Smok Alien 220 Taste issues

[Alex T.]

Ok so I've been vaping for over 3 years now and had this vape for almost a year. Lately none of my coils seem to work properly longer than a day. I never really vape at high wattage but have been trying to vape in the best range listed on each coil. Currently vaping on the baby t8 V8 on 30watts...after a few puffs it tastes burnt. Any ideas because when I've tried the suggested wattage it tastes even worse?

Hhhmmm... Interesting. Have you changed anything? New juice, whatever? Could be you just got a bad box of coils, too. This does happen. Welcome to the board.

Thanks...yea I've tried numerous coils lately trying to find the best flavor/cloud combo. Like the 4 hole coil I'm using now best as far as flavor but can't seem to get a good puff more than 3 times consecutively.

No idea if you tried that but tip i've suggested alot now is : Take a small sewing needle and poke a hole on top and bottom of each juiceflow holes on the coils themselves,that burnt taste you experience i've found was 9/10 times from coils not wicking properly. Doing this little trick seemed to help for the little i used smok's coils.

Lol, was going to say the same.

We need to make that solution a smok tank sticky...

That sounds like an airflow problem, though @QcVaper is probably onto something, too.

Check to make sure you haven't accidentally closed the vents on the tank. It's not hard to do--the Baby Beast can be a first class PITA to open for coil changing.

Do you mean the V8 stick? I've been having major issues with this tasting burnt out after first puff!
