Horny Mango Discolouration After Half a Tank

[menace66]

Hi Guys,

I am sure Horny Mango is a favourite here. So I am wondering if the discolouration seen in my pic is normal. You can see the juice in my tank is more of a brownish colour as compared to the original. I vape other flavours with similar light colours and they don't discolour or have a burnt taste like this.

Apart from the discolouration, I also notice the flavour has a charred/burnt taste as well. A friend also experiences the same thing. Thank you.

it's normal, you accidentally charred some cotton. Some times the burnt taste will stick until you wash it up.
Discolouration without change in taste = chamber heat doing funky things to the juice.

Asked 3 friends and they face the same thing for horny mango. Guess its normal for this flavour.

Ensure wick or cotton is well satured so they won't burn. Heat from the atty can also cause color of certain liquids to change. Hope to try horny mango soon...

^ its prolly brown because of your eliquid being caramelised from the heat. Your wick may not be feeding juice directly or evenly to your coil as well.

your using subtank mini ? To have a burnt taste the problem is prolly with your tank

Hi guys. The point is that only this flavour has this problem. Experienced by 2 other friends as well. All other juices are ok. I juz threw in a Titanium coil to see how it goes koz the only friend not facing this issue is using Titanium. Will update with the results.

Anyways guys, this is how I build my subtank mini. Below pics 1 with open and 1 with spaced coils.

It happens when you burn the cotton from firing too long... or your coils are dirty. is the flavor still the same even if discolored?

Flavour changes slightly. I can taste a slight charred taste but otherwise still acceptable.

Why in the world is your cotton sticking out of the juice holes? The cotton is supposed to be sitting within the boundaries of the juice cap.

Titanium coil on tc mode or??

Every once in a while, I will remove the drip tip, shin a torch light into the atty and see if the coils are dirty. If they are dirty I'll replace both the wire coil and cotton. Ensure the cotton is saturated before screwing on the top cap. Don't just fill the tank with dry atty inside because if you do this, the first few puff may be dry...Ruining the taste of subsequent puffs. Takes awhile for the cotton to seep into the cotton.

Titanium coil on tc mode or??

Yup. On TC mode. I didnt like the way my ipv3li and ipvd2 tasted on Ti mode. So I juz used Ti but on Nickle mode. Just set the temps to abt 270degF. It gives a vape that feels pretty close to Kanthal. Using Ti mode, I didnt like the way the TC pulses on and off to keep the temps at ur set temp.

Yup. I saturate my wicks 1st. Pic is just to show my build. I saturate the cotton before finishing.

I have the same problem exactly with my strawberry & cream DIY... it's gunk from the coil, back-washing into the tank, which darkens the whole tank. I had to stop using it in a tank at all, and use an RDA for it, so I wasn't wasting so much juice; although it still tasted fine to me after turning brown, my husband told me it stank to high heaven. I figured if it smells that bad, I probably ought not be vaping that.

Usually it's sweetener in the juice that causes it; my strawberry & cream is very sweet, has several cream flavors, and the strawberry itself is an organically-derived flavor (it's Inawera Shisha Strawberry); organic flavors are bad for gunking, because there's stuff in it that won't vaporize cleanly.

U should try out Titanium coils. I got my problem solved with this.

I did try titanium, and I thought it sucked; after just one day's use, there was so much gunk that it literally wouldn't vape anymore at all, and since you can't dry burn titanium and it costs twice what kanthal does, I sold the Evic-VT along with the spool of Ti wire. The vape wasn't very good either, much too soft/smooth/weak, just blah. No thanks. For folks vaping below 10w, TC is not necessary.
