I have been vaping my new loongtotem for a week now and i have noticed a little burnt taste.

Today i took a brand new cart puffed it 15 times and opened it..

The filling was burnt black.

I want to upload pic but i cant.. sorry

yup this happens when the liquid is depleted. it has been pointed out though the filling is more than likely a type of paper.

Hmm the filling i not dry.. I feel this is a healt risk.

it's dry enough that the paper will burn - it is a design flaw. when you taste the burn - stop vaping or before. It's one of the reasons these have a cut-off - if they didn't the burn would surely come sooner. paper is also inhaled when cigarettes are smoked.

Still this is e-cigs and no paper should be inhaled. In the 15 puffs i took i dident taste any burn. But by the look of the "paper" i still must have inhaled some.

I agree, typically the paper does not burn until the liquid is significantly depleted. you must have gotten a cart where the liquid had not spread evenly is all I can guess. Perhaps the kevlar(?) sleeve was not in place correctly. loong carts are a mixed bag as far as I can tell. Some people say they can use one cart for a whole day. I get closer to 60 drags. Some carts contain a steel wool shield around the element. others don't.
