Metallic tasting ego-T

[DrMagick]

Hey everyone,
I recently got my joytech Ego-T kit and love it. Anyways, I noticed that I am getting a metallic taste with some juices (Lighter flavored juices, does not really affect bobas bounty)

I swapped to cartomizers, which fixed it, but I prefer the flavor and vapor of the tank.

Any way to rectify this metal taste in my smoke? If it helps anyone to diagnose the issue, I have noticed a really good throat hit and very good vapor when I get the metallic taste, even with liquids that do not usually give a throathit or good vapor. Leads me to believe that I'm vaping something very unhealthy

Do the atties need a clean before first use? Should I follow Vickies video guide?

I'd be super happy if someone can help me enjoy my ego as much as I enjoyed my sun super 1300-t (gave it to my lil bro and he destroyed it in 1 day lol)

it's usually due to a problem with the wick...Vicky's guide should do the trick. they do not need to be washed first.

What is the problem with the wick? Can you elaborate? I've watched Vickis video a couple times, though I am not sure I understand how the wick needs to be fixed/adjusted?

Did you blow out the factory liquid? There is some nasty tasting factory liquid in every vaporizer to keep the wick fresh. You usually take the vaporizer and blow into the side where you connect it to the battery as hard as you can when it is new.

A metallic taste coupled with a burning sensation in the throat are usually indications that not enough liquid is reaching the the atomizer.

I blew into the battery end until all the liquid had come out, then I wiped it away with tissue. I replaced the tank, the first 3 draws were ok, but it retuned after that!

I bought some isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Should I soak it in that for a while?

Thanks for your input. If this is my problem, how is it fixed?

Cheers

Out of all my Atomizers, there was only 1 which hadn't been used. A tank B type atomizer. I blew all the liquid out of it before using it, and it seems to have fixed it. Yay!

I did try blowing the liquid out of the other atomizers which had already been used. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the metallic taste out of those ones A major bummer since I prefer Type A tanks, I usually get sick of the flavors before I finish a type B.

Reckon if I pull the atomizer apart, rinse them and the wick off, then soak them in isopropyl rubbing alcohol will purge the foul taste from these atomizers? Or should I just buy some new ones?

Sometimes the little flap from puncturing the tank can block the top of the wic. remove the little flap and either adjust the wic up or down.

One thing to consider also is if you are using a thick juice more vg then pg it could just have problems feeding due to thickness. A good mix is 70/30 pg/vg it is just thick enough to not leak but thin enough to feed it.

It is possible that the bad taste already went into the tank. Try a new tank or clean the old ones.

I would not try to clean the whole thing in some sort of cleaning fluid. What you can do is putting it in Vodka for one night, then rinse with hot water and let it dry for 24 hours.

I have had that problem with a full tank. What I do is pull out the tank, gental blow out of vapor in atty, pop in the tank, make sure it is all the way in and I am good to go. I also have the rubber end caps on all tanks.

Good Luck Happy New Year
