Your taste buds go through radical changes for as long a year after the stinkies. Its not your mind, LOL. Its your mouth!
It can be enough to drive you crazy seeking a solution, but the best that can be done is drink lots of water, and enjoy the experience as best you can. I personally have always experienced an explosion of extra flavor/s once it subsides, so there is a big pay off by riding it out!
However, personally, after 6 months I`m no longer getting vape tongue, :?) Have`nt had it in about 2 months. So I`m suspecting that there is a cross over point between 6 month to a year where it no longer bothers the vaper. :?) :?) (Double big nose smiles)
