Why Does a Single-Coil Tank Taste Burnt After Two Puffs at High Wattage?
Calling all experts: with a single-coil tank set up for large vapor production, increasing the wattage often causes a burnt taste after just two consecutive puffs. How can this be fixed? It may be a wicking issue. Which atomizer are you using? It feels a
Calling on all the experts here: with a single-coil sub-ohm tank, as soon as I raise the wattage, it tends to taste burnt after just two consecutive puffs. How can I fix this?
Poor wicking. What atomizer are you using? It is a bit cool, but mainly I want the flavor of a single-coil dripper. Not sure if this is just a limitation of the atomizer. I use the Viper too. The juice ports on this atomizer are small, so thin out the cotton tails more. Triple-core Clapton is about the limit, and the wattage still can’t be too high. I use dual-core, at 35W, and it performs very well with full flavor. This problem is very simple: thin out the cotton tails. That will fix it.
In cold weather, the wicking can’t keep up. Take one puff, wait about half a minute before the next, or turn the wattage down a bit more. Once the atomizer feels slightly warm in your hand, then increase the wattage.
The guys above are right: thinning the cotton makes a very noticeable difference. At the moment, it’s the most practical solution—much better than just re-rolling the cotton.
