Thanks Andria. I kind of assume it might be because it is a clone. I thought about looking into one of the models with 2 airholes instead of just one(or just getting an authentic), but right now my funds are all tied up. As far as the flavor, even "unflavored" has a taste. It's kind of a peppery taste. After 2 years of
vaping unflavored, a person can tell when it's not quite right. I will be getting some rayon soon to try that, so perhaps that will yield better results for me also.
LOL I do realize how funny it sounds. Unflavored means no flavor additives, but the nicotine base does have its own flavor.
