They were working just fine for a week now and all of a sudden both of them taste like pure disgust, the taste makes me want to throw up. What is it? I've tried washing it out and letting it sit for a day and blowing it out. How is it all of a sudden they both decide to taste terrible? Because of that I had to go back to analogs today and was very upset.

I can think of a couple posible causes. First, you might need to clean your atties better. Try an alcohol or vodka soak. Dry burn is an option as well. If you're unfamiliar with these techniques there's info on the forum. After cleaning, it may take a little while to get them working right. Make sure they are completely dry and make sure to prime them with liquid.

The second possible cause is you, or more specifically your tastebuds. They may have started recovering after a week of not smoking. Lots of folks have reported weird or bad tastes during the transition period. It's also possible your juice isn't the tastiest and you've just been able to notice it. You might try a different juice.

I know for a fact it isn't my taste buds. I had friends smoke it one day and then try it the next and it was the same outcome. Also I'll try cleaning it with alcohol, but how do I know it's completely dry and how do I prime the ego-t? It isn't the same as the regular ego's. Also I tried the juice with my old aty's and they tasted and worked just fine.

It could still be the juice you are using. Some of the juices continue to 'mature' or steep as time progresses, just like a fine wine. They could have reached a stage of 'maturity' where the different flavors have really come together and it just doesn't taste good. It would help maybe to post what juices you are noticing this horrible flavor with and where you got them from.

Chilldy,

I ruined an atty when I first started vaping by letting it get too dry and it tasted like burned rubber/metal when I used it. I had to de-wick it because the white wicking threads were blackened and that was what I was tasting. After that though, you can ONLY DRIP with that atty. No more carts or cartos can be used with a dewicked atty.

I've been using that atty since Oct and it still is working fine! The burnt taste stopped as soon as I pulled out the wick.

It shouldn't have gotten dry. It makes no sense, I was using it going home from class and all of a sudden with a half a tank it just went nasty. Both of them....

Edit: Also using Liberty Flights Liquid, got them about two weeks ago. They've been closed tightly and kept in a good place. I've tested all 6 of the flavors they all taste the exact same. It's a taste I can't really describe, but it makes you want to vomit. They all tasted great couple days ago.
