EmpireMods - Dream Stainless Steel Rebuildable Atomizer

[Neunerball]

I received this atomizer (1.8 - 2.0 Ohm) today. I filled it with a Vanilla sample. However, even after puffing for 20 times, it still tastes like s....! I tried different voltages between 3.0 and 3.7. I filled a carto with the same flavor for comparison and I can taste the flavor (although I don't like the flavor itself).

What is it that I'm doing wrong here, in order to get the proper flavor? Or is it the wrong e juice (60/40) for this atty?

Welcome , and first off , you say you filled it ?? It's a dripping atty . Maybe 8 to 10 drops , max . secondly , you don't mention what device your using it on . What are your voltage limitations ??? If you can go a bit higher , it might taste better , and provide more vapor . But even with that , it may still taste like crap , to you . Someone else might like it , when you hate it . Taste is very subjective , with most people . My wife seems to like most of the juices , I make DIY , but that is probably rare , or she's too polite , to say anything .

dose it taste like machine oil? some of my Chinese rebuildables had to have a good cleaning when I first got them

 

[Neunerball]

The device is a Apollo eGo-vv (3.0 - 6.0 V).

I'm getting a more metal, machine oil flavor, rather than ANY flavor of the liquid. I actually used dish washing detergent twice, rinsing in real well for several times.

I think, I'll let it soak in water with dish washing detergent over night and rinse it well after that.

KABONK,
What did you do for cleaning?

It sounds like coil issue to me, not a "soaking may fix it" issue... Let us know how it turns out tomorrow though.

 

[Euphonious Nonsense]

OK i see you already washed it, probably is a coil issue, pictures of your coil?

 

[Euphonious Nonsense]

After looking at a picture of this atty, it could be that once you put the top cap on it is pushing your coil into contact with another metal surface.

Did u get the tank or the dripper? Did u use the coil/wick that came with it?
I have the dripper, and I didn't use the coil/wick that came with it, have had no issues with flavor at all, as long as the coil is set up proper.

This the picture as shown on empire mods' website

I'll check tomorrow, if the coil is touching any other metal. (It's like trying to find vibration problems on my RC helicopters )

I got the atty as shown in my previous post. And, yes, I'm using the coil/wick that came with it. I'm too new to this, in order to do my own coils and wicks. However, I'm picking up things real quick, just like fixing my RC helicopters. Well, I have to correct myself. The only thing I haven't picked up that quick, is flying those helicopters. Obviously

Dude the RC heli analogy is good, I fly as well and that is indeed what it reminds me of too!

Yeah, just another hobby, that also requires some skills

What do you fly? I have a Nano, 130x and a 450 3D. Hopefully saving some money for a T-Rex 450 Pro without gyro, since I'm thinking of the AR7200BX as receiver/gyro. BTW, are you on www.helifreaks.com? I'm using the same User Id.

Blade mCX and mCX2, found them to be pretty hardto break but enjoyable and also fairly cheap when you do. XD

 

[Neunerball]

Well, another try and it still tastes funny. Guess, I'll have to learn how to get a picture in here, in order to show the coil.

 

[Neunerball]

Decided to just trash that POS. Got my a7 mini today... Works real good... None of that nasty machine oil taste! Yes, had to break it in. Puffed it for 8 times, all good!

My Terminator tasted like crap when I first got it. Machining oil taste. I flamed the steel parts on a Kanthal wire over the gas flame on my stove. Just don't get the stainless steel too hot or it will discolor.

After looking at a picture of this atty, it could be that once you put the top cap on it is pushing your coil into contact with another metal surface.

That could be a reason for it. When I took it disassembled it, I took a look at where the coil was situated. It was touching the bottom metal part. I think that's a design flaw of this device. I pulled the coil up a bit and gave it another try as mentioned previously. However, it still tasted funny.
I like the A7 mini a lot. It doesn't have that design flaw.

That taste is usually a coil/wicking issue as for the vanilla if its dekang like I have you may never like it. If you want vanilla avoid dekang and get vanilla cupcake or vanilla custard most companies that make those flavors taste great
