Burning taste?

[KyleK2793]

I have the clearomizer iClear16. Pretty new wick, just changed to a new flavor and sometimes it's fine, sometimes it taste like a burning taste? HELP

How thick is the liquid your using? Are you chain vaping it? It might also be that your using too high of a wattage.

That happens to me when I chain vape it gets too hot. At least that's what I think is happening.

Hi @KyleK2793 and welcome to the forum!
Here a few pointers to avoid burnt taste.

• Prime your coils
  When you fill your tank (or clearomizer) with liquid after putting in a new coil, take a few primer puffs (puff on the tank/clearomizer without hitting the fire button). Then let it sit for about 5 minutes. This will get the wicks and coil nice and wet and ready for vaping. If you don't prime, your wicks aren't yet wet, and you will get that burnt taste.
• Don't draw like a cigarette
  Taking short, hard draws one right after the other quickly depletes the wicks of juice and can lead to a dry hit and burnt taste. Use gentle, long draws (4-5 seconds). This will give you plenty of vapor while keeping the coil and wicks wet. Also give the unit a few seconds between draws to let the wicks bring more liquid to the coil.
• Watch the power
  High power, either watts or volts, vaporizes more liquid than lower power does. The best way to find the "sweet spot" of any atomizer/juice combination is to start with low power and take a few draws. Then bump up the power a little and take a few more draws. Repeat that until the flavor starts to go bad or you start to get a dry hit. Then lower the power a notch.
• Clean or Change your coils
  Coils get gunked up with unvaporized juice. It's just a fact of vaping. You will notice a decrease in vapor production first. Then an off-taste. and finally a burnt taste. When you first get the lower vapor production, it's probably time to either clean your coil head or replace it. There are many ways to clean a coil head. Some folks use dish soap and hot water, others use PGA (Pure Grain Aclcohol) and some use denture cleanser tablets followed by a water rinse.

Hope this helps and Happy Vaping!

I think I used them when I started vaping. No airflow when I used that stuff. If you are quitting smoking I would recommend you research this site as much as you can as you will likely need to upgrade your gear.

And if you move on to tanks never buy one that does not have the ability to build your own coils on it.

I have had one of my iclear 16 clearos have that problem. I swapped it with another coil...same thing. Swapped it with another...same thing again. Finally swapped it with another from a different box and it was fine. I think sometimes you just get duds. To be fair, when the coils are around 1.25 a pop, you sort of have to expect that from time to time.
