a friend recently gave me his ego that he's hardly ever used. since i've started vaping i've been using an 808, so i have no experience with these ego things.

anyway, the problem i'm having is that when i draw on it, all i get is a burnt plastic-like taste. when i push the button down with no cartridge, it smells sweet, like the liquid should smell. but when i put the cartridge full of liquid in, it's diguisting. i'm pretty sure the filler material in the cartridge is getting burnt on the atomizer.

i have no idea what to do. i'm thinking perhaps it would be best if i just buy cartomizers so i don't have to bother, but i hate being wasteful and would like to get this to work properly.

If you get a plastic taste it may be a dry atomizer. The wicking in the cart has to touch the mesh bridge in the atty to transfer juice. Is the atomizer barrel getting hot? It should be cool to slightly warm. The filler material won't burn if it's wet. Dry, ti will taste terrible.

You can buy a bag of polyfill or Marineland blue foam from Walmart that will last you a life time for a few bucks. Check out the cart filler threads. Or, you can try a tank atty with the Ego battery.
