I wouldn't be so bothered by the vapers tongue deal if it didn't also feel like I was setting my tongue on fire. If I vape at all the burning sensation returns and I have tried lowering the voltage to produce a cooler vapor and other ideas I could think of. Taking short vapes at a time etc. Still same result in a few moments my tongue is burning again.
I have been drinking enough water to drown a fish. I have had no less than a gallon of water a day since I have started vaping and really I can't keep up. I have to use the bathroom so often people are probably starting to wonder lol.
When I started vaping I didn't have any trouble with my sense of taste other than some bitterness in the juice I was using. Switched to some 50/50 juices and the bitterness almost went completely away. I figured that should be good enough and I would get use to it in time. Now fast forward and I have almost completely lost the sense of taste and switching juices was only slightly better and the difference was terrible cause I must have fried some of the receptors for a particular range of taste making the other flavor taste like crap.
Also I have heard Vanilla flavors (that's the flavor I lost my taste on) have the reputation of wrecking taste buds? I dunno know if that is true but I need to try something else soon. I placed an order today but I have no idea how fast my juices from AVE Juice will arrive. I ordered up three that were each very different to hopefully find some way to stave this off in the future.
If your tongue is burning might you have an allergy to PG?
Also I don't think vanilla kills taste buds like a Cinnamon would, but I do think the vanilla flavors are very subtle and therefore subject to fatigue and/or dehydration.
