Bitter taste

[bluesuede]

I'm getting a very bitter, almost burning taste, from some of my 510 atties. Have noticed this on a few 801s too. It's really caca! This is totally different from plastic burnt taste from a too dry atty we're all to familiar with from our newbie days. I'm not burning the atties or letting them dry out, ever. I don't let the carts get too old either before I wash 'em out. Happens even with a fresh new cart after a few drags.

Could it be buildup of old juice on the bridge that gets putrid over time? Cos posted cleaning with denture cleaning tablets works well so I have 5-6 of 'em soaking now to see if that clears it up.

I'm getting the same thing with my latest batch of atty's. I only drip and if I keep them really wet I don't get it. Normally I use 2 drops per use but now I'm using 3 to 4 at a time.

 

[slumgunner]

mabe its from the juice, because nic juice is very bitter

 

[Technobob]

I get the same affect regardless of juice manufacture or nicotine strength

 

[bluesuede]

Nah, not the juice. Been using the same stuff for months and months. This only started recently.

I don't know what is causing this

I keep my attys wet, and I know TB does, and I know Blu is no newbie so she does too --

I have had this -- hot taste, not burning - but hot vape from an older atty

and after cleaning by soaking overnight , then dry burn -
it cleared up,

but other than that - cleaning I mean,

I can't think what else to do-


any ideas here guys ---

 

[bluesuede]

It must be caca from old juice on the bridge. 510 runs hot so that could be it. I'll let you know after my atties dry out.

I think this could be right,

do let us know your findings - thanks Blu

I put the video for the dry burn cleaning method in the tips and tricks for any who are interested.

Have you tried taking out the thread-like material out that lies just under the bridge in the atty? I think sometimes the threads cake up and create a harder draw and a burnt taste the threads will sometimes burn on the atties. I know you're not new at vaping and probably know these things already. There's a video of how to do it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap1c4EwKRAY&feature=related

yes, I have seen and read of this,

I have not done it - does it really make a difference


I want to know -- hahahah

I have and it couldn't see a difference really.. But I never get burnt tasting attys for some reason either. lol

 

[Selena]

Yes, this really works, it will sometimes even restore dead attys.I hope it gets rid of the burn taste for bluesuede. Good luck and let us know.

 

[bluesuede]

I think they're dry now so gonna go try one.

to be continued....

 

[bluesuede]

Aha... so that's the reason for removing the wick! I looked inside all of them with a halogen flashlight (very bright) and a magnifying glass and couldn't see any burnt stuff anywhere and there was hardly any debris in the water. I soaked them in hot water with a denture cleaning tablet and then a hot rinse...

Heck my 510's are not that old! I still have all my 801 from last year. Hadn't lost an atty until the 510... 2 at last count.

P.S. The water did get a little cloudy and dirty though but no bits and pieces of black stuff. I'm hoping that was the old juice that disolved..

 

[bluesuede]

Well whadja know! No bitter taste so far so must have been old cooked juice stuck on the bridge. Lost an atty though. RIP

 

[Di]

well done Blu

yes, must be old juice,

someone said they took out an old atty and it tasted like
poooooooooooooooooooooooo

so maybe the juice goes sour after a while maybe ????

but yes it does build up on the coil,
thats why we clean em -

glad your taste is better now -


* Lost an atty though. RIP *

aaaaaaaw --
