Hi All, First of all many thanks for having me here. I have been vaping now for 6 weeks and as normal have decided to take things a little more seriously. I started with a cheap eshisha pen and bought some cheap clearomizers from Ebay to change every 2 weeks or so, I have now purchased a new battery which is a Evod 1100mah model. Anyway I have this lovely expresso liquid with 18mg of nicotine but the flavour has now gone since I started using this battery, any ideas please, is the battery too powerful for these cheap clearomizers or am I missing something? Your advice would be greatly appreciated but please keep it simple as I am a newbie. Many thanks Dempsey1965

hi Dempsey

here's my idea ;

start with super claened or brand new coil-wick and fully charge battery
you may have been using clogged wick wchich produces less flavor now
and lack of taste may just be coincidence

also on random vapers report that for some reason lose 'the taste' over some time
not an expert but it's got to do with taste buds on your tongue
some people need to resset them from time to time
it happens to me

what you do is vape some different flavor for say an hour or one day and switch back
to you favorite one

if this makes sence to you at all?
hope it helps

Hi All, many thanks for all your replies which all make perfect sense. However what I forgot to add was that the taste was of plastic or burning. Have tried the old battery with a new clearomizer and the plastic taste continues, very strange. All I can put it down to is a faulty or poor batch od cheap clearomizers. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Camberley as is, Camberley, Surrey (?) UK.

Know it well.

OK... deep breath.... and write.

First things first. If you buy on ebay, you'll be taking a heck of a gamble. Much of the stuff on there (especially clearomisers) are going to be next to useless.

If you have upgraded your battery and the vapour tastes bad, there are only 2 or 3 possibles.

1) You battery is indeed pumping out too much power and you are getting burnt liquid. (10% chance)
2) The coils in your clearomisers are getting gunked up (this can happen pretty quick, especially with dark liquids, coffee, vanilla etc.) (85% chance)
3) You have fairly low resistance atomizers and the new evod battery is tipping you over the edge into burning territory*. (5% chance).

*I think it's unlikely you will have bought low resistance, but even a 1.8ohm clearomiser on a battery pushing 4.1 volts can be too much.

Is you battery made by Kanger? Does it have a number on the bottom? P - ????

Hi,

Yes Camberley Surrey UK.
I know the battery seems to be the problem here but why is the taste still there with my old battery and the new clearomizers or 3?

Can you help me out... I think I'm missing something.

New clearomisers should taste fine... if they don't it's probably the clearomiser.

The battery should make no difference unless your old ones were weak (not getting full power) and the new one is too powerful on a fresh charge.

Are you saying that the clearos taste fine on the old, small batteries and then bad on the new, big battery?

Once you have burned one, it won't come back to life. Are they rebuildable ones, or disposable?

There WILL be a logical explanation to all this, there always is.

I'm not helping you am I (?), so I'll drop out of the thread.

If you use a new clearomiser and it tastes bad... it'll will almost certainly be the clearomiser.

Clearomisers (in general) don't last long. I got less than 2 or 3 days using certain models, so I now use ones where you replace the atomiser head.

if you really want to get to the bottom of this, maybe ask on AAEC-UK.

Good luck. :)

Coffee in itself in an acidic item. If your liquid came in a plastic bottle, that could be the cause depending on how long ago the liquid was made. The coffee/expresso could be "breaking down" the plastic bottle to a degree. Not sure if that's the exact reason but that's just my way of thinking.
