New wick

[starsky]

Why does new wick taste so wrank for the first half a tank or so? I find myself putting off rewicking because of it and have used all sorts of different cotton (currently using cotton bacon) it's such a waste of good juice too. This is after I've dry burnt the coil too. Pre made coils don't taste bad when new so why does fresh cotton?

I got it really bad with cotton bacon but every other one I have used is spot on maybe the first 1 or 2 puffs aren't as good but that's all for me

I've never noticed really. Do you wash your hands before handling the cotton? And I hope you don't lick your fingers to twiddle the end !

As above, if I haven't washed my hands my rda's always tasted rank for the first 10 mins, especially if you have just eaten pizza like I did, needless to say it was rank!

Hmmm will try washing my hands and maybe not scratching my butt right before lol but it's always the same taste. I get the same taste using cheap supermarket cotton but only for the first couple of puffs

Normally too much cotton used in the wick tastes.....cottony

I get it a little with most of the brands I've tried. Fibrefreaks is the only one that hasn't had that issue. Again, hand washing is a must beforehand!
