The Curse of the Vaper's Tongue

[VHRB2014]

The worst thing a new vaper can do is lock themselves into a ADV flavor and never get off it. I cant count the times iv seen this and it inevitably ends with VT. Get at least 4 flavors you like, the more different the better, and add unflavored too. When you get the sense the VT is starting, its time to change flavors. This can also happen to long term vapers. If I hit the same juice for days on end, I can only really get away with it for 6-7 days before it loses its brightness, its pop, some get plain yucky, and I HAVE to change it up.

Have you had your teeth checked lately?

Lol, yeah pretty on top of dental hygiene - dentist check up 2 months ago, brush and use mouthwash twice a day, all that stuff

I don't get get vaper's tongue much anymore but a tart lemon or a strong mint helps me. Some keep a menthol on hand for vt.

I wonder if this is related to the topic....but...i got one of my friends on the vape train, helped him to quit dipping. Hes been vaping now since mid june or so. Tonite, he says his coil tastes burnt and thought it needs changing. Its only been on for a couple days. I tried it, couldnt taste anything close to burnt. He claims its so harsh it burned his throat. The juice is smashmouth from humble juice, 6mg strength. The tank is a Baby beast with the t8 coil. Vaping it at 50 watts. When i tried it, i bumped it up to 60w and set the vape on soft. I could not taste anything burnt. Im thinking he is just vaping too much. He hardly ever puts it down. But he's blaming the juice. This juice is strawberry cupcake and icing flavor. Really good quality. He liked it at first but now it tastes "burnt" even though i know its not. Any ideas?

I was going to rate the above with a Disagree, but didn't, since I didn't disagree with everything.

As far as the first section I underlined above - I can think of several things that would be much worse for new vapers to do...than finding an ADV they love and sticking with it for as long as they want to. If they're enjoying vaping it, and it's keeping him/her from smoking or helping them reduce their smoking while increasing their vaping...what's so wrong with that? Newbies I've dealt with are very happy to find 1 they really like when they're first learning about vaping and getting used to it at the beginning.

I've helped 8 people switch to vaping so far, and all but 1 of them found an ADV that they used for many months to a year, before deciding to try to find additional ones they might like. None of them had VT to my knowledge, because I'm sure they'd have told me if they did. I though, was vaping many different eliquids for the first 2 years I vaped, and I had VT 2 times. Yet I haven't had it in the last 2 years when I've been vaping an ADV.

In your opinion, they need 4 different flavored ones and some unflavored from "the get-go"! But IMO it's not the worst thing they can do, nor a certainty that they'll get VT, if they use an ADV for as long as they want to.

In the second section I underlined, you told what happens to you that lets you know it's time to change your eliquids...and IMO that's very helpful info for a newbie. Lets them know that VT doesn't always just cause no taste, but can affect people's taste in other ways, too.

Besides staying very well hydrated, I took the logical path, well logical to me anyway. I borrowed from culinary art and developed what I call palate cleanser DIY's (PC's). I used different strokes in them for what they each seemed to "neutralize" the best for me. But they too turned out to be an individual thing same as personal taste in joose is when a couple I shared with others had mixed results for them. For some of those folks the cure was worse than the cause.

 

[Mike F]

Never had it.

I have been vaping for almost 9 years and am a chain vaper so here is my 2 pennies. I like variety cause I am always wanting to try new flavors that I buy or mix myself BUT I rarely like any of them and always return to my top favorite ADV. I have bought hundreds of bottles from various vendors and most have been PIF or dumped down the drain. I rarely get VT and then it is only after I switch flavors a lot. I guess I am saying there is no one hard and fast rule for why this happens or what the cure is. For me, I go to a cinnamon flavor for a short time and that clears up VT for me.

I also experience the burnt taste when no one else can detect it. I change coils and make sure to let them soak up the juice before vaping.

 

[Letitia]

Since using my diy juices exclusively vt is extremely rare event for me. For myself I believe that is due to the fact I seldom use sweetener and tend to only use sweetened flavors lightly. I also believe the longer you vape the less often you get vt. Not a clue why that happens.

 

[United States]

I had a Fuma cartridge burst on me a couple of times. It ran down beside my mouth when it happened. Each time that part of my felt like I'd had a novacaine shot there.

Now why a nic free user would get vape tongue I have no clue. But I do know vape tongue happens to me at times, whether it be from smoking or vaping so I just figure it's the nicotine numbing my taste buds.

 

[Letitia]

I honestly doubt nic has anything to do with vt. Flavor and sweetener overload makes more sense to me. Same thing happens with food and beverage in RL to everyone occasionally.

Ya JC, you do understand that I limited my response to the subject of VT, we both understand there is a lot more to vaping than just VT. I would assume you have never had VT, or not as bad as me, or my family members have? VT can be a real struggle, iv experianced it myself and watched others get very discouraged from it, so my advice was based on the new vaper who is experiancing it in real time. A percentage of vapers never experience this I understand, obviously this advice is not applicable to them. Do you find fault in everything, or do you just nit pick a lot?

JC is simply explicit/exact in answering posts, no need to get offended. All of us come across in print sometimes in a way that isn't intended. Whether I agree or not I listen to the voices of experience here on ecf.

I think he needs to learn how to share his opinion without attempting to disect and demean others.

But sall good.

I’ve never had it while vaping and I only vape menthol. It will be 3 yrs next month that I’ve been cigarette free. Now I’ve lost my taste buds after eating a whole bag of sour gummy worms.

Hard to eat just one isn't it? Congrats on the three years!

 

[leftyandsparky]

Those neon gummy worms get me every time, but man they are so good!

Thank you!
