There’s nothing worse than an acrid, dry or burnt vape taste rudely interrupting your vape session. You could be mid-conversation when—WHAM—you feel as if you’ve just inhaled a bar of plutonium! You’d ask yourself, “Why does my vape taste burnt with a new coil?” “Give me a sec,” you splutter, as you take a trusty new vape coil from your pack and insert it. But then, to your utter astonishment, you’re hit with that godforsaken taste again! This can be a very frustrating experience for new and seasoned vapers alike, but there’s no need to start shopping for a new kit just yet! If your vape still tastes burnt with a new coil, continue reading for tips on fixing it. Why does my vape taste burnt with a new coil? How to fix: A mistake new vapers tend to make is failing to prime vape coils adequately. “Priming” simply means making sure the wick is saturated correctly before you vape. After adding your vape juice, wait a few minutes before vaping to make sure your coils are “vaped in.” This effortless and straightforward trick should keep that burnt taste at bay! To help this process along, we recommended taking a few “primer puffs.” To do this, just take a vape as you would typically without firing up your device. By doing so, you will help draw liquid into the coils and saturate the wick. A cardinal rule for avoiding burnt hits: Ensure the two wicking ports (the tiny holes on either side of your coil) are never exposed. Failing to do this will significantly decrease your coil’s lifespan and increase the likelihood of hell being unleashed into your lungs! Vaping while the wicking ports are exposed means you are drawing air into your wicking rather than vape juice, meaning you’ll be partly vaping dry cotton! The obvious solution is to always make sure your tank is correctly filled with e-liquid. But don’t beat yourself up too much if you suddenly find you’ve been vaping with an empty tank. If this happens, just refill your tank and prime your coils again. You may have to insert a new vape coil if that burnt flavour is still creeping in. It’s fairly common to accidentally vape at too high a wattage, especially when your mod has a touch-screen interface. After all, it’s easy enough to forget to lock it, so it cranks up to the max in your pocket! As you probably don’t have to imagine, taking a blast at your vape mod’s maximum capacity will not only result in a burnt taste (putting it lightly!) but also the destruction of a perfectly good coil. It’s essential to take note of the recommended wattage for the vape coils you’re using. This info should be printed on the packaging or the side of the coils themselves. If you do end up exceeding the recommended wattage of your coils, the vape juice in the wicking will vaporise faster than it can re-saturate, resulting in a bouquet of burnt cotton! So always check your wattage before you vape, and ensure it’s within the recommended range for your vape coils. If you’ve had the chance to read any of our other blogs, you’ve probably seen “chain-vaping” pop up before. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that good ol’ human nature is one of the most common reasons for a lot of vape-related issues. But can you blame us? Taking lungfuls of deliciously smooth vapour in quick succession is far too appealing! It’s when we forget that we’re even vaping—automatically bringing our devices to our lips while engaged in another activity—that we could create some problems. Getting a nasty, burnt taste and prematurely ending the life of a new coil is one of them! Believe me. I know the solution is easier said than done. But if you want to avoid overheating your e-liquid and improve your overall vaping experience, you’d be best served by taking it a little easier: take a full breath of fresh air between vapes, assign specific times to vape while keeping your device out of sight in the interim, and try to vape more consciously. I know it can be challenging, so don’t be too hard on yourself when you blast through 3ml in a single sitting. It happens to the best of us! The wattage range of a vape coil will often give you a good idea about what the ideal PG/VG ratio your e-liquid should be. In general, smaller coil heads (like the ones for a pen-style or pod mod) require thinner juice. PG (Propylene Glycol) is the thinner of the two e-liquid components, and the lower the coil’s recommended wattage, the higher the volume of PG needs to be. A good rule of thumb is to choose your ratio based on the size of the wicking ports on your coil head: bigger means more VG (Vegetable Glycerin); smaller, more PG. Using a small coil head to vape a high VG vape juice can cause your wick to burn. This is because the e-liquid is too thick to enter the smaller wicking ports and can’t keep the wick saturated in time with your vaping. 6. Check your wick hasn’t become cloggedThough one of the least common reasons for your vape tasting burnt with a new coil, there are reasons it can happen. Your wick becoming clogged mainly occurs when you’re using a high flavour, high sweetener vape juice that can caramelise your coils. If you can’t bear to part with your favourite e-liquid, and changing to a lighter one simply isn’t an option, you’re going to have to take extra care that your wick remains free from gunk! In order not to snuff your poor coils out of existence, we advise that you clean your coils more regularly than the average vaper, and if this fails, you may have to bite the bullet and replace them. In all likelihood, fiends for the viscous elixir may have to be prepared to go through vape coils at a quicker rate than their contemporaries. But we can sympathise—sacrifices must be made to the vaping gods! ConclusionAs you can see, though undeniably frustrating, there are quite a few reasons why your vape might taste burnt with a new coil. Fortunately, they’re often easy to fix. We’re confident that we’ve covered the ones that are likely to be causing you trouble. So follow the above steps and prevent those burnt hits from spoiling your day!

