Chemical Taste?

[Sucrose]

A bit of info before I start. I got my ecig two days ago, it is a joye 510 from Cignot (amazing customer service!). I am using there juices listed as "pg" and "vg". (Not their "basic liquid" or "ECOpure").

I can taste and 'feel' chemicals. It almost burns when I inhale, and the feeling stays for a bit. That feeling has gotten better over the few days I have had my ecig. I am wondering if it could be the new atty? Or the actual juice? Probably a combination of both? I know you can give me a firm answer without actually tasting it, but any input would be appreciated.

I have ordered some juice from Ms. T, and I am so exited for it to get here! I'm hoping it wont have that same feeling/taste.

Thanks!

Did you blow out the primer when you got hte PV?
That sometimes tastes weird.
Other than that it could be either the nicotine (I dont care what anyone says, when i first got my juices from ANYWHERE I could smell and taste the nic very strongly - hardly at all now though), or the VG/PG could be leaving a 'coating' that mixes with spit (eww, yeah I know lol) and tastes weird until you get used to it.
Of course it might jsut be the juice itself isn't something you LIKE

Since it has gotten better I would say that it is just the new attys breaking in. Did you blow out the attys before you used them? On the other hand you could just be getting used to the chemical taste/burn??? So I don't know.

The 510 is renound for giving a good strong throat hit so it may just be you getting used to vaping.

pg based liquid tends to be more acidic feeling than the vg which tends to be sweeter.

Also bear in mind that your taste buds are going to go through a revolution in the next few weeks , you will literally be amazed at the change in flavours you will experience.

No I did not ... I didn't know there was primer, or that you could blow it out? Can you please explain how this works?

Thanks!

That also is quite plausible, as the longer and deeper I hit the ecig, the worse it feels. I have been taking short puffs to reduce the feeling.

I am thinking it is just a combination of multiple things. I hope they will bother me less over time!

When you get a new atty, hold one end (the end that screws in to the battery) against a paper towel and take the cart off and blow through that end, so anything comes out into the paper towel you are holding against the other end. By blowing I mean put you mouth OVER the end the cart goes onto (You can can do it from either end but I prefer this way as you dont taste any primer or juice that might flood out of the battery end) and blow HARD.
All attys are shipped with primer fluid to kep the bridge moist, but it tastes horrid, so make you always always blow it out before you use your atty in future
The put a couple of drops of the juice of your choice on the bridge, fill your cart up (if you use filled carts) and vape away.

Well that probably explains things 8-o I will *always* remember to blow out my attys from now on!

On a good note, it tastes SO much better than it did on the first day!

Short puffs are not good.

Try this....
Take a long slow puff - hold the vapour in your mouth for a second or two and then inhail.

And if that taste can be remotely construed as having tasted like something burnt, you are running your atty way too dry. Wet atty = happy atty. Of course, flooded atty = unhappy atty. There is a learning curve. We all go through it.
