Sounds like a guy I knew in high-school... he refused to drink headache tablets, instead opting to crush and smoke em...
I always considered him to be one of those loopy folk...
So where's the video to the ice bucket challenge you speak of?

It is called vicks VAPORub 
The only thing that bothers me about this whole business is the damage I am doing to my tongue. A doctor must maybe jump in here, but in my limited knowledge, a lot of cancers are caused by constant irritations to specific part of the body. If you get a stomach ulcer, for instance, and leave it untreated for many years, it can eventually cause cancer. The same with cancer of the mouth as experienced by smokers. In my limited knowledge, the smoke constantly irritates the mouth and can eventually lead to cancer. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Now with vaping and the loss of taste or rawness of the mouth, is this not also an irritant to your mouth that can eventually lead to cancer?
I am rather stopping now, because this is becoming a very somber topic for a Friday afternoon.

I doubt it, Look at it this way... If you work in a butchery, after a while you don't smell the smell of meat. An undertaker doesn't that smell anymore.
Do you know what your house or clothes smell like? Both have a very distinct smell that you can't smell but others can.
It's the same thing... Exposed to a smell or taste long enough and your brain tunes it out. Mine just seem to tune it out quicker than most.
I noticed this a few months ago, we were working with rotting meat that we were mincing for bait (barbel fishing) everyone was gagging the entire time, I only gagged for 2 mins then I got used to the smell and it didn't bother me much.
I'm going for two weeks with this crap(Sunday). Only had 1 1/2 days of joy with my Reo.
Menthol definitely kills my taste buds but I oh so love it. I switch to Five Pawns (something or the other) at night just to give my buds a break but come morning, I have to start the day with a menthol and a cup of coffee!
In six months I have yet to suffer from this. Perhaps the strong espresso I drink throughout the day is a help. It certainly does jar my taste buds, but probably due to the way I vape.
I constantly change flavours all the time, currently I have a "tobacco" in one Reo, and a "dessert" in the other one. And I alternate between the two constantly. So far this approach seems to work well for me.
But I think the strong dbl espresso is the key

Since I changed to unflavoured during the day and started drinking more water I haven't had a return of the dreaded vapours tongue. I treat myself to a flavour a few times a day and at night. Sad thing is even then my tastebuds switch off to the juice i vape most. I can taste other juices just fine. I had to give my favorite local juice @Oupa 's VM4 a break after vaping it for 6 months solid. I just dripped some now after a 2 month break and I can taste it properly again. Time to order up

Really sorry to hear abont all you folk who have vapers tongue. Real pity
I dread ever getting this. I think it would majorly reduce the attraction of vaping for me
Big up to you guys for staying on the vape. May your taste return
@Gazzacpt , when you vape flavourless, do you vape 50/50 and at what strength?
I do 50/50 6mg. I think I made a mistake on the last batch it feels closer to 9mg 3 toots and my ears get warm

Lol, i think its because you are probably on a 0.2 ohm setup
You should stick it into the Evod !
Lol. Nope got it in a mild kayfun. 1.4 ohm on a mech. I can actually vape 9mg all day in a evod. But yeah that juice on my dripper and I'd probably pop a lung or something.
I am envious of your guys that can taste all the subtle flavors in juice. If I Vape a desert flavour all I can get is a sweet taste except for whirling dervish where I can get the cinnamon and tobacco and it is my favorite juice other than menthol ice from VM.
Is it vaopors tongue if you can only taste certain type of flavors and not others? I look at the reviews and use that as a guideline.
spoke to @Silver at the vapemeet where I told him that I use his reviews to determine what I should try. Although his views on juice does not coinside my taste buds his descriptions make a huge impact on what I will try.
I don't know if trying other types of flavor that you with normally use will help but give a try.

Thanks @yuganp - I am honoured that you feel that way about my juice reviews. Lol
Often, with a complex juice, I don't actually taste all the flavours totally separately. They are "lumped together" as one complex flavour. Its only when you focus hard on it and ask yourself what does this taste like, do you actually realise there is something in there that tastes like something you know. Also, I seldom can identify all the flavours on first vape. It takes me a long time of vaping it to realise. And sometimes I can only taste a particular element after eating something with a different flavour. Then it brings out that flavour.
I don't know if you have vapers tongue. I dont think so. I thought vapers tongue means you can't taste the juice at all for a while. If you can taste something sweet in a dessert juice then you are tasting something. And you get cinammon and tobacco in Whirling Dervish. I think vapers tongue sufferers would not get anything.
All the best
Hi Shane - I seem to have the exact same problem you described. Vaping "Claim Your Throne" for about a week (very recently quit smoking completely - previously was down to one-a-day for a few weeks). Now, its as though its totally flavourless. I'm also not getting a lot of other similar desert/sweet flavours. When I vape Elvis' Breakfast, I get the peanut butter, but the banana is totally gone. Suicide Bunny OB also practically flavourless for me now. This morning I was all good, now, no flavour at all. One thing though.... I'm starting to think, after a lot I'm reading, that the Nautilus Mini and BVC coils might be a common denominator or making things worse??
Interesting deduction and you are not the first person to suggest this. However... this happened to me way before the I started to use the nautilus in all my other tanks/RDAs/RTAs.
My only suggestion is to vape something completely different for about 2 days like menthol and/or fruit. I dont enjoy menthol and fruit but it helps to reset my taste buds.
Good luck, I feel your pain
I just make sure that I have at least 3 or 4 diff flavors at any given time and make sure that I rotate regularly. I never get vapor's tongue.
I agree @ShaneW even your adv loses its effect after a few days of vaping it . What I do is load my all day device with my adv juice and load my back up device with a different juice for night time vape. In most cases it's a dessert type but for a change ill go with a fruit. Not a menthol fan so don't keep any of those types on hand. This seems to work with keeping the flavours popping all the time
Yip exactly.
I have this with custard now, because it's the only flavour type of juices I've had for a week, and now I can't really taste any.
I've done this before, and vaping a few tanks of something completely different sorted it out.
Hi Everyone, I was just wondering what you guys recommend for vaper's tongue?
So far I find, strong mint gum, strong mint juice or lots of water the best way to deal with this.
Any other suggestions?

Coffee. I use only coffee. Works the best. Preferably strong and black. Resets the pallet quickly. Every vape after a mouthful off coffee is like a first taste of the juice.
