But that’s not the only cause of vaper’s tongue. Dehydration can also make things taste less intense than normal. It’s a known fact that vapor absorbs moisture, and guess what, your mouth is a very moist place.
Why does my e-liquid taste so bad?
Your e-liquid is too heavy E-liquid that’s too thick can flow sluggishly in some vape devices, resulting in poor vaporisation, dull flavours, or even no flavour at all. You won’t get more than a smidgen of flavour from your vape liquid if it runs too slowly in your device.
Why can't I taste vape liquid?
If VG is above 50%, your vape liquid may be too thick to generate a strong flavour in your device. Try also tilting your vape liquid bottle, and see how quickly the liquid moves. If it it’s really sluggish, this could be why you can’t taste much of whatever flavours you’re vaping.

What happens when you attach a new coil to a vape?
Normally, when you attach a new coil, the cotton inside it will draw up e-liquid from the tank after a while. But if you start vaping as soon as you’ve attached the new coil, liquid in your tank won’t have time to reach the heating element. And this gives you a flavourless – or weird-tasting vape as a result.
Complimentary Flavours
This is something we all know about, but as new vapers it might be something we didn't think would affect the taste of our e-cigarette. What I'm talking about here is the same thing as brushing your teeth before having a cup of tea, or on the other side of the coin, having a glass of red wine with your steak.
Illness and Tiredness
When you have a cold, flu or aren't feeling 100% for whatever reason, it will affect the taste of your vapour. It sounds fairly obvious as I'm typing it now, but it really did surprise me the first couple of times I experienced it and it can be quite dramatic.
Fresh Coils and Old Coils
I think most would agree that the best flavour you get is on the second or third fill of your e-cigarette device. From there on in it's a gradual downhill path, until it gets to the point where you start tasting a burnt dirty flavour or it just deteriorates to a simple lack of taste and vapour production.
Flavour Fatigue
I think flavour fatigue is the main reason for what people call 'Vapers Tongue', when vapers can't taste any flavour in their e-liquids. We are essentially bombarding our taste-buds with relatively strong flavours all day and sometimes I think we just need to give them a rest.

Refill Regularly

I'm so frustrated I could scream... Last night I saw a YouTube video about rewicking your coils with cotton. It boasted the improvement in flavor, etc... And I have extra coils so I tried. What followed was less than satisfying. I used cotton balls advertised as pure 100% cotton. Bought them especially for this.

If you are getting vapor but just can't taste it anymore it sounds like vapers tongue for sure.

Clean your tank, put a fresh coil in and fill it with a different flavor. That should help. I get on kicks where I'll vape a single flavor for days in a row and suddenly the taste gets either nasty or muted. I try to not over do it on a single flavor but some...are just so good!
