LR Attys For Dummies

[VaporPhreak]

Ok folks. I am clearly missing something with regards to the LR Atty. I bought it about a month ago, and since then every juice I have put in it tasted burnt. I was then advised to remove the bridge, the mesh that arced over the bridge, and the internal wick so that I can drip directly on the coil. I have done so, but everything still tastes burnt. I like the volume of vapor, but the taste is horrid. Soooo....
What am I missing and/or doing wrong here? Why does everyone else have such good results from these things?

What PV are you using and what liquid?

I haven't had that problem with the LR 510's, however I've had a similar issue with the LR 801. I can't get it to be anything other than just really harsh, unless I basically flood the attomizer and then it leaks like crazy. It puts out HUGE amounts of vapor but I just can't get it to give me any real flavor.

@Domino38
I am using a 510 (3.7v 14500 box mod) and regular PG based juice that appears to be Dekang. I used the same juice and box mod on a regular atty and 510 carts all the time and its awesome. I have tried RATH Juice (100% VG base, USA Made) as well which tastes slightly less burnt, but not by much.

@Stu
801's are kind like that normally though... at least to me. They leak ALOT, and the flavors are quite muted sometimes while some are actually stronger on an 801. I think the flavor issue is in part due to the longer tube between atomizer coil and mouthpiece which allows the vapor to cool more and become a bit more airy.

Honestly, at this point I think I either have a crap LR Atty or am just not using the right liquid. I have been considering ordering some HV Juice from NHaler, but that stuff is ridiculously expensive when you are used to paying 42¢ a ml. (Thank you LiteCigUsa!)

Hmmm..I wonder if it's because it's Dekang juice?? I know they seem a bit thinner than some others but....

I've found that my Tastyfinger from TV can taste a bit harsh with the LR atty too..but the AC seems fine! Maybe it's just certain juices don't marry up very well with the heat..

I have tried the LR atties from three different vendors. So far, I have only had one of them that did the burnt taste thing and I got it fixed by my cleaning method that I won't post on here because, frankly, I don't want to hear it.
I am not sure what caused the taste other than I did leave the wicks in when I first tried it just to see if they would be ok. Of course, they weren't, and I pulled them after about 15 minutes. The taste was still there after I pulled them so I cleaned it and it was fine after that.
I guess what I am saying is try to clean that atty with something strong and you may be able to save it.

I like to take long drags, and my juice tastes kinda burnt with my LR atomizers at 3.7v unless I pump the button on the battery a few times during my drag to keep the atomizer coil from getting too hot.

I been using the LR attys for about a month now and at least for me, they work very good....I use a lot of 70/30% PG/VG juice from Tasty Vapor and Gourmet Vapor and except for them burning out in one to two weeks, they seem to work great....
Sorry to hear about your situation....Enjoy...

Its possible the cart is not lined up or just hitting the attie. If you have a drip tip, try that first. If not try shaving a little off the bottom of the cart.
The drip tip solved the problem for me and all I use is DK.
