So I have had numerous problems with it. My pods started to taste burnt after a couple of hits on it and it being brand new. Yes I let it soak for a while, yes I made sure it wasn’t leaking, etc. I don’t know what else to do. I returned it and got a new one but it still does the same thing. What am I doing wrong?

What VG/PG ratio are using? Maybe try 50:50.
I used a smok Infinix for many months as my all day vape. I retired it since I ran out of pods but I still like it. I never got a dry hit with it except when I wasn't paying attention and vaped it completely empty--haha!
Do you vape outdoors? Getting cold out and e-liquid becomes more viscous when it is cold. I know that caused problems with the wicking on my Suorin Air last February.

Hmmm I do not vape out doors so I know it’s not the weather. But my juice is 70/30 so I may try to add some VG in there. Interesting
I use the Fit.
It is very important you use a liquid specifically made for pod systems.
If you use a liquid with too much glycerine (VG) you will get dry hits and poor performance in general.
The liquids for cloud atomisers are more than 70 percent VG and works poorly, if at all, in a pod system.
I use a liquid which is 70 percent PG and 30 percent VG, very fluid in appearance.
Hope this helps,

I have been looking for people having this issue. I’ve had my infinix for months. I got it pretty much as soon as it was available. It has worked perfectly for the entire time. I recently got a new batch of pods and everything went south. They immediately taste burnt and hot. Flavor is terrible and it burns through juice. I have tried 2 separate vendors and have had the same result. It appears to be a change in the pod. Compare the look of your pod to the picture on the box. If the base of the chimney is much larger than the picture it means you got the new(....ty) pods.
If anyone knows if this is a permanent change or if I just got unlucky I’d love to know. Might be time to switch kits. Again.

I disagree. Anything high pg should work. It doesn’t have to be designed for a pod
I noticed some changes to the pods and posted some photos in this topic--> Smok Infinix
I also got the Infinix and most of my pods when it was first released. Much later, I did buy a pack of new pods and noticed some changes but by that time I wasn't really using the Infinix regularly.
Do you have a photo of your pods so that I can see the difference in the base that you are talking about?
Thank you for the photo. All of my pods had predated that change.
I find with Pod systems, you can run higher vg but you do have to go overboard when first setting them up. I would fill the pod and have about 20 puffs without it being on the battery.
Then have really short puffs for the first 10 mins.
If I havent puffed for an hour or so I take the pod out and have a few more draws to rewick it. It can be done but just takes extra work.
To be honest, I find the joyetech teros a far better pod system than the infinix. It's got huge battery life and the pods work better!
I recently got my Infinix for Christmas. I want to love it but it tastes burnt almost immediately. I have watched every You Tube video and have read everything I can find about them. I don’t hear many complaints about the pods burning almost immediately. I have the Smok Fit and the pods last me forever with no problems at all. I’m not chain vaping, and I let them sit overnight when I refill. I’ve tried everything that I can find. Does anyone have any suggestions?
The Youtube videos may have been recorded prior to changes in the pods that were shown above in the post by Shrubtim. If the videos predate those changes, that may be why you don't hear complaints. ...also a lot of Youtubers get the stuff free from the manufacturers so their videos are often more of an advertisement instead of a review.
The old pods worked great for me but I haven't tried the new ones. It seems the new pods are causing problems.
Either the cartridges aren’t either moving or soaking up the juice, or the mod is putting out so much wattage it’s burning the coils anyway.
Could be a badly manufactured mod. Easy test is put the atty on a known good mod and see if it has the same problem. If it doesn’t there is something wrong with the mod. A more exacting test is to actually measure the output of the mod when fired and see how it compares to what it says it’s doing. A couple of ways to do that. A multimeter is one.
Could also be counterfeit coils. That one you test by getting some coils you KNOW are real and trying it again.
Could also be merely a PEBKAC problem and you just have the voltage on the mod set way too high.
My advice is to place it in a junk drawer and use the Just Fog MiniFit. I never had burnt hits with the INFINIX and performance was nice, but the flavor would go from yum to yuck fast...and with all the pods. Minifit is THE BEST!! open pod system. Trust me
I own almost every pod system made.Thank you for your help. I think I will take DawnBella’s advice and throw this in the drawer. I won’t waste another pack of pods on this system. I just ordered the Nord, and I’m looking forward to trying that. I’ll try the Just Fog mini fit next. I trust your advice!
Sorry to bump a year old thread. I've got the same problem happening with my Teros, stumbled upon this trying to find a solution, I keep going through pods in a few days. Any ideas? I'm a new babby vaper, so Im pretty stumped
Howdy and welcome
Looking back through the thread the final opinion seemed to be that the device just sucked and to toss it. SMOK just has a miserable quality control reputation I’m afraid. It’s so very bad they’re something of a laughingstock around here.
