Bad Taste on Mini Nova - help?

[zomgname]

Hi all. I recently received a mini vivi nova, and there is a strange, nauseating taste when I use it. It is not burning, it is something else? I assume it's something coated on the wick, because I can smell the same flavor I'm tasting on the wicks I haven't used yet. How do I get rid of this taste, or can I? It's really awful. I can taste my juice in the background, and sometimes I get good hits, but 90% of the time there's this strange chemical flavor.

I have used it a lot and even let the juice sit for days in the tank to see if that would make the flavor go away..

I think you are going to have to throw out the juice you have in there. Just dump it. If you pour it back into your juice bottle you risk the chance of giving the bad flavor to your whole bottle. Take the Viva apart and rinse each part really well under really hot running water. Be sure to remove the little rubber cap that is covering the coil and wick. Once rinsed, dry it with a paper towel. Being careful, just dab at the coil and wick to absorb the water from them. Replace the rubber cap and re-assemble the unit. Hope this helps. and happy vaping.
