joker23 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 So I've had my eGo-T for a about a week now, and its my first e cig. And I am starting to get a burned smell and taste form my atomizer. It still produces plenty of vapor, but there is just always a slight burned taste, and inhaling is making me cough again. What do I do?? please help!

Jeffb Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I hate to tell you this but I dont think you can do anything. Its happened to me and I just toss it and get another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Time to change out your atomizer. It happens from time to time. Could also be that you're chain vaping without letting the liquid enter into the atomizer which is burning it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 One thing you may want to try. Take a needle (a small one) and run it down the inside of the tube. This will put a small gap in the wick and allow the juice to flow better. I was lucky with my first couple of tanks and they worked fantastic. I had a couple of regular ones and a couple of LR's that were just great. Since then, they've been hit and miss. I've had a couple that just sucked right off the bat and I couldn't get them to do any better. I tried soaking them in hot water, but that didn't help. There was one that I started getting dry hits on (lots of vapor, but with a burning taste) and using the needle did work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) I haven't tried this yet - don't have precepts and can't get a good hold it with needle nose pliers. Edited June 9, 2011 by Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurrycaine3000 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I try to clean my atty's every couple of days. I just put them in a mug, and pour boiling water on them. let them soak a few minutes, and then blow out the excess water, and I'm ready to go. tends to really clean up the flavor pretty well.

xenafan33 Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 5]I also sometimes get that burn taste and it's nasty so I usually get a new cartomizer... I hate that I seem to go through a lot of cartomizers so at the first of the month I buy two packs of them and they last me a month... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 This might help you cleaning your tank atty One warning, if you are cleaning a LR tank atty, doing the dry burn to the point that all the coils are orange, can pop your coils. When cleaning my LR ones, I am very careful when doing the dry burn, as to not allow the coils to stay orange longer than a second. Also, I don't use a toothpick to knock the ash off the coils. I use a small brush that is used to clean between teeth braces. The bristles are very thin and less likely to damage the coils. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PADave Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I would take Sharon's advice. She is the queen of tank atties! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
