plastic taste from DCT tanks or Clearo stardust CE3 type

[Misthold]

Two questions.. why do the Clearo tanks taste like hot plastic, or chemical.. do they need some type of clean before use?

Burnt taste, plastic taste from DCT tank.. I suspect I did not fill the carto enough.. but similar..

Suggestions.. this is getting pretty old...and it IS nasty!!



Thanks!

are you using a citrus or cinnamon flavored juice? Those have a tendency to break down plastic, which may give you that taste if not, then you may just be sensitive to the flavor, in which case I'd have to recommend a glass tank.

Are you doing a Quick Dry Burn and then Rinse before First Use or just Fill-n-Vape?

I did a fill and vape.. what do you rinse with, water? or PGA vodka? I did remove the liquid on the one clearo.. washed with water and refilled and tasted a lot better, but still a little off.. so need to look into try a dry burn next time.. also performance was crap, getting better and liquid did loose some taste for a while again getting better.. I suspect it was diluted from the water..

For Any Filler-Less type Carto, I like to give them a Quick 2 or 3 Second Dry Burn and then a Quick Hot Water Rinse. Then shake out as much Water as possible.

The Wick doesn't need to be Completely Dry before Filling. Just fill it as Normaly. Shake it a few times and away you go. The first 2 or 3 hits will be a tad Weak but after that, it is fine.

And no, there isn't any Real loss in Flavor. In fact, many e-Liquids benifit from adding a Small amount of Water.

my opinion:
Cartomizadores with the DCT, should be filling him bad.
pull the puff without connecting the battery to get more juice into the cartomizador
with CE4 should be the resistance of CE4 and voltage you are using.
may be using a high voltage and forcing the CE4.
or wick of CE4 not being sufficiently wet with juice
move it




sorry my english.

Good to hear things are working Better for you.

Remember, it only takes a Microscopic Drop of Oil on a Wick to make them taste like Crap. Doing the Dry Burn helps ensure that the Wick is Clean and Ready to Go.

BTW - I wonder How Many other people I see who Post that CE3's, or any Clearo for that matter, taste like Crap could benefit from a Quick Dry Burn and Rinse?

I bet that 20% (or More) Clearo's get thrown in the Trash that are Perfectly Good.

I WILL agree with that.. it took a lot of searching and reading to even know that yeh.. may need to rinse.. and dry burn..even so.. lots of mention about Vivi tanks.. not much on clearo tanks... no to mention.. the propper filling method for DCT would have saved a otherwise burnt carto... SIGH..

Instructions would be nice.. not just the hey fill and they are ok after XX time.... the only reason I had "any" clue.. is some of the previous post.. and yup.. trying some stuff back in 2009...

This forum is great.. but the oh just fill and use or zip info with the "part" does nothing to convince others that this is not just to much of a PITA.. compared to smoking!

Also the hey.. try a drip tip.. hey perhaps let a juice sit for a few days.. hey.. use a syringe not just drip a few drops into a carto.. amoung a lot of things.. would be very benifical to many trying to convert!


Sorry a little vent.. "where is my 24 juice" LOL..thanks everyone for the help..
