Smilimizers Have a funny taste to me

[doots]

I got 2 Smilimizers to try out. Both of them have a filler taste that is very unpleasant. IS it me or does anyone else have this issue?

The cartos themselves are very good.. I dont care for the tips. I took them off and just used the metal tip as a dt.. Wish there was a whistle tip option..

I cant get past the filler taste in these.. Any help?

What do you usually use for vaping? Clearos? The only time I am able to taste polyfill is if I've been using a clearo for an extended period of time. Once I get used to the different device I don't notice it anymore. Although my taste buds aren't very sophisticated and taste is subjective.

I have 3 smileo's in use, and they all taste fine - no unpleasant filler taste. Have not tried a clearo, but have used the mega carts, so not sure if that helps.

Thanks everyone.. No I use t4s and Ike cartos.. No weird taste at all in those.. Just wondering. This is a very profound filler taste like we use to have in the very first cartos years ago.. thanks though for your help..

doots, I think the filler taste is just inherent with carts. I have used clearos and other tank systems and they do have a "cleaner" taste, but as always it is a subjective matter. Personally, I think some juices taste better when using them in a carto as opposed to a clearo. I like the fact that the same juice takes on a complete different taste depending on which system I use. I was a huge eGo/mega carto fan.... then went to clearos and thought I would never look back. Then one day I picked up the mega cart again (same juice) and was surprised how much I liked the difference. Now I just kind of swing back and forth depending on my mood. That said, I can completely understand how you don't like the filler taste.

I love the smileos for a good change, but agree with you on the drip tip. I would also love to see a whistle tip, because the round one is just too big to be comfortable in my mouth. Other than that, I think it produces a great vape!

I've gotten the filler taste once with a Smileomizer. It was because I misgauged how much juice to put in. When I thought I had enough, I took a few puffs, everything normal and then I took a really long drag, and BOOM. I tasted it. I was able to get rid of the taste with a combination of the Taryn spin and adding more juice. I didn't need to clean it out or anything. If this doesn't work for you, please email me at brandon@vapor4life.com.

Given that these are bigger than normal, is there an effective way of cleaning them to prolong their life, or to change flavors? I've seen kits like this :

Cartomizer/Atomizer Cleaning Kit - With 10ml Control Syringe, Luer-lock compatible w/cleaning tubes and instructions

But I'm betting that they are meant for normal size cartos. Is there a good way to clean these larger ones, or do you just keep refilling the same flavor for the life of the carto/smileo?

Thanks!

Very interesting looking cleaning kit. Would be interested to hear what others think about it working with the smileos as I want to get the most life out of them possible.

StealthyTx, I copied this from a different post:

"I simply soak it in 100 proof for about an hour and rinse with very hot water (not quite boiling), and then spin dry. I then try the next juice. I also use this method for my regular maintenance..."

Haven't tried to clean mine yet; only had them in use for about 3 weeks, still going strong! Hope this helps.

Thanks for finding this K9Luvr! I was trying to find this but I couldn't remember where it was . I haven't tried this method, mainly because I haven't gotten to a point where I needed to just yet. If no one else chimes in, I'll try this, this weekend, and report back with my findings.

I'd totally be interested as well! Seems like a very refined version of the turkey baster method!

Yes plz let us know how well this works. I'm getting close to needing to clean one of mine.

Ms. K9Luvr have successfully cleaned 4 Smileos. All you need to do is soak them in 80+proof alcohol for 12-24 hours depending on the juice, then reverse taryn spin them dry afterwards. Just keep in mind a few flavors are harder to clean out of them then others...

Thanx so much; I need to clean one of my 1st ones, it's been a month!
