Newbie here

[Cella]

Hi all! I am very new to all this. My boyfriend bought me a ego kit about mid October.I wouldn't put the money into it cause I wanted to be able to buy my cigerattes still . I started using it immediately. I have not looked back. I love that I don't wake up coughing my head off I don't smell like an old ashtray anymore either. I am able to brag that I have been off analogs as you all say for 2 weeks and 5 days now. I also liked having that extra money to waste on goofy stuff Ok now why I am posting. I keep reading what everyone says about juice, ohms and all that other stuff that goes way way over my head. I hate the taste of burnt whatever it is I get from time to time. So looking for ideas to get away from the burnt wick deal. A dingy blonde here so try to keep things in simple terms for me.

 

[Panthersoul]

what kind of tank are you using? it could be as simple as replacing the wick/coil.

 

[The Ocelot]

"Burnt" taste is usually due to the wick/coil being dirty or the temperature being too high (or a combo of the two). As Panther said, we need a bit more information on the juice delivery device you're using. The pg/vg ratio of the juice would be helpful too.

 

[Cella]

I think its a ce5. I bought replacement wicks coil/things but a bit dingy..I put them on and they never have worked.

 

[Cella]

Simple cig ejuice no clue about the pg/vg. Sorry really new and way over my head.

Hello,
If you bought replacement head with wicking, is there something written on the bottom(side) of it? Did you get it online? or buy in a store? Was it in a box?

 

[Panthersoul]

Thank you Cella. That tank i rather have yet to see it seems a little awkward of a system

my 2 cents just because im unfamiliar with how they work. i can see a problem if you chain vape with it. I mean umm like the wick cant keep up if youre hitting a few deep inhales. or just kicking back and vaping for like an hour and enjoying.

if you smoke it slowly does it still taste burnt?

 

[Cella]

I bought the replacements online and came in a bag. No writing that I can see. Not saying much though old eyes aren't what they should be. I also bought the whole tanks too. The burnt taste comes and goes. Boyfriend says its just me that he doesn't taste anything burnt.

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

If it is only tasting burnt from time to time then you are not allowing time for the wicks to keep up with the way you are toking on it. Can't hot-box ecigs like you do with real cigarettes. And these cartomizers are not made to last forever. Can you tell us what type of replacement you bought? It may not work, if it is not the same kind that you started with.

Thanks Cella. You said the replacement didn't work. Do you mean would not fire, or it didn't get rid of the burnt taste?

 

[Cella]

They don't work at all..well the 3 I have tried. Thinking they are just duds or not the right ones.

Probably the wrong ones. Oh and now that I look closer you have bought from a site in the UK? Let me suggest you try one of these
Kanger Mini ProTank II w/ Removable Drip Tip

It comes with an extra head and they are very easy to replace. Try and nurse the old one along, by dumping the juice and rinsing the tank out.
Good luck and let us know.

Can you take a pic of what you have? We may be able to help direct you to the right heads if the ones you ordered are in fact incorrect. A picture is worth 1,000 words sometimes

And definitely follow Sugar_and_Spice's advice on nursing along what you have. Also - pulling heavy and hard will cause the burnt taste as others have said - the wick cant keep up with you! It happens. I handle all of my Fiance's stuffs for vaping, hes a brilliant fellow just NOT with technology (which to him includes vaping) he had a tendency for super hard draws - so I set him up on a really simple bottom clearo called an evod. It has wick and coil in the bottom as opposed to the top and it seems to work with gravity and not give him the dry burnt hits when he is overzealously puffing.

Welcome to ecf, hopefully we are able to get you on track! Happy vaping!

Hello and welcome
I like the T3 tanks they are bottom feeding and I don't get the burn taste any more .
Slow draw helps too.
Darker juice tend to kill the coils faster too.
Happy vaping

 

[OlDogNewTricks]

There is a learning curve to vaping. You might want to work on your drawing. If you draw too hard or long, you will dry out the wick and it'll taste burned. Do not try to inhale with a tank. Draw into your mouth like through a straw. No longer than 2-4 seconds at a time. Don't double inhale. Wait 3-5 seconds minimum between draws. If you are getting a burned taste more than once every 10 draws or so, your coil might be old or dirty. If your juice is dark (can't see through the bottle easily) it will clog up your wick faster. Tip the closed bottle of juice. If it flows like maple syrup, you have to wait longer between draws for it to absorb into the wick. Hope this helps, Welcome to the forum. Good luck and have fun!

Welcome to ECF.. I am new too! After about a week of vaping I started using kanger tanks and, if used properly, are the best thing I have found. Youtube has a ton of videos that are helpful to a new vaper. Just type in what your thinking and you would be amazed at what you will find. Just don't type in "dingy blonde"....

 

[Cella]

Think I'm drawing way too long..lol see newbie After reading more and more ordering a Kanger. It tends to look easier to deal with. Just know I'm not giving up.
