"Vapors Tongue"?

[Stephuhnator]

I was the same way for a while.I only could really enjoy menthol for a while. There are still some flavors that don't hit me fully yet.



Hey Panda meat is still MEAT!

To the OP. It might just be a matter of playing with flavors to hit your stride or even your nic level.

A good example is me and my lady love Lady Pancake She vapes 36 mil and I vape 12. I can't handle her stuff and even vaping for months like me she can't really taste my juice at 12 mil.

There are several factors to consider before you consider vaping to be a hazard to your health. You are lie the wise Robin said trying to get flavor from something that's carried by air, not food. Keep at it and I am sure you will work something out of find a way through your flavor dilemma.

I hope this helps and you continue to stay off ....-logs.

Remind me not to vape your Panda juice from China darling Lord Pancake , thanks in advance

Hang in there OP, I still have days when my vape doesn't taste like much of anything. I don't care though, as long as I'm off the ....-logs I'm a happy camper. Might have something to do with the fact that I vape 36mg nic ?!?! YMMV!

Do you know how many China men had to die to get that panda juice? It's very dangerous to juice a panda. Their sacrifice should be celebrated by vaping that horrible plastic tasting stuff and I should not have to endure it alone!

I have to chuckle when I see both Whos and Steph post in the same thread. Reminds me of Mr. Robin and I back in the days of AOL. We would be in the same physical room while in an an AOL chat room chatting with friends and each other.

AngiBe, take a deep breath, relax, think.......
"Why am I vaping?"..... To get off cigarettes
"Does it bug me if I can't taste my vape?"........Maybe a bit.
"Am I still getting my nicotine fix?"........yes

My point is that we've been spoilt by all the different flavours. We expect to "taste" our vape. How about changing your viewpoint on vaping? Think of it as an alternative form of nicotine replacement, much like chewing nic gum. You don't expect much taste from chewing nic gum right?

As a consolation to you, yeah, I'm also "suffering" from vapours tongue. So I look at it as an opportunity to clear my worst tasting juice. Arabic tobacco anyone? Cheer up! Try to look on the bright side.

Thanks for the all the advise everyone~you guys are awesome people! And I think some of you remember all too well what it's like coming off of analogs! That's where my anger comes from w/trying so hard to get vaping to work and I keep getting road blocks and it drives me nuts!!

I still have vapor's tongue, I do a test vape once in morning, once at night just to see if its back. I did buy yesterday a tongue scrapper w/this mouthwash spray stuff so I'm going to try that and I've cut way back on the nic gum. Only have like one or two a day which right now, is my only source of nic so I'm about to chew off my left arm, but hey...all for the hope to vape w/taste again! I could still vape, but honestly, I don't like it when I can't taste it. It just doesn't do it for me.

And to add insult to injury, before this taste issue came up, I had ordered 5 new flavors to try and was GEEKED about them..they showed up a few days ago. UGH. At least all these flavors get a nice, long steep be4 I try them.

It will get better. Most of us vaped through it. I really would suggest Biotene (spelling? I'm too lazy right now to look at the bottle). It is a great product.

Ur right, worth a shot. Picking up some 2day. Thx!

I went to the store the other day for a can of cat hair and bug parts and every single one had tuna in it!

That's why I shave my cats and crush my bugs myself. I know exactly what's in my food, no tuna for this guy!

Wow. Being only one month into the vaping thing here, This thread has brought this "vapers tongue" issue to light for me. I suppose that it happens, to some extent, to all who quit smoking. I will be ready for it. NOTHING will make me light up again. I've made it a full month, which in itself is a miracle. After smoking a pack a day for 25 years, this defines miracle. -Hang in there!

Whatcha brush with 2-3x a day? I use Listerine Original for mouthwash (I know ... yuck ) and that screws up my taste for about a half an hour. I even noticed it when I smoked analogs. Most recommend drinking lots of water, but I drink lots of strong unsweetened Luisianne Iced Tea. Nice and astringent but not bitter, it clears my palate.

I think I'm the only person on the planet who HATES tea..cold, hot, flavored, unflavored..literally makes me gag! LOLOL. I seriously drink H2O all day, except for my morning caffeine kick of 3-4 cups of coffee. I bought some Biotene (sp?) gel this morning so hoping this & time does the trick. I brush w/crest scope mint gel w/baking soda in it and my mouth wash in the morning is Listerine mint no alcohol, night same but w/alcohol. I just tried vaping again for my night time check...no luck still with tasting.

