I have a few moving parts here, but i have recently noticed a huge and profound drop off in taste...TH is still about the same, but it's like puffing air. The only thing that is seeming to help at all is to fire the battery a bit BEFORE taking a hit, which I guess heats the juice more. I have recently gotten some new juices, which I have not been very impressed with, but have switched around enough to where I think I have eliminated that as the primary cause...some of the juices I used to use that had decent taste no longer have much. The only thing that seems to help is adding a bit of coffee flavoring to the mix (mostly tobacco flavors but also dragon's blood and Mountain Dew) which seems to kick it up a notch, but makes it taste like a Blu tobacco disposal, which is not an aspirational flavor.

Is it and equipment problem or am i just struggling through a bout of vaper's tongue? I use a pretty primitive setup...Ego with atty/carts (have changed out carts and atty and have kept batteries charged. Could it be the juice? Suggestions?

Vaper's Tongue
Voltage/Power drop off as the battery gets lower
Changing taste buds
Wicks/heads/ getting older
Filler(if any) getting clogged especially on cartomizers
Dehydration or types of liquids you are drinking
Juice settling/needs to be shaken to remix before adding back into the tank

I had the same reactions and found, for me at least, changing juices or just giving my regular flavor a break helps.

I'm fairly new to vaping but I've also experienced this myself. Though i am almost 100% positive that its because i no longer smoke analogs and I've just become accustomed to vapor. I also find myself vaping a lot at under 10mg of nicotine so i think that also comes into play. when i switch flavors it helps and just taking a break from the pv :) If you can manage lol. good luck mate
 
Throat hit is played in part by the nicotine levels. I dropped to 6mg while my buddy still vapes 12. When I took a couple drags off his set up after a few months at 6mg, i was coughing like it was my first cigarette.

As for the flavor, I agree with what everyone else has said about the dehydration. I seem to spend a lot of my time puffing on my PV, and after a while I get dehydrated and the taste is very bland and unappealing. Drink some water or eat or brush my teeth and then im back at it.
