Vaper’s tongue is a term used to describe a loss in ability to detect flavor when vaping. This phenomenon, known formally as olfactory fatigue, comes as a result of prolonged exposure to the same vape juice or e-liquid.
After using the same flavor of e-liquid for an extended period of time, the ability to detect the flavor can diminish. This is what’s known as olfactory fatigue, which is sometimes referred to as odor fatigue, vaper’s fatigue, and olfactory adaptation. It is a temporary inability to distinguish an odor after prolonged exposure to it.
The Remedy
This is why some vapers maintain e-juice rotations — to prevent olfactory fatigue, or “vaper’s tongue, from occurring. Here’s an example of a rotation:
- Day 1 – Switch between mint and berry e-juices throughout the day. Going back and forth.
- Day 2 – Switch between cotton candy and coffee flavored juices.
With a simple rotation like the one outlined above, one can do well to avoid vaper’s tongue.
