Even the most experienced smoker forgets himself from time to time and hammers a VA, as I have just done after three consecutive bowls. Pillock. Similarly, noobs may drop the pipe like a hot pan after their first VA or aro experience. The reason? Tongue bite.
But there is a cure, which I'd forgotten about (being mainly an English smoker) until my son "rediscovered" it last week.
Red wine.
I favour Merlots, but I'm guessing others may work. Merlot is an extremely soft grape type, with a very mellow flavour. When my tongue bites (like it was five minutes ago) I pour a little into the glass, fill my mouth, and let it soak for a few seconds. Swallow. By the second attempt you will note that the tongue bite has all but disappeared. Many of you will go on to finish the bottle, but for the curative process to take place this will not be necessary. I recommend it however for other reasons.
The bottom line is, chaps, that this works, and I commend it to you at least for experimental purposes. Your feedback on this would be much appreciated, although adoption of our method may damage sales of Biotene.
