Strange taste??

[maxy007]

G'day all,
When i fill up my carts using 24mg juice (no matter what flavour) after a few puffs i get a burnt taste from my eGo. I fill the cart and leave it for a few minutes to make sure all the juice soaks in. Sometimes i can do a couple of primer puffs and the taste will go away but not always.

Is the filling supposed to touch the atty? I don't think it is but thought I'd ask anyway.

Thanks for reading

It supposed to touch it - just not envelop it. The filling should be at the top of the cart and you should be able to see a little dimple in it where the atty bridge makes a nest for itself - this is how the juice reaches the bridge and wicks liquid to be vaporized.
If youre getting an acrid taste it sounds like your atty bridge may be too dry - that the juice isnt reaching it efficiently OR that you are vaping too fast - too fast for the wicked juice to keep up. Thats one reason I dumped cart filler and began direct dripping, as it was the only thing that could keep up with my 'demand'.
You could try a mixture of both by putting a couple of drops of juice directly onto the bridge, whislt sstill utilising your filled cart, if you are sure your cart is filled with juice correctly; that ought to stop the acrid taste.

You may look thru here Cartridge Mods to see if there is anything you want to tryout with your carts. I have tried the PTB and the BFD mod and both work better for me than the stock filler and there are others you may want to consider as well. Dripping works for a lot of folks but hard to do while driving.

has this happoned before? Is this the same atty that didn't have a problem?

I had a problem with a brand new atty where (after taking off the wicking and bridge) so its just the coil, i found 3 threads/wicks wraped around the coil causing the burnt taste. I normally dont take my atty's appart or mod them, but the burnt taste would come back after 2 hits.

Thanks for your replies.
I think I was vaping to fast. I've slowed it down and it seems ok now

Good job ! Yep, the filler has to have time to wick down the juice !!!
