Quickly overcoming the burnt taste + does Windwalker have too much time on his hands, or is he actually helpful?...
lol...
Well, I'm actually just an extreme Nomenclature Freak, and honestly, I think it is one of the funniest things in the whole industry... For years I've worked in the tech field, and we have a thing called W3C consortium that handles nomenclature for all internet technology, so that Firefox, Safari, Internet Explore, Opera, etc. all work the same way...
With tech, there is no margin for error, everything must be perfectly precise... (imagine a 100 page long book and if one word is misspeled the whole book destroys itself) . . . Plus it constantly changes, so most tech type people are real kooks about nomenclature -
" 'b' is deprecated since 2006" we shout (nerd nomenclature joke) as we constantly check W3C for the latest Nomenclature...
So, for tech nerds, watching the Nomenclature fiasco in the E-Cigarette world is hilarious... For quite a few years now I've been under the hood with the tech side of the E-Cig industry, and in one case, I kid you not, I worked with a manufacturer who has FIVE, count them FIVE DIFFERENT PRODUCTS all with the exact same name. Hilarious... A customer calls asking a question and no one has any idea what is going on...
Then there's this thing called "First Exposure Bias" which means: "The definition a person is first exposed to is the one they believe to be correct." So two people, totally honest, sincere, experienced and professional can get in these huge arguments about little silly stuff: "KGO is 510 EGO Compatible!" - - - "NO! KGO is 54mm x 9.2mm, not EGO compatible..."
But the only reason they argue, is because the first thing they got exposed to named KGO was different, and they each think it is correct... When the truth is, there is no Standards Board, so you can call anything 'EGO Compatible' it's might be meaningful, it might not be... EGO was the name of product, not a standard...
So it's funny to me...
As far as having too much time on my hands... I work with China all night, almost everynight, and there is this 'Conversation Lag' - like if you look at the that transcript, it's like 3-5 minutes between each response... So it gives me time to hang out here and be helpful when I can... That's why i can pull up a Sailebo rep in ten seconds, I'm plugged into the world all night everynight anyways... I just clicked one button and I was online with her...
Now -
Stinky Atty's versus Cartos...
It's might just be me, but I won't take two puffs off a stinky, tiny, metallic, or plasticy tasting cart or atty...
No way... I toss them immediately.
People talk about atty burn in lasting a day or two, I say - "Are you insane!!!" Not two puffs, ever. There are so many things that can make a burnt, plasticy, or metallic taste - not one of them is good for you.
For me, I vape because it is a cleaner way to enjoy my tobacco, and for me, I must answer the Question: "What is causing that burn in period? What is burning?"
If it goes away, where did it go? I mean, most likely, it is flux residue, or cleaning solvent, or surface sealant, so that means I would be inhaling it until it completely burnt away... No way, not me.
Same for plastic taste... No way.
For me, on that beautiful beastly 1100mAh KGO battery, I'd go ECHO-E Dual Coil 2.3ml cartomizer - all day, everyday... So clean, so pure, right out of the box... 2.3ml, dual coil, copper coils, lead free zero flux solder, no 'Tin Whiskers', Ceramic Coil Shields prevent fibre burn - it is technologically the cleanest and most advanced carto in the industry... It should fit that KGO just fine... But you can buy one of the ECHO single coils from nhaler.com for $3 and find out...
Then mtnvapor.com has the Dual coils 5 for $18, if they fit... test for $3.00... it's a good deal...
But I warn you, if you try it, it may ruin all other carto and atty for you...
Once you switch to copper coil cartomizers, you realize how strong the metallic taste was, and you realize that you'd 'gotten use to' burning atty's, tinny coils, and a metallic flavor...
A note on this: "Tin Whiskers" this is the best kept secret in the world of E-Cigs, but it's not really a secret because so few people even know it exists -
the source of that nasty metallic flavor you get sometimes... (not the burnt taste, the metallic, tinny taste) - - -
Here's what that metallic taste is: E-Cigs must use 'Lead Free Solder' for safety reasons - this means, less expensive carts use 'More Tin in their Solder' which is fine, except for the whiskers... There's actually a really interesting Wikipedia article about all the problems Tin Whiskers cause:
Whisker (metallurgy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tin melts when exposed to electricity, just a tiny little bit, but enough to grow these tiny little whiskers... So in computer tech, the tin whisker is a major problem, but in cartomizer and atomizer, with heat and oil - where do you think the whisker goes?
If you guessed: "It gets vaporized and then inhaled" you'd be right!
So the next time you get a tastey little metallic flavor, remind yourself - "I just took a shot of molten tin vapor into my lungs"
Do that 300-600 times a day, in a few years, you can become a super hero "Tin Lung!"
So, personally, for me, the Bloog style cartomizer, and the ECHO's are basically the only one's I'll put in mouth... They both use a woven ceramic cover over the solders to prevent any whiskers from entering the fluid mass...
Also, Smok Tech carts seem to be 'Tin Stable' but I don't know how they do it, and I have gotten tinny hits from them before, but i still use them some times...
But, give yourself a treat and try the ECHO-E carts out on that KGO...
