Vapors Tongue

[Troy421]

Drink a fruit smoothie or something tart to get the taste buds rolling again.

Ok, I don't know about all these other methods, but obviously they work for people..

Here is my take lol

Have you ever eaten sushi? Ever notice how it comes with slices of Ginger? They serve it with ginger to cleanse your palate between different types of sushi so you get the full flavor.

PICKLED GINGER! Cleanses the Palate, brings full flavor out for everything.

You have to imagine, vaping for so long would be like eating ketchup every day for months. You're tastebuds are just like.. eh whatever, same stuff different day.

Pop in some ginger, let it saturate your tounge (it is a VERY potent taste lol) Wakes em all up and leaves you with a very clean aftertaste.

Can anyone suggest a really good citrus flavor juice for palette cleansing . I drink tea all day long (and i mean ALL day long) so I know it is not a dehydration issue.

Thanks to everyone for the good suggestions.I too am experiancing this.I have doubled my coffee intake since I quit smoking so I will definatly tone that back and I am guilty of not drinking enough water for sure. Might even look for pickled ginger today and I dont mean a redhead in a bar(unless she is really hot) LOL

My buds are back today. Drinking lots of water.

Also, I just popped a weak vanilla in front of a fan heater for about 10-15 minutes and the flavour now is immense.

I, too, have been suffering from this all week. I also had a cold and think there is still something with my sinuses, but my taste comes and goes. I even posted for suggestions the other day. This is an excellent thread with lots of great ideas. I drink tons of water, I was concerned about too much, diluting my fluids. I found some "sport drink" flavoring in the juice section of the grocery store, with electrolytes and vitamins. I can't carry a case of gatorade with me, but I can carry my little bottle and "spike" my water from time to time. I also add lemon or crystal lite type lemonade to water to give it some flavor and it does seem to help cut the yeck.

I am also using this time for vaping some of the "meh" juices I have and saving the yummies for when my taste comes back. I do change flavors several times a day and when I first switch I can taste a little, when I loose the flavor I switch again.

Some great suggestions here and several I am going to try! Thanks all!

For some reason, my taste buds are dead for at least an hour or so when I get up in the morning. I vape anyway...gotta get that morning hit of nic going...and by lunchtime I'm tasting things normally again.

When hydrating Why no caffeine even if the drink is mostly water based?

 

[clnire]

I just switch to a nice, light and fruity flavor. At the same time drinking ~4 liters of coconut water (vita coco) a day. It hydrates you much better than any drinks i have tried to date, so its just good overall anyway.

Where do you get the coconut water? regular grocery store? what department (juice?). or do you get it at a "health food" store???? inquiring minds would like to know so I can get some..

TIA!

I find it in the natural food section of most regular grocery stores- look near the soymilk or "fancy" water in some places as well.

 

[Cptfunpants]

You can get coconut water in the organic prepackaged fruit stuff aisle. By the dried fruits.

Thank you Pat!!

1Lastshot, thank you too!! Read Pat's post first...

 

[skyztheLynnit]

Sorry to ressurect an old thread but how long will this last? I drink lots of fluid and did the baking soda thing and nada.. i guess it's better than the 'quit zits' lol

 

[rnln]

the bad thing is that when I vape, a lot, I don't feel like drinking water, except beer, cook, for something else

Skyz,last time for me lasted about 10 days. Turns out I also had allergies acting up so sinuses were not right either. My taste DID come back. I find first thing in the AM I don't have much taste; drink some water (along with a cup of coffee) and my taste comes back. Probably from head stopping up overnight; takes about an hour for things to clear on their own. Don't be discouraged...
