First time with clearomizer, taste BADLY burnt!!

[bogeyjim]

So i picked up 2 of the single coil clearos @1.5ohm on RMV.

I loaded one up just now out of the box, waited a half hour and puffed. Just a god awful nasty burnt taste.

What am i doing wrong??

I cannot get it to go away

It's probably the primer, the first (supposedly) dozen puffs can taste very burnt. Personally, I found the entire first fill tasted terrible.

Post that, I started pre-cleaning the cleartomizers before use. Fill with water, let soak, shake well, draw water out. Repeat. About ten times...! If you have the type that has to be filled upside-down, fill it rightside-up and let the water run through. Repeat.

i was told clearos can get away with less voltage as your not having to heat the the entire deliver system, just the juice. in other words, the heat is more effective.

 

[bogeyjim]

Morpheus, its been about 60 puffs, and still man, tastes like a dry atty, its disgusting!!

I hope this gets better.

Draw is SUPER tight too

Damn i think i just blew 10 bucks (i bought 2 of them)

 

[Kemosabe]

what voltage are you using?

 

[bogeyjim]

using the ego twist, got it under 4v, about 3.7

 

[bogeyjim]

Nothing huh?

I've been washing all my new coil/wicks with everclear in a mason jar with lid on and swirled a few times then let sit for a few hours then letting them dry overnight. I haven't had a funky first vape yet.

You may have charred the primer to the wick by starting that high. I usually start a new coil at the lowest setting my device will go, take a fiew puffs, go up .2v take a few more etc. until I'm up to the running voltage. That way if the coil isn't fully wet you find out at a low voltage.

Oh yeah, you might have a hotspot on the coil. I don't know if you can open it up and look at the coil but the coils should be evenly spaced. If they are not take a needle and move them around till they are evenly spaced. You may need a magnifying lens 8x or more works well.

Jim,

Jim here ...;-)~ I am new also. Have a twist and use clearos. I know people use LRs below 2.0ohm with twists but many say not to use LRs. below 2.0 with the twists. Depending on the liquid, you may be burning it right away and stoping the wicking process. I would start at 3.2 volts. Take some small puffs without inhaling to get the wicking started. If you have already burt the coils, you may have to stop, clean them with the water method and dry burn off the burnt on juice then start over. There are lots of youtube vids on cleaning clearos.. its easy. Not sure if that is the answer but my 2 cents... ;-)

I'm not sure what type of clearo you are using, but I do this to all my clearos.....link.
There is some good info in that thread and many others in the clearo section that address many known issues with different type of clearos.

i dont know whats going on guys.

This is the 1.5 single coil clearo from smoktek.

Tastes like complete ....... ANY kind of help is appreciated!

 

[Herb396]

Never tasted "complete ..." (or any other kind),,but I'm guessing it's not good.

I use originial CE4 Vision Clearomizers and before use I clean several times with very hot water, let air dry for the day with cap off, then dry burn. Never had any taste issues. I mostly use an Ice/Ice menthol and Fire/Ice juices.

Have you tried vaping them at lower temps? My T2 are burning so high I don't need to put them over 3.2v

I had a problem similar to this with the Redux clearo. Got a really hot draw, burned the tip of my tongue. I discovered that the juice flow was being restricted where the wick entered the head, I sliced a sliver of the rubber head cap off to allow more flow and they then worked fine.

Ya know what, that's the name of the most recent clearo's I got.
the REDUX, ok that's the problem i'm having burning taste even at the lower volts, on any of my v.v's

the rubber head cap slides over the slit in the attaching part (??) so it looks like the space that could have extra juice get in is mostly covered.

how did you cut the rubber

slit down the sides so it will line up with the split in the head part or just shorten it?

thanks for any help with this
