Odd taste coming out of my NJoy

[UncleMidriff]

For most of the day today, I've been experiencing a pretty awful taste from my NJoy. At first, I thought it might have been due to my using Crown7 packings in my old NJoy cartridges. However, today I received the cartridges I bought from MyECig.com, and while they tasted fine for a bit, the same foul taste has come back.

It tastes/smells ever so slightly of sulfur...I'm afraid that's the best I can do to describe it.

Any advice?

I had the same thing happen to mine & i washed the atomiser under the tap* & let it dry for a day or so.
It tasted a bit nasty for a few puffs after the wash but then it was fine again.

*try at your own risks...

I would suggest asking Mark at Njoy customer service first. Don't void your warranty by trying a DIY solution.

What leaford said. You may have e-cig juice crud in it or it could be the older Njoy atomizer. Don't void that warranty. Just email Mark at Njoy and let him know what's going on. He will get back with you. I got the newer atomizer last Friday and it seems to be doing pretty good! No ukky taste and it seems to be smoking fine too.

It could be a gunked-up atomizer, but please see the Health and Medicine section for Dr. Loi's comments on danger in the cartridge. That "sulfur" odor/taste might be vaporized polyester from your core material contacting the atomizer and burning. It is important that you NOT inhale polyester vapor.

Thanks for the heads up.

Same thing from one of my 2 atomizer on my electronic cigarette. It MAY be the polyster burning (or having burned with an old cartridge). Anyway to clean that? I tried with regular water (then blowing water, putting liquid from cartridge and smoking a little bit to remove water) and the taste is lower, but still there....

Thanks in advance!

Use tweezers (the really fine pointed type) to pull out any fibers stuck in the atomizer head. Then blow through the battery end. Liquid gets under the bottom plate of the atomizer and gets gross
Blow hard and several times until there is no more moisture coming out. You can rinse if you want to - but I prefer just to blow the junk out. You have to blow hard btw.

I got the odd taste w/the Njoy and seemed to have some success today removing it.
- blew out the atomizer using computer air (pointing the straw onto the battery end of the atomizer),
- then dry smoked it (no cartridge, just original mouthpiece) WITHOUT INHALING for probably 45 minutes.

There were great billowing clouds of vapor as I really puffed away on it. I noticed after I took a hit that if I pulled off the mouthpiece the atomizer was still vaporing (has anyone else noticed this?). It definitely seemed to be burning something off the atomizer that wasn't quite normal.

Once the vapor had dwindled down to very little, I tried a regular new cart again and the burning taste/smell has so far been gone.

All of you whose posts gave me the above ideas - THANK YOU!!

Sulphur... sounds more like 'cartridge or liquid left in too long' to me... This could be the case with a new e-cig too: maybe it was on a shelf for a couple of weeks before being sent to you. Or even more time went by since someone last put some liquid (testing-liquid at factory perhaps) into it ...
I've had it with one of my devices, no doubt at all that it was time-related and not wool-related or in any way burn-related... and boy was that foul, and hard to get out (still not out all the way).
