flavor muted and its not vapers fatigue

[wilson72]

I am using a smok ego cloud sub ohm kit and flavor was awesome when i first got it but after about 2 or 3 weeks the flavor has been muted, i have changed coil once every week or two and it makes no difference, i thought it was vapers fatigue but friends who tried it when i first got it have tried it again and about 3 of them say the same thing. the only thing i can think it might be is that i was using mostly 0nic as i was waiting for nicotine base to arrive but even juice that was premade with nicotine has diminished in flavor so im not sure what it could be. any ideas? cheers

some juices lose flavor as they age...

 

[wilson72]

over how long? most of the juice is only about a month maybe 6 weeks old but that makes sense as some off the newer flavours a bit better but still not as good as the used to be, thanks for the reply

Are you dry burning your coils occasionally?

 

[wilson72]

they are occ so just been rinsing them with water then re priming through the wick holes its normally makes the flavour better for the next tank i run through but then it just goes back but i cant clean it every time i fill up as a tank only lasts about an hour , just had to replace one because i tried to clean it with a little pipe cleaner and it moved the coil and made a hot spot so will see if a brand new coil with fresh juie makes a difference

From what I understand the coil is actually a much bigger culprit than the wicks for flavor muddling over time. I think you should definitely have a go at dry burning the next time you're re-wicking. Like, pull the wick out, rinse, dry burn, rinse again to get rid of the burned residue, then rewick.

will definitely give it a shot but the coils are quite small so will be a ..... to rebuild

Washing those types of heads will result in muted flavor. They are made to be disposable...

ive always washed my coils otherwise i would be replacing them every 3 days

Is the actual quality of the vape different? Like is it cooler or less thick? Maybe the battery or chip is dying and the mod's not outputting as much power as it's supposed to be. Even a few watts short would be enough to mute some flavors I think.

 

[wilson72]

nah its working fine i only got it about 2 months ago and it started off great really dense vapor and quite good flavor then the flavor just dropped off to the point that even mixing juice at 25% flavoring is dull

Replace your coil with a new one, then try it again.

If you are a heavy chain vapor then you need to change your coils quite often. I'm a chain vaper but I use the Rebuilable section. I put fresh cotton every day right after rinsing and burning off the coils. If I don't, the taste gets muted.

There's no way I could go 3 days. It gets yucky or muted after one full day.

Some also get better, the 0 nic should enhance the taste IMO

Replace the coil with a brand new coil.

^^^ agree with @stevegmu -- replace the coils/wicks instead of cleaning disposable ones.

Yup. Regardless of how well you think you're cleaning them, there will still be deposits of gunk that impede wicking action. Even if those deposits are microscopic, they affect performance over time.

i chain vape all most all day so yea thats probably my problem im thinking of upgrading to the subox kit seems like a solid kit and i like the look of that rba section ill just have to put up with the muted flavor until i can set aside the $140 dollars it costs here in new Zealand haha cheers everyone
