Is burnt poly REALLY obvious?

[XMit]

Just got my 510 kit today. vaping with the pre-fills that came in the kit until my carts and juice get here (hopefully tomorrow). Already learned not to draw so hard to get a better vape.

Question is, since I am not used to the juice flavor, I can't tell if I'm tasting burnt poly, burnt atty or just juice. Is the off taste of burnt atty/poly VERY obvious? I can't tell if I'm tasting the adjunct flavors of PG or something else.

Want to make sure I'm not frying atty's since I'm on my second cart in four hours.

I don't use atomizers, just cartomizers but the burnt taste is extremely obvious.

Did your 510 come with prefilled carts that you place on the atty? I think a cart holds about .5 ml of juice. Not a huge amount. The average person goes through between 2-3 to 5 ml of juice per day.

...first you get a "cottony" taste...if you continue, you will get a burnt plastic taste and if you continue after that, it will make ya sick..........

Pre-filled cartridges for atomizers.

Thanks for the info the description madjack gave is spot on. The cottony flavor was just showing when I switched to a fresh cart.

Thanks for the response swedish and jack.

When you get your juice you can top off your used cartos. Did you get a similar juice flavor?

Edit: Nevermind, I keep forgetting your using carts.

You really should try cartomizers sometime. They hold more juice.

The juice in most of those kits is so terrible its kinda hard to tell if its burnt poly or just the juice....



but ya should be able to look and tell if the poly is burning.....


Get some blank carts and some real juice quick!

With the new (half) full cart I can't tell yet since each draw is kind of different. I can say the new cart tasted "cleaner". I still get a slight adjunct flavor but I think it's the PG, as I used to DJ and I vaguely remember the PG fog machines had almost the same aroma as what I'm tasting.

Later, when the budget rebounds and SWMBO see's the cost savings over analogs, I'll try them.

those atomizers take a day or two to "breakin" too....As far as cleaning them, I've been running 4 ego atomizers on carts since I bought this ego September 7th and just lost one last night.


(I keep an atomizer for each flavor.)(the one I lost was a citrus flavor....I cant tell if the atomizer burned or corroded in half but the coil was split upon dissection.)

Light long draws and keeping those carts wet are the key to happyness.

What 510 PV are you using? Is it a slim ecig or a bigger battery 510 (450mah+)?

I really think if you tried cartomizers youll have a much smoother and enjoyable vaping experience.

A 5-pack of cartos isnt too much and its def worth trying. Check out Crystal Clear Vaping. You can get a pack of Boge Cartos there for about $7 and it will come with a free syringe that you can use to fill them if youd like. CCV sells the Boges, Ressurectors, and Dual Coils in standard resistance and low resitance. They also sell 15-packs and they come with a syringe and a free drip tip. A 5-pack would prob be better to start so you can try them and then if you like them you can order more.
If you have a slim ecig battery, get the boge 3.0ohms and they will work great. Dont get the LR 2.0ohm boges for a slim ecig bc LRs can damage those batteries. If you have a bigger battery PV like an eGo,Riva,E-Power,kGo, etc you can use the SR cartos or the LR cartos. The SRs will be a cooler vape while the LRs will be warmer and give more throat hit. Many people prefer the LRs. When I first got my E-Power it came with 2 attys and 5 prefilled carts and they didnt hit well and ran out of juice quickly. Now I use the Ressurector cartos and it is a HUGE difference. Way more vapor, more flavor, and they hold way more juice than a cart so you dont need to refill frequently. CCV also has free shipping so you would only have to pay for the cartos and nothing else.
