Is your disposable vape giving you a dry, burnt hit? Discover the top reasons why this happens and how to easily prevent it.
Solving Burnt Vape Hits
There is nothing worse than taking a puff and getting a harsh, burnt taste in your throat. Here is why this happens and how to fix it.
Why Vapes Taste Burnt
A burnt hit occurs when the cotton wick inside your vape's coil dries out, causing the heating wire to burn the cotton instead of vaporizing the liquid.
Common Causes
- Chain Vaping: Puffing too rapidly doesn't give the wick enough time to soak up more e-liquid.
- Low Liquid: Your device is running out of juice.
- Fast Charging: Charging the battery with a high-current adapter can overheat the coil and singe the wick.
