Why Does Your Vape Taste Burnt? Causes and Solutions

Why Does Your Vape Taste Burnt? Causes and Solutions

Ever been hit with a burnt taste while vaping? You’re not alone—it’s a common issue that can ruin delicious flavors and become frustrating fast. Thankfully, knowing the causes helps you fix it easily and keep your vape experience smooth.


1. Dry Coil Wick

Cause: The wick (usually cotton) inside your coil isn’t soaked enough with e-liquid, causing it to burn.
Solution: Whenever you fill your tank or insert a new pod, allow the wick—especially in open pod systems like SO1 and Infantry 40—to saturate for at least 5–10 minutes before vaping.


2. High Power Settings

Cause: Using wattage beyond the coil's capacity overheats the cotton and e-liquid, burning the wick .
Solution: Match your power to the coil’s specifications. For instance, the SO1 supports 5–30 W coils, while the Infantry 40 handles up to 40 W—staying within these ranges ensures optimal flavor and coil life.


3. Low E-Liquid Level

Cause: A tank or pod running low can leave the wick exposed, leading to burnt hits .
Solution: Keep your devices well-filled. Both SO1 and Infantry 40 have clear fill lines and top-fill designs—perfect for maintaining consistent juice levels.


4. Worn-Out Coil

Cause: Old, gunked-up coils lose their ability to wick properly, causing burnt flavors .
Solution: Replace coils every 1–2 weeks, or sooner if flavor diminishes. Using standard titanium or PCTG coils in Jomotech pods makes replacements quick and easy.


5. Chain Vaping

Cause: Rapid-fire puffs don't allow time for e-liquid to re-soak the wick, leading to dryness and burning .
Solution: Take breaks between hits to let the wick re-saturate—especially important with high-performance devices like the Infantry 40.


6. Thick E-Liquid in Small Coils

Cause: High-VG liquids can struggle to absorb into small coil wicks, causing dry tastes .
Solution: Use thinner (50/50 VG/PG) e-liquids with smaller coils. Both SO1 and Infantry 40 are compatible with varied coil resistances—choose the right vape juice accordingly.


7. Dirty Mouthpiece or Connections

Cause: Residue buildup can restrict airflow, increasing wick heat and burning risk .
Solution: Clean mouthpieces and pod connections regularly so airflow stays smooth and flavorful.
