What Is Vapers Tongue?
Vapers tongue, as it is commonly called in the world of vaping, is a condition in which the taste buds on the tongue no longer detect the flavour of e-liquid vapour to the same extent they normally would. When the senses are dulled in this fashion, it causes some vapers to find that their e-juice just doesn't taste quite as potent as it used to. The 'cures' above are intended to resolve this pesky condition, which is known formally as olfactory fatigue.
Vapers Tongue Cause & Prevention
The cause of vapers tongue is believed to be repetitive exposure to the same e-liquid flavour or flavours. The constant exposure can cause you to become somewhat numb to a particular flavour, making it seem like it doesn't taste as good or as strong as it used to. By switching up flavours regularly or creating an e-liquid rotation of three or more flavours, vapers can help avoid the dreaded vapers fatigue.
