Anyone ever have your juices taste like burnt rubber? I have an igo W and my coil came down and touched the rubber seal on the center post. Well its been 5 or 6 hours and I can't vape withought tasting nasty burnt rubber. Even after I switched to my ego style set up and recoiled the igo w thinking there was probably burnt rubber on the coil. I need some advice fast. Thanks in advance!

Did you replace the rubber seal and clean off the center post? I dunno...just thinking you have some rubber somewhere leaching into your juice...

Yea did all that. Weird thing is that when I tried vaping on my ego style set up I still get that taste. I even tried different juices and still the same thing. I've heard of vapers tongue, not sure if this could have something to do with that. If so how do you get rid of vapers tongue?
I've heard using Lysterine can help but usually I eat something hot like some hot peppers and that usually helps me.
Vaper's Tongue is due to an overloaded set of scent receptors in the back of your nasal passage but people think it's overloaded taste buds on your tongue, it's not.
Dehydration and overvaping one flavor can cause this it seems, it takes a day or so to get those scent receptors back on line so to speak.
Big Picture Science Podcast did a show on these receptors and how they effect taste when they misfire.
I switch flavors thru the day, apparently this keeps the scent receptors from getting overloaded and I drink plenty of water when vaping, diluted fruit juice actually.

This might be the case. I've been vaping the same flavor for almost 3 weeks. I guess I need some other favorites. By the way been vaping fuzion vapor's krankberry.
I get the same problem, that burnt rubber taste, usually use Smoktech vivi novas because they seem to have a silicone grommet instead of a rubber one, can't figure out why I am getting the taste with most other ones including kanger and ego's
Doesn't seem to matter if i use a new or rebuilt head, same taste

I'm having the exact problem with my Triton / Kanger T2 tanks, the rubbery flavor. I can even smell it when I unscrew the mouthpiece to dump the juice...So for me, it's not vapor's tongue since I can smell that terrible scent off the used juices! I'm having this issue with multiple tanks and coils!
I have JUST learned of vapours tongue today ( although some say its not about the tongue but about the olfactory receptors in the back of your throat ). I've been smoke free for 4 1/2 months and been loving the vaping. A friend of mine gave me some menthol juice and I vaped it for a couple days exclusively. I went back to my other juices that I had been loving and they tasted like either nothing or chemicals. Let my wife vape one of them and she said it was fine. Did I just overload or fry my sense of taste with menthol?
idk what the rubber taste is, but i wouldnt reccomend an igo -w on an ego.. those egos arent really that safe ive heard.
