Sudden Harshness

[d.dutton9512]

I've been exclusively vaping for almost two weeks but today it's developed a harshness. I swapped attys, refilled the cart, and checked the foam for any burns but I can't find any obvious reason for the harshness. I've also noticed my carts aren't lasting nearly as long with vapour dropping off but when I go to refill they're almost bone dry.

I vape a 410 with blue foam darts and no other mods. I havent changed juice or anything either and the atty I replaced it with isn't a new one so its not primer fluid. Anyone have any ideas?

the harshness and the dryness are linked - once my atty gets dry its acrid as all get out so I suppose your question really is are you using more juice than usual or is it leaking out? Could it be that the foam on your dart mod needs replacing? Or have you tried that already? From what youve said above (providing your atty itself is performing the same way as previously) that's the only thing I can think of to look at.

Yeah I have Noticed this as well going to try changeing out my cart filler I'm off tomorrow so I guess I will be useing some TB to change them out and see if this helps.

Well, I tried two other carts and it seemed to go away some. Oddly enough the foam in the bad cart has only seen a few hours use. I can't really see what I did differently with it.

Actually realised I had a brand new cart in my breif case here at work so I put that in and the harshness went away so I have to replace the filler on my other carts to bring them back too life it looks like. Been vapeing on them a few weeks now.

Both filler and foam are washable so try this if you don't want to dump your old ones.
Glad your situation resolved dd

i was having probs with flavor and taste recently. i attributed it to the effect of quitting smoking, but i wasnt totally convinced. i boiled my attys in water for about 5 minutes, and used a dosing syringe to dry them out. TH seemed to get better and flavor seemed to get much better as well. i also stopped taking long pulls and it seems as though i no longer need to make a primer puff (using an M402).

you may just need to clean the atty and not take big hits.

Well the taste came back (this time it was more like the smell of burnt hair) so I just started dripping. It hasn't done much to improve the taste though. When I get home I have a new atty I'll throw in. I'm honestly starting to think something has happened to my juice.

It could be that your atomizer needs to be cleaned.

The only reason I haven't given them a thorough cleaning is because I've read so many threads where people fried them and I only have three for the next two weeks. I may try it on one though just to see.

Any luck removing the harshness? I was dripping and got one of my atties to a burnt plastic taste and am lost on how to get it out too. I've only tried a syringe to plunge it out, but with fresh juice it still tastes horrible. Kinda sad, cause i only dripped on it about 3 different times.
