Not enough flavour from my e-liquid when I vape


Vaping should be simple and enjoyable—but hiccups happen. The good news is most issues are quick to fix. We’ve put together this handy troubleshooting guide covering the most common vape problems customers ask us about. Keep it bookmarked, and the next time your device plays up, you’ll be back to enjoying your vape in no time.

 Why am i not getting enough puffs from my disposable vape kit? My e-liquid has turned dark
My Prefilled Vape tastes burnt Dry hits / burnt taste when I vape
My vape battery doesn’t stay charged for long I’m not getting big enough clouds when I vape
My vape kit is leaking Not enough of a throat hit when I vape
There is e liquid build-up around the connections of my vape kit Too much of a throat hit when I vape
E-liquid leaking through the airflow of my vape kit/tank I’m not getting enough of a nicotine hit when I vape
My vape kit isn’t working Not enough flavour from my e-liquid when I vape
I’m not getting any draw from my vape kit Spitting and/or gurgling sounds when I vape

Muted flavour usually comes down to coil age/type, power/airflow setup, e-liquid choice, or a flooded/dry wick. Try these in order:

Quick wins (2–3 mins)

  • Install a fresh coil/pod. Tired or gunked coils kill flavour fast—especially with sweet/dark juices.

  • Adjust power within range. Start at the low end and raise 2–3 W at a time until flavour peaks (don’t exceed the coil’s printed max).

  • Tweak airflow. Slightly tighter airflow intensifies flavour; too open makes it airy/washed out.

  • Check for flooding. If you hear gurgling or see condensation, remove the pod/tank and blow gently through the mouthpiece into tissue, then re-seat.

E-liquid choices that boost flavour

  • Use the right VG/PG. Most pods taste best at 50/50; sub-ohm tanks like 70/30 VG/PG. Too thick = under-wicking; too thin = flooding/dilution.

  • Nicotine type & strength. Very high nic salts can feel smooth but mute flavour; freebase often pops more in MTL. Keep DTL low nic (3–6 mg) to avoid harshness.

  • Fresh juice matters. Old/open bottles oxidise and dull flavour. Store cool, dark, capped.

  • Pick clearer flavours. Heavy sweeteners/custards gunk coils quickly; fruits/menthols often stay brighter longer.

  • Vape tongue delete: Did you know, our flavour Red Anarchy was invented to clear your taste palette. Vapers tongue is a real thing, and Red Anarchy is well known to clear it!

Setup & technique

  • Prime properly. After a new coil/pod or refill, wait 5–10 minutes; take 2–3 gentle primer puffs.

  • Mouthpiece & path. Clean the chimney/mouthpiece and device contacts weekly; residue mutes flavour.

  • Draw style. For MTL pods: 2–4s steady pulls. For DTL: smooth 3–5s inhale; leave 10–20s between puffs so the wick keeps up.

  • Temperature & battery. Cold thickens juice (weaker flavour); low batteries sag output. Vape at room temp and charge fully.

Coil & hardware matching

  • Coil resistance. Flavour-focused MTL: 0.8–1.2 Ω mesh. DTL: 0.15–0.3 Ω mesh at mid–upper range (within spec).

  • Airflow design. If your kit is very airy and clouds-focused, flavour will be softer. Consider a tighter MTL pod or a flavour-oriented tank if taste is your priority.

When it’s a fault

  • Brand-new pod/coil tastes weak or burnt immediately after proper priming and within wattage → likely a dud. Replace and contact the retailer with batch details.

  • Persistent leaking/flooding despite correct setup may indicate a cracked pod/tank or damaged seals.

Quick checklist to keep flavour high

  • Replace coils/pods routinely (sooner with sweet/dark juices).

  • Use suitable VG/PG for your coil.

  • Stay within wattage range; small power tweaks can transform flavour.

  • Keep everything clean & dry; avoid heat/sunlight exposure for juice and device.
