Metallic Taste from Clearos

[pipster]

It seems like all 3 types of clearos I use emit a slight metallic taste with the vapor. I've washed them well before using and it is present with all the various juices I vape. Does anyone else taste it? Is this just taste coming off of the nichrome coils and/or metal parts of the clearos that come in contact with the juice? It has a pretty distinct metallic undertone. I notice it more with one note fruity vapes. I think the more complex juices of bakery or tobacco nature do tend to mask it more, but I still pick it up. I wish there was a way to create vapor without heating the juice directly on metal. On a side note, I am very allergic to nickel when in contact with it on my skin, so far I don't think it's bothering me with vaping, but it makes me wonder if it could.

I have had the same thing. I cannot figure it out either. It seems so hit and miss. I have done the washing too. I wonder if it is what is being used in the coil for what ever lot# I happen to have.

Nothing like a metallic taste to ruin a good pear.

DRINK MORE OJ!

















Someone was going to do it, so I just got it out of the way. Carry on.

Well, any way, It seems I have bought the same thing from the same vender and they all perform differently even being the same make/model. I would like to hear any ideas about the situation.

Please List your:
Devices
Flavors that are doing this(Most noticeable)
Power used - Vaping settings if VV or VW
Hard to find solutions without some Idea of what is NOW producing the effects.

Some are sensitive to NiChrome and others Detect taste from Kanthal((branded)) but different composition)
Thanks

Type of material for the mouthpieces?


I've noticed a slight metal taste from the, obviously, metal ones...

I noticed it from day 1 of vaping. I've been vaping for 1 month now using PT2mini, EVOD and iclear16's, 35+ juices from different vendors and it is always present to some degree. I think it's just a drawback to vaporizing liquid directly on a metal coil, plus the juice also bathing in contact with the metal parts of the clearo... it just is what it is. My theory anyway. I was just wondering if anyone else notices it and if it bothers you.

Delrin. I replaced the metal ones on the PTm2

I saw a video of 10 bloggers giving their predictions for vaping in 2014. One that really caught my attention was PBusardo saying a great breakthrough in technology would be a new alternative to creating vapor, without direct coil vaporization. I thought wow, me too. We might just be absolutely blown away by better flavor! I wonder how much flavor is destroyed and altered by direct coil vaporization. I think that would be an awesome shift in technology and I hope someone is working on it

I edited. Redacting my statement until further notice.

I had this once or twice with iClear 30 S.

Not good.

The best i've found to hide the metallic taste is menthol or peppermint.. it blends right into those flavors and I forget the metal taste I am disliking.
