Atomizers/cartomizers with burnt taste

[msmarti58]

Every time I order a 5 pack of either cartomizers or atomizers, there is always one or two that I can't get to work, why is this? They taste burnt and this noxious smoke comes from them, is there any way to get them to work? I've tried soaking them, letting them sit overnight, etc. but no go.

Thanks.

I have the same thing happen to me. I haven't found a way to use the bad-tasting ones. It's very annoying to fill a new cart, then get that yucky, yucky taste. All that wasted juice, not to mention the dud cartomizer.

I feel ya .. As far as cartomizers go this seems to be the norm to have a few crap cartos in a pack ever so often.

What voltage/ohm combination are you using?

When I break out a new carto I fill it and then set it aside for 5-10 minutes so the juice completely soaks it. Then when I pick it up again to use it I can usually get an additional 3-4 drops in it before using. This is how I finally learned to use cartos to avoid the burnt taste. Also, as soon as you get an off taste or no taste it is time to refill the carto.

I'm using a boge 2.0 ohm on an eGo battery. I've tried letting them set a while, but it doesn't seem to help. With some cartomizers, just the first draw or two tastes bad, then it's fine. I wonder if there is some kind of primer inside that could be causing the problem, either too much or not enough. Oh well, most of the time they are great.

I do a Brief Dry Burn on ALL Filler-Less Cartomizers and Atty's BEFORE filling.

There can be Something on the wick but Why People refer to it as "Primer" Fluid is beyond me. Machine Oil, Seal Lube or as I like to call it "Mystery Oil". Those I can go with.

But "Primer" Fluid?

"Primer" Fluid was a term that OEM's coined that was supposed to make some sense as to why there was a Contaminate on the Wick that Shouldn't Be There in The First Place.

It's a crapshoot my man...We need to self regulate and COMPLAIN to the VENDOR(s)
