My tongue will do that vaping certain flavors like cinnamon, mint, menthol, spearmint, and wintergreen.
You could also be experiencing an allergic reaction to PG so please becareful. Some people have a reaction to VG also but it leans more to the PG side of juice. Or...it can also be the flavoring. Try switching it up like a higher VG ratio and different flavor and see if it helps any.

When I first got LR cartos I had a similar problem. I was drawing the vapor right across my tongue and it was too hot, so iritating. A drip tip on the carto put the heating coil a little further away and i changed my draw so the vapor did not directly hit my tongue out of the cartomizer.
That happened to me when I started. Buy some eliquid with some VG in it. Try juices with 20-30% VG. Nicotine is a skin irritant. PG base lets through the most of nicotine's TH AND irritation and the most flavor. The vapor of medium or high nicotine in 100% PG can be irritating for the tongue and for some people's throat or lungs.
If you can't use different juice (like if Japan does not have PG/VG blends or if you are using prefilled cartomizers) then try one step lower nic. You won't suffer - just take extra drags occasionally and you will be getting the same amount of nic. Another option is buy similar juices or PG and Vg and blend them. A large bottle of PG eliquid and a small bottle of VG eliquid with a similar flavor and same nicotine and mix them - for example - a 30ml bottle of PG juice plus a 10ml bottle of VG juice = 75pg/25vg juice.
With stuffing-type cartomizers I also use a plastic or delrin drip so there is a larger hole delivering the vapor into my mouth instead on a thing stream aimed at my tongue. if you are using something 510-based I recommend Boge cartomizers (slim 510 needs the standard resistance ones, not LR)

What flavor are you vaping? Like hairball said, some flavors will naturally do this - I know clove is notorious for leaving a numb feeling on your lips and tongue.
