Horrible Burnt Taste

[vaporone]

Hey guys, so I'm pretty new to vaping, recently switched from regular smokes to a vaporesso veco one starter kit. I am using a 50/50 pg vg liquid, however all but the first coil are giving a horrible burnt taste. Since this is a starter kit, i have absolutely no control over voltages. I am properly priming the coils, soaking, primer puffs, letting it sit, etc (euc eco universal) bought a new pack of 5 today however, every single time without fail, it will get burnt, and give me a burnt taste. Gone through 4 coils already and I don't want to burn the last one. Any helps or tips would be greatly appreciated!

i can't help much. all my starter kits allowed me to adjust wattage.
the coils might be fakes, but if not, try overdoing the priming.
after doing what you have, take several pulls without power. then let it sit for an hour.
see if that helps.

Did your pods other than the first one come in a different box from the starter kit?

And when you start hitting it with power, try short bursts at first. One second on the button, and keep pulling for another second after you release the button.
And give it a minute to cool before the next hit. You are "breaking in" the coil.
Then you can increase your pull duration.
Good luck!

All the coils came in a different box from the starter kit, the kit actually had no coil and I ended up taking a huge hit of nicotine eliquid straight into my throat had to go back into the shop to sort it out

So all the coils came from the same box including the first one?

Maybe the first coil was broken in easily due to hesitation, and the new ones burnt due to eagerness.

Do you know if they are the ceramic or standard wick coils? (I actually don't know much about this, but might help others chime in) Maybe too much airflow? 50VG/50PG juice is so thin I don't understand why this would happen.

Hello @vaporone, may I ask if the kit was sealed or not? As Vaporesso always seals their boxes.

Hey guys, thank you for the prompt replies, so I actually think that the problem was the ejuice. Switched juices since my new order finally arrived about 10 minutes ago, tastes amazing. Not too sure why the previous one was giving off a horrible burnt flavor. Stay right away from caktus melon ice.

Are you doing dl inhales?This tank is made for direct to lung vaping so if you inhale mouth to lung you'll burn the coil.
The burnt smell once a coil is burned,remains in the tank so remove the coil,wash the tank under the tap(you can use dish soap) and dry it.Prime a new coil and install it.Assemble the tank and fill it.

There is a possibility 50% PG is irritating your throat and gives you the impression the coil is burned tough it isn't so.You can try 70vg/30pg or higher vg up to full vg e-liquids.

What is the pg/vg ratio of the new bottles?

 

[HigherStateD]

Hmmm... The cactus melon ice was good at first, but burnt after a new coil?
Fascinating.

It didn't actually taste good at first, I just assumed it was a bit burnt because the first coil was already used up.
Afterwards, went through 4 new different coils all for it to give a horrible burnt after taste in your mouth. Tried the coils with

Welcome to the friendly bunch

I feel for you....that burnt taste is not good.....try out the ultimate coil break in methods stated above and make sure that when you take a puff that you are drawing enough air through the device as it's designed for quite a lot....Good luck
