Burnt Taste...help!

[runeswords]

After using a KR808 with cartomizers for a while, I wanted something with more power. I never had a problem with the cartomizers (I bought some from V4L and V2Cigs).

So, I went and bought the 3.7v E-power from Hoosier. I love the battery life, and the device itself is great. From madvapes, I bought some Boge 2.0 LR cartomizers and am having nothing but problems. I am using 70/30 juice, putting probably 30 drops in (I put drops in until the filler looks like gel after sitting a while). They work great, but out of nowhere they get an intense burnt taste and no matter what I do to clean it, etc I can't get the burnt taste out.

With my KR808, I would get an advanced warning of reduced vapor, etc to let me know when to refill. With these, it's just a quick burnt taste out of nowhere.

Am I doing something wrong or should I just try normal resistance cartomizers so that the heat isn't as intense (and thus I might get more advanced warning)?

LR cartomizers (~1.8-2.0Ω) on a 3.7v battery will produce much hotter vape than your kr808 (I assume CoolCarts at 3.1Ω) and use up juice at a faster rate.

You need to top them off more often, before you get any indication of burnt taste, or you can try higher resistance Boge cartos; I like 2.5Ω (Premium Platinum 510 cartos from IkenVape) or standard (3.0Ω) Boge.

Good luck!

Take a peek down into the carto. You should see it going dry before the burnt taste hits ya. And thermometer shake the heck out of it when you fill the first time (with a condom on the bottom so you don't fling juice everywhere). Good luck.

You need to keep them damp, especially with LR cartos

As soon as the vapor seems a bit light or a bit dry or the tiniest bit funny tasting, or the carto starts feeling warmer than usual, take it off, pop the cap (or I use a plastic or delrin drip tip as a mouthpiece - easier to remove) and add some juice.

Also - I recommend you try 80pg/20vg instead - the move through the stuffing a bit better and definitely keeps my carto working well over more continued usage.

Dormouse hit the nail square on the head. A damp carto is a happy carto.
