Burnt Taste

[deeanne59]

Hello everyone. I am using a 510, and have been using it for about 2 weeks. I refilled a few carts with polyfil, and filled one with my Vanilla 24mg e-juice. I had already blew out my atty after leaving it upside down to drain overnight. The first draw was terrible, with a burnt taste. I checked the atty again for overfill....the cartridge wasn't overfilled- so I couldn't figure out what the problem was.

I then proceeded to remove my refill cart, and tried again with a brand new cart and a different atty.....same burnt taste! I know it isn't my e-liquid, because I have been vaping on this same bottle for a while. Could it be residue from the polyfill on the atty? If so, how do I get rid of it? I also know it couldn't be primer, because I have been using these attys for a while.

Sounds like you need to re-prime the atty.

Put a couple drops of juice in the atty, let it sit for 5-10 mins and then put a couple more drops in and let those soak in for a couple of minutes.

Once that's done, you should be good to go.

Thanx Terraphon, I'll try that and see if it gets rid of that horrible taste!

Terraphon, it still tastes like burnt vanilla. Could it be my e-liquid? I am down to the bottom of this bottle....I filled a new 901 cart and tried it in my 901 with the same burnt taste. I have a brand new bottle, I might try that, but if I still have the taste...I don't know what else to do- because I don't think it could be ALL my attys!

Everything was tasting fine until this evening, when my bottle started getting low- then it started getting ugly.

I suppose it COULD be the juice.

I've had that same taste before and always overcame it by making sure the atty was nicely primed.

If the same juice tastes crap in multiple atty's...well...

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and is constantly seen in the company of ducks...It just MAY be a duck

Gonna try one more thing....new atty, new cart, and new bottle of juice- if it is STILL there, it will be my tastebuds

It has taken a few puffs to clear the primer and taste my e-juice, but no burnt taste...this time, though- with the new bottle, I shook it up first. I noticed with the last bottle...the taste was sweet vanilla until I got low in the bottle, then I had more of a burnt, straight nic flavor with no sweet. This new bottle isn't as sweet tasting as the other one...even though I can lightly taste the vanilla.

I may have to try juice from another vendor.

Switched to a cart with a tea bag, and all is well again. Sweet taste without the burn taste. My other attys may have burnt residue on them from filler and polyfill.....I don't know.

I had the same prob, and tried everything to get rid of the taste, steam, boiled, peroxide, none pf which worked.. I ended up buying a new atty, and its much better, but still doesnt taste as good as my other e-cigs... I think the 510 burns much hotter than other ecigs
