In the previous article, we defined what vaper's tongue is. We also determined that there are multiple causes, instead of just a singular one. The further breakdown of smell disorders that were touched on are as follows:

• Anosmia - This can be a congenital issue from birth. People with this condition have no sense of smell whatsoever
• Hyposmia - With this, the ability to smell is reduced because of factors that include age
• Parosmia - Abrupt, unusual changes to smell; when something good suddenly smells unpleasant
• Phantosmia - From the name itself, this gives off a feeling of a non-existent odour

What are the possible causes of vaper's tongue?

Multiple studies have come out to reveal just how fast the body changes when someone gives up smoking. It can be quite difficult to stop altogether and fully eliminate it, mostly due to the high nicotine level consumed. Vaping is great for this process, in part since it helps in the decrease of nicotine levels. Some people find themselves trying to transition slowly from cigarettes to vape kits in the UK. They end up vaping and smoking at the same time. However, that should be avoided since it can trigger vaper's tongue.

The body is roughly 3/4 water. When the body is starved out of that, it will begin to shut down. The ability to not just taste but enjoy different flavours is directly affected when you end up consuming less water. While it may seem like feeling downright parched occurs when summer weather brings particularly hot days, vaping can also cause this because of the crucial e-juice ingredients: Vegetable Glycerine (VG) and Propylene Glycol (PG).

When it comes to PG specifically, you end up with a dry mouth since it's hygroscopic. This basically means that saliva's water molecules and PG's molecules end up bonding, leading to the moisture from your mouth being drawn out. As a result, you become more thirsty. Even if you end up vaping e-liquids that are purely VG, this is still likely to happen. A good rule of thumb is to always have water on hand so you can hydrate yourself between vapes.

This may seem like a no-brainer, but getting sick definitely has an impact on vaping. That could be anything from sinus issues down to the common cold, as well as having a sore throat. While your day-to-day life is affected by default, what you may not know is that your vaping experience also gets impacted. This is largely because being sick usually leads to your airways being blocked.

How can vaper's tongue be addressed?

• Drink more water
• Maintain your oral hygiene well
• Pace yourself
• Quit smoking altogether
• Use more than one e-liquid flavour

Conclusion

Vaper's tongue can be caused by a number of factors, including cigarettes, dehydration and illness. It is not a permanent condition and can be treated with a number of home remedies. This includes drinking more water and maintaining oral hygiene well.
