Vision Extreme - removing plastic taste

[K24A3]

Any tips on how to remove the plastic taste from the Vision Extreme carto's?

The previous Vision Extreme's I bought months ago had a clearer plastic, they weren't as cloudy as the ones currently in stock and there was no plastic 'outgas' taste.

I tried soaking them in hot water, and also tried leaving PG/VG in them for days then soaking again in water, but the plastic taste is still there overpowering the juice.

Make certain that the seal on the top isn't touching the coil

The previous plastic they used had a bad habit of cracking with certain juices, so a change had to be made

That!

Or take it apart and soak in some peroxide for a bit.

Ah so it's the inner seal that is burning, replacing the new seal with an earlier one has removed the plastic taste.

I can't get the new seal and mouth piece sitting snug without burning so I'll need to cut out the section in the center of the seal or simply use the previous seals.

Thanks for the help

The seal that comes with it is easily modified also... just trim down the center section a bit or lift it up just a touch. PS a drip tip if long enough will also push this seal down if you have lifted it.

Another tip... If you are getting dry hits, it could be caused by the wick slots and trimming them open can help... if you aren't getting dry hits leave it alone or it may over wick and start gurgling and/or leaking out the connector side.

Both of these are common solutions for most of the CE2 style clearo's... no matter brand/make/model

Yeah everytime I get a new carto or burn away the carbon I always adjust the vertical position of the seal. Too low and it cuts the juice flow on the wick, too high and the juice builds up and gurgles in the coil. Cutting away the two outer notches of the seal seems to help but I think the seal could do with a slight redesign to avoid manual adjustment.

The seal is designed around what the factory classifies as a standard "juice" ... since different juices have different viscosity ( thickness ) they can't make a seal that will work properly for all juices. So for any given design, a juice that is thinner than what the seal was designed for with either gurgle or leak at the connection from over wicking, one that is thicker than the design is made for will have dry hits more often... and of course the one they did design for will usually work just fine.

Just out of curiosity, what tool does everyone else use to cut the inner seal? I'm using a standard wallpaper exacto (small blade), but I'm always afraid that I'll mangle the rest of the seal....so I therefore never cut as much as I would like...+1 for the enlargement of the wick slots, though...

I use a razor blade or a pair of kleins.

I use cuticle scissors....they are small enough to fit in there and curved to make it easier to cut
