How often do you change your e-juice?
Hmmm.... never? I've been vaping the same thing since December 2014, with very few and short exceptions. I do change the recipe slightly every few months; as my tastebuds SLOOOOOOOWLY awaken from their 39 yr coma, I find that I need less flavoring. The sweetener was the first to be RADICALLY reduced, from 2.5% to now about .35%-.38%. Got my strawberry and cream down from 31% flavoring to just a bit under 26%.

You don't get burned out or vaper's tongue?
Never burned out; the juice is just too good for that. I did get vaper's tongue a couple of times, briefly, during the first 6 months or so after I quit smoking. By the next day, it was gone. During the first year, occasionally I would have a bad case of "everything tastes and smells WEIRD." Not just the vape -- EVERYTHING. I figured it was just part of the recuperation from long-term smoking -- though apparently I can no longer enjoy italian sausage AT ALL; it tastes and smells very gamey and strong to me now, though I used to love it. Also, a couple of times when I've been ill, the strawberry & cream didn't smell good to me, so I'd vape something else for a few days.
Now, if I start getting the "this is ICKY" feeling from my vape, I understand that it's time to lower the percentages again; never by very much at a time, but just enough to regain my enjoyment of it. But one of the most important things I want from my vape is dependability, just as I had from cigarettes -- I smoked some strength of VA Slims for more than 30 yrs, and no other cigarettes tasted good to me, when I might occasionally need to bum one from somebody. It doesn't have to knock me over with flavor; it just has to be *familiar* and thus comforting, satisfying my "habit."

I haven't been vaping very long but some days, the flavors I have and know I like just don't taste very good. Sometimes they don't seem sweet enough, other times they seem too sweet. Then then next day, they'll taste fine. It's weird. I haven't found one that just knocks my socks off so much that I want it for my daily. There's one that I'm very fond of, a strawberry-peach-lime-other fruit kind of thing. It's pretty close to what I want regularly, though.
You said you were already smoke-free for quite some time before you started vaping, right? If that's the case, then it's probably not a case of comatose tastebuds, but maybe of just finding just the right flavor. But who knows; I'm definitely a tiny minority in sticking to one flavor so exclusively for so long, but as I said, to me it's more about that dependability, same as with cigarettes. I really never thought I'd be able to quit smoking by ANY means, and vaping, to me, even at 2 2/3 yrs smoke-free, is still ENTIRELY about replacing smoking -- mainly the behavior and sensations of it, since I've been off WTA over a year and down to 3mg for some months now -- but I still want that super-tight draw, and a fair amount of TH, though I really don't care much for the taste of tobacco anymore, and certainly nothing that's even remotely close to the taste of cigarettes.
You may find that you're more like most other vapers, and want a nice variety in your vaping. Nothing wrong with that at all, it seems to be quite common, it's just not for me; if I couldn't depend on a familiar flavor, vaping would lose a great deal of its "replacement" value.
