I actually have a really good suggestion. I know I'm new, but I do my research.
I've found out that removing the wick inside the atomizer will drastically reduce the burning flavor you get sometimes. There are videos online how to remove the wick and it's super easy and requires only a toothpick. Sometimes, the wick next the coil will dry or move out of place and get "burned by the metal heating coil". I took the wick out of my 1st 510 to find that it was dislodged from the bridge and resting on the coil. You can imagine the burnt look it took on, haha. I drip, so sometimes when I realize I'm running low on juice and need to drip again is when the wick is "dry" and will start to burn.
I hope this helps you as much as it helped me. Now, I know when I need to drip again solely on the fact that I'm not getting as vapor instead of getting a hot burned throat hit.
Removing the wick doesn't always work and when it does, it really only works if you exclusively drip. I've removed wicks before and it's just killed the atty altogether - so don't try this on new attys! It's supposed to be good if you drip, though.
While you are absolutely correct in the respect that it does transform the atty into a "dripping only" atty, it sure does beat having that disgusting burnt flavor every time you use the thing! Since the alternative is to throw the atty away, I think this is a pretty good solution to extend the life of it
Same here, SuZamme. I only get the burnt taste very rarely - if I vape it WAY too dry. I use the PTB Made Easy cart mod (have for over a year now) and the cart takes 10-12 thick drops. I haven't dealt with burnt atty taste for a long time now - I just make sure to refill when it starts to taste dry, not wait until it tastes burnt.I must be doing something wrong. The only time I get that burnt taste is when I choose to vape a dry atty. That's why I keep going back to my Fluval method...it wicks the e-juice to the atty and the fall-off in vapor/flavor is the indication to re-fill with juice. (3) 510 mega atty/cart combinations freshly filled will easily last me for 5+ hours of vaping...using TWDV juices.
