One of the potential causes of weak hits is that you might have the condition vaper’s tongue. It happens when your tongue, and partially your throat, feel like they’ve become a bit numb. It can prevent you from tasting the flavor of your juice or even register the harshness of nicotine, the heat of the vapor, and the throat hit of propylene glycol (PG). Even if you have a box mod or the best from Fume vapes, you won’t taste or feel anything if you have a vaper’s tongue.
Vaper’s tongue happens because of a variety of reasons. It could be because of dehydration, smoking, or too much vaping. Thankfully, it’s temporary and can be relieved immediately.
If the vaper’s tongue is caused by dehydration, you can treat it by drinking more water than you do. However, even if you don’t have a vaper’s tongue, drinking more fluids is best, as vaping can cause dehydration. After all, PG is a hygroscopic substance that can prevent water from being absorbed into your body.
If it’s caused by smoking, you may want to stop for a while or quit it altogether. And if it’s because of too much vaping, you may want to give your tongue and nose some rest. You may be vaping too much.
If you can stop vaping, you may want to cleanse your palette by brushing your teeth, tasting intense flavors like lemons, or switching to another flavor.
