BAD chemical taste in atomizers

Bastage, if I remember right the movie there were no additional electronic elements in the USB mod, apart from the switch. This means that u are supplying 5V instead of 3.6 to the athomizer.

That is NOT what is causing this problem. My battery pack supplies 4v, and my USB measured at 4.8. If I had a problem burning up atomizers at 4.8 I would have dropped it down and added that info to my tips and tricks post. I used my previous atomizer for a month on my USB and battery. After using the brand new one that tasted so bad, I switched to one of my other new ones, and it is working just fine as well.

As far as running 4 batteries, yes I can see why that would burn up your atomizer, it's too much voltage. If you're going to use AA or AAA it's best to only use 3. (that provides 3.6-4v to your atomizer).

Sounds like Janty and the dreaded plastic taste. I have narrowed that down to the little clear plastic caps on top of their carts. It seems that the e-juice is disolving them. I pulled the plastic cap off a Puresmoker cart and it feld dry and rubbery. Pull one of a Janty cart and it felt slimy and gooey and smelled jut like the nasty taste I was getting. Very difficult to get that taste out of the atomizer.
