Question about burnt taste

[KennyJo]

Hi everyone.

Today, I accidentally vaped at 6.1v (27w) and I only felt dense warm vapor and had no burnt taste at all!
I have vaped a few times before finding out I was vaping at 27w (I thought it was 17w).

Normally, if I vaped over 5v (about 25W), I would get a terrible burnt taste.

I have no idea how and why this happened and I hope some of you can give me an explanation as well as some post that could walk me through the relationship between voltage/wattage and burnt taste.

Thanks.

Here are a more detail for the burnt taste set up and no burnt taste (today's accident) set up and both are using the Eleaf iStick 30W and Subtank Mini.

Has Burnt Taste:
28 or 26 gauge, 1 ohm or lower, largest air hole of the Subtank Mini, 5V (25W), normal store brand e juice (60vg)

No Burnt Taste:
26 gauge, 1.4 ohm, second largest air hole of the Subtank, 6.1V (27W), Five Pawns e juice

If the wick is good and wet you may not get the burned taste with a good wick. If the wick is not wet enough you will for sure get a burned taste at high or even low wattages. We tootle puffers can even get a burned hit.

Thanks for the reply.

I have thought about that too..
But I cannot tell if there is a different in the wick since I use the same wicking material and wicking method and the wick look pretty much identical to me...
May be I have done something correctly/perfectly this time... I don't know....

The jump in voltage is normally caused by a bad connection at the positive or negative post. That can happen easily if you forget to re-tighten a coil before you wick it - the heat expansion/contraction from dry firing shakes everything a little loose.

What's happening in this situation is that the bad connection changes the resistance (usually going up), the variable wattage device sees this and compensates by upping the voltage to meet your requested wattage. All the device does is measure resistance, and fire out the voltage needed to meet your wattage setting based on Ohms Law.

Does that make sense?

Actually... there was no voltage/resistance jumping...
The accident of vaping in high voltage was caused by me...
I forgot to reset the wattage when I switching from RDA (Veritas clone) to RTA (Subtank Mini)...

Sorry for the confusion...

burnt taste normally due to the vapor being evaporated faster than the wicks can feed it juice. all this is effected by coil size/gauge/build + wicking material, wicking type and type of juice. Theres lots of stuff that can lead to burnt taste but it all comes down to the coils burning juice faster than it can be supplied.

Thank you for this response. I think my question was answered without my posting it!
