E2 Cartos are tasting like burnt plastic.

[Jim K.]

Can't seem to figure out why my E2 ceramic cartos keep giving me a burnt plastic taste.

Filled both holes inside with .4ml of PG juice, after dry burning for about 10 secs to be safe. There isn't suposed to be any primer or glue, so dry burning wasent really nessesary. I'm pretty sure I filled them correctly, and I get lots of vapor, just it all has a strange plastic taste to it.

I'm Using a Joye eGo 510 batt.

I'm sorry if this has been covered in on eo f the other threads, I've searched through them, but can't seem to figure out whats wrong.

Alright, I think I'm just not giving it time to wick. (I'm a chain vaper) I've just started dripping a drop right down the center when it start tasting burnt, and I'm golden. Still a wierd flavor addaed to the vape, but not a burnt taste anymore.
I know that the older revisions don't do well with higher voltage, so that may have something to do with it.

Forgive my noobishness lol ^_^

i was wondering the same thing. i'm not overly impressed with e2s at this point.

 

[Jim K.]

I'm still getting a kind of "plastic" taste to the vapor. I'm guessing it's just the carto. I've been mainly dripping, but I use the cartos if I'm in the car, so I guess it's not a big deal. The taste is bugging me though, excellent vapor/ throat hit though.

if you bought them in the U.S. it's possible that they're not the real r4

it's also possible that the inner ring (the cup lid) is pinching the wick, regardless of which R version you have



(one of my r4 cartos even had some light-green junk on the lower part of the wick...so I have no idea when the r4 will be a real r4, and most importanly: consistenly)

keeping the mouthpiece pointed down between vapes makes a big difference.

i also find the r4 has a nasty burnt taste. i got mine straight from china so its the real deal. i think i may go back to cartomizers with filler.

I dont think you have the Final R4's.

Try soaking them in hot water for 15 minutes (remove all three rings first), then flush them out with warm water. Have a smell of the carto, soak them again if they still smell.

Also try a lower voltage battery. Too much voltage can easily overcook the juice.

i ordered them from royal smokers and im sure they are the v4. got them today. but i will try what you said. i would hate to waste 100 of them thanks also i have use them on the egos and regular 510s

The ohm rating on these makes a huge difference in how your juice tastes. A 2.6 Ω E2 at 3.7v is way too harsh for me, but at 2.8v it's perfect. It's good that they offer several different ohm varieties to choose from, but it means that everyone is going to have to experiment a little to find what they like. In the meantime a 2.8-3 Ω carto should be good starting point for anyone using an eGo or standard 510 battery.

i agree i vape my xl 2.5 ohms at around 3.1v anythign above that gets a little burnt i vape my 3.0ohms at 3.9v seems to b the best spot

Geez I hope so. Just ordered 100 510XL's (mixed colors) and some vGos (shipped on Friday). Hopefully in a week I'll be part of the 'r4' crowd. I can then use my last few r3.5's for bottle mods. Man those suckers run hot.

Okay. I'm not sure what I'm missing, but I can't see how to order from Royalsmokers. I don't see any "order" link. There site is so "busy", am I just overlooking it?

Do they accept paypal?

Help!

thx

The shop is at e-liquid.cn

On the Royal site there is a link hidden I think about 2/3 the way down the page on the right, but just go to the above address.

 

[Jason_in_nc]

Much appreciated. Thanks!

If you ordered 100 of them, they should definitely be R4 "Final". Do the inner rings have the two notches? Maybe you are tasting the rubber.

I dont taste a plastic taste at all after soaking them in hot water.
Even if they have no primer or glue, they should still be washed to remove any leftover garbage during manufacturing. I'm pretty sure RS dont wash them.

WOW...this has to be my problem. I switched from Green Smokes to the eGo USB PT (I have a regular Riva kit on order from Liberty Flights). I get a very inconsistent vaping experience with the 2.5 ohms I got from vaperite.com when I ordered everything and it has cost me so much time and frustration trying to track down the problem. I think Todd thinks I am crazy but he drips exclusively and he doesn't follow the forum closely so I don't know if he can appreciate what's been up with these.

badkolo told me it appears I got something you guys have nicknamed the 'bastomizer' as my fill ring is NOT a RING but some sort of silcone sealing around the cup, you can't remove that 'ring'. I was goign to try some mods, etc., but I couldn't do a thing because of that seal.

Can anyone tell me about the 'bastomizer'? It has to have been bad to have gotten that nickname. It was sent to me as an E2 R4 but I would imagine it isn't a true R4 vaperite sent me.

 

[K24A3]

You should be able to remove that inner ring/seal, just pop it out using a thin screwdriver.

Once you take it out, take a photo of it and attach it to your post.

Or if you definitely cant take it out, take a photo of the ring/seal.

Same here... not sure how to describe the taste... but it tastes like something. I can't tell what flavor I'm vaping with these (tried three, one each of peanut butter cup, french toast, and coffee), they all taste exactly the same, might a slight hint of their flavor when it's 100% full.

arjay how did you order mixed colors? I don't see that option on their website.
