I can't wait until he starts rebuilding... I can hear it already... "I poked a hole in my finger with the Kanthal! I've contacted the manufacturer and they were snarky with me. My finely tuned fingertips are extremely sensitive to holes poked by Kanthal wire, possibly from an experience I suffered as a child. I mean, I can FEEL it waaaay better than all of you people can. It feels like burnt wall insulation tastes except I FEEL it...and it's in my fingertip instead of my highly developed tongue. Other than that , it's the same...maybe a little wicky too. I just think I should be able to wrap a coil without the fear of being IMPALED by the wire! I think the people who make the kanthal, make it sharp intentionally so we have to buy pre wrapped coils from the Chinese people who are diguised as ECF forum members planted here to deliver faulty products to ME and ME ONLY!!! BadNews! Kanthal wire is unhealthy!"
I second RocketPunk's post. Every community needs a little "Spagett!"

Anyone who appreciates the humor of "Spagett", and who writes such information-filled, meandering posts is OK in my book.

Goodnews, if we were allowed, I would take up a collection to do just that. Get you the best thing out there and turn you loose on it. (with the condition the you never mention the words aspire or ce4 ever again) I suppose there are too many variables, and I don't know anything about dripping, so I'm sure I would pick the wrong thing, and then where would we be? Have you ever tried a Cato in a tank? I would straight up send you one with the same condition. Definitely my topper of choice.
May be it's just me but the one time I screwed up and bought a 3.5 ohm drip atty I started out at 4.8v and usually vaped it closer to 6v.
4.1v ~ 3.5 ohm = 4.8w, seems on the low side for getting much flavor or vapor.
As others have said, I'd clean it with pga then vape 4-5 drops of unflavored when changing flavors. In my experience mixing a few different flavors ends up tasting like vaping mud.

There is also Flavor Eraser from Fuzion Vapers. I've used it to clean out all my 510 dripping atomizers in-between flavors. Stuff works wonders. A buddy had me try a candy bar that was horrendous, and I was able to get rid of it within 30 seconds with that stuff.
sounds like its just mudded up from vaping too low and just need a quick burn and rinse.
Obviously, I do keep a bit of tongue-and-cheek humor to my posts with the bizarre vocabulary I use... it is indeed just a tinge, as most of my posts are actually really serious and am often asking for help on this forum.
But the truth is, a controlled test is a controlled test. You can call it testing, you can call it experimenting in a more precise manner than anyone on this forum has done, it's no biggie to me.
Also, concerning the CE4 references, I've had CE4's work even better than this Cisco, concerning flavor. I have no clue how, because it's been random and usually only occurring at juice bars, but that's that.
And I genuinely did not know you're supposed to flush a dripping atty out with each new flavor; I've just seen that as a technique. I've seen people say that they do no such thing. Even if I was the only one to try this, it was presenting absolutely no problem for about 30 minutes. It could be one of the factors giving me a diminished vape - three things that I personally see happening is A. The coil was vaped at two low of a voltage, causing a quick, but sight, gunking, or B. The various liquids have left residues that don't particularly align well with each other, after some vaping, or C. Maybe I dislodged a leg or something, I've seen people say atties leak real bad if a coil becomes out of wack.
Also, if someone wanted to be funny, they sort of failed at it because in almost every single thread I've ever made, my experience has went from awful to staying awful. Not until I got my hands on the Smokin' Crow did my experience start out pretty good and then go a little dry. The Cisco without a doubt is the best vape so far - still tastes clean. Just it mysteriously diminished. Probably needs a good soak or something, obviously I'm going to try it. I don't think it sounds that bizarre, seems like a pretty normal old vaping issue to me. It's why I asked about it.
One last thing, is I don't think anyone here wants to taste burnt insulation (aka burnt polyfill) in their vapor, if they do, then I know understand exactly why I'm... different... from this forum. [moderated]
It's not like the taste I'm tasting from the A-word (should I call it that instead?) is subliminal or slight. It is severe. It was downright deathly in the iClear. In no way was my experiences on construction sites a bad one, it was fun. It's not something just horrific to be around wall insulation, it simply doesn't taste or burn pleasantly, I wouldn't smoke carpet but I don't hate carpet. Wouldn't recommend anyone putting carpet in their juice either, even if Kanger one day says it improves the flavor (actually, for them, it probably would.)
P.S. It could be causing some gunking on the coils, idk, but I do have to say, on this Cisco, 4.1V's with a 3.5ohm, it is billowing vapor. I wouldn't have guessed it either, but then again, I believe this is generally a very good atty. It almost is creating more vapor than the A-word. It sort of makes me wonder why companies are bothering with the whole low ohm thing - this atty is frickin 3.5ohm and the vapor is unreal. It ain't sub-ohm or nothing but geez, this atty, at double the res, makes CE4 vapor look so pitiful lol....

