Weird taste with a new coil..

[Vaping_Racoon]

Hey guys,

so I use BVC coils in a K1 Glassomizer from Aspire.
When I got my 5 replacement coils I switched one of them to try another flavor so I put it back
in the pack. It took a week or so before I put it back in with the same flavor.

Now I wake up this morning and I get a taste that is way too strong but that is nothing like my flavor.
I'm wondering if I did something wrong here.. I never got this awful taste before.

The coil is almost brand new (served for 2 days) so I don't really think of throwing it away..

Maybe I did something else the wrong way? Could it be a faulty coil? I don't get it..

Thanks for reading!

so you left the coil sitting around somewhere for a week.

oh, if i did that, i'm sure ants would get in it and the flavour would be "Ants"!

Well it was sitting in the pack with the other ones, in the little plastic hole..

Juice can go "stale" if you leave it sitting out in the open. It won't really spoil or grow anything nasty, but the flavor will go off. You can keep using the coil and eventually it should burn off the old juice (after a tank or so...). Or just toss it and use another one. Personal choice.

I think this ejuice can have some of the flavor and other properties evaporating from it due to the oxygen and when this happens it is getting more concentrated.

And it may have a stronger taste in the right circumstances---just my thoughts........although YMMV--your milage may vary..........

Take the funky coil and soak it in some vodka for a few hours. Take it out and set it on a towel until dry. That should clean the oxidized eliquid out.

This is a very good idea you stated----------------another tip is I usually drink the vodka afterwards and if the bad taste is gone I am happy---and if the bad taste is still

there----I am happy..........

Premade coils are cheap and hit or miss.
At $2 each, quality control is non existent.
Could be the coil.

Your too Funny. Love it.

I switched it for now as I don't like that taste.. (kinda spicy and burnt.. really not what I fancy..)

I will surely try to clean em' all in vodka as i switched a couple.

I just started vaping so this is one of many stepping stones.

Thanks folks!

You might have bad taste buds, especially if your drinking vodka you've used to clean coils with!
No really if the funky coil sat for awhile, depending on wick type, flavors change after exposure to air. Some parts of the juice evaporates away and can leave less tasty parts behind. And I've had juice that changes flavor good or bad after being tanked for a couple of days. Part of the reason I like smaller tanks. Clean it and see whats up and if it still tastes wrong just chuck it. If I haven't helped you maybe I've given you a laugh. best of luck.

Well I chucked it for now. Placed in a new one and the problem is no more.
