Why does my vape cart taste burnt and how can I fix it?

Have you ever had the unpleasant experience of tasting a burnt vape cartridge? For many vape enthusiasts, it is a terrible memory. We invest time and money just to enjoy vaping, but to end up with a burnt taste is disappointing. I had the same experience and summarized the reasons and solutions. I hope this information can help you too.

1. Old coils

If that Wash in your vape pen are old and worn out, they may not vaporize the e-liquid properly, resulting in a burnt taste. Each coil has its own lifespan, so remember to check if it is working well or if it is worn out after some time.

Fix: It is recommended to buy a new one. It is better to buy from the original brand or vape company. The original coils must fit your vape device very well.

2. Wrong coils

If you recently replaced your coils with new ones and found that they have burned out, the problem may be that the new coils are not a good match in terms of performance or oil compatibility.

Fix: You can consider purchasing the right coils from the original brand. This will ensure a good match with your vape device and you won't have to worry about compatibility issues or testing in this condition.

3. The coils were incorrectly filled with oil

If you are just using a new coil, please install it and then take time to fill the coil with oil before use. Then you can test whether it works well. If not, the coil can easily burn out.

Fix: Before use, fill the coil thoroughly with oil and perform a test.

4. Overheating

Most vaporizers have a power adjustment system that allows the user to choose their preferred power level. Typically, lower power results in cooler and less vapor, while higher power results in warmer and denser vapor.

However, using higher power levels can cause the coil to burn the oil.

Fix: Use the right power, don't use a higher one. If you're not sure what power level is ideal, you can increase the power gradually instead of selecting the highest one right away.

5. Low e-liquid level

Low liquid level is the main reason for a burnt taste. If there is not enough oil in the wick, the limited oil will quickly evaporate as the coil heats up and you will notice a burnt smell as the heating continues.

Fix: Make sure that there is enough oil in the cartridges and refill or change the oil in the cartridge in a timely manner.

6. Using the wrong oil.

There are various oils on the market, usually VG and PG are the base ingredients of most e-liquids. E-liquids with high VG content are thicker than e-liquids with a 50/50 VG-PG ratio, which means the coil may not absorb the liquid efficiently. This can lead to possible burnt hits.

Fix: Choose the right e-liquid for your device.

If you are a newbie, I strongly recommend using a 510 cart battery with a cartridge. You can buy a new cartridge once it runs out. Since it is a unit, there are no adjustment problems. The manufacturer has adjusted the coil and oil very well.
