@garbage_ghoul hey did you solve this issue? I'm new to vaping stsrted with a pockex and this is happening after avlbiut a month constant burnt taste. Have to unscrew then rescrew the top to get taste back then after about 10 pulls get burnt tast again
I would swap out to a new coil assembly. You might want to try buying a pack of the coil assemblies for that particular tank. Hang on a second I need pictures to explain a bit of meaning for us.
Here is the outside view of a coil head assembly:
Here is a coil getting ready to be wrapped in cotton / wicked:
The coil fits inside the assembly. Here is a nice
article about rebuilding these type of coil heads.
So, if you get a pack of these heads you may want to switch out the coil/head in a tank about every two weeks. Put a fresh new coil/head back in the tank and you can clean up or rebuild the old coil/head. Cleaning might involve dropping the coil heads into a pan of boiling water, this is the
boil out method and it works pretty well. You might want to try cleaning heads in a bath of vodka, rinse them off and let them dry about three days, this is the
booze em out method and it does a fair job. Others might suggest using sonic cleaners. Not used that method so cannot infer any opinion of it.
What I can offer bullet point wise is below.
- Any coil in an assembly/head unit will need to be at least rinsed off every two weeks. Two weeks seems generally all the assemblies are designed to do effectively without gunking up, become crappy in taste.
- It's a good idea to keep a pack of coils assemblies on hand, you might consider it a seasonal buy which lets you keep fresh coils handy.
- You can save the hassle of needing fresh assemblies by using an RDA. I think yesterday evening my friend @JuicyLucy was saying she gets about three months good use off a coil she makes and puts in an RDA.
Please do not read that and think this is me
telling you how to vape. No, I'm not doing that nor will I ever. What I wrote above is just a suggestion. How you vape is your choice. Hopefully, I've offered some more help. Well, I need to, ....
