Taste like plastic

[MiniHookarin]

So im using my Vision Clearomizer that I just bought and it taste like plastic. It was filled up to 1.2ml which is a little over half way.

I wanted to clean it before use so I filled it up with warm water and shook it. Then I put it on my mod and held the button down for a while so it can heat up and dry it a bit.

Does yours taste like plastic too? Or did I somehow mess it up for trying to clean it?

My experience with clearos has been hit or miss. Your method of cleaning should be fine (that's how I've always cleaned mine + blow out as much excess water as you can), but you may need to let juice get up the wick a bit before vaping. I hold it upside down for a few seconds to get juice to the top and then give it about a minute to get soaked in.

Hope this helps.

It might have overheated. Put it in rubbing alcohol for a couple of hours, rinse, and when you dry burn pull the plug. If you can't, make little short bursts and release. It's better to let it dry naturally.

The wick is actually drenched. I held it upside down many times.

I think Susaz is right. I think I burned it. This is awful, its the only thing I have to put ejuice in. No vaping for me until I order and WAIT for it to ship. Geez

I would say keep at it for a bit. I had one that tasted burnt but after a few minutes all was better.

on your new one or when this dries everyone always lets them set after the first fill, but what i found from someone smarter than me was actually put one drop down the center hole to wet the coil and the most important part of the wick, it helps jumpstart the "capillary action" been doing it for a while and never had a burnt taste since. dang sorry about the run-on sentence. VAPE-ON

I will keep trying although I filled it with an extremely strong menthol e-juice that I cant even inhale because its so strong and I can still taste the plastic a bit :-/

Clean it again. here is a link that covers about all you need. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...300-newbies-guide-cleaning-your-atomizer.html
Give it a try. I do not dry burn. I do the hydrogen peroxide wet burn. But you have to get out all of the h2o2 before you can use it. another soak is what i do. I also us a water pick to force out any gunk after.
If you have a VV battery you may have it too high. That will get you a burn in you throat burn the juice and eventually fry the atty.
Hope this helps.
