Factors that may cause this. Time since you smoked, Nic level and if a coil gets gunked up it will ruin the taste. High nic levels will cause you taste to get muted. Or if you vape stuff like menthol or cinnamon.
Most get it, or so I read. Mine took a bit to get rid of. And even then it is partial. I notice a change, but I have trouble at times, or so I believe. I add flavoring to some juices, another 3% helps.
I want vaping to work, so I am willing to tinker, as I need.
Hope helps

I have been there. Sometimes your buds just gets too used to a flavor you vape a lot. What I do is order a big-... bottle of my favorite like 125ml. Then I order maybe a 15ml of the same but in that one I specify "Double" flavor (or equivalent depending on your juice maker). Then I mix 'em both together.
If I get it, I grab a totally different flavor and vape that awhile. If that doesn't fix it, I go to the drawer and start vaping all of my stuff I didn't like.

i JUST grabbed the bottle I liked to least haha. really hope it goes away
I'm also ridiculously frustrated with this whole "vape tongue" thing. For the past couple of days I can hardly (or at all) taste vape juice. I usually vape a strong menthol and alternate with a fruit. I've tried any wacky idea I can find to no avail. Vaping a really strong flavor, rinsing my mouth with vinegar or lemon juice (sorry tooth enamel), hydrating, brushing my teeth, etc. Absolutely nothing will fix it or even help. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!
Try sniffing coffee. Not snorting it, just sniff it for the aroma.
Dam I missed the sniff part of that conversation, I am going to be up all night now!
If you start getting the craving to try brain flavored e-liquid then, yes, you for sure have the dreaded Zombie tongue.
zombie tongue gone! smoke some of my less flavorite flavors for a few days then went back to my ADV
I don't know why this works, and I hope to heck no one ever sees me doing it, but it does work. lol One of the - dang, I've lost count - many little tips and tricks I've learned here.
Welcome, Arprok13!
my favorite vape tastes like nothing
What happens is the "flavor" really comes from your nose (olfactory glands).
You mouth only tastes sweet, sour etc.
Like having a cold and you can't taste the flavors.
Anyway .. using the same flavor all day gets boring to your mind, and it then shuts the flavor out, like white noise.
Have you every been in a house with an unpleasant odor? ...
Have you noticed that if you stayed there long enough, you didn't notice it anymore ??
Same thing ... brain gets bored with the same-o.. same-o and turns it off.
Some people lose it for days, some for weeks.
There are things you can do to shock the glands back into service, like taking the lid off of the coffee can, and breathing the fresh fumes of ground coffee, scrubbing you teeth and tongue, eating hot peppers, sipping pickle juice ... vapers have tried it all.
Just keep a rotation of flavors (several mods) going and you'll be fine.
Variety makes for better vaping anyway.

I rotate flavors. I have my early day vape and my night time vape. My night vape is usually a harsher vape, my morning vape is usually a mild clear juice. I also vape different flavors with my coffee, usually bakery. I dont get vapers tongue any more but when i did, i would drink a glass of water, brush my teeth, rinse with mouth wash, drink another glass of water. Wait about half an hour, and then drink some soda. That took care of it for me.

i've got a case of the vaper's tongue as well & i read in a similar thread to "huff" coffee... i imagine fresh ground beans would work best but i used instant & it seems to have helped, along with drinking some pickled jalapeno juice & brushing my teeth.
I just take a few good hits of Halo's sub zero and that pretty much boils off anything on my tongue, throat and lungs
nothing is muting sub zero..
then after that things seem to be back to normal for my other juices,once the frost bite is gone anyways.
