just now, im getting a burnt taste and smell on my kayfun

[Jae Lee]

i have re-coiled my kayfun, filled it up w/ my favorite juice gravel pit, been happily vaping for about a few hours and all of a sudden getting a burnt taste/smell.

what does this mean? do i keep vaping and will it go away or do i need to re-coil the damn thing?

What did you use for wick material?

If cotton, you need to rewick it.

The common cause is your wicks are blocking the juice channels.

 

[Jae Lee]

can i unblock it and then continue vaping it? or do i still need to re-wick the damn thing?

 

[Jae Lee]

basically , the moment you taste burnt, does that mean you have to replace it ASAP?
ive continued to vape the burnt hits after burnt hits, i have no idea what that will do to my body but i guess i'll save that for another thread.

put your finger over the airhole and suck some juice into the chimney

If your using cotton wick and burn it then it will taste burnt till you rewick it. You should not have to recoil it.

so i opened it and cotton was burnt, lot of black stuffs around it. i just re-wicked it and now my vapes are very weak, what could be wrong? i usually let my vape store re-coil/wick for me but i just tried it myself and i wonder if i did something wrong.

To Much Cotton!!!

I'm a newbie to rebuildables but every wick so far for the Kayfun has been at least okay.
I'm using Koh Gen Do cotton pads which makes it easy to get the sizing right, so the coil is full but the cotton doesn't drag when pulling it through or bunch up at the entrance to the coil.

After you pull the old wick, dry burn it before putting in the new wick to burn the crud off the coil.

don't forget to wash it between burning the coils. Just make sure you don't melt the insulator.
