If you didn't know, disposable vape pens are just like the name sounds, they're meant to be thrown away eventually While you're using it, you want to make sure your vape is hitting right without burning your throat. This can often happen when your coil is burnt out and starts tasting burnt with each hit.

When you first buy your vape, make sure your doing everything correctly so you don't burn it out quicker. Many vapers switch to disposable vapes to try the different vape flavors. 

Why Does My Disposable Vape Taste Burnt?

There are many reasons why your disposable e-Cig can taste burnt. The biggest reason for this is if you purchased a fake disposable device. Other than that, your mileage may vary depending on how you use it. Continue to read the article to learn how you can prolong the life of your disposable.

Not Enough eLiquid / Wrong eJuice

If you're noticing a burnt taste coming from your single use vape, it can be that you're running low on vape juice. If this is the case, your vape is done and cannot be used anymore. It would be best to throw your disposable away. It is not recommend to refill your disposable vape. It can be dangerous.

Chain Vaping

Overheating your device by vaping too fast can cause the coils structure to change. This can occur when you take too many puffs from your disposable vape in a short amount of time. This used to be called chain smoking but now vaping too fast is considered chain vaping.

Improper Storage

Not storing your vape properly will definitely cause the ejuice to leak onto the battery. This can either cause it to short circuit or the eLiquid will leak out, leaving the cotton to dry. Once the cotton dries out, your coil will definitely be tasting burnt. If you keep the vape sideways often, it may start auto-firing.

Why Does My Disposable Vape Taste Burnt After Charging?

Overcharging can also be an issue. If you don't monitor your vape while it's being charged, the battery might be pumping out too much voltage for the coil to handle. This can heat it up too much and too fast, causing your vape flavors to taste burnt. Single use vapes often have around 3.7 volts but a fresh new battery can charge up to 4.2v. It will go back down to 3.7v after a few uses. This can also happen if you're running low on eliquid, but we're assuming that's not the case here.

Steps to Fix a Burnt Disposable Vape?

1. Clean the Mouthpiece

Although a mouthpiece isn't going to be the main reason your vape tastes burnt, it can definitely aid in airflow restriction. Your coil needs an equal balance of air, heat and liquid to not burn. Cleaning the mouthpiece thoroughly will help you get any debris out of the way.

2. Make Sure eLiquid Levels Are Good

Not all vapes have a screen on them as an indicator but the iJoy IC8000 and the Funky Republic Ti7000 are the newest vapes that have a screen. They give you an idea of where the eLiquid and battery levels are.

Tips on Preventing Burnt Hits

It's always easier to maintain something than try to fix it once the problem arrives. With that in mind, we want to show you tips on preventing burnt hits so you don't experience this again.

Be Careful of Puff Counts

Not all puffs are the same. A general puff is considered a short puff. Some vapers like to take really long drags like their using a dripper vape kit. The coils and batteries on a disposable are much different so you need to make sure you slow it down.

Slow it Down

If you take puffs slowly and don't overdo it in a short period, you should be fine. Often times when you take too many hits in a short period, the coil can become too hot. It needs to cool down so it can absorb some more juice in the cotton. Once the cotton dries out, you're going to taste the coils heat. Once it cools down, it will start absorbing more flavor. This means if you vape slower, you will be getting more flavored hits.

Don't Buy Low Quality Vapes

Majority of the vapes come from China. Although that's not a bad thing, their qualities of products might not be as good as USA made disposable vapes. Components might be inferior. Also eLiquids in the United States of America go through strict compliance to make sure the product is not tampered with.

Don't Overcharge

As we mentioned earlier in this article, overcharging your vape can lead to issues also. This usually leads to the battery being overcharged and letting our more voltage than necessary. When this happens, the coils will heat up too much and not heat up the eLiquid properly.
