Cleansing The Palate: How To Fix Vaper’s Tongue
Posted by Kayleigh Kivell on
What Is Vaper’s Tongue
- vaper’s tongue is the sudden, temporary loss of your ability to taste your e-liquid flavour while everything else tastes normal
- vaper’s tongue typically lasts for a couple of hours to days
How Does Vaper’s Tongue Happen?
- vaper’s tongue is primarily caused by your nose getting used to a specific smell, dehydration or a dry mouth
How To Avoid Vaper’s Tongue
Stay Hydrated
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day to avoid dehydration as vaping can dehydrate the body
Switch The Flavours
- rotate between different flavours of e-liquid as this prevents your nose and brain from getting desensitized to a single flavour profile
- trying a menthol or “iced” flavour may help as menthol doesn’t need smell or taste to be perceived; menthol liquid can help reset your tastebuds and give your tongue a different flavour sensation
Cleanse The Palate
- try sniffing fresh coffee beans, drinking a glass of lemon water or chewing on gum to “reset” the senses
Take A Break
- try taking a break from vaping for a few hours to give your taste receptors a chance to recover
