Tried mouthwash on atty but...

[Vapist]

I still get a crappy taste, that metallic, nothingness flavor...blech! I know I'm doing something wrong. I got my new Joye 510 and I have to say they're incredible with the vapor, I totally love mine. I'm just a bit baffled about that burned taste.

I read about everyone cleaning theirs with Everclear or mouthwash, so I gave the mouthwash a try on a brand new atty after blowing out all the primer I could. I let it dry for about 6 hours, primed it with a few drops of ECO Pure, but the flavor is still...meh. Not so disgusting, but not nearly as excellent as it was at first. Very weird.

Anything I missed, or any more suggestions? Has anyone been stuck with an atty that just doesn't want to give up it's stank?

have you tried new or cleaned carts?

 

[Vapist]

Yup, I probably shouldn't have left that out but I started with a fresh new cart, dripped it up and primed the atty. It still kind of tastes like cardboard, not much flavor.

I've been detecting a little bit of a chlorine taste on mine recently when the atty isn't completely wet. Dunno if it's always been there and I haven't had the taste buds till now.

I had a couple atomizers get fully gunked up off some "rootbeer float" juice and tried bathing in Listerine. Atty works fine now.. but I don't think I'll ever get the listerine taste out of it. :/ I think these will be menthol atomizers in the future.

UD.

Its weird because when I first got these, they tasted great. All I did was blow out the primer on the attys, load them up and I was in heaven. But a day later or so they started losing flavor.

They do have a slight chlorine-ish taste, or something, just kind of bland. But that English Toffee flavor is barely detectable

I use Crest Pro Mouthwash and then rinse off and then let sit in distilled water over night. Then, using unflavored VG in loaded cart, I'll puff, without inhaling for just a little bit which usually gets rid of any residue mouthwash taste.

Maybe I just didn't let the atty dry long enough or something? When you drip directly on the atty, do you really douse that sucker? Like 2-3 drops? I seem to get better results that way but these have really only been in use for 3 days. So maybe I just haven't really lost that primer yet.

 

[M & M]

After I take it out of the water I blow real hard, several times, on both ends.
I always rotate my attys so they sit for days to dry. At least let them dry overnight.
Just a couple drops at a time so you don't flood the atty.

 

[FadedLine]

Yep, I do at least 2 drops. 3 if it's really dry and nasty tasting.

 

[Vapist]

Excellent, thanks all! I probably just tried to vape too soon, now I'll do the mouthwash again and make sure to let them sit over night at least. We'll see how that goes.

I need my Toffee flavor back

An atomizer that you have been using can generally handle somewhere in the range of three drops.
But once you clean it, it needs six or more drops sometimes to get rolling.

When I have a completely clean atomizer, or one I have thoroughly blown out, I put three drops on the bridge and let it sit for a few minutes. Then I put another three drops on and let that sit for a minute. Then I'll try it and see where things stand.

As you learn more about atomizer construction and function, it will make sense.

 

[Vapist]

I think that's the biggest problem, I didn't really let it sit at all after 2-3 drops. Ecigs rock, but there definitely is a learning curve. I did mouthwash another atty though, so we'll see if I get this one right
