The same thing happened to me. I ended up soaking my attys in vodka for an hour, then letting them air dry. You'll see a lot of brownish gunk in the bottom of the container you soak them in. Some people say never soak your attys, but that taste was killing it for me. I thought I would rather shorten the life of the atty and keep good taste.

I also changed out the filling of my cartridges with Lipton pyramid tea bag material. There are several threads on how to do this.

Anyhow, that solved my yucky burned plastic taste. Also, I just got some juice from Totally Wicked that tastes fantastic!! I love menthol and I am loving this juice!

    I don't know what strength you are using but the flavors that Nhaler has in the High Voltage line is wonderful. It is designed to burn better with manual units like the 510 and high voltage mods. There are alot of flavors to choose from. By the way, the HV liquid is 12mg but he also has 24mg that I use also and it is very good too.

    Lisa.... I too am a Menthol smoker.... what is the brand you found you like?
    Not sure about the atty, it still had the same taste with a new one. Might be the carts, don't know. I have used the teabag trick. Can't remember if I got that taste or not.

    I got the menthol flavor from www.totallywicked-eliquid.com. I got 18mg and also the 36mg for first thing in the morning. The taste is great and it comes in a cool looking glass dropper. They also sent me small plastic droppers, for carrying around I suppose. I also ordered spearmint, but I haven't tried that one yet. I may try that one tonight.

    It could be that the plastic taste you are having trouble with is from stray bits of the polyester stuffing in the cart getting burned onto the atomizer. You might try examining the atomizer bridge (the arched metal structure) with a magnifying glass to see if there are little bits of that stuff attached to it, and if there are, removing them carefully with tweezers. Using lipton teabags , instead of the stock stuffing, seems to cause less trouble and is quite popular. Myself, I use rolled up coffee filters which seem to work very well, too.

    That taste you are getting is due to a dry atomizer. You will find that if you drop two drops directly on the atty and top off your cart you will notice it go away. I dropped the filler material out of the picture months ago and drip only now. It is a little more of a pain but the taste is much better in the long run.

    I get my liquids from Myfreedomsmokes.com... I find that he has the best pricing and a great selection.

    Hope this helps you out.

    I have ordered samples before and I don't think they are lacking in flavor at all. However, my advice to you is try a lot of different flavors and don't rely on what others here say about flavors. What one of us considers to be a great flavor can be nasty to another. Eventually you will find a flavor or flavors that you really like, so try a lot.

    This is the best advice you can get... I tried many many different flavors before I decided on one that I could vape all day. I would have never thought that Peanut Butter Cup would have been a good one for all day.. but it is... lol

    Then there is the RY4 too ... but you may hate both of those... never know till you try..

    Got my sample pak....someone on a post here was complaining about Best E Cig delivery time....Don'y listen!
    I ordered very late Friday night, got it today Wednesday. And I'm in Kansas KC metro area.... thats pretty fast. Some flavors are pretty good.... made a mistake and started with cinnamon and licorice, now the others don't taste strong enough :) I'll find a good one here....All pretty good so far.
