Ikv hv atty, awful taste!!

[tacklebait]

I dont know what's wrong. Im using a Darwin and the juices I've tried with two separate atomizers are, ms ts bakery snooker doodle and halos menthol ice.

I've used lots of drops, blown it out many times. Even soaked in water and dried thoroughly!

I used to drip and transitioned into smoketeks dual coils which taste amazing but get expensive. I ordered ikvs atomizers because of huge reviews they get .

It tastes like these things aren't soaking up the juice, or possibly it's the primer(although I am under the empress that there is no primer)

I need help! I turfed one out the car window today cause I was so fed up with it. But I have 4 more. I have the same issue with the ikv lr as well.

I received my IKEN atty from 2.5-3.5 Atty a few days ago. I too am using a darwin. I can say they are performing as well compared to my Joye Attys. Since we have Darwin's I would probably continue to buy a 2.0-2.5 atty for the Darwin. I think 3.5 is a waste of batteries and meant for non intelligent PV's at 5-6 volts.

You didn't really mentioned what your problem is? Not enough flavor? Tasting burnt?

 

[tacklebait]

I get a hint of flavor but a over powering Burnt flavor and it's loaded with juice.

You primed it with 6 drops and waited for 5mins? What wattage are you vaping bro.

 

[tacklebait]

Yup well over 5 minutes and at least 6 drops. Probably closer to 10( had to whipe away a little overflow). I've vaped from 5 watts all the up to 12.7. It all tastes like crap!

 

[tacklebait]

Driven me up the wall. It's happened with my last 3 atties that I've tried. Hard to believe all of them would be somehow off. But this isn't rocket science!!! Ug I just want a nice clean tasty vape!!

What atty and what resistance are they? Please explain how you primed them.

 

[tacklebait]

Ikv 3.5 ohm. Just the reg one.. Not the canon series or stealth

Remove tip apply 6-8 drops to atty. Let stand for awhile. vape. It was practically flooding last night when I left it to sit over night. Still tastes bad this morning

I am having this same problem with a new HV io6. I put 6 drops in it after blowing it out for good measure, let it sit approx 5 mins, and getting nothing but a horrible burnt taste at 3.7v...the taste gets worse and burns my tongue even more as I increase the voltage.

 

[Switched]

3 drops is all that is req'd in the IO6 to prime and 3 drops thereafter. They are juice hogs though.

 

[tacklebait]

I'm willing to send someone one of my atties to see if they work for them. Anyone with some experience with these want one? And will give me a reply with their findings.

Where in BC are you? I'm in Victoria/Vancouver most of the time, so I could maybe save you on shipping. What types of juices are you using? I've discovered that for me on anything producing more vapor/Flavor(LR306/LR510s or clearomizers) that I have a real dislike of high VG concentrations, they create a sort of extra taste under the flavors that tastes burnt and awful. Could also be they don't flow well, but some seem fairly liquid. What are you vaping? I've got some tasty vapor 90/10 mixes you could try if you're not too far away as well.
I vape 90% of the time on a 3.7 volt ego, but I also have a precision 18500 mod as well, I vape either 3.7 or straight 6 volt on that.
Have you tried cleaning them with the effervescent denture tablets? I'm really sensitive to any burnt or off flavors, and the usual wash and dry burn wasn't doing it for me, I was throwing out an atty a day in frustration, I couldn't stomach vaping off them. Using the denture tablet soak and dry burn then vaping solved those problems for me, I started vaping in '09 or early '10 I think, and never found a reliable way to avoid them, I could drown them in Atomic Cinnicide but couldn't vape anything else.

Tack I totally understand what you are going through now. I just received my atty from Greenhouseone and the 1 I sampled taste burnt no matter what I do. Ugh... I waited 30 days for it too to receive it from china. Lesson learned.

As for IKEN attys I am still a believer, I just hope I don't receive a bad batch like you did. I would ask for a replacement, they are pretty cool to deal with (only experience is a misorder on my part and they corrected it). Unfortunately they are gone still the 23rd.

Some of these are user error and one should not expect a vendor to come good for our mistakes. There is something amiss here as the units are shipped without a wick.

I live in Penticton in the okanagan. I'm more then happy to send you one of my atties. I have no clue what I'm doing wrong. And if someone else could try one and have the same issues it could rule out one of the obvious problems... Myself!! Hah
