Another Newbie

[lunaxi]

Hi!
I'm new to vaping, just started about a few weeks ago and am really enjoying it.
I joined to get advice, suggestions, and recommendations for e-juices and vapes.
I'm trying desperately to quit smoking cigarettes for my health and for my daughter and husband.
So far my husband is happy with me vaping instead.
So yeah, hello!
First question:
I have 2 Flavors vapor eliquids, 6mg Hawaiian Funk and 6mg Pina Colada, I really enjoy the taste but I can't seem to get much vapor out of them.
Sometimes they taste burnt. the same brand has a Vanilla Cupcake flavor that tastes burnt too. Is there something i can do to help this?

Favorite flavor so far has been Unicorn Killer!

Welcome to ECF! Burnt taste usually means your coil is dirty from the liquid/vaping.

Hello, lunaxi . . . Welcome to the ECF Vaping community.

With regard to your query, what type of device are you currently using?

 

[lunaxi]

Thank you!
i have a cheapo battery, egoT and an iBrilliant battery (both were given to me). As far as the tanks, they're kind of generic tanks. 2 with no wick and one with a wick. the tanks are all brand new.

Hi! Fellow newbie throwing in my experience on the burnt taste...I actually got a sort of burnt plasticky taste on my new tanks, probably from the primer from what I've read, before I vaped them for a while to "break them in". Not sure if that's what you're experiencing, though.

My other 2 juices taste fine, but the two i listed just don't seem to vape easy

to ecf lunaxi . Glad to have you. If they were new tanks, did you wash them out before use? On mine when I use to use them, I noticed a film on them when I opened them up and always gave mine a Everclear/Vodka soak and rinse to remove it. Is it possible that the flavors you tried, just don't make your taste buds dance? All juices are a bit different if they are made by different vendors. That is probably the number 2 reason I got into DIY and make my own. The number one reason being a life long habit of frugality. Hope some of the suggestions here help. Congrats on your first few weeks and continued success to you.

i didn't really think about any kind of film being inside the tanks, and yes they were brand new. the unicorn killer tastes great without cleaning the tank. The Hawaiian funk and pina colada taste great too, but it takes a lot of effort to get any flavor or vapor. A lot of effort. and these were all made by the same company too.
currently i have:
unicorn killer-vapes great
red clouds-vapes great
vanilla cupcake-tastes burnt
pina colada-takes a lot of effort for flavor and vapor
hawaiian funk-takes a lot of effort for flavor and vapor

i appreciate the input from all of you and i look forward to learning much more and enjoying vaping!

i thought about putting come cooking vanilla extract or coconut extract in them to see if thinning them out would help, but i'm a little apprehensive about it. even though these were cheap tanks, the closest place to get tanks is 711 and it's like $15 for 3 (which isn't bad but i don't know if they're worth it).
Also the njoy black and blueberry is UGH.

pick up a better tank! dont got for the generics. i highly recommend any tank by kanger, simple and easy to use and most likely compatible with your ego-T battery. go for any of the pro series tanks or aerotanks. easy to use and you'll taste your flavors 10xs better than the regular ce4 carto

Welcome lunaxi
I'd advise you not to add extracts to your e-juice!

 

[lunaxi]

i admit a better tank is a good suggestion!
i was just curious about the extract thing since the pg and vg are food grade, i didn't know if it's help or what.
