Disposable vapes are the most user-friendly e-cigarettes in contrast to refillable vapes. Most vapers start their transition with a Lost Mary or vapes from other brands. However, it is a real bummer to find out your disposables taste burnt and this happens all the time. Today, I'd like to focus on why disposable vapes taste burnt and how to fix a burnt disposable vape.
1. What Is inside A Disposable Vape?
Traditional disposable kits, including the most sophisticated ones with detachable batteries, all share the same structure regarding the e-juice tank.
Refillable vapes, for example, a pod system kit store e-juice in a pod cartridge and require refilling because of limited e-juice capacity. The coil is not designed to hold all the e-juice, but to absorb it gradually.
However, disposable vapes like Geek Bar use a sponge-like material, often cotton or synthetic fibers, to absorb and store the e-juice once and for all. The coil is wrapped around or placed near the soaked material. This specific structure allows single-use vapes to produce more vapor and ready-to-use but also inevitably gives rise to burnt tastes.
2. Why Does My Disposable Vape Taste Burnt?
Like other issues of vaping, there are so many factors taken into consideration that it is improbable to list all of them. I'd like to pick some solvable problems leading to burnt tastes, and then we can find out how to fix a burnt vape.
(1) Debris in the Chimney
Vapers usually throw away the plug before the first puff and put the vape in the pocket or bag. Debris like plastic, fiber, or other stuff falls into the chimney, which may be formally called the airpath, and all the way to the coil. You will have unpleasant burnt tastes when the coil heats not only the e-juice but also the debris.
(2) Burnt Taste After Recharging
Did you use your vape when it was charging? Burnt taste could be such a trivial problem compared with a vape explosion.
Distinctive from vape kits, most disposables are not intended for pass-through charging, which means you should not use them after the charging is done, and you have to unplug your vape before use.
The battery of your disposable kit is charging and discharging at the same time. This can cause the vape to overheat, and no doubt, the coil is burnt afterwards. Vaping during charging is not recommended unless you have a disposable that still works after the battery dies:
Off Stamp X Cube 25K
Off Stamp X Cube is another phenomenal product of Off Stamp. It has more e-juice, an extra screen, and diverse flavors than the former version. As usual, it is composed of a pod and a charging dock. The main 1000mAh battery supports fast recharging, and the pod is powered individually by a 100mAh built-in battery. Before the main power source dies, it will recharge to pod battery and allow you to use the pod single between charges.
(3) Counterfeit or Defective Vapes
Well, you're gonna take risks when you order vapes from stores like Temu, full of counterfeits and fake products from you-know-where. Counterfeits are low in quality, and malfunction is a natural thing. Authentic products can be defective, but you can get your money back or get a new one as long as you contact customer service.
3. How to Make A Disposable Vape Not Taste Burnt?
(1) Keep Your Vape Clean
Don't expose your vape to particles that can easily enter the vape. Keep the plug if possible and plug he mouthpiece when you put it in your pocket. A dustproof cap might be helpful. Some disposables, like VOZOL Gear Shisha 40K, just have a cap with them.
If there is debris in the chimney part, you can roll a piece of tissue and carefully stick it through the mouthpiece to remove the debris.
(2) Avoid Vaping While Charging
Most disposable kits do not support pass-through charging. You'd better not vape while it is charging. Just be patient and do not let your cravings take control.
(3) Buy Vapes from the Best Online Vape Shop
Find a vape shop online with a local warehouse, and you can get the latest vapes faster and spend money on authentic vapes rather than counterfeit ones. Plus, there are always vapes on discount from these online stores.
4. Bonus: Why Does My Geek Bar Taste Burnt?
Geek Bar is literally the successor of Elf Bar in the United States and has won popularity all over the globe. However, Geek Bar vapes are not flawless and might taste burnt from time to time. The cause varies and most of them are mentioned in the last paragraphs. Since the Geek Bar demand is high and the productivity is limited, OEMs are also involved in the production. Even if you check the authenticity of your vape, it doesn't mean it is perfect, and you can get one from the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) with poor performance.
5. Conclusion
Disposable vape is an option, but there are always better ones. Moving on from these to pod system kits might be better, as troubles like burnt tastes or leakage do not bother you frequently. That's all about the causes and how to fix burnt disposable vapes, and I'll see you next week.