This is truly testing my patience. On the upside, my nic cravings started to get more manageable today, but I didn't have a lot of stressful issues except the fact that college football has started and every TV in the house was tuned into every game playing...serenity now...

There are unknowns with vaping and it can be a little unnerving. But the bad would have to be pretty extreme to outweigh the hole super high mortality rate lung cancer known effect if smoking.

I feel you pain. Started vaping a week ago and got vapers tongue 2 days ago. Arrrghhhh. Only bright side is I still haven't picked up an analog. And was able to grab some menthol juice today that I can taste to hold me till it goes away.

I honestly think that there are other things in tobacco smoke that are also addictive- not just nicotine. In my humble opinion, our minds need to forget about these "unknowns" and this takes time. I am grateful that the transition was pretty painless for me but for about two weeks, it seemed that my mind was craving something else that must be present in tobacco smoke. This feeling seems to have passed. Whatever you do, don't light up again. EVER!

 

[AngiBe]

Still have damn vapor's tongue but will NOT and have NOT smoked cigarettes again. Its been since July 26th for me. I agree that there's a lot of crap in analogs that cause huge addictions and I'm hoping vaping takes over! I'd love for BT to go bankrupt and I'd be the first to stand in front of Philip Morris' corporate (Marlboro lights was my crutch) and raise my middle finger in the air at them and tell them to stick it where the sun doesn't shine!!!!

In the mean time, I will wait in anticipation to be able to taste flavors again. I'm dying to try my new flavors that have been steeping in what seems to be eternity! Plz do not tell me right now that Halo's Voodoo is the bomb because that's one flavor I've been waiting to try for over a week!!

sorry could not make it thru the whole thread but here is my take on muted flavors.

1. A coil after a few days use will begin to mute the flavor even though it still performs well.
2. Too much sugar or salt in you diet can cause you to lose you sense of taste.
3. Taking a bite from a lemon can restore your pallet. The pallet is the roof of your mouth not your tongue.
4. Brush the roof of your mouth.
5. Taste buds should be round but smoking can cause poor blood circulation. Poor circulation will cause the taste buds to flatten out. It could very well take a few months for your circulation to improve. I know it did me. I walk a lot at work and could tell I was still improving several months after quitting just by how my feet felt.
6. 75% of the population have a normal number of taste buds while 25% have more. The people with more taste buds have the ability to discern multiple flavors for things like tasting wine and such. You are probably in the normal range. There is a test you can take using some blue food coloring but you will need to google it to do the test. I don't remember exactly how it works.

I hope some of this helps and good luck

Maybe you need to try it? Maybe what you've been trying to find flavor with is not going to cut it for you. You may also be over inundating your taste buds with other things. Strong toothpaste and mouth wash. Try just plain baking soda and peroxide paste, no flavor. Back to square 1 as they say.

I know you're anxious to give those a taste, bit hold onto the thought that the longer it steeps the better it tastes!!

Yepper, I don't need an excuse to drink lots of Iced Tea, and I like my tea just like my coffee... Strong and black! No sweetener of any kind, or milk, or lemon, or anything else that gets in the way of the flavor of my Tea or Coffee.

I don't cotton to those fancy teas either... Luisianne, or Lipton is all I need...

Now my coffee on the other hand.... That's a different story, I'm totally spoiled for my Guatemalan Forestall Blend...
Grown high up in the mountains of Guatemala under the forest canopy in the shade!

Smooth, Rich, Dark, and never oily or bitter...

I buy it from Fair Trade Coffee, Organic Coffee: Grounds for Change in 5lb bags, and they don't roast it till I order it Once roasted, it's shipped to me in whole bean and I grind it myself with a Kitchen-aid Burr Grinder. I take my coffee seriously!

I've followed every post in this thread from the beginning, and the 1 thing that MAY be helpful and that no one (that I've seen) has mentioned is the fact that while taste buds are important 50 - 75% of taste is SMELL!!

Try deep lungfulls of your vape, and slowly exhale through your nose...

Any aftertaste from the juice should be noticeable no matter how dysfunctional your taste buds are...

If that works try the old fashioned french inhale and see how that does...

Just some random ideas that bubbled up from the depths of my addled mind...
