Warm comfortable water and NON IODATED salt, i use kosher ;)
 
Ok.

So I survived. Breathing a little easier, maybe I didn't use enough salt? I have a deviated septum from too many fights as a younger man so maybe that's why it isn't the miracle I expected it to be?

Far from a pleasant experience though.

Why non iodated?
 
I read some thing about iodine irritating the nasal lining, I also have a deviated septum from being dropped on my face lol so yea that doesn't go away. after about 5 or 10 minutes you will notice clear breathing.

Also blow your nose to get remaining water out :) It does take a little practice. I have noticed better results when i was less fearfull and used to the whole experience :) The more water and constant flow the better result, alternate nostrils. Warmer water also loosens things up quicker, just dont burn yourself ;)

I told you it wouldn't sting though ;)

You can adjust salt to feeling, plain water burns! little salt and you dont notice anything other then water in your nose. TOO much salt burns and de hydrates, its like a big gulp of salt water lol, not recommended to go with loads of salt ;)

Yeah, did both nostrils.

Used 2tsp kosher salt (iodated...) to about 500ml water. Did the procedure twice.
 
I wonder if all kosher salt is iodated, i thought it was not supposed to be? Any way yea your nose should open up shortly after doing this.
For me i have a noticeable change in breathing, enough for me to keep doing it ;)

Have never found non iodated kosher salt. And I live in a very Jewish neighborhood!

Will keep looking though.

Different salts have different properties, so using the right kind of salt can likely make a lot of difference.
 
hmm there is plenty of reading out there, maybe i am completely mistaken here, kosher works for me though ;)
 
Seems to have helped with my breathing, though my right nostril is still blocked (always is)

Can't tell if I'm tasting better or not cos I just brushed my teeth. Will report back tomorrow once I've done a second nasal cleanse.
 
I have been reading everything about vapor's tongue, I could find, lately. I first experienced this about 2 months ago and then this week again. For me it happens when I vape the same juice for an extended period. After a week of vaping the same juice, all taste disappears for that juice. The problem is that I like a juice so much that I want to vape it all the time, but then the vapor's tongue hits.
After reading all the information here and ECF, I am now also on a different juice with every tank as mentioned by people here on the forum. It is amazing how I taste all the other juices perfectly, but my favourite tastes like absolutely nothing. I will leave my favourite for a week and then see how it goes.
I also find that menthol juices destroy my tongue. Wierd, seeing that people like @Rob Fisher vape this 24/7. Menthol makes my mouth feel raw and it tends to mute all taste.

Just my experience.
 
Since I had vapours tongue, I very rarely vape 2 tanks of the same juice. I carry 2 x mPT3's and rotate flavours every day. Bit of a pain to wash tanks and coils every day, but its a small price to pay.

I really really have tried nearly every other juice on the planet to try and find more than one or two juices to vape... but at the end of the day it's only Menthol Ice with slight variations that I can continue to use. I'm going to be trying a few more top end juices from Seattle Vapor and Suicide Bunny as well as Bobas... but having sold a few of my REO's I'm going to wait until my new REO's arrive because I find that trying the juices in the commercial tanks isn't the right thing to do because it's not a fair shot... to test this theory I put some menthol ice in to one or two of them to test and low and behold I didn't like it that much!!!
 
I think it is @Silver that mentioned that he keeps one device set up for fruity flavours and one device for others. I am trying the same now. I have the Tesla with mPT3 for fruity ones, MVP with mPT3 for weirder fruity mixes and a mechanical mod with PT3 for dessert/vanilla/caramel type juices. I use different juices in the different devices without washing the tanks as the flavours are quite similar. I know this is not very connoiseur-ish, but it works for me.
I have a Trident that I can use with the mechanical as well, but that is normally for weekends when I have time to fool around a bit more.

I do exactly the same --> Fruit in one and Tobacco in the other. Never had the tongue!! Touch wood.
 
Yip I've got it really bad. I can't vape more than about 2mls of a peticular juice and it's gone... Dead. Like vaping flavorless.
The problem is though it kills anything in that taste range. If I vape a banana juice for instance, once the taste goes, it's will kill any banana in a vape for at least 2 days. So if I then vape say strawberry and banana I'll only taste strawberry.

I've tried every trick I've read... Menthol, cinnamon, coffee beans, head in a bucket of ice, vaping vicks... Nothing has worked.

Just come to terms with it, it's been about 4 months now.

Pls... I'm kidding about vaping vicks... Please don't try it
 
Lol @ShaneW - I once or twice smoked vicks. I have asthma, and I felt everything closing up. I didn't have an inhaler, so I took vicks, rubbed it on a cigarette, and smoked it. It worked well....
