I'm having a huge flavor issue with my tanks. I keep getting plasticky/rubbery flavors with my replacement coils. I'm using 3.2 Ohm coils at 3.5 V! ... I get this horrible flavor and also the juice in tanks smells like that too when I take out the mouthpiece to dump it. I've been cleaning the coils and wicks like a mad man...I don't see any burns or gunk accumulation in the coils either.
I think the wicks are getting enough juice since I don't hear much crackling sounds. I put down the silicone sleeve until its top is flush with the top of the center metal post. And screwing in the mouthpiece pushes it further down. With this I minimized the crackling sounds.
Some people suggested that sometimes one of the coil legs gets hot and the rubber grommet gets burned. Is there anyway to test this before using and/or fix it?
Can battery cause this too if something is not aligned? I don't see anything obvious. It's a simple Triton VV anyways. Can its voltage be too much off than what it's supposed to be?
Thanks, any help will be appreciated.
Edit: I just saw this in another forum...
The only time I have had plastic-like taste with a Kanger product was when I was rebuilding coils. If you get a hot leg it can melt the rubber grommet in the head.
I am not sure if the could happen with stock heads but I would recommend cleaning the base with water, drying it well and sticking it on a battery and fire it in 2-3 second bursts until it gets orange. Turn off the lights and see if the leads going to the base are turning orange as well and burning the rubber in the base.
