Burnt or Unpleasant Taste
Why Your Vape Tastes Burnt
A burnt taste is a common beginner issue and usually means the coil is dry or worn out. This can happen if the e-liquid level is too low or if the device is used too frequently without breaks.
To fix this, replace the pod or coil if possible, and allow the e-liquid to soak into the coil before vaping again. Taking slower, gentler puffs can also help prevent burning.
Vape Leaking or Gurgling
How to Prevent Leaks
Leaking often occurs when a pod is overfilled or not sealed correctly. Remove the pod, wipe any excess liquid, and reinsert it firmly. Storing your vape upright and avoiding extreme temperatures can also reduce leaks.
Using the correct e-liquid for your device is important, as thinner liquids may leak more easily in some kits.
