Where'd the flavor go???

[ZambucaLu]

I bought some various flavors of 36mg juice and 5 empty carts from puresmoker the other day. I filled one cart with the Riskee juice....that was waayyy too good! I filled another with the cola juice....another awesome taste! Another I filled with coconut, which was okay (it did taste like coconut but wasn't strong enough tasting for me). The coffee (which I had hoped I'd love) really didn't taste much like coffee to me either, but it was okay.

I vaped all day on those, particularly the riskee and cola and was loving it. As the taste weakened, I added more juice to the cart...at times, also to the atomizer. But as the day wore on, I tasted less and less flavor. I was topping off like crazy but it didn't make a difference. Then I started tasting a burnt taste. This ended up happening with all the flavors.

I took some old carts, rinsed them out, dried them then refilled them with fresh liquid. It still never tasted the same again!

So what happened to my wonderful flavors? I am really bummed about this and at a loss. I have since used new batteries, freshly cleaned atomizers and even a new atomizer, with no change. I can't seem to get rid of that burnt taste.

I know it can't be the juice because they still smell wonderful. Could it be the used carts? Would I always need a brand new cart to taste that first flavor again? Could it be my taste buds? This is really baffling me.

BTW...I had also rec'd a 36mg banana flavor from pillbox. I filled the last blank cart I had with it and the same thing happened. It was wonderful for most of the day then it got weaker, then burnt tasting.

I thought using a rinsed filler would work but it seemed the only good flavor I got was with a new blank cart. Would that matter that much? Also, I am a pretty heavy vaper.

Anybody have any answers?

Thanks.

Hey Lu,

Yeah ... I've noticed this too with using cartridges ... thats why I only drip now ....

If you compare a brand new core (never filled) with a core that has been rinsed (filled before) you will notice a sheen on the brand new one. It almost looks like moisture but its not. This sheen/glistening material isn't seen once washed ... Its the only thing I have been able to come up with, but I think that (whatever it is) allows the pass between the cartridge and the atomizer to be (more virgin) if that makes sense? not even sure that makes sense to me ... LOL ...

When using a new cartridge core, it works great for the first 6-7 topp offs, than the quality of vapor and volume go down, due to the fact the strands are stuck together and liquid can't pass through it. I'm wondering when washed, if you are actually washing a .... lubricant of some sort of the cartridge filling at the same time ... so therefore, the juice tends to stick to the cartridge filling much much more, and not allowing it to transfer as easily ...

damn, i feel like i just said that all in 1 breathe ...

if dripped, juice tastes the same each time, every time ...

I talked to Steve today about the coffee. I had already gone through 3 bottles of it at 36mg and decided to tone down to 18mg with a 30 ml bottle. I had a bit of the old stuff left over and compared the 2 and they tasted a bit different. The new bottle I got was not as "rich". It is still good, but the orgasm I used to have on the coffee is not there.

Maybe Steve you can kick it up a notch as they say and really get some coffee flavor in there. I may have just gotten a odd bottle, sure hope so because I cant live with out this flavor.

Hey Steve, thanks for the reply!

I think you are on to something there about the difference in the new carts. I just ordered some more blank ones from you earlier....will give that another shot.

I just tried your suggestion with dripping and although it certainly did taste much better, I still didn't get that real sweet taste on either the coke or the riskee as I did the first time...dang it!

But here is my problem with dripping. I am really a heavy vaper...I think it would be impossible to drip as much as I need. The 36mg has helped me cut down on the analogs....but I wonder if dripping that all day would be okay for me. I could try cutting in a bit but I'm afraid I'll want more analogs then. What a dilemma!

Also, the 2 batteries I was using with it both went wacky today. I shook them and juice came out. I think I flooded them. How would I avoid this?

I really appreciate your suggestions because I am really at a loss here. Pete was talking about fish tank filler for the carts for cheap. I wonder if it's safe? Right about now, I'd try anything to get that flavor back!

I can smell them, I just can't taste them. Kinda like smelling fresh popcorn but not being able to get your hands on it

BTW.....think you'll ever do 36mg banana? It's awesome too!

Then I started tasting a burnt taste. This ended up happening with all the flavors.

Atomizer damage from dry smoking (swam within spiral heater burning) or baked liquid on the heater spiral.

Try cleaning with ethanol bath, if not sufficent You need a new atomizer.