Nothing is worse than looking forward to a tasty mouthful of vapor only to be met with a nasty, burnt flavor meeting your taste buds. A vape that tastes burnt can ruin a vape session and can be infuriating to fix. Many vape users give up trying to resolve the issue and end up buying a completely new device, which can be a needless and hefty expense. Trying to pinpoint why a vape tastes burnt can be a chore because different vapes will taste burnt for various reasons. A few questions you’ll need to determine to begin troubleshooting the root cause, include: Are you using oil, dry herb, or a wax vape? Does your vape have a disposable design, is your cartridge refillable, or do you have a high-end box mod setup? If you're new to vaping, it can feel impossible to diagnose the issue, let alone resolve it. Fortunately, you don't have to worry about figuring out the problem on your own! The experts are here to discuss the most common reasons your vape tastes burnt and the best strategies to follow to fix the issue. We'll also talk about when it's time to replace your device. Burnt Hits vs. Dry HitsBefore determining why your vape creates a burnt flavor, you need to determine that what you're experiencing is a burnt hit. Dry hits are often confused with burnt hits, but they are very different experiences that have very different solutions. A dry hit is the precursor to a burnt hit. Dry hits are caused by a dry wick, which happens when your vape tank or cartridge is running low on vape juice or THC concentrate. You may suddenly realize that your pen is creating less vapor than usual, the traditional flavor of your vape juice is weaker, or there's a strange, subtle flavor that was not previously present. The solution to a dry hit is simple. Just add more vape juice or THC concentrate! Refilling the vape tank will re-saturate the wick, which will allow your vape to produce vapor normally. If you're using a disposable oil cartridge or disposable vape, a dry hit signifies that you need to buy a new disposable. If you take too many dry hits from a vape pen, you will eventually start getting burnt hits, which are less than pleasant. Heed the warning of the dry hit and refill your vape tank or replace the disposable as soon as you can. Why Does Your Vape Taste Burnt?It can be confusing and frustrating when your vape tastes burnt, out of nowhere. So why do vapes taste burnt, and how can you fix it or avoid it from happening in the future? First and foremost, don’t get too stressed when your vape tastes burnt, as it’s more common than you think. Plus, you can easily fix the problem. Vapes that taste burnt typically come from the atomizer coil’s wick being burned up and dried out. When a dried-out coil heats up, it’s only natural that it’ll produce an unpleasant, burnt taste since the wick that’s supposed to heat up the flower you’re trying to consume itself burns. Also, you might experience a vape tasting burnt when the wick isn’t getting fully saturated by the concentrate. Instead of heating up the concentrate, the wick will char itself, which produces a hit that tastes like burning, or what’s known as a ‘dry hit’. Too Much WattagePumping in too much power too quickly is a quick way to burn your wick, even if vape juice is present. This is usually an issue with box mod-style vapes, which sport a powerful battery that can output a massive amount of power. To avoid this issue, start at a low power setting and work your way up until you find that vaping sweet spot. Vaping Too Much Too QuicklyIf you are taking large drags back-to-back, you may exhaust the vape juice that was soaked into your wick. If you vape faster than the wick can draw up vape juice, you'll end up burning the wick, resulting in a scorched flavor. Vaping the Wrong Kind of E-liquidDifferent vape tanks are built to handle different kinds of vape juice. High vegetable glycerin (VG) vape juices are thicker and contain more sugar than other vape juice mixes. The result can be a clogged juice or vapor path, preventing vape juice from flowing freely, resulting in the vape juice scorching. Old or Scorched CoilsIf you have a refillable vape tank, you may taste a consistent scorched flavor because your coils are old. All vape tanks will eventually need their coils replaced (or the entire tank replaced), as the march of time is relentless upon all things. If you have confirmed your wick is not scorched and note that you have plenty of vape juice and still taste a burnt flavor, it is time to replace the coils. If your vape tank does not have replaceable coils, you'll need to buy a new vape tank. Most rebuildable atomizers (RBA) can exchange coils, though this feature is rare among disposable cartridges or disposable vapes. What's the Best Way to Prevent Burnt Hits?Now that we know what causes burnt hits, it's time to learn how to prevent them in the first place. Remember, your primary goal is to keep the wick from burning, and there are several ways to do so. Keep Your Vape Tank FilledThe most common reason wicks get burnt is that there isn't enough vape juice in your vape tank. Regularly filling the tank before it starts to get empty is the easiest, most straightforward strategy to keeping your wick protected and avoiding burnt hits. Prime Your CoilsIf you use a vape tank that allows you to replace your wick, you should have the ability to prime your coils. This means you pre-soak your wick manually before turning your vape pen on and letting it sit for around 10 minutes. The steps to priming your coils will vary from product to product, so be sure to study the accompanying manuals that come with your vaping equipment. Avoid Installing Too Much Wick MaterialOverstuffing your coils with too much cotton or other material is an easy way to get burnt hits. Too much wick material means your wick will have a tough time becoming completely saturated, which means there will always be a part of the wick exposed to direct heat. This