burnt taste ego ce4

Tempro · Mar 12, 2016

So i got this ego ce4 vape pen until my mod arrives but i get this burnt taste that is a bit painful in my troath and taste weird. This happens after some drags then i stop for a bit and its good again then i get the burnt taste again. It is a bramd new vape pen any solution?

most likely the juice is to thick to keep up with the wicking which is why it is fine after it sits for a little bit. Cant wick to accomadate repeated use with out a break. I would either suggest a thinner juice or giving it a break in between.

Wow that was useful thankyou

Should be able to handle a 50/50 juice alittle better but when those were big I think the going ratio was 70pg/30vg not its reversed since most juices are 30pg/70 and 20pg/80vg still quite a few that do 50/50 though. The new tankers are able to handle higher vg because most use cotton now where as the ce4's use silica wick and its pretty harsh when that dry burns. Not that cotton isnt harsh to but silica is harsh to start

Don't go any thicker than a 50/50 with ce4s, the juice flow is nonexistent. You can remove the drip tip and drip one tiny drop of fluid on the coil to help prime, but you'll still end up with dry hits with a higher vg juice.

Are the wicks in the top near the drip tip? I used to tip mine upside down, or at least sideways, just to keep the wicking wet once the level got lower.

geeze, I vaguely remember that for the 2 ce4's I owned a long time ago.

Try tipping it occasionally, or even upside down, but don't store it that way. Also, keep it filled at least to the halway point. Silica wicking doesn't keep up as well as some of the newer tanks that use cotton and have the wicking at the bottom. The kind you're using kept me off cigarettes, but I quickly learned there are better tanks out there, and these days, more affordable, too. The ce4 tanks never lasted very long before they needed to be replaced.

Yep, tilt your tank to keep the wicks wet, wait a bit between draws, use thinner liquid - that about covers all the advice for using the old-school top coil clearos.

Just tried that . Perfect solution, no burned taste and no harsh inhale. Perfect just perfect.

Accidentaly i pressed the fire button down for 10 sec and i didnt take a drag now it kinda taste likes caramel or littlebit burned juice. Any way to fix this?

Tempro · Mar 16, 2016

I also created a little vacum in the tabk to steep the juice.

New coil. Or rewick the existing one - more trouble than it's worth to me, though I know others who've done it.

Any other way to fix this? I dont want to buy a new one its just temporary. Doesnt it just go away? I cant even screw the bottom down.

Teresa P · Mar 16, 2016

Nope. It doesn't go away, the cotton/silica is burned. They make those with something like a 32g wire, it won't take prolonged heat without getting brittle. I'm sure if you took it apart (if you can - most ce4s won't disassemble), you'd see black wicking.

Tempro · Mar 16, 2016

It went away for a little bit

Teresa P · Mar 16, 2016

You can get those dirt cheap from eBay. Just sayin'....

Tempro · Mar 16, 2016

But the delivery takes time and my kanger kit arrives in 8 days. My classmate told me if i take drags without firing it could go away.

Tempro · Mar 16, 2016

If i put water in it and shake it or somethinf will it help?

Manimal3497 · Mar 16, 2016

adding water would thin it out but I would not add more then a couple drops personally. As for the taking "drags without firing" is called priming it and yes that can pull some juice into the wick helping to eliminate the dry wick. I would try the priming to see if you can work with that until you get your kanger setup. If it gets to be to much then you can try thinning it with a couple drops of water.

I tried priming it helps a little but i have to do it takes some time. Do i put water into the empty tank or to the juice

Manimal3497 · Mar 16, 2016

I would put it in the juice. I would say try 2 drops in a 30ml and see how well that works.

But you know probably the coil is burned but it only gets bad after 3 drags or so

Manimal3497 · Mar 16, 2016

then start with a new coil. If you have already burnt the coil then its just going to get worse.

Tempro · Mar 16, 2016

The thing is i only fired it once for 10 sec without taking a drag. Now i poured in some water shook it
poured it out and a little brownish piece got out. It seems like its good.

Manimal3497 · Mar 16, 2016

if its working then go for it

The issue is that IMHO, anything that starts with CE and holds E-Liquid is garbage, plain and simple.

And manufactured by the Lee Brothers.

Poor Lee, Bad Lee and Cheap Lee.

I purchased several of these pieces of crap when I first started vaping and they were so awful I almost went back to smoking.

Thank God I found the Kanger T-2 clearos and stayed the course!
