1. Why Does My Disposable Vape Taste Burnt?
1.1 Dry Hits
One of the main culprits is something called a “dry hit.” This happens when the wick inside the vape’s coil isn’t soaked in e-liquid, usually because it’s running low or the liquid isn’t evenly distributed. Since disposable vapes can’t be refilled, once the e-liquid is gone or uneven, dry hits—and that awful burnt taste—are pretty much inevitable.
1.2 Low-Quality E-Liquid
The quality of the e-liquid plays a big role too. Cheaper disposable vapes sometimes use lower-quality e-liquids that can have impurities or too much sweetener. These can caramelize on the coil, burning the wick and leaving you with a burnt taste.
1.3 Vaping Too Often
Vaping too frequently can cause the coil to overheat. Unlike refillable vapes, disposables usually don’t let you adjust the power, so if you’re taking puff after puff without giving the wick time to re-soak, you’ll likely end up with a burnt taste.
1.4 Airflow Issues
Airflow is another factor. If the airflow is too low, the coil can get too hot, burning the wick. But if it’s too high and you’re drawing too hard, the e-liquid might vaporize faster than the wick can absorb it, also leading to that burnt taste.
