Why does the electronic cigarette taste bitter
Why vap bitterly? The answer to this question is connected with the device of the atomizer and the peculiarities of its work during the soaring. It does not matter what type of evaporator is used - clearomizer, dripka, bacodrip. All the same, the principle of soaring is as follows: the slurry supplied by the wick to the heated spiral evaporates and vapor is formed. If a liquid is not enough, the cotton wool (thread) burns, and plaque forms on the incandescent coils. It gives unpleasant taste to the inhaled pair.

Causes of the phenomenon and their elimination
When used properly, vape does not taste bitter, there is no unpleasant taste in the mouth, and it does not burn in the throat. If the e-cigarette gives off the fumes, then the reasons for this phenomenon may be different - they are presented in the table below. There are also ways to eliminate them.
It is worth noting that for Eleaf ijust s, ijust 2, the products of Joyetech and other companies, due to the general principle of operation of their steam generators, the causes of the taste of burning are the same.
№ | Causes of bitterness | Remedies |
1 | There is no water in the slurry for floating, which is typical of cheap formulations. | Replace the used liquid with a new one or add distilled water to the used slurry. |
2 | An electronic cigarette is charged with a very viscous fluid that slowly wets the cotton. | Dilute the composition for soaring or acquire a less viscous, calculated on the power of the device being operated. |
3 | Soaring makes tightening too often, because of what the thread does not have time to fully soak and burns. | They hold pauses for about 10 seconds between puffs. |
4 | Disheveled wick - this applies mainly to serviced models of atoms. | Straighten cotton wool (cotton thread) or replace it. |
5 | The ingress of foreign particles on the vape helix leads to the appearance of unpleasant taste sensations. | Disassemble the atom and check the filament, remove foreign particles. |
6 | The e-cigarette liquid contains a lot of nicotine. | Use liquor with a lower nicotine content. |
7 | The low resistance of the atomizer helix causes an increase in the power of the passing current and its overheating. | They replace the helix with a thread with a higher resistance value or acquire another atomizer, and when there is an opportunity to adjust the voltage, they decrease its value. |
8 | Heater contamination. | Remove carbon or replace the helix. |
9 | Wrong winding spirals. | Disassemble the atom and rewind coils of the incandescent system. |
10 | Use of unsuitable power battery. | Pick up a battery pack of suitable capacity. |
11 | Worn steam generator during operation. | Replace the old atom with a new evaporator. |
If the vape began to taste bitterly with a new vaporizer, then this indicates the poor quality of the selected device.
As you can see, the list of reasons is quite extensive. The appearance of bitterness is mainly due to carbon formation on a spiral incandescent, using untested brands of mods and liquids from unknown manufacturers. Problems can often be solved without the help of specialists.
Carbon removal
To get rid of soot, you need to do the cleaning of the filament spiral.. When self-removing soot do:
- cool vape;
- disassemble the atomizer;
- take out a spiral;
- put it in an alcohol solution that will dissolve carbon;
- clean the vents and other contaminated parts;
- collect the device back.
If the electronic cigarette is still bitter, the steam generator should flush out from the tap for 30 s. Then it must be dried and connected to the battery (not only the atom, but the entire device must be switched). Next, blow the evaporator 6 times by pressing the button. After the wick is inserted, a cigarette is collected, liquid is poured.
If all the manipulations did not lead to the desired result (which is unlikely), then you will need to contact the service center or purchase a new device.
Recommendations for the correct use of vape
In order to virtually eliminate the possibility of bitterness, it is necessary to do regular prevention of the device and use it correctly. For this you need:
- monitor the state of the filter, replace it if necessary;
- do not float until complete consumption of the slurry;
- to withstand pauses between puffs, and better soar;
- once a week to inspect and clean the electronic cigarette;
- keep the device upright, in a dry and clean place;
- close the hoop cap with a cap;
- use high-quality liquid and device from famous brands;
- when self-replacing the wick, use special cotton wool.
In order for the electronic cigarette to work normally, you should eliminate the causes of the malfunctions, and not their consequence - carbon deposits. Only in the presence of a serious marriage will it be necessary to replace the product. Periodic cleaning and compliance with the rules of operation set forth in the manual is a practical guarantee of the device durability.
The electronic cigarette, created to replace conventional tobacco products, is not insured against damage. Unpleasant taste sensations may occur when using substandard vapors even when using brand products, new electronic cigarettes. But, basically, problems appear through time due to the formation of deposits on the spiral of the glow. The causes of this phenomenon are different, but regular cleaning will help get rid of bitterness. It is best to minimize the nicotine content in the fluid - it will positively affect the state of health.
