Burnt taste?

[MrTanuki]

Hey all,
I must be doing something wrong with my cartimizers.
They taste great in the beginning, but after maybe 6 or 7 draws on the same carto they're starting to taste burnt. I'm having this happen with brand new carts, in Coconut, Pineapple and Grape, 18mg.
I usually vape menthol carts, and none of them have had this happen.
I've refilled other carts with these flavors, and I don't taste it... I've tried refilling the carts that have that taste, and they're still pretty full it seems.

I'm just so confused about it.

I purchased my kit from a gal on here that couldn't withstand the chemical/smell, etc. She had a lot of 0 nic carts, that's where I experienced what you are talking about. I haven't so much with the ones I ordered, some last longer than others, and some taste better out of the same box than the others. I'm still trying to get a handle on this as well. I have found that I like the PT. I refill sooner than what most do, but I don't want to burn the carts. Generally I'm adding about 10-14 drops, a little afraid to overfill. We all get to learn together, and we learn off of each others questions. Having a specific forum helps with the learning curve.

Same here when i'm hammering a PT hard i refill that cartomizer often..way more often than is likely necessary...ive actually killed cartomizers with overzealous vaping...gotta breathe between drags.

if you (the OP) is burning carts on a battery, something is amiss...if its on a PT, i'd worry that maybe you're hittin them too hard/frequently to survive a PT? Only other possible issue is some incredible bad luck..but since so many flavors were affected, chances are its too much steam in the boiler

Thanks for the replies!
I think you're onto something.
Now that I'm thinking about it, it hasn't happened on my short auto batteries (I do hit the cutoff now that I've been vaping for a little while), but with my manual XL and my passthrough is where it happens. I must be killing these cartos

I hit the PT pretty frequently when it's plugged in and accessible, and when I'm using the XL I tap out the cutoff 2 or 3 times regularly on a drag.

Guess I gotta tone it down :O

Wow - that is some heavy hitting! For heavy vaping, I find it helps to have two going and rotate. Then the cartos don't get cooked!

Good idea. If your gonna heavy vape for awhile just charge up 2 batts and rotate between the 2. I guess lol.

you must be hitting it like a fatty (inhaling through it) instead of like a cig (drag then inhale from mouth) I couldnt tap out the cutoff 3x on a manual batt if i tried on the normal mouth inhale, and I can take a hell of a drag lol

Mr. Tanuki, perhaps it's time to raise the nicotine level up a bit. The higher it is, the less you can chainvape without getting sick. Sounds like you're basically just not getting enough satisfaction, much like Mick Jagger, and thus vaping too hard and too often.

I use 36mg and have noticed no ill effects other than hair growing from my nose, and that may have been going on before. Easy enough to trim.
