Hey folks! Let’s talk about that awful burnt taste no vaper wants – the dry hit. Understanding what causes it and how to prevent it can make your vaping experience much smoother.
What is a Dry Hit?
It happens when your coil’s wicking material (usually cotton) isn’t saturated with enough e-liquid. You’re essentially vaping dry or burnt cotton, which tastes terrible and can ruin your coil.
Main Causes:
-
Chain Vaping: Not giving the wick enough time to re-saturate between puffs.
-
Low E-Liquid: Vaping when your tank or pod is almost empty.
-
High VG E-Liquid in Non-Subohm Pods: Thick juice may not wick fast enough in small pods.
-
High Wattage: Power too high for your coil’s wicking capability.
Quick Prevention Tips:
-
Always Prime New Coils: Drip e-liquid onto the cotton and let it sit for a few minutes.
-
Keep Your Tank/Pod Topped Up: Don’t let the e-liquid level get too low.
-
Pace Yourself: Avoid taking too many puffs in quick succession.
-
Match Your Setup: Use thinner e-liquids (like 50/50 PG/VG) for tighter MTL pods.
A little attention goes a long way in keeping the dry hits away!
