So I've had my njoy for about a week now and have really liked it for the most part (haven't had a real smoke since last Tuesday, in fact!). However, for the past day or two, I've been getting a strange taste, almost like a melting plastic type taste is the best I can describe it. I've already gone through trying different cartridges and taking a look at the atomizer, which looks exactly the same as when I got it, but can't figure out what's going on. The amount of vapor I'm getting is normal, so it doesn't seem like it's degraded performance-wise. Is it possible part of the fibers in the cartridge have melted to the atomizer? I'm hesitant to try and clean it with water and will be sending a note to njoy, but while I wait for their reply, has anybody else come across this before?

Hi Strokemouth,
From various testing I've done it does seem as if the foam in the cartridge does disintergrate with use. I can't say I'm sure of this, but when I was developing my drip cartridge I found that the cartridge foam was continuing to shrink in size and that I had to keep adding more to keep it the same size. I would try using your e-cig with no cartridge and take 7-10 drags with a fully charged battery to see if it will clean up the atomizer. Good luck.
