What could be the problem?

[Ethan diy]

Hi all good to be here again
I wanted to inquire if anyone can point out what the probkem might be ...
My friends got an -xbaby m2- atty by smok... and it seems that some juice got in under the coil where it caused a burnt taste (thats how he explained it) he says he doesnt know but hes wondering if it could be because of the juice (i sold him the juice).. or maybe something to do with something else...does anyone have any ideas? Anyone run into such a thing?
Would appreciate any shares on this matter
Thx

What he is tasting is most likely burned cotton or other wicking material. It is impossible to burn juice. Ask him to make sure he follows the recommended wattage on the side of the coils.

Would be helpful to include the wattage setting your friend was using and what ohm coils he was using in the tank. Sometimes just reducing the power setting can eliminate a burnt taste.

Some flavors taste better at a lower setting; for instance fruit flavors. Using a higher setting with these flavors can result in a burnt taste.

Once a coil (or rather the cotton wick in the coil) is burnt, it is ruined and should be replaced.

A burnt taste can be the result of not properly "priming" the coil head prior to filling the tank for the first time. This is the most critical procedure in order to experience an enjoyable vaping experience; improper priming can ruin the coil right from the start.

A burnt taste can also result if the wick can not keep up with the way you vape if you're a chain vaper. The air control setting of the tank can also result in a burnt taste.

Trust me, I've burnt my share of juice over the years.

How does that happen?... burning juice?

How does that happen?... burning juice?

At the 3.00 minute mark.



Once the cotton wick burns, the flame can ignite the e-liquid.

Do not try this at home, kids.

Too high wattage, not enough airflow or juice not wicking properly.

Great !!

Years ago when atomizers used silica wicks the term "dry hit" was used to describe a burnt juice hit. Now the term seems to be associated with burnt cotton/Rayon. Silica and SS mesh don't burn but you can certainly get a nasty "dry hit" when using them.

Good to know
