burnt taste???

[lorraineg57]

I keep getting either a flooded atomizer resulting in no vapor or a burnt taste. The flooding can usually be resolved by blowing out the atty...the burnt taste seems a little tougher to diagnose. Not enogh liquid? When I add more I flood the atomizer again....hard getting off analogs when keep a consistant vapor...

Burnt taste can have many reasons. Low battery,not enough fluid,hotboxing the e-cigs.
Taking too hard or long of a draw can cause this. Some e-cigs cannot stand for a long draw and others can. I have to use a lease 2 cigs. I use one and if it gets hot,I get the other one. Back and forth to not get a burnt taste.

What device are you using?

[bradcruise]

I usually notice a burnt taste when the flavor has all been vaporized and there still seems to be a little pg in there-most likely when theres hardly any juice in the atomizer. Also check your cartridge material-if its dry at the top then its most likely burning that-always keep the top damp although it is hard since the liquid always seems to flow to the bottom-making the juice in the bottom impossible to vape. take the cartridge out and just vape with the atomizer on and see if it still taste burnt-then its most likely the cartridge giving problems

Sorry for the typo. I meant hard getting off analogs when I can't get a consistent vapor. I posted that message from work on my phone.

I'm using a 901 from MVS. I've had it maybe two weeks...if that.

It seems that everytime I look at the cartridge, the top looks dry but when I add a few drops of liquid, I end up flooding the atomizer. When it works properly, it's pretty amazing. I need it to work though, not have to spend 15 minutes trying to figure out why I either don't have vapor or it tastes burnt. By that time, I've already picked up an analog....

I'm assuming it's operater error somewhere since the 901 is supposed to be a very good starter e-cig.

I love mine- but some here will razz you lol
I tried two other types and still think my 901 rocks. If you have a cleaning cycle on your battery and you don't get the battery off in time- the atty is a goner, it just wont ever taste right again. I have three burnt tasting ones(anyone want them? lol)... The 901 is a gas hog- are you using carts or dripping liquid? (sorry if you said and I missed it.) I get a burnt taste when its dry- I think it taste like a night club with the fog machines. I also have over heated my atty and tasted it. And often I have found now when I am about to lose an atty I taste it.
In my opinion, carts- if you use them- are just unrealistic and dry up fast. I cannot go back to them. I drip a few drops of liquid on the top of my wool before each use. It feels like I do this A LOT (which I guess I do) but I haven't even made a dent in my new 30 ml juice. It takes time to truly get the hang of the whole process, but you figure out what you like the best and just kinda find your new habits.

You did say you're using liquid...duh me....
do you only have one atomizer?

No, I have three. I keep seeming to do the same thing no matter which one I try, which lends itself to the operater error theory. :o)

I'm a light drawer, even with analogs, I hate when DH takes a hit off of my analog, he always makes them hot and gross with long, drawn out hits.

When I drip a few drops on the cartridge filler, I end up flooding the atomizer (I think, because I can blow drops of liquid out of it) and get NO vapor.

"If you have a cleaning cycle on your battery and you don't get the battery off in time- the atty is a goner"

REALLY? I hadn't read that I needed to remove the battery for that anywhere...In fact, I really haven't seen a lot of mention of the self-cleaning cycle at all. I just went through the "instruction manual" (and I use the term VERY loosely) and it doesn't even mention a cleaning cycle. It does however say "Be careful to avoid inhaling any small amount of liquid mucus caused by the oral stimulation"....OMG....I'm not gonna touch that one with a 10 foot pole. What the heck does that mean aside from what it SOUNDS like it means....

Really hoping these atomizers aren't fried. I haven't been very consistent with using the e-cig and I really can't order anything else at least until I quit analogs, paying for both is just ridiculous...

OMG...not fair, mine does not provide such services!
(dies laughing)
Ok so what juice do you have? It seems it might be too runny? How are you holding it and do you prime it? (I prime mine- three quick puffs if I have put it down for a while...which is never... but in theory I would do that lol)
This is a hard thing to talk about in text- wish I could show you first hand how to suck on it.
buahhhh...I'll be all red faced after I hit send...

Too funny...I can't even re-read what they have printed in the manual without laughing....How could someone write that and not catch the inference there?

I guess it's possible. It's almost 50% commercial juice/around 25 % VG/ a few drops of water/ a few drops of LorAnn flavoring and the rest PG....

I sometimes do a quick primer puff. Although it doesn't always seem necessary. I don't know...I'm waiting for a battery to charge as we speak. I can't believe I'd even have a dead battery for as little as I actually use it.
