Theres nothing more satisfying in a vapers day than meticulously setting up your rig, hitting the fire button on your mod, then inhaling that sweet sweet hey wait a second, WHERES THE FLAVOR? After cleaning your tank, and switching out countless cartos/coils, the flavor still isnt there. So you go all David after the dentist by balling up your fists and yelling towards the heavens Is this real life?!? Is this going to last forever?!?
Whats happening? Whats going on?The problem isnt with your rig you probably have vapers tongue (okay fine, if you want to be a stickler I know its really olfactory fatigue hold your horses well get to that later)!.
Before all the hypochondriacs hop into their cars and floor it to the E.R., you should know that vapers tongue isnt fatal, nor is it an eternal condition. It will eventually go away on its own after a few days or weeks (yup, I said weeks), but Ill explain the things you can do to help it go away more quickly and to help prevent it from happening to you again.Your tongue isnt really the problem.Most people refer to this as vapers tongue because it seems like youre tasting the juices with your tongue.
The truth of the matter is that its actually olfactory fatigue simply put, your smellers got issues that cant be solved with tissues. Sure, you taste a bit of the vapor with your tongue, but your sense of smell is the primary way you experience the flavor of your e juice.Your nose also does a lot for your sense of taste as well. You know how when you have a stuffy nose, and the food youre eating tastes muted? The same thing happens with vapers tongue, except your nose does a lot more work than your tongue when youre vaping, so its even worse.Why is this happening to me?Well, it could be a number of reasons.
Almost all new vapers, who recently made the switch from smoking cigarettes to vaping, will get vapers tongue. When you smoke cigarettes, your sense of taste and smell arent nearly as strong compared to non-smokers. After you quit smoking for a week or two, you might have discovered just how bad cigarettes really smell or noticed just how awesome the foods you normally eat actually taste. When you quit smoking, your brain isnt used to the huge upgrade to your senses, so it freaks out a bit and over compensates by turning them way down (or even off).Vapers tongue also happens if you dont switch juices often enough, so you develop a (temporary) tolerance to the flavor.
Its kind of like when youre in a really smelly room. At first, the smell hits you like a ton of bricks, but after a minute or so you dont even notice it. The same thing happens if you chain-vape the same flavor over and over without switching it up.How do I fix this, and how can I keep it from happening again?!?
1. Take that.tampon.out of your mouth. The internet is a mean place filled with trolls. There are countless threads where the victims of vapers tongue are told to put tampons in their mouths because itll help cleanse your pallet (it wont). This is a lie, do not listen to the nasty people .
2. Drink more water..When you vape, most of what you exhale is your own moisture. Sure, there are elements of the components of your e juice in the clouds youre exhaling, but most of it is water from your body. vaping probably wont cause deathly levels of dehydration, but theres no doubt that vaping locally dehydrates your mouth, throat, sinuses, and lungs. If your mouth and sinuses are dry, they wont be able to taste/smell the vapor from your e cig very well. Plus,.most people are chronically dehydrated.anyway. Water is good for you, so drink it up, and kill two birds with one stone!
3. Use good oral hygene..This should go without saying, but its true. Beyond brushing your teeth, gargling with a minty mouthwash and chewing on minty gum will help cleanse your pallet, and keep your mouth nice and moist (or if you hate that word, damp) throughout the day.
4. Switch it up, and expand your e juice rotation..Remember how we talked about not having enough e juice variety in your life can cause vapers tongue? Make sure that you have a selection of different juices to vape through out the day. Its best if you have different flavor types in your rotation, like: sweet flavors, sour flavors, and fruity flavors, etc. If you have a variety of different flavors, you wont develop a tolerance to them as easily.
5. Vape on some menthol e juice..Vapers tongue might be strong, but menthol is even stronger! Even if you didnt like menthol cigarettes, you might actually like some of the menthol flavored e juices out there. Personally, I hated menthol cigs, but I LOVE Vape Dojos.Black Menthol.e juice (black is for blackberry) I cant get enough of it. Even with vapers tongue, youll be able to taste the menthol and get some enjoyment from vaping. Itll also wake-up your senses and reduce the duration, and symptoms, of vapers tongue.
6. Huff some coffee grounds..You dont have to make lines of coffee grounds with a credit card on a mirror, and snort them with a rolled-up dollar bill simply smelling them should suffice. Its a fact,.coffee helps cleanse the olfactory pallet,.thats why some.perfumers keep ground coffee on-hand.when smelling different scents in succession.
7. Chew/drink something ginger flavored, or something sour,.like a lemon or vinegar. While I havent personally had any success taking shots of vinegar or by drinking lemon water, there are a lot of people who have claimed that this is works best for them so who am I to argue?But most of all
Do NOT go back to smoking cigarettes..I know that its probably tempting, but if you follow the steps outlined above, youll get through this bout of vapers tongue in no time, and help prevent it from happening again in the future. Youve come so far. Why go back to those dead-beat cancer-sticks thatll only do more harm than good in the long run? Vapers tongue will eventually go away, so just be patient. Youll be able to taste that sweet sweet flavor soon just give it some time.
