In the process of using vapes, many people will encounter the burning taste of vapes. Not only can this affect the vaping experience, but it can also cause potential health and device problems. Next, we will delve into the causes of the burning smell of vapes, the harm they bring and the corresponding countermeasures.

Electronic cigarettes convert e-liquid into inhalable gas by heating the atomizer core. When the e-liquid is insufficient or exhausted, the atomizer core continues to work at high temperature. The cotton core loses the infiltration and cooling of the e-liquid and is easily burnt, thus producing a burnt smell. In actual use scenarios, if the user does not pay attention to the remaining e-liquid and continues to use it, he may suddenly smell a pungent burnt smell, and the burnt cotton core may release harmful substances at high temperatures, posing a threat to health.

As the core component of electronic cigarettes, the atomizer core is prone to aging and damage due to long-term use or lack of maintenance. With use, the internal heating wire and cotton core will accumulate burnt substances, and frequent use of high-VG e-liquid will aggravate this situation. Since high-VG e-liquid is thick and has poor fluidity, it is more likely to remain carbonized during atomization, resulting in the inability to effectively atomize the e-liquid after the atomizer core is damaged, which will produce a burnt smell and affect the user experience.

If the newly replaced atomizer core is heated without being fully soaked in e-liquid, the cotton core will be burnt due to lack of protection and produce a smell. The cotton core in the atomizer core needs to fully absorb the e-liquid to work properly and atomize the steam evenly. Novices or disposable vape users often use it without giving it enough soaking time because they don't understand this link, resulting in a burnt smell.

For some electronic cigarettes with adjustable power, if the power is set too high, the atomizer core heats up too quickly, the e-liquid consumption increases, and the e-liquid is burnt by high temperature before it can be fully atomized, producing a burnt smell. Taking the milk tea cup electronic cigarette as an example, although most of them have fixed power, if the user blindly increases the power of some adjustable models, it is easy to produce a burnt smell, affecting the smoking experience.

The original rich and diverse flavors of vapes, such as the popular milk tea flavor and fruit flavor, will be completely covered by the burnt smell. The originally expected pleasant smoking experience is replaced by the pungent burnt smell, which greatly destroys the overall experience. Users may therefore resist vapes, reducing the frequency of use and satisfaction.

The burning smell means that the cotton core has been burnt, which may release unknown chemicals. Although there is no exact hazard data at present, long-term inhalation of these substances undoubtedly poses a health risk. The human respiratory system is fragile, and inhalation may cause symptoms such as coughing and throat discomfort. Long-term accumulation may cause more serious adverse effects on organs such as the lungs, endangering overall health.

The appearance of a burnt smell often indicates that the atomizer core is damaged or close to damage. Continuing to use it will not only further deteriorate the taste and make the burnt smell stronger, but also increase the burden on the equipment, accelerate the wear of other components, shorten the service life of the equipment, and increase the cost of use, such as frequent replacement of the atomizer core or other components.

Frequent users generally need to replace the atomizer core every 1-2 weeks, but the specific situation depends on actual usage. When the taste becomes worse, such as the taste becomes lighter, a strange taste appears, or a burnt smell appears, it is the best time to replace the atomizer core. For taste-based devices such as milk tea cup vapes, timely replacement of the atomizer core can ensure the smoking experience and avoid potential health risks.

The newly replaced atomizer core must be fully soaked in e-liquid. It is recommended to let it stand for 5-10 minutes before use. Only when the cotton core fully absorbs the e-liquid can it work normally when heated, and prevent the smell from being burned due to lack of soaking. First-time users or users who are not familiar with the operation should pay special attention to this step, which is the key link to prevent the appearance of burnt smell.

Before each use, check the remaining amount of e-liquid to ensure that it can cover the cotton core of the atomizer. Insufficient e-liquid will cause the cotton core to burn easily at high temperatures and produce a burnt smell, which not only affects the smoking experience, but may also damage the device and health. In daily use, neglecting to check the remaining amount of e-liquid may cause a burnt smell, so you need to develop the habit of checking before use.

Add the right amount of oil, generally 0.5ml - 1.5ml is more appropriate, which can be adjusted according to taste, smoke volume and equipment conditions. Too much oil may cause oil leakage, dirty the equipment and environment and affect the use; too little oil may cause a burnt smell. When adding oil, pour it slowly along the oil hole to avoid adding it to the heating wire to prevent burning the heating wire and affecting normal use.

For electronic cigarettes that support power adjustment, it is recommended to set the power within the recommended range. Taste-type devices such as milk tea cup electronic cigarettes are suitable for medium and low power settings. Too high a power will cause the atomizer core to heat too quickly, causing the e-liquid to burn and produce a taste before it is fully atomized. Different atomizers and resistors correspond to different suitable powers. For example, for a resistor of 0.6Ω, the power is pushed above 25 watts; for a resistance of about 1.2 - 1.6 for a good taste, the power is pushed by dividing 17 by the resistance to get the W number, etc. Users can reasonably adjust the power based on these reference data and the actual situation of the device.

Regular cleaning of electronic cigarette devices can extend their service life and ensure good taste. First, wipe the outside with an alcohol-free cleaner to remove stains and residual oil, and then clean the atomizer regularly to avoid the accumulation of oil and residue. You can choose to clean the atomizer by soaking and shaking it in hot water or boiling it with vinegar, and blow it dry after cleaning. These cleaning measures can effectively reduce the risk of burnt odor and keep the device in good working condition.

There are many brands and types of e-liquids on the market, and the quality varies greatly. Inferior e-liquids may release harmful chemicals at high temperatures, increase the risk of burnt odor and endanger health. High-quality e-liquid solvents should be food grade or pharmaceutical grade, with high nicotine content and high-quality extracts, smooth taste and throat hit. It is recommended to choose a reputable brand and choose the right type according to personal preference. For example, if you like sweet, large smoke and strong throat hit, you can choose high VG, high nicotine and mint e-liquid; if you like soft and moderate mist, you can choose medium PG/VG, medium and low nicotine e-liquid. Choosing high-quality e-liquid can avoid the burnt smell while enjoying the flavor.

Understanding the causes, hazards and countermeasures of the burnt smell of electronic cigarettes can help us use electronic cigarettes better, improve the user experience, and protect our own health and the life of the equipment. In the process of using electronic cigarettes, paying attention to details, correct operation and choosing high-quality products can make electronic cigarettes bring us better services instead of being troubled by problems such as burnt smell.
