Problem with Ego-C atomizer & vermillion river e-liquid

[amitgv1]

Hi
I new to this world. I like very much the Vermillion river juice, but when I use it with new original joyetech Ego-C atomizer, I get a burnt taste.
I want to ask if this juice not perform well with this type of atty or even every atty ?

OK. Three step process to troubleshooting the Ego-C tank setups. It's not an experience exclusive to Vermillion.

1) Make SURE the tank hole is punched out completely, not just pushed in or slightly open. Completely punched out.
2) Take two/three dry pulls on the mouthpiece with the tank loaded to break the surface tension of the feeder hole and prime the atty.
3) Repeat (2) after every real draw for the first three draws.

If the atty in question already gave a burned vape then no amount of re-wetting will get rid of that taste. The Ego atties just don't shake off a dry burn like many other atties do in my experience. -Magnus

Just tried these yesterday... and ME's advice is solid... they work well if you get them going correctly...

Check the viscosity of your juice. There's thin (high PG content) and there's thick (high VG content). That said, some VG juices work fine if they have added water and/or alcohol. The field test for thickness to me is to invert the bottle and watch the bubble rise. If it rises so fast it's there by the time you get the bottle inverted, it's thin and will wick well in most anything. If the bubble rises slowly, expect wicking issues as compared to PG.

For a tank or clearomizer, a mix of the two is usually good. Cartos and standard atomizers can use a mix or 100% PG or a thinned VG mix. 50/50 to 70pg/30vg is a good rule of thumb for a mix of the two. It irks me that not all vendors advertise the mix of their juices unless you ask.

The bottom line is trial and error, but that's expensive. There ought to be a standard wicking factor on each juice. I don't know how that would be universally tested and calculated for meaningful numbers, but it would be useful.

OMG THANK YOU! Especially for #2

I have found that cleaning my atty per this video did get rid of the burnt taste.

Thanks for that reference. I'll try that. Overall I'm fairly impresses with these Twist devices. Good stuff.
