Hey new vapers! Nothing ruins your day like that awful burnt taste—it means your coil is likely toast. But don’t worry, here’s how to handle it like a pro:
Why It Happens
- Chain vaping (not letting the cotton re-saturate)
- Low e-liquid (vaping on an empty tank)
- High wattage (overpowering your coil’s rating)
Quick Fixes
Prime your coil: Always soak new coils for 5-10 mins before use.
Lower the wattage: Check your coil’s recommended range (e.g., 15-25W). Start at the lowest end and adjust up.
Avoid dry hits: Keep your tank at least 1/3 full.
Salvaging a Slightly Burnt Coil
If it’s just starting to taste off:
- Drip a few drops of e-liquid directly into the coil.
- Take short, gentle puffs (no fire button) to pull juice into the cotton.
- Try vaping at a lower temp.
When to Give Up
If the burnt taste won’t quit, replace the coil. No hack fixes a fully charred one!
Pro Tip: Sweet/dark juices gunk coils faster. Switch to clearer liquids if burning happens often.
