Not enough liquid is getting to the heating coil quickly enough (liquid levels might be low though not empty) A coil that gets too hot (maybe you just took the device off the charger and the battery voltage is at its highest for a brief period, or maybe you took too many puffs in quick succession)
If the puff bar tastes burnt, then it's likely that the coil, which is the heating element, is reaching the wick properly or burning it successfully. For this, it's best to replace the vape entirely to solve this issue.
Your tank needs topping up
If there is not enough e-liquid in your vape tank or pod you'll experience a burnt taste when you inhale on the device. In essence, instead of vaporising the e-liquid in your tank, the coil will be burning the wicking material inside the coil.
The only thing in an Elf Bar that can expire or go bad is the vape juice. Technically e-juice can go bad. But it's not the same as food going bad. Vape juice (including nicotine salt) is very shelf-stable.
The answer to this question of course depends on how frequently you vape. If you vape only once a day, your Elf Bar should last up to a fortnight. If you vape 2-3 times a day, you have less than a week before the e-liquid inside runs out.
If it tastes burnt after a charge, take light puffs for a period without fully inhaling. This will start to deplete the battery enough to bring the total power output down. Try a full inhale when the taste feels right.
If your elf bar is flashing, then its battery is likely to have run out. Hence, this is a sign for you that it's time to start hunting around for a new elf bar. It's highly likely that your e-liquid would also be running out soon, and you wouldn't want to get a burnt taste when you vape anyway!
It's rated as a 6,000 puff disposable meaning you throw away the vape once all 15ml of e-juice has been vaped. As a heavy vaper who never goes longer than 10 minutes without a puff, I expected 4-5 days out of the Voltbar. What I found instead was a really impressive run time of 7-8 days!
On average, a 3500 puff vape should last between one and two weeks. However, this depends entirely on how you use it and how often you vape. If you're a heavy vaper and use the device all day, every day, then it may last less than one week. If you aren't a heavy vaper, a 3500 puff vape can last up to two weeks.
These burnt hits are likely not dangerous health-wise by any means. They will be extremely sickening but will likely cause no long-term health problems for you. You may experience headaches if you vape a burnt coil continuously, but, some basic paracetamol will help you with these.
A Burnt Taste
Vaping with a burnt coil is not only unpleasant—but may cause irritation. If you are experiencing this taste, it's best to stop using your vape until you replace the coil. This may feel frustrating if it seems like you just replaced it, but it's unavoidable.
Vapor from devices with burnt coils can negatively affect the heart and lung.
They contain lithium-ion batteries, which are known to catch fire easily if overcharged or disassembled at random. If your ELF stick starts to smoke or catch fire, remove it from the charging station and unplug it immediately. Do not attempt to charge it again until you are sure it is safe to do so.
– An Elf Bar lasts up to 1,500 puffs before requiring replacement. It's time to replace your Elf Bar if it no longer produces vapor when you puff – which indicates that it's out of vape juice – or if the battery blinks when you puff, which indicates that the battery is dead.
How do I clean Elf Bars? Use a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol to wipe off inner and outer surfaces in hard-to-reach areas and for a deeper clean.
There is no specific number of puffs that can be considered safe. The biological factors and several modes are one of the factors that an acceptable daily intake of nicotine is based on.
There is no real "normal," and the puffs per day don't matter. The acceptable daily intake for nicotine varies based on several modes of life and biological factors. Since the system to calculate nicotine intake per puff isn't an exact science, it's better to satisfy your needs.
Is 5% nicotine a lot? Although 5% nicotine is a lot, many vapers still use it. Because it's such a high concentration to vape, the only people who should consider it are heavy smokers who are trying to convert to vaping and believe they'll require a high-strength e-liquid to do so successfully.
An overheated Elf Bar Vape can be concerning, as people are naturally going to be afraid of their device exploding. In most cases, if your device is overheating, it simply won't work.
Without considering nicotine absorption rates across both smoking and vaping, one Elf Bar is the equivalent of around four cigarettes in terms of nicotine content. However, this is where the comparison ends. Cigarettes are set on fire, and the smoke contains a deadly brew of carcinogens and lung-damaging constituents.
How Many Puffs is Heavy Vaping? If you are puffing more than 10ml of liquid a day, you are vaping heavily. That's more than a thousand puffs. There are different methods of vaping, too, which can impact how many puffs is considered heavy vaping.
If the vapour is too hot when you inhale – it could be your airflow. If it's the vapour that's too hot, it's likely down to the airflow and wattage combination you're using. The higher your wattage, the higher the temperature your coil reaches and the hotter the vapour will be.
Whether your vape tastes burnt because of e-liquid residue or a burnt wick, the condition is permanent; you can only resolve it by replacing the coil.
Most disposables have a voltage of 3.7V, but lithium batteries will charge to 4.2V for a moment before settling at 3.7V. This is one of the reasons why your Elf Bar might taste burnt a few seconds after you charge it. We recommend taking a few light puffs to deplete the battery.
