Why do disposables seem to taste tremendously cleaner?

What does silica wick taste like? I don't taste anything strange in any of the tanks that have silica wick. Personally the cigalikes I tried in the past have absoutely no flavor in comparison to the tanks that I own (Evod, Protank II and mini, IClear 30).

I've noticed a slight silica flavor in the past - it's very subtle. But, if you have a ProTank, join the Cotton Club, you won't regret it!

Hey guys, one of the things that simply got me into vaping is the disposable e-cigs. I've tried Blu, Njoy, Premium, Logic, Offbrand, Who Knows What Else Over The Years, and tonight, Imperial Hookah.

The disposable e-cig that made up my earlier vaping experiences was the Blu's Disposable. They don't make them the same way as they do now (different juice, different internal build I believe), but back quite a few years ago, they were pretty great - they didn't last long, but the flavoring they used from Johnson's Creek, to me, tasted like caramel popcorn - they were unlike any disposable, and produce quite a ton of flavor and vapor.

Since then, I've tried various disposables throughout my journey, and the usual result is always this: they taste cleaner than anything I've ever gotten out of a tank or clearo. The only exception, believe it or not, is Cisco's atomizers.

Why is this? How is this possible? I just bought Imperial Hookah's disposable from a nearby gas station, it's made in China and all good such, yet it tastes pretty darn remarkable, almost exactly as clean and tasty as actual hookah (which I'm a fan of.) There's no silica bite, there's nothing muddying up the vape, it is extraordinarily clean and pristine. After about 20 puffs, I'm starting to taste the ever so slightest hint of possible polyfil, but it is like - %5 of how nasty the vapor is from the usual silica wicks. It's miniscule at worst.

How are the internal aspects of these disposables actually built? What makes them taste so remarkably clean? I don't even get this taste when I've turned around and bought the "cartridge" version kits of the disposable brands (certainly not with Blu - suck, suck, suck.) But in the disposables? The vapor is as clean as hookah smoke! This is what I want to get out of my devices, this is what soothes my throat! Silica feedoff and cotton feedoff gives me asthma and coughing attacks! And it tastes muddy and dirty!

In the words of Rasputia on the Eddie Murphy film Norbit, "Why 'fo come!?"

hasn't even tried a carto tank or a rebuildable and seems not to like anything he has tried?

$26.70 and a month's wait, and you could have had a near 1:1 replica of one of the best RBA's on the market (some would even say better, because the original does not have an airflow controller).
$26.70 Kayfun Lite Styled Rebuildable Atomizer (4.5mL) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
another $50 and you could get an eVic off of the classifieds here.

It might not be the absolute best vaping setup money can buy, but you would certainly be in the ballpark.

Oh good lord no. Not a Kayfun (of any type/flavor)! It took me a few days to figure out how to get my Rocket running well and it's still not quite where I want it to be. It took me a day to figure out how to get CE4's to run well. I think GN spent years on the CE4's. You do the math.

IMO if it's going to be a RBA/RDA let it be a dripper. No tank to worry about feeding from. Almost hard to short them unless you're setting up with mesh. Very easy to change the setup because there's no tank full of juice. Much better in my opinion :thumb:
