What am I supposed to do to get juices to taste good again?

[jonhall2]

jonhall2, I've lost 2 good friends in the last year that dipped Skoal. Both in their mid to late 50's.

my friend was 49 when he discovered what he had. he made it to 50. i witnessed his last breath and the whole experience affected me greatly. i saw his widow today and changed a tire for her. i no longer live two doors down but i'm still in town. still glad to help and miss my partner.

I don't know if this would help or not, but I saw it while I was checking out Moon Mountain Vapor. It's an herb candy that's supposed to increase saliva production and help relieve dry mouth. I can't vouch for it since I've never used it, but it might be worth a try.

Well I have some Tabasco which is pretty hot, guess I could try putting that on a few things. But the problem seems to be about dryness and as far as I know, dryness in the mouth can diminish flavour.

Rodeorat, hmm, I don't know if I am overpowering the coils. The most my batteries put out is about 9 watts or about 3.9V. The problem definitely seems to lie within my mouth. But this problem pretty much started when I began using a dripper (and a more powerful mod than an evod battery). I'm not sure if the stronger hit to my throat from direct dripping has affected membranes or something but this funny taste/feeling in my mouth is pretty much coming from the throat hit spot. I vape 6mg now but when I started using the dripper I was on 18mg and it was too much for me, whereas on the evod, 18mg is not too strong. Maybe I should go back to the evod or even the KFL for a while and not drip, do you think that could be something worth doing?



Nice. Do you ever consider trying flavours again at some point?

I dripped a lot before and kinda burnt my buds out, so back to tanks now.

Unflavored works, and sometimes just using less flavoring % is better anyway IMO.

You could also try some tobacco flavors as well just to, "change it up", a bit.

Thanks for the replies guys, and I've responded below. Just wanted to mention something else first. I've been chewing gum for a few weeks, wrigleys sugar free strawberry flavour. I noticed tonight that once the flavour had completely gone, the dry feeling and dry taste in my mouth was amplified as I continued chewing the gum. Reading the ingredients, it lists 'humectant glycerine (non animal)'. I'm assuming chewing gum, while not the total cause of my problem, is drying my mouth out more, yet it's meant to stimulate saliva. It also has sorbitol which is another humectant apparently. So I'm going to quit chewing gum and see if there's improvement.

I have experienced what you are going through a couple of months ago. Nothing i vaped tasted good and my mouth was always dry. What i did was gargle with warm salt water along with brushing my teeth more often. Within a week of brushing my teeth 3-4 times a day and gargling with saltwater. It all came back and I could taste my vape. I did which to a whiting tooth paste, dont know if that helped my taste but it got rid of the stains analogs left behind

That's a good idea. I've gargled with salt water before and I think it helped, so I must do it more regularly. I'll try brushing my teeth more often during the day too.

danny, i am not sure of how to help other than try changing flavors entirely. i had 40 vendor liquids with their own clearomizer and got bored with them all. now i diy and that made all the difference for me. i lean on the high pg side to carry flavor better, in your case, i think no more than 50/50 to 30/70 mix may apply. please let a doctor take a look at that tongue. i lost my business partner/neighbor and good friend to mouth cancer 15mos. ago. he dipped skoal to quit smoking. when he finally had to see a doctor, they caught it too late to help him.

Hi jonhall. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, that is truly awful.
I went for a tongue biopsy in January and went for the result in April. It turned out to be nothing sinister and completely benign. They put it down as chronic inflammation of the tongue/geographic tongue. It looks like geographic tongue. But recently I've noticed that vaping on VG heavy juices and drinking more water started to clear the tongue up and resurface it. Going back to PG makes it sore and the surface starts disappearing again. So it's definitely vaping doing it. I had it when I was smoking, but it was only a tiny patch. So it might be more to do with heat or even nicotine. Vaping seems to exasperate it. Oddly though, the right side surface of my tongue remains unaffected.

How many ml per day have you been vaping.

To be honest, not that much. Probably less than a ml a day most days. Nevertheless, I'm still taking in more nicotine than when I smoked. I think what I need to do is limit my vaping. With cigarettes, I only had up to 8 day, sometimes less, just needed the nic fix. With vaping, I'm inhaling vapour and nic for the sake of it because it's enjoyable, beyond the need for a nic fix.

I don't know if this would help or not, but I saw it while I was checking out Moon Mountain Vapor. It's an herb candy that's supposed to increase saliva production and help relieve dry mouth. I can't vouch for it since I've never used it, but it might be worth a try.

Thanks. Being in the UK, it would be expensive to get hold of and tbh, it's probably not gonna work for me. Did some biotene gel today, made no difference. Be interesting to know what roots and herbs in consists of though.

Yeah, I have some tobacco flavours I bought when I started vaping, I can try them again in a tank.

This happens periodically - I typically vape menthol or unflavored when this happens... it sort of reboots your taste buds...

ive had many problems with this during my switch
i started by brushing my teeth every time i started loosing flavor(sometimes twice an hour)
then i tryed oil pulling(horrid)
recently tryed swishing hydrogen peroxide, and im fine! i do it maybe once or twice a day or only every other day
i swish till its noticeably less bubbling. also my teeth are starting to whiten, which is not necessarily good because some of my front fillers are not
i can not stand mouth wash, which i why i looked up an alternative when people kept recommending it
hope it helps you too

Tea or Coffee with MILK mutes my tongue and I have to go lightly brush it off my tongue, I was in a rush and brushed too hard and my tongue started bleeding which also gave me muted taste buds
