Is it the primer? I have been using a super mini 4081 and it always had a sweet taste. I am using prefilled carts and the Marlboro liquid. I only refill each cart 2 or 3 times. Or could it just be that the carts for the 901 are different? The carts that I have for the 4081 are from two different suppliers, but taste the same. Any ideas? I added a couple of drops of Wilton's but it doesn't seem to help much. Thanks!

I hate primer juice, what I do is right before I use a new atomizer I blow it out before I use it. Then I pop in a new cartridge and wait a minute or 2 for the liquid to wick. Refill the cartridge again then start vaping.


This is my first experience with the primer. The super mini didn't have it. This atomizer was soaked in it though.

My first ecig was a true dse901, but I bought my spare atomizer from a different supplier (turns out it is a rn4075). The dse901 tastes great, the rn4075 tastes metallic. Have had it almost a month and it still hasn't gone away :( I only have the two atomizers, so I don't know if it has anything to do with the different brands, or if I just got a dud.

Ah, that sucks! I hope that isn't the case here. I have another atomizer on the way. This one is getting a little better though. I am thinking that I may be getting use to this flavor too and may need something a little sweet.

keep puffing on it but don't inhale. Once that primer is burned off, you'll be fine.

This may be the key. Since I don't use the rn4075 much, maybe I just have to grin an bare it ;) The taste only really gets bad after the juice starts to dry up; and I am getting used to it a bit more. Its so much easier to use the better tasting one though ;)

Oh, I also read to blow into the atomizer from the battery side when you first get one; blows out the primer I suppose. It is possible since I didn't do this, the primer is burned on now.

I didn't do that either. Could be the case for me too, but it has gotten much better, so I guess it is going away. I did find out that the person I bought it from used coffee flavored juice when priming the atomizer, so that could make it different for me too. I hate coffee! lol No offense to the seller!!:D Great sale, fast shipping and works well. I can deal with the taste for a day or two.

HEHE sorry about that! I figured coffee would be better than the nasty primer fluid they use at the factory. :)
