Are you tired of that unpleasant burnt taste ruining your vaping experience? We get it – nobody likes a burnt-tasting vape. You’ve put time, effort, and money into finding the perfect e-liquid, so it should always taste great.
In this blog, we’ll explore the various reasons why your vape might taste burnt and, more importantly, how to fix it. Let’s get started!
Changing Your Coil
If your vape starts tasting burnt, it’s often a sign that your coil needs a change. Coils are essential components in your vape, and over time, they wear out. Changing them is easy and doesn’t cost much, especially when compared to traditional tobacco cigarettes.
The coil of vape works the same way as the heart for the human body, responsible for heating the e-liquid and turning it into the delicious vapour you inhale. Coils have a lifespan of about 1-2 weeks for the average vaper. However, if you don’t vape very often, they could last up to a month.
Fix:
Replace the coil in your vape. If you’re not sure how to do it, don’t worry. We have a handy guide on How to Change a Vape Coil. You can also check your device’s instruction manual for guidance. If you prefer a more hands-on approach, feel free to visit one of our vape stores, and our friendly staff will be happy to assist you.
Topping Up Your Tank
Another common reason for a burnt taste in your vape is not having enough e-liquid in your tank or pod. Picture this: instead of turning your e-liquid into vapour, the coil ends up burning the wicking material inside. This leads to an unpleasant, harsh, and acrid taste that no one wants to experience.
Fix:
To prevent this, keep your tank consistently topped up with liquid. Don’t let it get too low or, even worse, run out completely. This practice not only ensures a better taste but also prolongs the life of your coil.
Priming Your Coil
When you first install a brand-new vape coil, it’s crucial to prime it before using it. Priming means filling your device with e-liquid and giving it enough time for the liquid to fully saturate into the cotton-wicking material before your first puff. If you don’t wait for the cotton to absorb the e-liquid, you risk burning it, leading to that unpleasant burnt taste.
Fix:
Always prime new vape coils before using your e-cigarette. If you’re not sure how to prime your coil, check out our guide on How to Prime a Vape Coil to Prevent Burnout. It’s a simple step that can make a big difference in your vaping experience.
Adjusting Your Power Settings
Most vapes have adjustable power settings, allowing you to fine-tune your vaping experience. Lower power settings produce a cooler, milder vape, while higher settings create a warmer and more intense experience. However, setting the power level too high can overwhelm your coil, leading to a burnt taste.
Fix:
Start with a lower power or wattage setting on your device and gradually increase it until you find the perfect level. If it tastes even slightly burnt or too hot, dial it back. Also, check your device’s manufacturer guidelines for the recommended wattage range.
Matching Coil Resistance
Many vape brands offer coils with different resistances. When you get a new kit, it may come with two different coils in the box, and these coils can have varying resistances. Different resistances require different power levels to perform optimally.
Fix:
Make sure to adjust the power or wattage of your vape to match the resistance of the coil you have installed. Consulting the manufacturer’s recommended wattage range for your coil or e-cig device is a good practice to ensure you’re getting the perfect experience.
Choosing the Right E-Liquid
Selecting the correct e-liquid for your vape kit is crucial. Each vape kit is designed to work with a specific type of e-liquid, and using the wrong one can lead to problems like a burnt taste, coil damage, or even leaks.
Fix:
Choose the correct e-liquid type for your device. Pay close attention to the VG content. If you’re unsure which e-liquid to pick for your kit, feel free to reach out to us for guidance.
