Olfactory fatigue...
submitted over 11 years ago by 3tern1tyMixologist

I need a better way to fix it.. I haven't been able to taste my mixes for the last few weeks. I gave my buddy a bottle of juice and he said it's great but all I taste is a slight sweetness and faint flavor. What's the quickest way to fix it? I've tried ginger, drank tons of water, what else? Ginger candies used to work for me but they don't now. Did I break my sense of smell?

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! menthol coughdrops for the fucking win.

EDIT: Further explanation. Halls Mentho-lyptus breathing in through mouth out of nose the whole time. drinking sips of water to rinse and loosen the menthol up every few seconds. I can taste again.

>there's always the tampon method...

I'm just gunna go ahead and not ask....

I'll try the coffee when I get home. If that doesn't work it's on to unflavored for a week or two.

yeah, unflavored was going to be my next suggestion

the "tampon method" was a joke perpetrated on ecr where sticking a tampon in your mouth was said to cure vapers tongue. someone did it and hilarity ensued.

a link (check out #4 in that long ass post, incidentally this post may be helpful to you right now)

and, another link

Hmmm I happen to have some menthol coughdrops... maybe that will help.

Stop vaping temporarily if possible, if not vape flavourless juice until it comes back.

I've heard a few drops of lemon juice on your tongue will help. Never confirmed myself though.

Yea, I've heard that or mixed with water as well. I just tried a menthol coughdrop. we'll see how that works.

I find that vaping lemon or lime flavors cleans my pallet. Vaping menthol would probably have a similar effect.
