Very good post , my taste buds are bad all the time and i tend to go for strong juice so i can taste it, afro dizziac , menthol etc.
sometimes it gets even worse and drinking more water than normal for 2 days and eating 2/3 bags of cheese and onion crisps for both days seems to work for me.
might try the lemon though yuk

A strong menthol in a tank or 2 seems to sort my vapers tongue right out!

I use Minth.

No, not Mince, but Minth.

That is 5% Mint (spearmint flavour) and 5% Menthol, made up with a 50/50 PG/VG.
Its nice an cool and leaves a nice minty flavour in my mouth.

Since finding how good this is, I use it last thing at night, every night. Not had any vapers mouth since.

I use T juice Red astaire mixed 60/40 at 20% flavor. Not had a problem since lol. been vaping it 24/7 for a few months. So perfect, mixed a litre up yesterday

that's a very interesting article james

I was hit by vapers tongue for about a week some 3 weeks into vaping - but fortunately only in the evening - and my solution was a strong lemon-orange-menthol vape ( which I still like ) - as already then I used to vape at least 3 different flavours - it was not the boredom of one - and as I clean my protanks regularly in the ultrasonic cleaner - it was not a dirty atty - and I was not vaping long enough for my liquids to be out of date.
I have not had vapers tongue ( fingers crossed ) for a long time - and have the same nice vaping experience in the evening as during the day 

the coffee does work - I used to manage a shop for natural cosmetics and my boss made great perfumes - we used coffee to neutralize the smell - in Innsbruck - my favourite perfume shop has a char of coffee to smell for the customers.

the human mind is intriguing and easily to be influenced - I am not immune to that - but I also did a course in hypnotherapy which was very interesting and try at least not to be too much influenced - I happily shop at Lidl or Aldi and can't taste any difference between their and Morrisons tomato paste for example

I did not know about the Derren Brown experiment - but I like the guy and his way to show the audience, how easy it is to be influenced - I did some 20 years ago a joke at a party - I had carafed red wine of a 2l bottle into 2 carafes and asked people to tell me which one tastes better - there were about 40 and only one noticed that it was the same wine. Also for a joke I used unflavoured food colour for pastry - the red and yellow ones went immediately - not so the green and blue ones

We'll I don't have dekang but I do have all the individual concentrates, how does 10% of each sound, too much menthol ?

[Clivia]

hm - to be honest I don't know - but out of feeling I would make a concentrate 40% orange - 40% lemon and 20 % menthol Greg - because if it's to little menthol you could always add a few drops later

and then have 20% of that concentrate

[james]

I'll have to try the lemon and menthol solution!

Clivia, we were going to do a testing video to try and demo the psychological element of tasting, but just ran out of time!
