RDA bad taste

[Gibby92]

I just bought an IGO-W and I tried cotton and was getting a bad taste so I tried silka and was getting a similar taste anyone have any ideas what I can do to improve the flavour ? I am using 32g kanthal at about 1.6 ohm. I rebuild my pro tanks but this is my first try at a dripper

It might be your juice. What nic level? Anything over 6mg i think is nasty. Also how much pg? Anything over 50 i think is nasty as well.
Good luck

You're going to need to drill out the airhole on that IGO it's a known solution for a known problem with that topper , not enough airflow across the coil will give you a harsh hit .

Thanks for the fast reply I am using 12 mg Nic 70 vg. It's smells bad when I press the button without the top on it also but I will need to drill them out a bit it's to tight a draw

when you fire it wet does a coil glow red,?

Did you clean the atomizer itself? I've had this happen to me a few times. Run it under hot water, then wipe it down. I usually take my atomizers completely apart and toss the metal peiced into a bowl of boiled water and stir it arounf for a bit. Many atomizers and drip tips have manufacturing oil on it still.

No it's only glows red when the juice is gone

I was going to say this exactly, when I got my igo w it had a terrible taste. Took and washed it and it tasted great.

When I clean it is there anything I should not have in the boiling water ?

it also takes a little bit for the coil and wick to break in on just about any build. Especially if you don't torch the coil enough while building it. Don't know if that would be the only thing, but it might be part of it. Mix it with the 12 mg nic (if you normally vape 12 try 6, dripping delivers a lot more vapor than a protank, and therefor a lot more nic) and the miniature stock air holes. Plus the possibility of any machining oil or just plain nastiness from sitting around before it got to you, and you could have a really bad taste coming at you in vapor form.

haggus, hotdogs or shrimp - just clean plain boiling water
