LR Atomizer, all VG Juice

[mstrhck]

I was wondering if others have come across a little problem using a LR atty. I so far have used only all-VG liquid with it, not sure if it matters. I get a nasty wild-animal (musky) urine aftertaste with my ecigarette (510 setup) using these atomizers.

To be more specific, I've used only Vaporbomb flavors (pineapple, chocolate, and cinnabomb [which is THE bomb]) with these atomizers. I think something in the flavoring must be producing this taste with the higher temperature.

Otherwise, I love the atty's for their better vapor qualities, etc. I just don't want to taste the back alleys of Paris if I don't have to. Help!!

hmmmm, i dont have this problem with vg and LR atty. It may just be your juice. Do you have another suppliers VG to try and see if it replicates the taste?

Hi mstrhck, how long are you drawing for and how many ml do you get through in a day? If you are a very heavy vaper who likes long draws then this combined with the LR might be the problem.

Thanks for the help, guys. I don't think I'm a heavy vaper, more of a frequent puffer, but I've rotated out the LR atomizer for this problem as well as some irritation to the mouth/throat. Some combination of what I'm doing and the higher wattage isn't good for me. Luckily I'm still happy with the regular setup.

VG juice shouldn't have that effect on an atty. i would try switching it up to a different juice to see if there's a difference, and if not, i'd try either cleaning the atty or just use a different one. i'm assuming that you're using a LR 510, so i recommend trying at a LR 306 atty (which has a 510 connection), or get an adapter and try a LR 901. both produce a better flavor than 510s IMO.

Is this just one LR atty? Have you used non-VG in it after getting the unpleasant taste? I had to toss one atty because it just got a bad taste, don't know why, and I couldn't wash it out.

My VG liquids don't wick as quickly and I'll get more of a dry taste if I'm vaping quickly. But I can't say that I've ever tasted anything that I would call animal urine (ick!).

Could the taste be caused by combining more then one flavor accidently? [Still some cinnabomb in the atty and adding pineapple?]

As others have suggested try a couple of brands of VG liquid, perhaps the one you're using has a funky taste at that temp.

Thanks,

Thanks everybody. I think you've helped me figure it out! I guess it was a problem with flooding the atty, either using a driptip or a PTB cartridge. Just today I discovered the simple poly plug thingie and everything is much better, with both kinds of atty's. Before, I was running into a problem with constantly having to 'top off' and it was getting ridiculous, so I did some more reading here. I think I was keeping my atties in a flooded state and burning the cartridge rim and possibly altering the PTB as well. So far so good, with any luck I made some progress up the learning curve.
