I guess my question is this. How can I keep my taste buds firing on all cylinders while vaping 24/7?

Do you have any sinus issues? People generally don't realize how important a good sense of smell is to taste. Have you ever done a nasal lavage? (
Slideshow: Nasal Irrigation: Relief for Colds & Allergy Symptoms). If you've never done it before, done properly, you will be shocked at what will come out. If I've had a cold, I do this (I do a deep lavage where a lay on the bed with my head over the edge and fill my sinus completely and soak for 3 minutes). You need to get the lavage solution correctly balanced with salt to create the correct hypertonic solution. It will loosen and remove built up material and properly balance the hydration of the tissue. You may have to do it more than once.
Secondly, have you done a tongue scrape? You probably have a lot of dead tissue on your tongue. Go to the drug store and get a tongue scraper (
Tongue cleaner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) and get rid of the dead tissue. Once thats done, brush the rest of your mouth well. Then, make the same salt solution you did for your sinus and hold that solution in your mouth for 3 minutes. Again, you're rebalancing your tissue hydration with a hypertonic solution. And again, you may have to do this more than once.
Thats the cheapest, easiest and best way to deal with what you're describing.
EDIT: Oral and nasal tissue renews regularly so over time, unless dealing with a medical condition, your sense of smell and taste should come back if you lay off a bit on what you're doing too much of. If it doesn't, see your doctor because something is definitely wrong.
