Hello my name is Sarah I have made several post on here and gotten tons of great advice. I order my first unit epower 18650 on the side I got 2 diff colored attys. They both get fire hot as soon as you push button to hot to touch, they glow a fierce orange as soon as hit button and have a terrible burnt wire kinda smell and taste. This scares me am I right to be concerned or should they be that way? This after expelling primer fluid. The 2 attys that came in kit work fine nothing like the two. What should I think and do? This is my first vaping so not sure what to think except that the two that came with dont do all that so maybe I should be worried.

It sounds to me like both of those attys are running dry, have you tried directly dripping a few drops of juice on them and trying to run them? If you have been running them dry there is a good chance you have burned the filler material and that burnt taste will be there for good. The only way to resolve the burnt taste if the wick got burned is to de bridge the atty and then its only good for direct dripping.

I would contact whoever you purchased them from and explain the situation to them. If you purchased your stuff from one of the vendors on this forum then I'm sure you wouldn't have any trouble explaining that you believe they were DOA and get them replaced. Most companies are pretty good with that I find. I have only had to send back 1 or 2 and never had a problem getting a replacement. But definitely let them know and see what they say. Good luck!
