Odd Taste
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced an odd taste when using their e-cigarette?
I received mine today and used a Menthol cartridge. It does not appear to taste like Menthol at all and has more of a bitter taste, or after taste is a better word. My NJOY was fully charged before I used it for the first time. I have noticed that if I take very small drags, I can feel the smoke and nicotine, but I just have been getting this nasty smell. Sorry as this is hard to explain a taste in words. I also noticed if I take a deeper drag, no smoke appears. Maybe I just need to get used to this new way.
I am wondering do the normal cartridge blends taste the same? Maybe my cartridge might be too strong. I chose the Full Flavor Menthol. Maybe a lower dose or another flavor?
I am also wondering if this is something you get used to over time? Any advice is most welcome.
Thanks 聟聟.|||Leaford was mentioning the taste of most menthols in another thread and I think we’re all on the same page. Being a former menthol cigarette smoker myself, I have yet to find a menthol cartridge that’s good. If you’re using the Njoy, your best bet is regular flavor. I really liked that one.|||Well, the menthol burn is particularly strong in all of the brands I’ve tried. but I don’t think you’re talking about that.
I get a bad aftertaste, particularly on the very top of my tongue, and the back of the throat and mouth. Usually, it seems to be because the atomiser is too cold, and I think it’s leaving some of the liquid as a liquid mist, instead of true vapor. I haven’t had that problem with the Njoy, really only with the 117mm size, 3 piece minis. BUt maybe something like that is happoening with yours. Try giving your batteries a full 8 hours to charge, and try it again. If it still happens, amybe your atomizer is weak.
E-mail customer service at Njoy, and describe it to Mark. I’m sure he can advise whether you need a new atomizer, or maybe its the batteries.||| |||I want to thank you for writing and sharing your experience.
Since I am new to e-cigarette smoking, I have a lot to learn and discover. I did open a Full Flavor and smelled the cartridge and it has a odd smell to me. Maybe I just do not like the artificial tobacco like smell. I think the problem is I have not smoked in awhile and have used nicotine replacement medicines. The problem with the nicotine replacement is you miss the smoke and feeling of smoking. I guess they also set up a dislike for something that imitates a cigarette. I do not think it is my NJOY, I think it is me.
Another thought is I wonder if the Propylene Glycol is bothering me too. I seem to have a bit of a sore throat from my first day of trying my NJOY. Maybe I just need to give it some time to become used to this new way of satisfying a nicotine craving.
Thank you all for sharing your experience and knowledge with me.|||Someone else mentioned a "burnt pantyhose" taste associated with new e-cigs. I noticed this too but it goes away rather quickly. The other thing I have noticed is that the taste comes back a bit when the cartridge is dry or not feeding onto the atomizer correctly.|||Propylene glycol negatively affects about 10% of those who inhale it. This comes from studies in both Malaysia and New Zealand. It can cause a cough. It can increase mucus production. And it can cause a sore throat. It’s a humectant for many uses, and it dries out your throat. I’m one of those negatively affected by it. I feel it hitting throat and lungs — and my body says "Stop this right now." My addiction says, "Hey, it’s better for you than the cigarettes you used to smoke." So I keep e-smoking.
If you read the fact sheets at Dow Chemical on PG, you’ll find we’re not supposed to inhale the vapors for very long. That’s never been tested or studied. We’re all guinea pigs for a new use of PG.|||Thank you for the information. I guess this is no safer in the long run . I think it is time to go back to my nicotine replacement medicines. This has me worried and I have been on the NTR and thought this would make it a bit easier. Guess not.
Thanks to everyone who read my posts and were kind enough to answer.
Best wishes to all….|||Whoa. Did NOT mean to scare you off. The overwhelming consensus of researchers is that e-smoking is much, much safer than any smoking of tobacco. If the choice is between a cigarette and an e-cigarette, it’s no choice at all as far as your health is concerned. The e-cig wins by all measures. It’s just that there are no guarantees that you’ll die of cancer from smoking cigarettes or live to 100 by smoking e-cigs. It’s all about the odds. And the odds say if you need to smoke, choose an electronic cigarette.
Do some Google searches and read the horror stories about NRT gum, etc. You’ll nominate the e-cig for sainthood. You asked about the sore throat, and I answered honestly. But I dont’ want to frighten off a potential cig quitter.|||Hi,just my opinion, but it might have to do with cartridges being old. In my experience old cartridges when they get dark
start smelling bad.
