10 tips to avoid harsh, burnt taste on 510 atomizers
(Or, "What I've learned so far on ECF...")
These tips may work on other atomizers, as well.
1. Blow out the primer fluid on new attys
2. Two drops of liquid on the new atty, "puff & blow" until the atty takes on the flavor of the liquid
3. Don't drag too long to overheat the juice on the atty
4. Don't use too fast between draws to allow the atty to wick up more juice & cool down
5. Modify the filler (PTB or straw method) to optimize wicking and not have to top off or refill as much
6. Occasionally remove the filler and rinse it out, dry & refill
7. Certain flavors can handle a long, slow draw (tobacco, menthol, coffee, nut flavors) and certain ones taste better with a quick, deep draw (fruity, delicate, sweet flavors.)
8. Occasionally clean them. Methods to research include blowing them out, hot water rinse, boiling them in water with or without baking soda or vinegar, dry burns, coke and/or vodka baths. Research these before trying!!
9. Don't flood the atty or it may overwork it trying to vaporize the excess liquid.
10. Try different liquids & nic levels. Not all liquids are created equal. If you aren't satified with the vapor/throat hit, you may be overusing it and not allowing time for the the atty to wick & cool.
