    Anyone else have an onion-y aftertaste issue?

    I suppose it could be sense of taste...I just didn't know onions stayed around that long after you ate them and brushed and rinsed and all...I guess if you're taste is coming back you'd notice that more. Ew.

    Anyone else have an onion-y aftertaste issue?

    I generally do not have any weird taste issues; since I'm still quite new I am vaping the cheaper flavors from house of vapor here in Amherst, ny. But I have noticed that if I eat anything that has onions in it; even if it was, say yesterday, even if I am all brushed and clean; I notice after a...

    She ;) :vapor::vapor: and you're right I do not have supplies...well, 1 charger, 2 batts, 2 tanks, a necklace to keep it safe, numerous flavors and 2 extra coils. That's a good start :)

    Burnt tasting wicks and how do you know; coils...

    Sorry; I don't know how to take pieces of quotes yet..lol... No I didn't attempt a dry burn. I soaked in white vinegar first which seemed to clean the coil and wicks very well; rinsed with water then soaked in vodka and just let them dry from there...both my coils and wicks seemed to come back...

    Just wanted to thank everyone again!! Cleaned my 1st one; it works much better now and tastes much better too!! Second tank is drying; that's the one I am not so sure about but after soaking it looks much cleaner so I think it'll be great!! Awesome advice from awesome people thanks :) :vapor::vapor:

    Burnt tasting wicks and how do you know; coils...

    Have a question for ya...if the last thing I rinse with is the vodka...do I have to worry about the flammability of the alcohol? Or will that just dissipate while drying?

    Burnt tasting wicks and how do you know; coils...

    Well, I started soaking one of them... it looks like they have a wick that is wrapped in the coil; didn't know that... there's quite a bit of burnt look on both wicks but with soaking (white vin 1st) now the vodka...seems some of the burnt is coming out. Have to do one at a time or I have...

    Burnt tasting wicks and how do you know; coils...

    I have some organic vodka I bought for the holidays (surprised there's any left ;)) I will clean them out and see where we go... typically how long do coils last? I have a VV batt I usually vape at 4.3 volts but occasionally go down to 3.8...I do vape like crazy though :vapor::vapor:

    Burnt tasting wicks and how do you know; coils...

    I assume that the dropping the juice on and letting it saturate is the "priming" someone else mentioned?

    Burnt tasting wicks and how do you know; coils...

    So, basically, try cleaning everything if it still tastes burnt the coils need replacing.... And in general, once my PV performance goes down it's time to replace coils??

    Burnt tasting wicks and how do you know; coils...

    I saw something about the vodka thing before as well. I will try cleaning them and see how it goes. Like I said, I am still new at this so just learning and there is soooo much info here and elsewhere. What do you mean by "well-primed with liquid"? Not sure I am comfy with rebuilding coils or...

    Burnt tasting wicks and how do you know; coils...

    I am so sorry guys... I am using a bottom fed Kanger EVOD tank/coil system... I do have extra coils; I am just not sure the coils are bad; I ran out of juice in one that's when I noticed the 1st burned taste. Basically, I am wondering if I can clean everything out and rinse the wicks (saw a...

    Sorry, I am really not good at posting on forums as in I think I say things wrong; but I have a couple of questions; still pretty new to this... 1. My wicks are tasting a bit burnt...is there anything I can do without having to change out the coils? 2. How do you know when it is time to change...
