I need vapor help! My vapor tastes bad. Nothing fixes

[Edgin.alli]

Alright. I've been vaping for almost two years but this one is going so over my head.

I have a couple different mech set ups. I have a dimitri box mod and a normal smpl mod.
I have a dark horse atty and an atty named Sig-s.

So I was using the dimitri with the dark horse when all of a sudden my vapor tasted like ....

I did all of the normal things I would suggest to someone else:
I changed the batteries
I changed the coils (three times now)
I changed the cotton (countless times)
I've used different juices, mostly premium stuff, which is not cheap!
When all of this failed, I switched to the smpl and same problem!
So I rebuilt the Sig-s and tried it on the smpl and the dimitri both. Again, same problem.

It's almost like both mods are getting too hot, and blowing through my juice, like, well, blow. And it never tastes the way it should. It's giving me a headache trying to fix it.

What am I doing wrong? Please help me. My vape is literally my favorite thing and I fear the abuse my roommate is forced to suffer while I go through withdrawls.

Wish I could help but do not own those. Seems like a short somewhere to me. Did you take apart your mods and clean all contact areas and threads? Batteries don't rattle when you shake it?

Hello and Welcome to the forums by the way!!!

I suspect since everything seems this way that you may be congested or something. Allergies? Cold? Burnt your tongue on food? Give it a couple of days and see what happens. And use your least fav juice in the meantime.

Have you checked the resistance on the coils ?
Checked the coils are glowing evenly ?

 

[Elizabeth Baldwin]

Could you have vapor's tongue?

Did you maybe buy new wire lately? Maybe using a lower gauge an normal or maybe nichrome instead of kanthal?

Could be your kanthal or cotton if the other factors haven't changed anything.
Chinese kanthal tastes horrible, you need to vape it for a while for the horrible taste to go, I don't even suggsest vaping on it because who knows, also oils from your fingers could be on the coil from building. I suggest getting a few different brands of kanthal to try them out. With cotton, I find sometimes there is a small bad taste when I rewick but that genenerally goes after 3 or 4 drags, make sure you have organic cotton (you do not want to vape bleached cotton!) If that still fails, there are different wicking materials available goodluck!

Maybe try changing your wicking material, or the cotton might not be saturated enough when test fire and burning the cotton, or maybe when changing the cotton dry burning the coils to get all the old gunk off.

I'm going to second this. While it may not be the reason, I had this exact thing happen to me a couple months ago. I woke up one day and everything tasted like .... Couldn't figure it out. Did everything I could to get things to taste better and nothing worked. The next day I woke up with a sinus infection from hell and everything started to make sense. A week or so later and my taste finally returned and my vape was satisfying again. I didn't even know I was sick, but my taste buds sure as hell knew.

It happens to me fairly often. I have severe allergies and sinus issues (and a chronic sinus infection due to an accident where my right maxillary sinus sustained multiple fractures). And usually the next day my taste comes back to normal.
