You just cracked open a new Alto pod, snapped that bad boy in, and took a couple of hits. Everything’s going swimmingly, until a puff hits your throat and BLEH! It tastes terrible! If you’re an avid Vuse Alto user, you’ve probably had a pod (or several) start tasting burnt after only a few puffs. It’s an annoying problem, but luckily there’s a quick fix. If you’re tired of pods burning your throat, read this article to learn about solutions, prevention, and vape care. No more throwing away new pods!
Things You Should Know
- Alto pods start tasting burnt when the wick isn't in contact with enough juice. Cover the bottom hole and quickly blow into the pod to push liquid to the wick.
- Priming your coil will help prevent a burning taste. Suck gently on the pod while covering the bottom hole with your finger to prime.
- Keeping your vape clean, upright, and away from heat will improve the life of your pod.
Steps
Section 3 of 3:
Upkeep
-
Store your vape upright in a cool place. Vape juice is heat sensitive—no surprise there, so leaving it out in the sun isn't the best way to preserve your puffs. Keep your vape hitting cleaner longer by storing it in a cool, dark place. [4] X Research source
- Another great way to keep your vape from burning is to always store it upright, but if you’re keeping it in your pocket that’s not always possible. Just keep in mind that letting the air bubble float around the coil is likely to dry it out.
- How long a pod lasts will depend on several factors, but an Alto will last 275 puffs for the average user. [5] X Research source
-
Keep it clean. To get the best vaping experience, clean your pod regularly. Take out the pod and clean any residue out of the battery terminal with q tips and rubbing alcohol or compressed air. Use another q tip to clean off the bottom of the pod itself. Soak the mouthpiece in hot water to dissolve any sticky excess liquid. [6] X Research source
- Anything in between the battery and the pod will be sucked into the coil and cause your hits to taste less than perfect.
