Burnt taste is one of the worst things a vaper can experience, and it is a very acrid flavor. It destroys the taste of your e-liquid and it can be an indicator that something is wrong with your device. The positive thing is that it is normally a simple issue that can be diagnosed and repaired. Let’s discuss the most widespread causes of your vape burning.
Your Coil Isn’t Primed Correctly
This is the most frequent error, in particular, when you begin to smoke or when you are replacing a new coil. A coil comprises a heating wire (wrapped in a cotton wick). Priming of the coil before using it involves saturating the dry cotton with e-liquid. To achieve this add several drops of liquid to the wick holes that are not covered as well as the top of the coil. Then, tank it up and let it rest for 5-10 minutes and vape. Any failure to do that results in heating dry cotton that burns instantly.
Your E-Liquid Level Is Too Low
As soon as the e-liquid in your tank is low enough the wick holes will be left exposed to the air. When you puff, the coil gets hot, and there is no sufficient juice to saturate the wick. This burns the dry portions of the cotton giving rise to that nasty taste. Always make sure that your tank is at least a quarter full so that you can keep the wick moist.
You’re Chain Vaping
Chain vaping means taking several puffs one after the other, without taking a long break with the device. So the wick cannot even re-saturate with e-liquid within seconds between puffs. The coil keeps heating and the already wet wick burns and dries up. When you are a high vaper, make an attempt to slow down by taking a 15-20 seconds break between the puffs so that you can have proper wicking.
Your Wattage Is Too High
A changeable wattage or sub-ohm device might be the problem with your power setting. Each coil also has a recommended range of wattage, typically printed on the coil itself. To use too high of a wattage to vaporize your coil will empty your e-liquid quicker than your wick can absorb it. This more or less cooks the juice and burns the cotton. You should always begin at the bottom of the scale of recommendation and then increase.
Your Coil Is Simply Old and Worn Out
The coils are not supposed to be permanent. With time, the cotton wick gets clogged with stuff left behind by your e-liquid, particularly the sweeter ones. This accumulation will plug the wick and leave the wick tasting burnt even when it is saturated appropriately. Coil replacement should be done on average of one to two weeks depending on your usage and the type of juice you consume.
Conclusion
When your vape tastes burnt, it is the warning sign that something is missing. It always comes down to the fact that the wick is not saturated with e-liquid in almost every single situation. The only way to solve the problem is to ensure that you cross-examine your priming method, e-liquid quantity, vaping, and electricity output. When all other alternatives have been tried and failed, the best and least demanding way of solving a problem is by replacing the coil with another one.
