A burnt taste from your vape pod can be unpleasant, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that your entire vape kit needs replacing. In this helpful UK vape guide, The E-Cig Store explains why vape pods taste burnt, how to identify the likely cause and what steps you can take to restore normal flavour. Common causes include an unprimed new pod, insufficient e-liquid reaching the wick, chain vaping, an ageing pod, excessive power and e-liquid that isn’t suitable for the device. The article provides a simple step-by-step approach to troubleshooting a burnt vape pod. You can start by stopping for a few minutes, checking the e-liquid level and allowing a freshly filled pod time to soak. Taking shorter, gentler puffs and staying within the manufacturer’s recommended wattage can also help prevent the wick from drying out.
