Cotton taste when firing new build for the first time

Hello!

In all reviews, after building, wicking and juice on, the guys are making big clouds and say wow, wonderful taste !

On my side, each time I complete the building (all kinds of rba), the first vape has a strange taste, kind of "cotton" taste (building with Japanese organic cotton). Letting the rba resting for 24 hrs and this strange taste disappears...

By cotton taste, I do not mean burn taste (the wick is full of juice), it is really like cotton and it changes my juice taste, just like adding a shoot of "cotton" juice in my mix, no good taste actually

Any idea?

 

Same here with Team Vape Cotton and Kendo Vape Cotton. 3 - 4 puffs and the flavor is on spot.

 

I have this exact same issue. I suspect those guys are using juice they already know and love and just ham it up for the video. I have tried multiple types of cotton and it always seems to have to go through a "break-in period" described here. I always fill my first tank after a new build with 1-2ml of some OK tasting juice. By the time I finish it, I put in some tasty juice and all is right in the world. I do find the same phenomena though, just letting it sit over night and no break-in period is required. Quite interesting.

 

Guys, I confirm I am priming the wicks and I feel the same whatever coton brand used. I think it is really a question of breaking in... and happy that jorakae is feeling the same, not alone! Then, in my point, all these reviewers stating amazing taste since the very first vape after building are not very fair

 

I have the same thing with all the cotton I use. Normally takes a 15 minutes before I get the full flavour. As to the reviewers, most of them edit their reviews, so the puffs they are taking after you see them build and wick could well be half an hour later. Also, any good reviewer will have been using the tank for a week or two before the review and will probably have put several builds through it with a variety of juices, so, they already have a good idea of the flavour before they do the review. I don't think they are being unfair or dishonest in such a case.

 

Hi fellas

Just seen a new priming technique for breaking in a new wick...

Fast forward to 2.26 in the video....

PS... Before ,I go to bed, I always fill up my tank with Custard...
when I vape in the morning, it always tastes more creamy...

 

He is mate.....

I like it .. when he says "Fill her up "

 

Going to test this priming method!

 

Also try "Teasing", for want of a better word, some of the cotton from the tails of the wick. Basically like thinning the amount of cotton out. I use a bit of 24g Kanthal and run it through the tail a few times and then trim the fluffy bits off the end of the wicks. I find this allows more juice to flow up the tails to the coils and generally I dont have to break in my wicks anymore.

 

I think I found a simpler/easier solution to this than the one in the video above. Go ahead and do your normal routine of priming the wick as you normally would by saturating your cotton. Instead of inhaling on the first couple of pulls, exhale as you fire so the vapor goes out your air flow holes a couple times. Done. Cotton is now primed. Seems to work for me but give a a try and see if that improves your cotton break in time.

 

Fire your mod from 30 watts and below the first times.give whatever cotton the ability to function in low wattage so when you higher the watts it can adjust and perform.a fine example is the warm up in training..
