If you are a vaper, chances are high that you have already experienced vapers’ tongue. This is a strange but usual condition during vaping. It is also referred to as vapers’ fatigue. In vaping, such a state is as common as catching a cold. But the question is, what does it feel like? And why does it happens? Today’s blog post will answer these questions rationally. It will answer these two common queries and some other vapers’ tongue facts. The entire blog will also include 5 easy ways to overcome this issue. Let us begin by briefly describing what a vaper tongue is.
What is a vapers’ tongue?
Vapers’ tongue is experienced by vapers when they can no longer feel the e-juice flavour. Following are other symptoms of this uncanny condition:
- The change in original taste can be felt.
- The numb tongue is a common problem during vapers’ language.
- Total loss of taste.
- Due to long exposure to a certain flavour type, the taste buds get dull.
- Now let us find out why it happens.
Why does a person go through this condition?
There can be several causes of vapers’ fatigue. Like symptoms, these conditions can prevail in both regular and disposable vape devices:
- When tired of the same flavour stimuli, the nervous system tends to mix signals.
- Continuous puff on the same flavour for a long time.
- Too much vaping without a break.
- Improper oral hygiene.
- Certain medications and dehydration can also cause this condition.
- Smoking plus vaping.
What are the 5 easy ways to overcome vapers’ tongue?
As a beginner to vaping, it is normal to feel uncomfortable and confused due to tastelessness. Worrying is normal when your taste buds are not responding for over a week or two. But only taking the stress will not cure anything. Besides cleaning your disposable vape device, follow the tips below to resurrect your taste buds.
Switch to other flavours.
You can understand this suggestion by an example. Suppose you are vaping a lot of sweet e-liquid flavours, which has caused vapers’ tongues. Then it is high time to shift to something contrary to sweet. Choose flavours like lemon, coffee, icy, or other sour fruits. One other tip is to combine different types of tastes. This will help you avoid the vapers’ fatigue in the future. There are instances of mixing 3 flavours per day by some vapers. And most importantly, do not forget to quit the e-juice that caused flavour fatigue in the first place. Avoid the complex flavour until your taste buds return to normalcy.
Try using palette cleansers.
What are palette cleansers? They are foods with a neutral flavour. The main work of such food is to eliminate any leftover residue from the tongue. And no, we are not discussing any processed food we can here. It would help if you did not rush to the grocery store to get palette cleansers. Such food items are very common in our homes. Things that you can add as a palette cleanser to your meal are bananas, pickles, bread, apples, unsalted crackers, grapefruit, and pickled ginger.
Treat the dry mouth properly.
Vaping comes with a drawback. It’s only experienced by vapers who don’t take care of their daily water intake. Drinking enough water is necessary. Follow the advice to treat dry mouth.
- Drink more water. This is an obvious and most important solution to cure the problem.
- Reduce the daily dose of vaping. Give your mouth, lungs, and tongue some rest from the hazardous chemicals.
- Start eating healthy and include more vegetables and fruits in your diet.
- Chew sugar-free gum and use dry mouth spray for more quick treatment.
Give attention to your oral hygiene:
If nothing of the above treatment is effective for you, then the problem may be in your poor oral hygiene. It can be offensive to some, but the truth is harsh. Improved oral hygiene will cure your vapers’ fatigue as soon as possible. Brushing your teeth, flossing them, and cleaning your tongue is no big task to regain your taste buds.
