I believe the SE Gold is a "badged" RN4081. I'd do some searching based on that information and see what you come up with.

Yep, I found it. Of course I would like to find it cheaper. I'll do some more research.

I have a JOYE 510, but I like this SE Gold. I love the taste of its mint cartdriges, and when you manipulate the air holes on it, it produces excellent vapor. I may just invest in another atomizer or two. They look to be fairly cheap.

I have an 801 that I purchased from LiteCig USA. It had the burnt metal taste straight outta the box and it doesn't nor has it ever vaped right. I watched some instructional videos here at the forum. I thought mine was vaping right untill I watched those. The guy in the vids was using a 501 I think. I read somewhere that the 801 doesn't perform nearly as well as some of the other models. I have been able to get the 801 to hit and vape right by covering some of the 4 air holes on the atty with my fingers. If I do it right, it hits smooth, no burnt taste, and I get lots of vapor.

Some of you may wanna try my technique. Just cover some of the air holes on the atty and see what happens. The atty gets a little hotter than usual doing this, but it hits WAY better.

hey...sorry to hear some have had probs by removing the string.
I'm fairly new to this "tech" stuff, I just wanted to pass it along to try and give something back to this forum.
So if youve sacrificed any hrdwr doing this...again sorry

So I'm a bit baffled w/ the inconsistent results.

FYI...I'm using the atts w/ string removed that I recieved in a starter kit from innovapor
As of my original post about removing the said culprit...I'm still on the same atts.

I constantly rotate 3 batts I have on charge and vape MY FREAKIN BRAINS OUT, especially in the eve's and wknds...matter of fact I'm lookin into a pv because of the whole battery charging drama LOL..any suggestions?

go to Mod forum to learn how to make you a 18650 batt box, that would last you over a day of mad vaping!

* For the burnt atts taste, even you ppl do not want to pull those nilon string out, you still have to trim the parts that turned( had been burnt) to black to totally get rid of that taste.

dont burn your atty's.


I'm sorta new still. Been vaping for about a month. No burnt atty's yet... Just keep it nice and wet, not flooded. Only do dry burns after I blow everything out first.

Not sure why so many people seem to be having so much trouble with this. It just doesn't seem that complicated to me I guess.

To poster #2 - I would not every mess with my attys - Yes, make sure there is no cart filler material down there but other than that, everything thats there is there for a reason...

You guys are getting that burnt taste because you are running your attys too dry. Wetten em up a bit.

The way to get rid of that burnt taste is to soak them in ISO (rubbing alcohol) for an hour or two, blow them out, run them under the water faucet and blow them out a couple of times. Then let them dry on the kitchen counter batt side up. Burnt taste gone.

SO I made the same mistake as many and pulled out the inner wicking to discover my atty was giving an even worse burning taste. I decided to try a little folded strip of nylon tulle, that i use for cart filling (it doesn't melt at least from atties), and stuck it inside the mesh. Dropped a few drops and now its working just like it used to with no bad taste.

I'll keep this thread updated if anything bad happens =)

EDIT: Also just tried this on my High-bridge 801 atties which i couldn't get wicking well, now they work GREAT hopefully its not just the dripping and the cart will wick to it as well.

Hell, I was using Everclear 75% and it didn't work as well as I would have liked, so I pulled all the mesh (not the metal) out with tweezers.

My 901 attyZ are still having burning taste, but I have since switched over to my 510s and LOVING THEM MORE than the 901.

I'll try this, I did pull all the fiber mesh out of my 510 attyZ that had issues and I noticed no difference in vapor.

I hate cleaning my attys because they never seem to work the same again. I do do it when it becomes absolutely necessary, and mid last week, I got one that got this gawd awful burnt taste to it. Just about made me sick puffing on it.
This is the first time I used Crest Blue Pro mouthwash and a little bit of Efferdent Plus. Put it in it and stirred and swirled off and on as I let it just soak for a few hours. Then I let it soak in water over night, and then let it sit for 12 hours to dry.
This is the first time the atty seem to come out of the cleaning process working pretty much the same as new. It did taste a little like the mouthwash for a few puffs but the important thing is---it got rid of the burnt taste.:thumb:

I can't believe this. We go through this event every other week. Some noob finds the fiberglass wicking material sticking out and then pulls it out. On the 510 do not pull this wick out! Or if you do, DO NOT recommend this to anyone. If you want to do it your self, knock your self out. Just don't recommend doing it to anyone else.

Folks do some searching in this forum and you will find possibly40 to 50 threads about cleaning attys and also some posts where someone pulled the wick out. This wicking material may look burnt but believe me it isnt's. It is made of a high temp figerglass and it won't burn.

Just thought I should add, just in case someone happens upon this thread, and has a "084" atty ... and thinks it might be a good idea to mess with this fibreglass "cable" ... Listen to the above poster (words of wisdom !) ... ~ DO NOT PULL IT OUT , it will render your atty totally and completely useless. ~ Believe me , IT WILL seize to produce any vapor whatsoever !!!

I have a similar, but slightly different problem here.

On my first 510 atty, I also noticed this wick. I was curious as to what it was, but didn't actually try to pull it out. Rather, I just poked at it gently with my tweezers. Nonetheless, this did the trick, and it came loose and is now just hanging out in the bottom of my atty. I'm also getting a burnt taste from it, and I suspect that I might be scorching it. I've tried to poke it back where it was with my tweezers, but I've yet to have any success... So what should I do? It's pretty frustrating to have an almost brand-new atty that I can't use.

I have got the burnt taske on 2 510 atty's. I have been cleaning them now for 2 days..Soaked in Pepsi, steradent, blown them out with canned air, removed the strands..I have tried all that I can think off and also suggestions from here but I'll be damned if that burnt taste will go away.

Am getting so annoyed that I am quickly losing the will to carry on. That would be a shame since I enjoyed it very much.

Can some please help me get rid of this disgusting taste an smell...One of the Atty's is nearly new and one is approx. 2 months old. They both still work great but taste awful.

Please please someone help :)

Also, the fibers aren't nylon, they're silicon dioxide strands. They don't burn, but they can melt. But only when far hotter than a puny atomizer can get. Remove them and you're degrading the design and intent of the atomizer. They're the wick that "pulls" e-liquid to the coil to produce the vapor you inhale.

Vaping atomizer nylon? Not only bad taste, bad for your health. It's NOT what they use.

If the forums haven't shown you a method that works to clean the burnt taste from your atomizer, buy new ones as needed.

Me, I use an ultrasonic cleaner and the DRY burn method to clean mine. DRY, after 1-2 days drying out. This burns off e-liquid residue that causes the burnt taste. I follow this with another ultrasonic clean to rid it of the burnt residue and taste.

Say what? Those .......s burn! :p Or at least turn brown and leave a bad taste when they touch the coil. I dont think the wicks are unburnable.

I yanked mine out, but I also tore the bridge out and just drip
