Burnt taste from Battery

[Payne Vargesko]

Hello,
I have an E-Go C Twist 900 Mah and was wondering if it possible for a battery to give your vape that burnt taste. I think it does because my E-Go C Twist 1100 does not give this taste. Just looking for feedback because I am unsure whether a battery can give off this taste.

Nope. That's user error. J/K.

What atomizer are you using? What resistance? What voltage are you using?

 

[dripdaze]

Yeah, if a battery provides more voltage, it generates more heat. More heat could be burning the liquid. Are both twists set to the same voltage?

I have a 2.4 Ohm coil, and am using the batteries at 4v. The 1100 does not give a bad taste and the 900 does. Its on the same atomizer, its a protank 2 if it matters.

No a battery is only a battery, by itself it isn't going to burn anything. Now your voltage setting can & will if it is set to high.
Just because you have two eGo bats set at the same voltage, doesn't mean that they are delivering the same voltage.

The batteries might not be calibrated the same. You would have to use a volt meter to verify they are both producing the same voltage. If they are producing the same same voltage, I don't know why one would cause a burned taste.

if you have a multi meter check that the settings are truly giving you the stated voltage. if its set to 4v it may be giving you more. If the other non burnt tasting one is set @ 4v it may be giving you less.

something is differing between the two

4V is just fine for 2.4 ohm, so its the coil head i protank2. Is it authentic? When did you buy it and starting using it? Most probably is bad coil( 1 wrap is too large and doesnt provide contact to silica). I also recently got 1.5 and 1.8 ohm bad authentic coils in kangertech box. Kanger quality went doown... you can try to recoil or buy from different vendor from old stock i guess. Or maybe non authentic ones. Or get rba/rda&stuff

See, protank coil is made out of several wraps (ussualy 5-8) of kanthal wire and if the wraps doesnt have good contact to silica, the wire starts to glow when fired and you get burnt taste. Wire should NEVER glow when the heating head ( coil+cotton/silica) is good and saturated with juice.

Could just be a battery going bad and running hot. I've seen it happen. Particularly on those twists, sometimes the wheel goes bad, and the battery is kicking as hot as it can, no matter how you twist it. Maybe try to get a higher Ohm coil and try it on the "hot" battery. That's my guess, I just saw this same situation the other day with an Ego Twist.

I just replaced the wick on my PT2 and after about 3 nice puffs it started tasting crappy and metallic. I did some research online and found that taking the little clearish rubber topper on the wick and flipping it upside down might help. Tried that and it worked like a charm. Even seems like my flavor is a bit stronger and better. I am going to do that to all my Kanger wicks I bought at the same time I think.

If voltage is the same (I'm leaning towards the thinking that it's not. One could be old or not properly calibrated) the only other thing that would cause that is if one of your batteries was blocking or restricting the air holes of your tank (the 1 that's tasting burnt).

Cheers,
Steve

Ok. It cant be the atomizer, as i just put a new one in today to double check. Used it since ive left my computer with 1100 battery, and not any bad vapes at all. My battery literaly just died 5 minutes ago, so plugged that one in and put on the 900, same voltage. First hit had the nasty burnt taste.

 

[Schwiggiddy]

I really think the "burnt" one is no longer a VV, but is instead stuck on the highest voltage. Just because the wheel is turning doesn't mean it's working properly. Turn it down to 3.3V. It should barely even vape at that voltage. If you still get burnt, I can almost promise you the battery wheel is broken and you now have a non-variable battery that pushes close to 4.8V. Not gonna last too long anymore, but you should get better results if you get a higher ohm coil for use with it.

 

[rawr]

lol sry but that just funny

@Payne Vargesko

Just try another atomizer on your battery and you will see that the battery is just fine... Or not...

Didnt hear yet that the twist wheel broke but i had several issues with new kanger heads and others here on ecf also report about burnt taste from protank heads...

I really should start to read...

Ya something is up with your battery... it is not giving the voltage it says it is... or vs verse.... Plan and simple.
Good luck hope you can just turn it down and to get it right.
