Bad Taste

[9sam1]

I just got a 510 disposable kit from madvapes because I wanted to try out E-cigs.

I must say the taste is just atrocious, but I've heard so many people rave about e-cigs and I don't get it.

Will it get better over time? Is it just a bad kit and the flavors are no good?

idk but it tastes kind of plasticy to me, at first I thought it was something wrong with the cig but I smelled the cartridge and it smells just like it tastes.

There's a bunch of different flavors out there, I'm sure you will find one you like. That and a new atomizer will have a bad taste until all the preservative is off the wick, kinda a metallic taste to me. Some will clean their new attys, but you can just blow it out and vape the new out of it.

I have read in other sub-forums that that is a common problem with that one. I've never tried it myself but basically what I'm reading is that it burns through juice really quickly and the flavors seem to be lacking.On the other hand, it seems to be quite popular. I'm not here to recommend anything, but that's what I've read. I would keep reading and check the seller sub-forum about others that may be having the same problem as you.

Blow through the atty from the battery side, it's supposed to help get out whatever's on the wick.

Generally a new e-cig and atomizer will ship with a 'primer' liquid that prevents corrosion of the coil while in storage. That may be what you are tasting. It will generally fade fairly quickly, however sometimes it takes a while. Blowing it out, as suggested above may quicken that up some. Stick with it, it'll probably improve.

I'll 2nd that. Sometimes a 510 breaks in within a few minutes and sometimes it can take a day or two.

Give it time and try different juices. When I first started vaping, I only used tobacco flavors, but since my taste buds "revived" from 35+ years of smoking analogs, I no longer use any of the "named" tobacco flavors...just my own DIY juices.

You didnt say what flavor carts you got with it - blowing it out btw helps enormously - I do it with all mine (I have 510s) - any weird taste goes fast. I aslo have very flavorful juices I can pop right in as well - none of which are tobacco taste - I much prefer the sweeter ones

I guess it is supposed to be a Marlboro flavor?

 

[CaptJay]

The marlboro type flavors can be a bit dodgy in taste as far as 'tasting like a real cig' goes. You won't ever duplicate the taste of ciggies - not exactly - but you can get close.
Did you try blowing out the atty and seeing if that helped at all? Do you have any other juice flavors you can try with it? My noob mistake was not buying enough flavors so its easy to do - good flavors really change the experience for the better imo.

Even after break-in, I couldn't stand the flavor of the filled carts included with my 510 kit. Keep trying flavors. I have found the Rath tobacco flavor OK. Still looking though as I've just finished my first week of vaping.
