Episode 2 - My E-cigarette has a burning taste !!!

Many of you report your misadventure of vaping, and one of the most common cases is the burning taste, which is horribly unpleasant and involves some urgent measures. Explanations.

Why ?

When you get this disgusting burning taste it's because the coton of your coil has just burnt

Indeed, when you press the "fire" button on your e-cig, your resistance (coil) heats up. It is in contact with a piece of cotton which itself is impregnated with e-liquid to create the steam.

Now, if the cotton is not properly impregnated: it burns, and it is  this taste of burnt cotton that you feel. There are 4 possibilities to have a cotton insufficiently moistened:

1) When first using a coil, you have not soaked it enough in liquid. It is very important to humidify your cotton with 3-4 drops of your liquid. Otherwise your cotton will be dry and will burn at the first puff. To make sure your cotton does not burn, take your first puffs without pressing the fire button. Obviously no steam will be produced but you should feel (even very slightly) the taste of your e-juice after 3-4 aspirations. This means that your cotton is  properly soaked.

2) You love to produce a lot of steam for the tasting a pleasure sensations… Warning ! Set the power of your device according to the type of resistance used. If you use a Kangertech Toptank with 1.5 ohm resistors, and you set yourself to 50 watts while this type of coils can not support more than 25 watts max, you will burn your coil for sure. Min and max power supported are written in small characters on every coils.

3) Your liquid is so good that you keep on vaping again and again… make sure you monitor the quantity of liquid remaining in your tank because on single drag on an empty tank can give you this taste.

4) You are the victim of a peak of stress,you will endlessly vape without stopping, and one more then another ... Be vigilant, understand that after 3 puffs, it is necessary to give the cotton  some time to re-impregnate. If you pull too many drags in a row, your cotton will be almost dry and  will eventually burn. Take a 30 second break  every 3 puffs, as you did with your traditional cigarettes to avoid piercing your clothes with the big red carrot, or pull 3 puffs without pressing the "fire" button until you feel a little " good taste.

!!! Warning !!! These tips and advice are especially important when using e-liquid with a high proportion of VG.

What do do ?

• Stop vaping immediately !
• Empty your tank because the bad taste can remain.
• Change your coils and remember to activate it with a few drops of liquid and by dragging on it without pressing the switch button .
• Give your drags some space.... because it is not a cigarette you have all the time in the world to take your next puff.

You have now understood that, in all these cases it is the method of use that is involved. Coils do not burn alone, for no reason. The better you use your device, the less trouble you will have ...
