from my understanding its the residue left by the burnt liquid..those that did not escape to the top of the tank via the Mesh it will just flow back into the tank and will turn the liquid dark in colour..there will be a slight funky smell depending on liquid,brand ,pv+vg ..but does not affect the taste maybe the smell probably..unless if its been in the tank for more than a week =P..longest myself is 4 days running direct than clean the tank..if possible ill clean the tanks once a day =)) :vapor: oh yeah..i cannot confirm if it harms but i do not think so.

Yeah, it is the unvaporized fluid going back into the supply. It is safe as far as I know (hasn't killed me yet!), but it will get a funky taste over time. I used to just top off over and over again, but eventually it would get too funky tasting to deal with. I would then empty it into a bottle and save it for when I am sick and can't taste anything (yeah, I hate to waste)!

I mostly vape banana cream and irish cream, yeah. Rarely I change around, but dont bother to clean between juices. Its really not necessary.

Right..its the milky type vape feel..would you try it on some berries like ? that has a slight twang on that sweet side that later on burns and smells weird after dry burn..or is it just me =P

I dont dry burn between juices either. Taste changes with juice after a short while. If I do dry burn, well then, its not much of a hassle to wash everything quickly under a tap water. Dry burn without washing = ewww :D

that was that i was thinking..then i must have screwed up my cleaning methods up..ahahahahaha

For me, the worst funky burnt taste is with anything that has a caramel aspect to it. I haven't went through enough fruit juices to say what that burnt taste is like, but I wouldn't think it good!

And sometimes it does add to the flavor, but it only seems to be a short time til it becomes too much. I was vaping a tank of Candy Corn Cookie last night, and the burnt taste made it soo good. Now, a few draws in today, and it is starting to taste nasty!

Ive always pondered about the caramel flavour..but i have yet to really give them a full whack..but from my understanding caramel..would smell great even if its burnt =P..but doesnt leave the sweet burning smell like how fruity juices does..but i will definitely be grabbing flavours such as caramel popcorn, pralines and creame..i could live with the vape taste..but still have to swap in between juices as i was a heavy smoker.. =(..hence the reason that i try to clean my tanks as frequent as possible trying to kill of the residue and trying to vape as fresh as possible..
