things it will reawaken your nose since you essentially, "Cleansed the palette". It's no different than eating Ginger between tasty bites of Sushi. You essentially "Start over".
Your tongue is not dead. It just plays such a tiny tiny roll in e-liquid sensation. Your nose is not dead, it's just tired of the same smell. Switch it up! You don't need to go rinsing out your nose or gargle special solutions. You are what they have normalized as "Nose Blind".
If you doubt that, keep a couple tanks on hand and switch as your "taste" diminishes. All the goodness is still going to be there when you come back, and in fact it never left. Your brain does have an auto pilot for certain things.
Just remember all those times that a room stank, but then it didn't. Your brain just basically said, "Ok shutting down that sensation". You will still pick up smells from other things, but that one, while you are around it, will have diminished to near nothing, or nothing. Then when you reintroduce yourself to it later, it's mysteriously back! OMG!!
Anyway, please stop with this silly Vaper Tongue stuff, it is just the silliest thing on many, MANY levels.
I'm going to adopt something new, because I can, and my rant is almost over...sooo..
OMG!!!!! I'm VAPER BLIND!!!!
