reduce the burnt Taste in a 510

[Transformer]

I've been getting a nasty burnt taste on on 510 lately and it looks like the filler at the top of the cart wasn't getting enough liquid for the atomizer. I had to either wait longer between puffs or had to add few drops of liquid to it to get it wet enough to vape. What a pain but then one day I accidentally took a couple of drags without pushing down on the battery button and I got a mouth full of juice and when I activate the battery the burnt taste went away. Now I take a couple of short drags before I push the battery button to activate the battery. I have not gotten the burnt taste since I've been doing this except when the cart went dry. Those of you who has this problem give this a try.

Excellent find, I'm trying this method on my 510 and it works.

Try inhaling 2 seconds before pressing the button. It helps with the flavor

glad this works for you too.

That is caused by the filler getting dry in contact with the atty and not wicking. There is too much filler for the liquid to travel. If you want to avoid this just try the link on my signature.

This sound similar to what I do once in a while which is I just do a quick "suck" on the cart without pushing the button which seems to reduce any flooding and help keep the contact area between the batt and atty dryer. I also think it may provide a little "vacuum" to draw a little bit of e-juice from the cart too.

Just a short, hard quick draw once in a while seems to work for me.

Besides suck on it without the battery on I also only fill the top flat part of the cart with filler. The rest of the cart are all liquid. This helps a lot.

thanks for the tip

had the same problem with mine.

used the same method and it works

I just tried the combo of the 2..cutting the filler 3/4 off and then a little suck without the battery on. Works like a charm! Thanks for the tips!

 

[MarlinPie]

ima try that too..

 

[wingscup]

Yeah..it works great. Knock on wood, I haven't had that burnt taste since doing both

My only problem has been when I re-fill my carts, I sometimes put too much filler in them...I figure this is part of the learning curve...Only been vaping for a couple of months...So, with time,,,even I will learn how to fill a cart properly.....Might have to work on this for the next 10-20 years to get it just right...Again, Welcome...and Enjoy..

If I find a dry or burnt taste and I know there should be more juice, hold it from the cart end and give it a few shakes. Be careful that the body of the e-cig doesn't fly off the cart (hold it on the atty) and be aware that juice might start leaking from the atty end.

I am new and haven't ordered yet, good to see some great information in case I run into this issue!
