5 Brief Ways You Can Avoid Having Bitter Vape Juice

One of the biggest perks to vaping is the enormous selection of e-juices flavor combinations available to you at Vapecentric. No matter what you prefer, there is always new and exciting mixtures coming out just waiting to be vaped. But have you ever gotten a new flavor, knowing that it should be delicious, only to discover that it tastes bitter or burnt? Well, We have all been there at one time or another, and with the flavor being the most important aspect of the vaping experience, there are steps you can follow to make sure you get the most out of your juice. 

Here are 5 simple ways to avoid getting a bitter taste from your vape juice: 

Avoid Having Bitter E-Juice Tip #1: Prime Your Wick

One of the most common mistakes vapers make is when they drop a new coil in their tank that is not properly priming the wick. If you skip priming or don’t prime well enough, your coils may fail, and could even produce a terrible flavor. If you aren’t paying attention, you could end up blaming the nasty flavor on your new e-juice and throw it out without realizing that you just need to replace your pre-made coil or freshen up your build with a new wick. If you have followed protocol and known that your wick was properly saturated before you started wailing on it, it is also possible that the juice you are using contains more sweetener than normal. This can result in the wick becoming caramelized and gunked up at a quicker rate by the higher concentration of sugar. So, before you throw that vape juice out, be sure to check that your cotton isn’t the problem.

Avoid Having Bitter E-Juice Tip #2: Steep Your Vape Juice

Another issue comes when a juice manufacturer sends out a batch too quickly while trying to supply the demand, and you end up with an un-steeped product that hasn’t had time to properly cure. The combinations of flavorings used in these juices can be complex, with as much as five or six different flavors being used to achieve a certain profile. Steeping allows these flavors to properly mix and drop the bitter “edge” stronger flavors can have in the process. Just let it sit to the side for a few days and come back to it before you throw it out. Simple as that.

Avoid Having Bitter E-Juice Tip #3: Clean Your Vape Tank

It happens quicker than you think if you don’t have a regular cleaning routine, and the buildup in your tank could taint the flavor of your clouds. There is no filter on our air vents, so aside from a buildup of caramelized sugar particles, you may also suck up dust, dirt, or bugs that can add to the mess of sludge sticking to the inside of your chimney. That is why you need to clean your tank weekly to prevent issues happening, not only to the tank, but the juice being vaped and the device you are using in general.

Avoid Having Bitter E-Juice Tip #4: Preventing The Dreaded Vaper’s Tongue

This is a real thing, and most of the time it is caused by vaping too heavily on only one e-juice flavor. It's a lot like being exposed to a certain scent for so long you eventually stop noticing it. Becoming desensitized to a flavor will cause you to only notice or taste the nicotine or Propylene Glycol edge usually masked by deliciousness. Drink some water, take a break, or switch vape juices for a little while to fix the problem.

Avoid Having Bitter E-Juice Tip #5:  Adjust Your Vaping Device's Power Settings

Different vape juices can have a better or worse flavor depending on how much power you run to the coils. If you notice that bitter, hot edge coming out, you may want to play with your settings to find the sweet spot for that specific e-liquid. It usually doesn’t take that much adjusting, but by dialing the power back a notch, you could really bring out the best in your new juice.

Take these tips into consideration the next time you find a flavor that doesn’t sit well, it could end up saving you a lot of time and money on e-juice. Once you figure out how to avoid vaping bitter juice, your vaping experience will become easier and more enjoyable.
