hmm that could be something I could try, but the device is running cool, not heating up, my step father had an issue where it wouldn't go higher than 8.5w and had to change the coil, so I've tried to learn from the mistakes. I don't really know what "burnt" is meant to taste like if you know what I mean, I just know that it doesn't taste right, maybe sort of like plastic if that makes sense? Yeah it's by the same company totally-wicked I think, it says on the box. I just didn't think there would be an issue after a proper clean, change of atomizer and fluid a few times. The PG on UK fluid is more dominant so could the throat hit over time affect your sensitivity to the taste? Obviously in America (Where it has been more established) companies have had more time to adjust things, and althought I'm what you might call a *Cloud Chaser* lol, it just seems that over here they tend to go 70/30 pg/vg for some reason, maybe for a higher nicotine level, I don't know the whole chemistry of it, but it's just what I've noticed. I've just tried what you said, and seems to be displaying the same voltage/wattage regardless, could it be due to the fact that I usually use it at a higher wattage in general. I can't find many guides for either TECC curve 2 or eleaf istick in regards to charging depending on what wattage you use it at and how long you inhale, are these all variables that need to be taken into consideration for a healthy battery life and atomizer, I really am a noob come to think of it, but good at explaining things I guess lol. Also thank you for the quick reply
