MadKat Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 So I finally got my clearomizers in from Altsmoke! YAY!!! I also got a pila charger,,,didn't order it so now I have to try and figure out how to get it back to them. Jeesh. Anyway...my clearomizer is filled up with my fave juice and I'm puffing away...and getting a nasty, machine oil taste. Anyone here know how to fix this PRONTO?!? I rinsed it and gave it a quick dry burn before I filled it. I don't know what else to do to get rid of this taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I don't recommend doing a dry burn. It burns the wicking material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadKat Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 maybe I should fill the second one without doing the "cleaning" and dry burn to see if there's a difference? Hmmm...I wanted to save it for when this one dies, but I guess I should test it out. kitsune 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadKat Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 ahhh, 1st one I filled with the peppermint, 2nd one I filled with the Ry4. 2nd one is better and doesn't have the nasty taste. Fabulous.....now can I do anything about the first one to correct my mistake with the clean/dry burn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper Ron Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 If you burned the wicking material probably not, sorry. Maybe try your strongest juice in the bad one and see if that helps? MadKat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I doubt there is anything you do about the first one. The taste may get better the more you use it but I would just toss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummerjims Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Personally I have never been able to remedy a burnt clearomizer. If you find one please let me know, but it looks to me like you are going to have to count your losses on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadKat Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm going to keep working with it while I use the other one. Just rinsed it out really well and will try another juice after it dries. It doesn't really taste burnt...just chemically. If I cant fix it then at least I have my other one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadKat Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 can't remember WHERE I got the idea I'm supposed to clean and dry burn before use! Jeesh :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadKat Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 hey hey!!! I put straight candy cane pole juice in and it seems to be ok! Nasty taste be gone! YAY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitsune Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Glad you got the problem fixed. Sometimes we just learn the 'don'ts' the hard way. I'm just glad you were able resurrect it. I just rinse and vape....I only rinse it out if it feels a bit clogged. MadKat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadKat Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 soaked it in vinegar for a minute then rinsed it out and let it dry for a bit. It seems to have worked out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadKat Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 know what else? While I'm finding I don't really appreciate the flavor of my usual favorite juice, the creme de menthe that I previously stated tasted like toothpaste and the ry4 I'm REALLY liking iin the clearomizer (stardust). I'm going to miss my peppermint ice cream but this will force me out of my comfort zone and to try new flavors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadKat Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 ***sigh*** so all of my fiddling around with this thing has resulted in my losing the little silicone seal ring around the inside of the drip tip that fits into the clearomizer...anyone know how to make a new one? I tried to cut a little ring off the top of a condom from one of my boges but it's too big and won't fit inside the lip of the tip. Dammit! Anyway...CALLING McGyver!!!

MadKat Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 end result DAYS LATER....I decided to throw out the burnt tasting stardust. It NEVER seemed to work or taste right (leaked, nasty intermittent burnt taste) I almost gave up on them altogether...but after using my boge for a couple of days I've decided to give it another try and the one I didn't abuse seems to be working well. Now we're already on to newer and better I guess? I've "heard" talk of an ego vision clearomizer with longer wicks...maybe I'll try that when this one conks out on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
