I just can't believe that ALL THREE of the attys I have are now tasting burnt. I don't understand how this can happen. One was only used for a day or 2 until I got my LR atty and had been sitting ever since.

EDIT: After I blew it out real well this morning again I put a clear tank on my tawa atty just to see if it was wicking. I even used the Ovale liquid to make sure it wasn't some fluke with the liquid I was using. Did a primer puff, then took a couple hits but didn't inhale. The little bubbles are coming up so it is wicking just fine. I guess its just my luck :facepalm:

Yeah, the eGo-T's are neat, but you just can't seem to get away from that burnt taste.

For me, heaven is an eGo battery with a LR Cisco atty on it, and a drip tip.

LR cisco is the way to go. I have my Inferno T-atty working fine tho. But only juice I put in there is unflavored. Only use it when I drive until I get too much road rage then I whip out my Inferno with the LR cisco. Cuz by then I don't care anymore. Good thing I drive a pos cavalier. I would probably get my first speeding ticket if I had bought a faster car.
 
I just got my ego-t LR last night, and by about noon today I was getting a burnt taste, by evening I couldn't stand it anymore. Up till now I have had no problem with the ego-t standard atty's, and love the system. So I took it apart to look at the wick, it seemed to be very low to the coil and had black marks on it. Will you get a burnt taste if the wick is too low?

I found a solution for the burning taste and the reason it happens.

I dont use ego-T but 510-T its the same system..

basically what happens if you power up the PV and the wick is dry you will burn it, one time is enough.
from that point it will taste burned, so what you do to fix is simple, you pull out that middle pin with the wick inside (its the HARD part especially on 510-T becuase its so small, takes me about 30 minutes.
After you pulled it out you'll see black spots on the wick, wash it gently and remove the burned spots by rubbing them with fingernails.

Do not fill the tank 100% full, leave 1/8-1/7 ..

When you connect the tank with the atyy, stick a toothpick in the tank hole you'll see some juice leaking out and its good, then connect the atty. (If you wont do it sometimes it can form an air bubble above the hole and the it wont wick then)
before you vape on it, pay attention that air bubble raised up to the top, then its safe

I have clearomizers ver 4 and 5, dual coils and 510-T IMO the tanks have betetr flavor, for some reason if I vape from cleromizers i get same taste from all juice and almost zero flavor, only when i use brand new clero it vapes normal but on second refill i get no flavor

I only get a burnt taste on my inferno-T when the e-liquid in the tank is more than a day old or less than 1/8 empty (note: I keep my e-liquid in the fridge, not sure if this makes a difference?). My only problem with it is that the 8mg strength e-liquid I use is un-vapeable in the tank... it makes me cough and sets off my gag reflex. I have to add 0mg strength e-liquid to the tank for me to be able to vape. I don't understand why.... I'll try this mod and see if it helps.

In my opinion the Inferno-T is the Cadillac of tank systems one of the best out there. I have an Inferno-T kit and two EGO-T kits and there is no comparison. The atomizers from Volcano are so much better I've been using the same three with no burnt taste since I bought the kit 2 months ago they wick 10 times better. On the flip side I've purchased 4 extras for the EGO-T because they are so inconsistent, clog and have random burnt taste due to wicking issues. The Inferno-T also tastes a lot better with more flavor coming through from the liquid. The EGO-T always has a little bit of a plastic taste. To me anyway.
