the dreaded vapers tongue

[Lmoney23]

know this is a common issue but since I can't post yet in the normal threads, thought I would start a new one on here. So I got vapers tongue after about 10 days of vaping. I am now going on a little over 3 months of vaping. I was doing flavors like blueberry, peach, custard, nothing crazy.after having the vapors tongue for about a week, I started reading online about different things to try. I drink about 5 to 8 glasses of water a day, have tried brushing my teeth as well as lightly brushing my tongue multiple times a day, using mouthwash, eating mints or chewing gum, put lime juice on my tongue and left it there for about 5 minutes then repeating the process, doing the same with hot sauce, pickle juice, olive juice, drank orange juice,smelled coffee, used saline solution which I do not have a problem smelling the juice anyway, and now I am trying something called tongue tonic which I have used for about a day off and on with no results. I did switch to red hot about a month and a half ago and I can always taste it good, of course I do get extra flavor in it but even without the extra flavor I can still taste it a little all the time. some liquids are more PG based and some are more VG based, does not matter.

so my question is this. Are there any other off the wall things I can try? I have tried everything I have reAd about and vape shops have suggested with no luck. Anyone else got anything to try? I can also taste spearmint and menthol but do not want to keep vaping those things. Let me hear some other good suggestions! Thanks

I should also add that I tried to go back to blueberry last night with the tongue tonic. Had not really tried any other flavors besides red hot in close to a month. Am still trying the blueberry now which has been about 24 hours of no red hot and still no taste.

Wow, you certainly tried a lot of remedies! My wife and I have vapors tongue also and it is very depressing to hear that non of the solutions have worked. Thank you for posting what you have tried. We are currently just brushing our toungues but that has a minimal effect. We are still searching for an answer...

Smelling coffee (ground, still in the can) and lemon water with real lemon juice worked for me. I tried to clean my tongue by scraping it but every time I tried almost blew lunch from the gag reflex. From what I remember vapers tongue passes with time -- just have to be patient. Good luck.......

I use max VG and rarely get vapor's tongue unless I'm chain vaping and don't drink anything for a while.

OK since I'm a newbie I'll ask

What the heck is Vapers Tongue and how do you get it?

to ecf Lmoney23. Nice to meet you and glad to have you here. Just a great place to spend some time. So sorry to hear you are having this problem. I have read many posts about it. Here is a site that might help you understand it and offer some things that you can try. Hope it helps. Have you tried switching between several flavors during the day to see if that helps any? Just wondering. I have read where that has helped some.

I tried using my Neti pot and got very good results. It cleans out any "yuck" hanging out in your upper respiratory system. Google and give it a shot!

Looney 23, if you don't mind me asking how many ML's of juice where you using a day when you noticed vapors Tounge?

 

[Debadoo]

the thing that worked for me was vaping Ice Ice from Vapedudes for a couple days. It is super pepperminty, not spearmint or menthol.

Probably about 3 to 4.

I will check out the link. Yes after having vapers tongue for a couple of weeks, I did go 2 more flavors per day. I was switching between three and four only taking a few puffs of each one before switching. When I first started vaping I was using two flavors. Blueberry and a vanilla custard. I really have tried lots of different things

 

[Lmoney23]

my wife also has the same problem by the way. I started vaping about a week before she did and we have both had the problem the same amount of time. I do not always use the same tanks. I have had the evod, TD 3, and also have A Geni tank with adjustable air flow. I use the Evod battery and also have and I taste Svd.

Peppermint. I have found some flavors that I use specifically for that.

 

[Lmoney23]

2 people recommend peppermint. My vape shop down the road has it. I'll give it a try

I have been very frustrated with the vape tongue. I had quit for 14 months and started vaping during that time. The vape tongue struck, and I slipped back into smoking. Quit again 6 weeks ago and have ran into the same issue. I have gone from 50/50 to 20 vg 80 pg no change. Upped the nic to 24 and 80 PG 20 VG, no change, which I figured was not going to change. Trying to stay hydrated, assume that may be root cause. Tried the smelling of coffee, small effect. Trying the gum, same thing. I try and vape 4 flavors at same time. So now I have gone more high tech and ordered a Kanger subtank mini with MVP 3. Hope this may help some at least. Want the enjoyment out of vaping that I did smoking, as do not want to slip back again. Guess will try some of the things the OP posted and go from there.

I sometimes get this, but it clears up within a day or two for me so far. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I usually go to my menthol, exhaling nasally instead of just blowing it out. If that fails, I use unflavored until it passes. Get the throat hit and nicotine but don't have to worry about wasting good, expensive, flavorful juice.
