Vapors tongue?

[redordead]

Hello to all,

been lurking for awhile. Have been roughly vaping now for 8 months.

Recently just changed my liquid. I was using t-juice uk smokes, then tried dr Stanley's snake oil. Loved it, vaped it, and had a great experience using it for the first 3 days, then I started to lose flavour. I was using an itaste vv 3.0 and nautilus. Found out my nautilus was a copy so I changed it for the aerotank, love it but the same outcome. Little taste. Especially the aniseed flavour that I was getting on exhale.

i have since bought another bottle, with the same outcome. I have been using halo subzero and am getting some sort of taste, however it is a very strong liquid. I am very hydrated (don't drink), have good oral hygiene. This is the 8th day now!!!

any suggestions?

Try changing you liquid up form a short period, you maybe become too accustom to the flavor. And have you cleaned your tank and coils lately?

 

[redordead]

Yeah. Have changed tanks, coils. I am getting part of the fruitiness that comes with snake oil, just no aniseed. Hope that's not the case as I was hoping to make this my ADV. haven't come across many liquids that I like/love so far!!

 

[redordead]

And I doubt it's that it needs steeping as due to my location I'd imagine the bottle has been sitting for at least a month!

You taste buds regenerate every 10-14 days and have to become innervated before they actually work. Your taste will come back just give it some time.

This may sound off, but there are two things I do when I start getting vapers tongue.

1. Eat a couple hand fulls of citrus and spicy things throughout the day.

If that doesn't work.

2. Vape straight VG and Nic base for a day or two.

I've found that if I vape the same stuff for more than two days I start to loose flavor. Just change it out ore often, clean you atty's and if it's vape tongue it shall pass.

I like changing flavors a lot.
When my taste buds get overloaded I usually have a cup of coffee (some say smelling coffee grounds is enough to help). I brush out my mouth - teeth, gums, Cheeks, tongue, roof. Some times a rinse with with listorine can help too.
I'm going through that after sampling a ton of flavors at a vape shop yesterday
This seems to help a but, but it's not back 100%. I think that just takes time!

A nice menthol vape like MBV thug juice, or anything with a strong menthol/mint taste, strong mouthwash like Listerine works too. Another method which i think has been mentioned is eat something spicy and rich in flavour, like a curry. All of these method always sort out VT for me, god I hate VT!

I've learnt having at least 2-3 flavours on rotation stops it from happening

I use ginger ale to clean up my taste buds, a little sip, swish it in your mouth, hold it for a second or two, then swallow it. It might take you a few sips, but it does a nice job at activating your buds and cleaning your mouth. I think you actually get a little coating from the PG/VG or something to that effect.

I've been vaping a watermelon/menthol flavor for the past couple weeks, and I've experienced a similar problem. It stinks because it's my favorite all day vape, but I've found that if I vape something with a completely different flavor (in this case Castle Long Reserve), I'll be able to jump back and taste everything again.

Thanks for the advice! [emoji6]

In my experience, I've noticed that strong peppermint flavours help 'reset' my taste buds.

I like this idea.

Altoids are good here... Curiously strong!

I keep some unflavored with me and a dripper. When my flavors in my others start weakening due to taste buds going out, I start on the unflavored for a while and that seems to help rejuvenate the buds and the other flavors come back.

I had a case of vapors tongue a few weeks into Vaping. I started tried vaping different flavors but that din't help, it was depressing. In an attempt to reset my olfactory senses i ate some Wasabe. It was insane, but it worked.

A few weeks later I tried vaping the flavor that I was vaping the first time and the vapors tongue happened again, reused wasabe. And gave away the ejuice to a friend (it was his ADV).

Wasabe works well for me, not for the faint of heart though.

Could it be dry hits? My aerotanks are doing quite a lot of popping. Was thinking it could be because snake oil is 50/50?

 

[Lanore]

For me, aside from brushing my teeth an acidic drink works well. Coffee, soda, lemonade, you're choice really. Spicy foods too.

However I smoke a lot of ice flavors and coffee makes them taste terrible for a short time after.

As for dry hits, popping doesn't sound like that. Usually popping happens for me when the tank is slightly flooding and the popping sound is basically eliquid boiling around the coil. I could be wrong though.
