Alright, so the other day, I was puffing on my vape, just chilling, you know, and suddenly I got this nasty, burnt taste in my mouth. It was awful! I was like, “What the heck is going on?” So, I started to check my vape, trying to figure out what happened.
First thing I did, I took a good look at my vape juice level. Sometimes, if you’re running low on juice, it can lead to dry hits and that burnt taste. Turns out, I still had plenty of juice left, so that wasn’t it.
Next, I checked the coil. The coil is the part that heats up the juice, and if it’s old or gunked up, it can definitely cause a burnt taste. I took it out and had a look, and yeah, it was pretty dark and gunky. It had seen better days, for sure.
- Take a few puffs without pressing the fire button. This helps to see if the airflow is restricted or if the taste is already burnt.
- Look at the coil itself. If it’s dark brown or black, it’s probably burnt.
- Smell the coil. Sometimes you can get a whiff of that burnt smell, which is a dead giveaway.
Here’s what I usually do to check for a burnt coil:
After seeing that nasty coil, I decided to just replace it. I mean, there’s no saving a burnt coil. Once it’s gone, it’s gone. So, I popped in a fresh one, filled up the tank with some new juice, and let it sit for a few minutes to soak in.
Then came the moment of truth. I took a puff, and… bam! It was amazing. The flavor was back, the clouds were thick, and there was no hint of that burnt taste anymore. It was like a whole new vaping experience.
So, yeah, that’s my little story about figuring out if your vape is burnt. It’s not rocket science, but it’s important to pay attention to the signs. A burnt taste is never fun, and it’s usually a sign that something needs to be changed or cleaned. Just remember to check your juice level, inspect your coil, and replace it when needed. You will be glad you did!
