New clearomizer, liquid. taste - horrible.

[doesitmatter]

Okay, unlucky for me, i lost my entire e cig. Fortunately, i had an extra battery of the ego c, so i sat home smoke free for around 3 days, untill finally decides to drop by the store. Got myself a new clearomizer, and for some sort of reason, decided to buy a usa mix juice, just out of curiosity (to see if any tobacco flavor will ever hit that sweet spot, even though being a complete hypocrite after telling people in here not to try it as its always aweful.. some part of me hoped for it to be awesome.)

Anyways, it tasted pretty aweful. Like not the taste itself, but the taste it left me..

So i spilled all the juice away after a hour or so of experimenting and filled my good ol sweetness. But the subtaste wouldnt go away - i still felt a horrible after taste. So i wonder - is it some kind of leftover taste from not cleaning the clearomizer? Or is there perhaps some burning taste (not sure its burning taste, but no clue) related to the new clearomizer i got? never had that issue the first time i setup..

HELP!! I actually rather smoke analogs than this, it leaves me such a horrible tasteeee urghh..

Did you adjust the wattage or voltage? Which clearomizer did you get? Have you tried changing the coil?

 

[doesitmatter]

Same clearomizer i used on the previous one (cant remember the name now), i think it tastes kind of.. burned?

Did not adjust voltage or anything like that.

 

[Ou2mame]

Did you try lowering the volts or watts? Do you have those options on your battery?

 

[doesitmatter]

Tried, no use.

Also ill make sure i say this again, im using the same setup as before, got a same clearomizer and all.. tasted fine before, on any voltage

Could be a wicking issue or coil. Have you tried another coil? I would inspect the orings too.

lllgo back to the shop and see if they could perhaps exchange it.. hope for the best.

I find if you don't rinse out the clearo with hot water between flavors that you'll get some residual funky taste, this can be interesting if you're switching between two juices you really like (it's how I found the perfect mix of my fav fruit juice and my fav pastry juice after all) but if you're moving from something gross it will definitely taste weird for a few puffs until you work the old stuff off the wick and it's replaced with the good juice. But for a tobacco, which are usually very very strong flavors, that I'd just swap to a new coil because it'll take a couple ml of juice to work all that flavor out of the coil. Luckily most coils can be cleaned as well as rinsing out the tank. Silica wick will rinse clean pretty easily and you can dry burn it (fire it with no juice) to burn off the crud. Organic cotton rinses clean pretty easily as well, but it doesn't perform the same after it dries out, and make sure you don't dry burn it, as it can't take that kind of heat without going up in flames.

Will try that. If wont work ill head back to the shop. I tried to smoke a little again, taste seems to improve slightly, but still not as near as it used to be

I always found that running warm water in the clearo and letting it dry out first helps as far as changing flavors. I also always draw through the tank without hitting the power button to "prime the coil"
