Clearomizers have a chemical taste.

Hello everyone! keep on vaping!

I recently bought clearomizers(Royal Smokers), 510 large, 2.6-2.8 ohm, that come in pack of fives. The clearomizers are inside a spaceage looking plastic that is sealed. The problem I have is that when take it out of the packet and fill it and start vaping it has a chemical taste. I can see tiny whiny droplets inside the clearo also. When I remove all the rubbers I can smell the chemical aroma. I left one open over night and the chemical aroma is gone. What I´m concerned is what is this chemical?

The CHEMICAL COULD BE DANGEROUS as I don´t know what it is. Maybe it is a sterilizing agent added to them in the end or at some other point of the process.

Maybe the chemical is mostly evaporated when left opened over night, but I still would like to know if someone has any ideas of its nature and HOW TO WASH THE CLEAROMIZER TO RID ID CLEAN.

This kind of issues should be addressed to help the cause of e-cigarettes as they are volatile in media + of course the products should be safe.

I have used these for awhile but do not detect an unusual chem taste or smell. Maybe you are just getting the "primer taste" that many have refered to. It would be nice to know vaping is 100% safe, but since we know smoking is 100% dangerous I am happy to take my chances....

When I used clearomizers, I remember seeing a video when someone pre-scorched the wick and coils using a propane torch for that same reason. I have also seen people scorch the ceramic cups in their Odysseus mods. Perhaps it's something in the ceramic?

I never felt I had to.

The only taste I've noticed in the recent clearomizers that seems off to me is a rubber taste that comes from the newer black rubber mouthpieces and o-rings they're using. If you have access to some of the older rubber white mouthpieces (or a drip-tip) try switching them out and see if it helps.

You have to rinse and dry burn them when new to get rid of primer and crap in them. There's definitely something there when they are new, even though vendors and the manufacturer swear otherwise.

When dry burning new ones you'll see the wick turns black for a short period of time then goes back to white. There's clearly something being burned off at this point. Even the 'pre burned' ones did this, so they aren't pre burned or something is added beyond that.

So just remove inner plugs, rinse a couple times, burn it till dry and wick goes black, then white. That will get rid of the taste.
