Hi everyone I get a burning taste frequently with my istick nano melo tank they don't sell the proper tanks but the shop recommended the aspire Atlantis I have been going through new atomizers every 3-4 days don't think that's the norm. I runs it on 25watts and noticed when I get a burned draw I just unscrew the top and many bubbles come for the one cotton hole and last for about 5 draw then goes back to burning taste please advise

How thick is the ejuice you are using? Most atomizers have 2 holes in them. Can you post a pic of your tank? Did you properly prime the coil before using? Watts may be a little high? What ohm is your coil?

The atomizer I use have 4holes but the bubbles only comes out of one when I unscrew the top after I get a burning taste in my throat The ejuice I use is decoded 75%vg and I usually put a new one in before I go to bed so it can soak overnight. And also the side of the atomizer says 20-30watts and the lady at the shop said 25watts on that type is norm.

In my opinion, 75 vg for that tank and for that coil is too high. It is thicker and therefore does not wick quick enough usually for the way people puff on their mods. And couple that with using higher watts is probably why you are getting burnt taste.

I would try a ejuice that is 40/60 pg/vg or a 50/50 pg/vg. Also recommended watts written on the sides of coils are usually not what most use them at. I believe they do that just so the atomizer wears out quicker.

Try a lower watt and also try to do puffs without hitting the fire button and look to see if bubbles start to come out of the holes. If you have to suck so hard for this to happen then the ejuice is def too thick.

Makes sense what your saying about companies want to go through product more. They make more money companies are crooks not like back in the day when they built things to last rather than building things replaceable
Don't be afraid to play with the watts no matter what tank or atomizers you have in them. The important thing is for you to enjoy the vape. That is all that matters. I have some premade coils for the Melo tank series that have 30 watts-80 watts recommendation imprinted on them. Highest I think I have been on those is 15 watts.

If you have to continue using such high vg, you may want to do yourself a favor and find a way to thin it a little.....like with distilled water. Of course the easiest way is to DIY your own ejuice. Or maybe discuss it with the shop your order your juice from......food for thought.

Welcome and glad you joined. Burning taste is indicative of incorrect wattage on wrong atty set up.

You could try adding a couple of drops of water to your tank of juice to thin it out a bit - you can also make the wicking a bit more porous by poking something like a sharp sewing needle through the holes a few times.

Try doing that as well as experimenting by starting with lower wattages - start low, and work up to where you like your vape.

Just looking at the coil heads and going - huh - should be OK @ 35W doesn't really make much sense.
