Can you describe what a dry atty hit tastes like?

How would you describe the taste of a dry atty hit? I don't mean the wick is on fire dry, but just a hit where you forgot to ensure the wick was primed and took a big ol' hit.

It's similar to breathing in smoke from a grass fire.

Like lickin' an ashtray!

The first thing you will notice is just a flavor shift, and this can be different with different juices so can't really be given a discription. The next hit will be what I call "raggy", no flavor and hot, and if you take another hit it will flat out burn your throat.

Do other atties give different amount of moist to breaths? Like even if the wick is exactly same size, and exactly as wet.

Most defiantly, and is the reason that different people like different atties.
Because most atties have a bridge covering the wick "wet" isn't something you can see, so wet equates more to the taste, and the amount of juice the atty uses.

throat hit is a dry ash hit/taste..only thing i can think of

 

[CommaHolly]

I've found that it burns my throat and is far harsher.

 

[spaceballsrules]

It's like the smell of burnt hair, except on your tongue.

It tastes like camel puke that has been steeped in battery acid for a year.

Seriously, it's kind of like porn. Hard to define but you'll know it when you see it.