increases the chance that you burn your wick, which creates a scorched flavor. Ensure you follow the manufacturer's instructions on what kind of wick to use and how much material to use. Use the Right Vape Battery with the Right Vape TankEven if a vape tank can physically attach to a vape battery, this doesn't mean they are genuinely compatible. If you have a vape battery that is extremely powerful connected to a vape tank with modest power requirements, it will be very easy to fry your coils. This ruins your vape tank since there is no way to unfry scorched coils. As we said before, it's a good rule of thumb to start with a low power setting when using a vape tank for the first time and work your way up. We recommend that beginners buy vape kits (vape batteries paired with an ideal vape tank) to avoid running into incompatible equipment. Regularly Replace Your Vape CoilsIf you are using an RBA-style vape tank, regularly replacing the coils on a set schedule is a fantastic way to avoid getting nasty, scorched hits. It's the same idea as getting new tires before you get a flat. Replace your coils when you know they are close to the end of their life but before they begin to fail and produce burnt nasty-tasting hits. Other Ways to Avoid Burnt HitsThere are a variety of different ways to avoid burnt hits, depending on your vaping device. While less common, the following techniques could help prevent getting the occasional nasty burnt hit. Use the Right Vape JuiceMost vape devices are not built to handle high concentrations of VG (likewise, the vast majority of vape juice available has at least a 1:1 ratio of VG and propylene glycol (PG). This ratio will rarely cause issues for your vape tank, nor will vape juices with higher concentrations of PG. Use a Disposable VapeThe likelihood of you getting burnt hits from a disposable vape are meager (unless the device has some kind of defect). If you don't like the idea of having to constantly maintain your vape tank, consider switching to disposables, like the Firefly Mini. The battery is designed for the attached cartridge and is charged with enough power to run out at about the same time the oil does. Switch to Dry Herb VapingDry herb vapes that use convection heating will rarely if ever, give nasty, scorched hits. The reason for this is the temperature of the heating chamber is never high enough to cause combustion, so you never actually "burn" the dry herb or marijuana inside. You will eventually exhaust the dry herb, but you won't ever get a burnt hit. If you like the idea of vaping dry herbs with a high-quality device to avoid burnt hits, then looking at the Firefly 2+ is a great place to start shopping. How Can We Stop Our Coils From Burning Out?Unfortunately, all coils will eventually burn out. Though you can't stave off the certainty of entropy, there are a few steps you can follow to stretch the life of your coils as much as possible. Remember, you need to regularly replace your coils (or eventually replace your vape tank) regardless of whether you follow these steps! Avoid Using Too Much Power Too QuicklyIf you crank your vape to the highest possible temperature the first time you use a vape tank, you run a very good chance you will roast your coils. Even if the coils are rated for the temperature level you want to use, pushing a surge of power through a cold coil could ruin the sensitive electronics involved. Start slow and work your way up to your ideal temperature! This is especially true if you were storing your vape in an abnormally cold location. Of course, you shouldn't be keeping your device in extreme temperature conditions anyway. Avoid Overusing High-VG Vape JuicesVG juices are generally very thick and have high sugar content. Over time, this will create buildup on your coils more quickly than other juice ratios, which will cut the life of your coils short. If you are sold on vaping high-VG e-liquids, be sure to buy a vape tank that is specifically designed to handle the unique properties VG juices have. Clean Your CoilsSince residue buildup is a common culprit for coils burning out, keeping coils clean is a great way to extend their life. Again, not all coils can be cleaned (especially if your cartridge is disposable or the vape tank isn't designed to be disassembled), but for those that can, clean them! Most coils follow a simple cleaning process of allowing them to cool and using a cotton swab soaked in rubbing alcohol to gently rub off residue. Your specific vape tank may have unique steps for coil cleaning, so be sure to follow the detailed instructions provided by the manufacturer. Refill RegularlyAs we have mentioned, the absolute best thing you can do to avoid getting burnt hits is to regularly refill your vape juice tank. Many tanks are designed specifically for easy refilling, which may be attractive if you hate the idea of having to periodically clean up vape juice messes. Keep your vape juice tank primarily full most of the time and will bring your experience with burnt hits to a minimum. ConclusionBurnt hits are nasty, gross surprises when they come. However, if you follow our advice above, you'll find that burnt hits will be few and far between. It takes some effort and due diligence, but the work is worth it to consistently have delicious tasting vapor! If the work to avoid scorched hits from a refillable vape tank isn't attractive to you, consider moving to disposable vapes. They take the work out of maintaining a device, and while burnt hits are possible, they will be exceedingly rare. If you enjoy vaping THC-oil , consider picking up the Firefly Mini (the premium choice for disposable THC-oil vapes). If you want to move away from vaping oils or e-juices altogether, vaping dry herbs or cannabis flower may be an attractive option. If you're new to dry herb vaping we’d recommend considering Firefly 2+ which will offer an incredibly smooth, satisfying dry herb vaping experience.
