What nicotine strength should I choose when switching from disposables?

Most disposable vapes in Ireland contain 20mg nicotine salts, which is equivalent to strong 10ml nic salt e-liquids. If you’re switching to a refillable kit, choose a 10mg or 20mg nic salt for a similar hit. You’ll save money and get more flavour.

10 Reasons Why Your Vape May Taste Bad

If your vape kit suddenly tastes burnt, dull, or just “off,” don’t worry—it’s a common issue and usually easy to fix. Whether you’re using a pod kit or a more advanced setup, there are a few key reasons your flavour might not be right.

Quick Answer: A bad vape taste is usually caused by a worn-out coil, wrong e-liquid, low wattage, or a dirty device. Replacing your coil and cleaning your vape often solves the problem.

Shop Replacement Coils

1. Burnt Coil

The most common cause of bad taste is a burnt coil.

Happens when the coil is overused
Produces a harsh, burnt flavour

Fix: Replace the coil immediately.

2. Coil Not Primed Properly

If you didn’t let your coil soak before use, it can burn quickly.

Always wait 5–10 minutes after filling

3. Wrong E-Liquid Type

Using the wrong e-liquid for your device can affect flavour.

Nic salts for pod kits
Shortfills for high-power devices

4. Low or Incorrect Wattage

Incorrect power settings can stop your coil from working properly.

Too low = weak flavour
Too high = burnt taste

5. Old or Expired E-Liquid

E-liquid can degrade over time.

Flavour becomes dull or unpleasant
Check expiry dates

6. Dirty Device

Build-up inside your vape affects taste.

Residue mixes flavours
Can cause poor performance

Fix: Clean your vape regularly.

7. Chain Vaping

Vaping too frequently can overheat the coil.

Doesn’t allow liquid to re-soak
Leads to burnt taste

8. Airflow Issues

Incorrect airflow settings affect flavour.

Too tight = harsh hits
Too open = weak flavour

9. Dehydration (“Vaper’s Tongue”)

Sometimes the issue isn’t your device.

Taste buds become less sensitive
Common with frequent vaping

Fix: Drink water and switch flavours.

10. Poor Quality or Wrong Flavour Choice

Not all flavours suit everyone.

Try different e-liquids
Stick to trusted brands
