Burnt Taste on Ody

[wigglr]

So here comes the most incapable GG vapor *Music*

I am getting dry hits on my Ody. I torched the ceramic and have made a couple of coils and I keep getting the same burnt taste. I am dripping directly onto the wick by taking the mouthpiece off, so I think my wick should be wet enough.

I also tried making a looser coil, and I tried very hard to make sure the wires weren't touching any metal they are not supposed to be touching.

Any ideas what it could be? (Besides the incapable person ... me)

Maybe try a higher resistance? I am no expert, I'm sure there will be someone with an answer along in a minute.

I found my coils take a little while to settle down, once they have reached the blackened state they seem to be a lot smoother. A fresh coil for me is always a bit harsh.

wigglr, can you take a close-up shot of it with the mouthpiece off? That might help someone to help. I'm sure you've covered resistance:voltage, etc.

Is it tasting burned at all resistances? I did a 1.4ohm once that tasted horribly burned, my happy spot seems to be 1.7-1.9 honestly (despite the fact that everyone seems to be shooting for 1.5)

I think wigglr likes 6V pretty much exclusively- is your coil in the 3-4ohm range wig?

It does seem to me the Ody may be more efficient somehow- I love 1.2ohm coils on the iatty, but below 1.7 is just too much for me on the ody

Do you have a multi meter? Shorting can cause burnt taste also over volting (to low ohms for the voltage you are using. Also which wick method are you using? Have you tried any of the methods that use more then one strand at the coils? Finally like many others I find a new coil does taste kinda burnt at first untill it is broken in.

Thanks so much for the replies.

I am using two wicks. One small piece where the coil is and then a regular one. I am replicating what Scott did in his video.

Yesterday I got a burnt taste with a 2.1 ohm coil and today with a 1.7 ohm coil. I've been using a slightly drained AW IMR 18650

How burnt does it taste until it is broken in? I mean I can't even taste any of my juice... Taste only like burnt wick

The Wick from the newer Vision CE2 Cartos is what I'm using and found it is better then the ceramic and XC-116 for some reason. This silica type wick performs better with this system for me, and anywhere from a 2.6-3.2ohm wrap, anyone else using this Vision silica type wick with these ohms ?

If any parts of the resistance wire aren't touching the wick, they will glow red hot and not generate anything but burnt taste. If you take the mouthpiece off and fire it up, does it glow red anywhere?

That's what's always caused a burnt taste for me.

Pretty burnt. It normally goes away after 15 or so hits. When you wrap your wick do you use a pin or something to keep it straight? I use a 18 gauge needle which when I remove it keeps the wire touching the wick but it doesn't choke it either. If you are using it on a gg I would check for shorts with it attached to the connector.

Yeah, something isn't right. No way should a 1.7 or 2.1 taste burnt at 3.7v. Are you getting that resistance on the final build - from the contacts on the Ody base - or just from the wire itself before you wrap it? Also, does it have the same burned taste if you vape right off of the tank (no mouthpiece attached at all)?

 

[wigglr]

I measure both when building and when it is on the Ody. I still haven't used my Ody

Can't deal with that taste

 

[fright88]

What are you trying it on? I ask because if you are using it on your GGTS and your adapter has a short in it it can taste really burnt.

 

[wigglr]

Both directly on the GGTS and on the GGTS w/ adapters

Wig, did you burn it in?

 

[wigglr]

Nope, am I supposed to? I take it that you mean pre-burn the wick with a torch or something, right?
