Serious Frustration

[Doberz]

Everytime I get a good setup going with a good juice I'm enjoying, something has to happen to ruin it. As some of you might know I washed my Ego this past week. Battery still worked but it killed the atty. I have new atty's so I was like, eh, no biggie. My all day vap lately has been VR Apple Cinnamon and Cinna-bomb. So I get the primer out of a new atty, drop a bunch of Apple Cinnamon in it, fill up the same cart I was using with the old atty, and take a few puffs... I get a nasty burnt cinnamon flavor. So I take off the atty and repeat. Over, and over and over and over, until I finally just filled up the entire atty with juice and let it drip out. NOTHING worked, so I try another new atty. Same deal... Why does it have to be such a pain to get back a good setup? I've been vaping since February, so I'm not a "noob" noob. I've very familiar with these things, even tinker with making mods and such. But every few months a setup will get messed up like this on me, I'll try to mimic it with a new setup, and it never comes out the same. So I end up buying a pack of analogs and avoid the e-cigs for weeks/months out of frustration like I'm doing again now.

UGH! I just had to vent that! I'm so tired of this stupid learning curve and tricky setups. JUST WORK!

Doberz-so sorry. I have read about an awful lot of new atomizers having this burnt taste right up front. I wonder if there is a bad batch out there. Makes one start to think, what are they doing to these things?
If you are one to clean them, try a quick hot water wash with a vodka or alcohol soak. I have done those once, it just never worked for me. Wish I had some insight for you. Hope you get back on board soon. Luck sent your way.

Or you could:

and/ or this:

If you do the above, do it at your own risk. I did this to 2 successfully. I still don't like the taste that come from those bad boys.

I don't see the links, huh?

Thanks for the input! I plan on working on it more tomorrow. The attys I'm using are from my new Ego kit I just got, so you might be right about a bad batch being out there. Right now I'm puffing on some Strawberry Watermelon, but it's not that good. I want my cinnamon back! I'm not wanting to try it in my used attys yet because the cinnamon flavor tends to stick to attys.

True, true, cinnamon will stay forever! LOL
I heard cherry can do the same.

It really is a learning curve. I never got the whole atomizer/cart or atomizer dripping and switched to cartomizers in first few weeks of vaping. They clog up fast and cost more than atomizier/cartridges but they work pretty consistentaly for me. But still had to learn to keep them full properly etc etc.. Best advice I can give is to keep trying and ask for advice there are lots of people here who went through the same things.

I'm never able to get a setup going for long. Either I find a combination I like and I'm unable to repeat the results later, or it works and then I break or lose a critical component, or it just stops working. The past two weeks my secondary has been an E8 (which I ordered by accident) battery and Camel prefilled cartridges. This is just the best thing in the world; the color scheme is way cool, it tastes much better than a tobacco cigarette, and every puff makes me dread the day it's going to stop. Actually, I ordered the cartridges by accident and then bought the battery because I had the cartridges.