Good News.
I was not trying to call it a trauma of any sort just a past experience that gives you a bit more knowledge of what burning glass fiber smells like. That is all. If you took it as me over dramatizing it that was in no way my intention. I do think you first hand knowledge of what that smells like makes it more likely you would notice such a taste than those of us who have never smelled it. (Taste and smell being very connected)
The simple truth is you are tasting something from wicking most of us simply are not. That does not mean you are not tasting it. Just that we don't. Makes it kinda hard to help though we do keep trying.
I admitted I knew nothing of ciscos. I have only used a basic bridgeless 510 dripping atty and a bit of a selection of rebuildables. SO although I do know dripping I don't know your particular atty.
Remember that taste is an individual thing. What you call muted may well be what I was referring to as mellowing of the harsher taste of a new atty as it breaks in. It could also easily be gunk on the coils or muddied up flavors from not cleaning.
Giving the atty a good cleaning might help sort it. Darn sure wouldn't hurt.
Good luck

C'mon dude. Most of us have tried really hard to be encouraging in this thread. Why do you have to make that SO difficult? Read over that last post again. Anything sound like anything you've been accused of in the past?
Best of luck.
Best of luck.
You know what the more I think about things the more I think I just need to bow out of this thread. I keep trying to help but I get the feeling the OP would prefer I did not.
SO I do wish you good luck OP no matter what you think of me.
I am out

No Drug references on this forum. Please edit that post if possible.
You just refuse to realize the way you phrase things and the frustration you bring to others.
When you insist device (X) is simply horrid/acrid/disgusting and you then insist that we must be all messed up if we are not experiencing the same thing, you have just become completely judgmental.
It is clear to everyone here, you personally feel that many devices are horrible and you cannot in any way enjoy using them. This has yet to prove the devices are actually in any way defective, simply they do not work for YOU.
Your personal experiences and journey into vaping will always be yours, but they will NEVER be the experiences of the majority of others.
Likely you are actually Hyper sensitive. This is all fine and good. We have a person on the DIY forums that never goes over .5 to 1% Max with any flavor he Vapes and swears they are sometimes to strong......FOR HIM. He never insist we are all nuts because we use anywhere from 5% to over 20% flavoring for a decent taste.
When you assume everyone must fit your mold, you are in for some serious back lash.
No doubt you are looking for some respect.
Give and receive.
Go, think, apply

I'm not sure which is more entertaining, GoodNews coming back time and time again, complaining about everything, calling himself an expert and claiming that he does better or more scientific or more thorough tests than anyone else on here or the poor saps who get suckered into actually trying to help him.
I've been vaping for less than 5 months, have absolutely no where near enough experience to review anything yet I have the ability to ask a question, read other peoples posts and figure out what I'm doing wrong!

We have all watched hours and hours of reviews from actual reviewers. In doing so, we have learned to tweak and adjust our equipment so it works. Please stop insulting our intelligence by trying to pass yourself off as some kind of expert. We, the ignorant, seem to be enjoying our vape while you, the expert, are running to the bathroom throwing up and banging your head against the wall. One doesn't need to spend very much time watching a real review to figure out that you have absolutely no idea what youre doing. in case you haven't noticed, you didn't join a forum full of ignorant little kids. We are grown ups, business people, intelligent people who have found a way to stop smoking. If all you want is free stuff, then by all means, have the balls to say please send me free stuff. Chances are, we will send you whatever you want. I have never seen a more helpful and caring community as this one. but please, stop trying to pass yourself off as something you're not.
You know on a previous GoodNews thread a moderator reminded us of rule #8 about attacking a poster directly and not the post. However GoodNews shows up here time and time again and insults almost every single person on this forum with his posts.
He threatened me with reporting me if I didn't show him by the end of the day where he was rude to others and before I could even reply another person posted pages of his quotes talking down to every single person who doesn't agree 100% with his point of view.
I'm sure after spending 24 hours trying to read all of his posts that I am truly the crazy one. (I read all three of the 50 Shades trilogy in less time) I admit I have had problems with some vaping products but all this time I thought it was me, something I was doing wrong and even when I discovered what I thought I was doing wrong and fixed it I read yet another GoodNews post. Guess what, I'm crazy, I'm completely insane, my clearo's, atty's etc work and I like the flavor from them so I have listened to the expert, I'm completely insane and with that I'm dumping $1,000+ worth of vape gear in the garbage and heading to the analog smoke shop to buy a carton of Marlboro's. After all, I have quoted his post a couple times now where he explains to all on ECF that he "knows everything there is to know" so with that knowledge I have no choice but to go back to analogs.
I wish all well on their vaping journey but I just don't have the intelligence to measure up to GoodNews and since he's the expert I will never get to that level so I'm going back to the old way with burning leaf and paper full of better tasting things.

Not me. I'm going to sit here and anxiously await his next review. They're more fun than a bucket of puppies!
I'm not going to get an infraction over this, previous post redacted.
