Burnt taste?

[caubry1989]

I got a smoktech carto tank friday and im having some trouble with it. When I got it the lady behind the counter primed it and it was fine. Now I am occasionally getting a burnt taste. It doesn't happen all the time. I'll get the burnt taste then an hour or so later it will be back to normal flavor. Any idea what could be causing it?

Put a new carto in and see if getting same results, if so then tinker with airflow and voltage.

I don't have a vv battery just a standard ego. Ill try a new carto with my other flavor as I don't have enough of the current flavor to reprime and fill

Burnt taste comes from too much voltage or not enough juice getting to the coil.

Since you can't change voltage you need to look at air flow. Reducing the airflow (restricting the holes in the 510 connector). By restricting the air flow you create more vacuum in your tank, more vacuum draws more juice in to your carto and will eliminate burnt hits.

I love my Smoke DCT Carto. I don't use the dual coil cartos, I replaced them with single coil cartos from IkenVape. I like the fusion series.

If you don't want to add an airflow controller to your set up then you will need to occasionally take a few long pulls on your drip tip without hitting the fire button, this will help keep the cargo full of juice.

If you are using the dual coil cartos you might want to try replacing them with single coil. Duals have the second coil much higher in the carto meaning you need to really makes sure the carto stays wet.

try taking inhales on it without hitting the button henceforth sucking more juice into the carto

Here is the airflow controller I use with my Smok DCT Tank Airflow Controller

The tank isn't the DCT. I don't remember the model right off but it is the locking base and I'm not sure if I can get single coils cartos or not but I will definitely look into it as well as the air flow control. I put a new carto in and it is doing better. I'll be sure to hit it without pressing the button a few times throughout the day. I can say that the cheap cherry flavor I got at the local smoke shop does not taste as good in the tank as I thought it did in the clearo.

What pg/vg ratio? How many holes? I use 20/80 with 3 holes. I've tried it with 2 holes and got burnt hits, even with doing primer puffs.

My smok cartos do this from time to time. I close off the holes on the prover ring and give it a good pull. I tend to vape with one hole covered anyway to keep it from happening.
