Hello I just bought a vision ego stardust from cignot and I'm having some issues with it, any adivce would be greatly appreciated. I'm getting tons of vapor from it but the flavor is quite muted and tastes burnt and like plastic... its a disposable and LR. I've done a ton of research on here as well as google and tried everything. I have it on a 650mah ego battery that came with the ego-c kit from cignot.

I used to use the Stardusts--that was the problem I used to have with them, no matter how much I cleaned them. I made the switch to ViVi Novas (IMHO, a much better product).
In my experience, clearos are more like tanks than cartos, and the flavor can be muted in these. That's just my experience from one kind of tank and one pack of clearos compared to the Boge cartos I've been using for a year. If your vapor output is really good, I'd say short of getting a variable v/w device or a different brand of clearo, you might not be able to get better flavor. If you weren't getting good vapor either, then I'd ask if you've modded the clearo, cutting the wick slots to make them larger, fluffed the wicks, etc. but that doesn't seem to be your issue.
I have an ego twist 1000mah I've tried it on there as well with all different types of voltages I have the type b tanks that came with the kit and those r fine I've never had any issues with them at all I just have been reading a lot about the clearomizers and figuered for $5 id give em a shot the flavor is just burnt as hell and I only taste the juice I have in there very faintly and I haven't tried cutting the lil silicone nipple on the inside I can't get it out of there lol
I am fairly new to vaping btw tomoro will actually b a month off analogs and I haven't looked back since just dropped them the same night I got my ego kit I started off with a couple blu disposables from a walgreens and was just shocked how much I liked those over the stinkies and was considering the blu kit thankfully I found this forum and went the direction of the ego
There are several options that you may want to play with. The stardust is a Clearomiser as you know, ViVi Novas, Kanger T2 and T3, CE4, CE5 are also clearomisers. Some create different vape experiences based on location of the coils, the resistance rating of the coils, and thype of wick material. This is the biggest challenge. Phil B has a new utube instructional review on his web site tastemyjuice.com. You need to watch it.
You may be having issues with the resistance not matching up with your voltage on the stardust. This will create burn taste. You may have burnt the wick already by not having a proper prime on the wick. Very difficult to know.

I'm using the 650 eGo battery and started with clearos. I didn't like the flavor, or lack of, either. I switched to refillable cartos and am loving the flavor and vapor production.
Try to turn your ecig before each cycle of steam, spray for better wick with liquid. If you have a PV VV, try lowering the voltage
@graybuck I wasn't sure how to prime the thing I kinda just filled it up and started vaping away andthe taste was just terrible its going away a little bit over time however. I was hpoing I didn't burn it up but kinda was assuming I did. Is there like some kinda break in period for them?
@kfrisbee I'm not sure I wana deal with cartos and having to keep refilling them all the time especially when the tanks last me pretty much all day and I just have to clean em once a week or so.
@everyone thanks for the help with everything I'm not gonna give up on clearos I'm just gonna have to keep trying em out and find something that works for me I guess lol I've considered the vivi nova and may have to check those out thanks again!

Well like I said I have the twist and tried it on there from 3.2 up to about 4.2 and the burnt taste was jus too unbearable at that point so I just put it down and used my reg tank setup I've found with the twist that I can really only go up to about 4.2 depending on the juice anyways
Hi, I had the same problem with a cheapy cleromiser it was just like vapeing plastic like you said. I couldnt get it to work so threw it out and bought a vivi nova clero. I think I didnt let the clero wick properly and I didnt put a couple of drops on the top of the silicone cap to prime it first. I have no probs with cleros now and its my main delivery system as I find dripping and tanks just too fiddly for my lifestyle. I use 100% Vg and that can mute flavours but the vivi novas seem to cope fine. Also I tend to start off with a very low 3.2 on my twist and then just pump up the volume slowly to find the best spot for a particular juice if you start too high with LR and it burns you are done.

the place i bought it at said to not put any juice in the metal post so i didnt i just wasnt aware that there was a priming method to clearos hopefully i didnt burn it out as i first tried it on my regular ego 650 battery and even if it is burnt out at least it was a $5 mistake i wont make again lol def gonna look into the novas tho i have heard nothing but good about them also was told to try k3s on this thread as well like i said im quite new to vaping and havent put a ton of money into it yet and already am pretty satisfied with everything i have already the tanks work fine for me jus figuered id try something new thanks
Hi bigberk,
You didn't burn it out, and it might be as simple as China left something nasty in there. Sometimes its necessary to clean this stuff before first use.
i was actually just about to post a lil update lol ive been messing around with it for about a day now and i let it sit after filling it for a couple hours and the flavor is greatly improved in it i just dont think i let it sit long enough on the inital fillup to let the wicks soak up the juice its preforming wonderfully now no burnt taste just all pomegrante and grapey goodness thanks everybody!!! i havent tried it on the twist yet i dont wana get overzealous hahaha the regular 650mah ego battery is just fine
thanks everybody!!! i havent tried it on the twist yet i dont wana get overzealous hahaha the regular 650mah ego battery is just fine
Don't give up on it, I still use the Vision v2, and many people like them. I started using my ego-c again also. You can try everthing, but, they all do the same thing.
Glad you got it working, you can watch the juice climb the wicks, buy give it time to reach the coil of wire. Good luck.
