Vaper's Tongue with Drippers

[dmurko]

Hi All,

I switched to a IGO-L dripper with cotton setup a few weeks ago. And while it's great for vapor and flavor, I have serious issues with vaper's tongue. First I vaped only 1-2 flavors and slowly the flavor disappeared for both after a few days. Then I moved to switching flavors daily (2 flavors one day, 2 flavors the next). It was OK for a week or so, now I only get flavor with the first few vapes no matter which of the 4 I try (I'm switching between Ovale, Hangsen and Liqua).

I drink lots of water, vaping a strong mint in between didn't help.

Any others having similar issues and have any tips?

Swish with Listerine. Or sniff coffee grounds.

Sniffing coffee grounds, that's different heh.

Yeah, unfortunately I'm suffering from Vapor's Tongue myself. I swished pure lemon juice (SOUR AS H$LL!), ate some pickles, rinsed with mouthwash, drinking a lot of water... sniffed fresh ground coffee beans, brushed my tongue, and switched flavors... I'm trying to back off on the vaping, but still need my nic fix! I've also read about eating some hot peppers but I can't do HOT!!!

I'm trying to "reset" my pallet but I just think patience is the key. Any other suggestions would be GREAT!

What kind of PG/VG ratio are these?

I find that the higher PG liquids stick around longer and I'll get vaper's tongue (my teeth get all grimy too) if I overdo it. Especially any kind of high PG menthol/minty variety.

Perhaps try eating some sherbert in between flavors to cleanse your pallet much like you do with food (similar to what diamondlvr suggested)?

I take a few swigs of water, then few swigs of orange juice. Then i"m gtg.

Ovale has more PG because they stuck a lot longer in the beginning, now it's pretty much the same.

It'll be a bit cumbersome if I'll have to drag food with me whenever I go somewhere to vape.

Does this go away with time (permanently) or is it something I'm stuck with indefinitely?

I'm using 50/50 blends, 6 to 10 mg nicotine with tanks and drippers. I'll try the OJ too...

When you buy perfume, the department stores have coffee grounds
available. Sniffing it will clear your palette so one smell doesn't
interfere with how you interpret the next smell.

I did not know that, neat. Obviuously I don't sniff perfumes hehe.

It's also been proven that sniffing fresh ground coffee will reset your olfactory senses including taste. Very interesting stuff. I was reading all evening last night about this. I just hope my taste returns soon!
