How to Prevent Burnt Vape Hits

Preventing burnt hits comes down to consistent habits. After 20+ years ripping vaporizers ourselves, the pattern is always the same, those of us who maintain their devices get better results.

Best practices to follow include:

Use moderate temperature settings
Avoid chain vaping
Clean your device regularly
Replace coils when needed
Monitor material levels
Do these, and burnt hits become rare instead of routine.

While it may seem like a lot to begin, as you process with your vaporizer you’ll realize the direct cause and effect between these issues. This will lead to greater overall vapor understanding and give you the skills to dial things in just how you like them.

FAQ: Why Does My Vape Taste Burnt?
Why does my vape taste burnt all of a sudden?
This usually happens due to high temperature, low material levels, or a worn-out coil. Check those first before replacing anything.

Can a burnt vape fix itself?
No. If the coil is burnt, it needs to be replaced. Other issues like airflow or temperature can be fixed. While we wish vaporizers could sprout hands and fix themselves, if you notice burnt vapor you will have to fix the issue yourself.

How do I know if my coil is burnt?
If the burnt taste doesn’t go away after cleaning or adjusting settings, the coil is likely done. Pour one out for your fallen soldier and then begin searching for a replacement coil or atomizer from trusted distributors like Got Vape.

Why does my vape taste burnt with a full cartridge?
Things may not be absorbing properly, or your temperature is too high. Try to reattach your cartridge and lower the temperature.

How long should I wait between hits?
Wait about 20–30 seconds to allow the device to cool and resaturate. This will also allow you to feel the full effects of your vapor and ensure that you never accidentally over do it.

Does higher temperature mean better vapor?
Not necessarily. Higher temps increase vapor production but reduce flavor and increase harshness. Thus it comes down to your own personal vapor preferences.

Can cleaning fix a burnt taste?
If residue is the issue, yes. If the coil is burnt, cleaning won’t help.

Why does my new vape taste burnt?
It may not be primed properly, or you may be using too high a temperature right away. Try to lower the temperature and give some time between hits to allow things to settle.
