Geek Bar is a hardcore favorite among vapers and for good reason offering high quality, easy to direct to mouth vapes with flavors you won't forget. But one of the many problems they may experience is a burnt taste. This horrible taste can soon transform a pleasant vaping experience into a displeasing one. Knowing why this burnt taste occurs is important as well-both for the new and experienced vapers-so they can assess the problem and bring back the quality taste in their vape.
Dry Wick Syndrome
1-1 What is a Dry Wick?
In a Geek Bar, as with many vaping devices, the wick is responsible for soaking up the e - liquid and delivering it to the heating element. If the e - liquid is not enough, the wick gets dry. When the heating element finishes operating, it instead starts heating the dry wick rather than the e - liquid. This leads to burning of the wick and the distinctive burnt flavor.
1-2 Dry Wick Syndrome Causes
Over - vaping: When you take too large of puffs in a row, the wick on the atomiser can run out of the e - liquid faster than it can be replaced. For instance if a user is chain vaping, the wick might not be able to absorb enough e liquid between inhales.
Liquid Level: When the e - liquid is running low in the Geek Bar reservoir, the wick may not be fully saturated. This happens very often in the later part of the device lifespan or when the user forgets to monitor the e - liquid level frequently.
High Vaping Power: Another vaping variable that causes the Geek Bar to run out of e - liquid faster is - when it has adjustable power modes, and if the user prefers using it in a very high wattage setting, the heating will consume e - liquid at a much faster rate. If it's not made to handle that kind of high power efficiently, the wick can dry up.
1-3 Remedies to the Dry Wick Syndrome
Pace Your Vaping: Allow time between puffs for the wick to re - saturate with e - liquid. As a general guideline, after taking a puff, you should wait at least 10 - 15 seconds before taking the next one.
The e - liquid level should be checked regularly in the Geek Bar. If it is low, fill up on it in a hurry. Certain Geek Bar models are disposable, but if you have a refillable one, ensure you utilize the proper type of e-liquid as per the manufacturer's recommendation.
Change The Power Settings: If you can set the power on your Geek Bar, begin at a low wattage and slowly increase it if necessary. This helps making sure that wick can provide sufficient amount of e - liquid to heating element without running dry.
Clogged Airflow
How Does Airflow Impact the Vaping Experience?
A well-designed airflow is a must for good vaping experience. Geek Bar produce an inhaled cloud of vapour by vaporising e- liquid into an air stream. If the airflow is somehow restricted or clogged, the heating element may not get sufficient oxygen. As a result, the e - liquid may combust incompletely thus, leading to a burnt gasp.
2-2 Causes of Airflow Clogging
Dust and Debris: Dust, lint, or other small particles can work their way into the Geek Bar air intake over time. This is particularly likely to happen if the device is located in a dirty or dusty environment.
Condensation Buildup: Therefore, moisture can accumulate inside the device, especially when the user is vaping in a humid environment or when the device has been kept upright. Too much fluid can obstruct the airflow channels.
E - liquid Leap: If the geek bar is cracked or mumbled, the e - liquid could leak and block the air outlet hole
2-3 Clearing Clogged Airflow
Lightly Brush the Vent: Take a small brush (like a toothbrush) and clean the air intake holes. Wipe the device with a cloth, but avoid cleaning it aggressively to not damage the device.
Address Condensation: If you see condensation within the device, gently empty out any extra liquid. You may also try lightly blowing through the mouth piece to release airflow channels. But do not blow too hard because it will cause e - liquid to back up to the mouthpiece.
The gadget helps to prevent e - liquid spillage by proper storing of the geek bar in upright position and by handling with care. If a spill happens, wipe the device clean immediately to prevent clogs.
Heating Element Issues
3-1 Heating Element Failure
Geek Bar Heating Element The heating element is an essential part of a Geek Bar. It can become damaged or faulty, causing the e liquid to heat incorrectly or too aggressively creating a burnt taste. Manufacturing defects, overuse, and extreme conditions can cause premature failure in a heating element.
3-2 Symptoms of a Defective Heating Element
Unsatisfactory Vapor Output: If the Geek Bar is producing vapor inconsistently in the sense that some puff provide plenty of vapor while others barely produces any it may be an indication of a defective heating element.
Weird Noises: Unusual clicking popping/ or hissing sounds coming from the device could point to a fault heating element.
Visible Damage: An examination of the heating element often reveals visible damage, such as discoloration or breakage.
To troubleshoot heating element issues 3-3 Heating element issues
When to contact Manufacturer: If you suspect that the heating element is faulty and the device is still under warranty, you should contact the Geek Bar manufacturer. They can offer a replacement device or any repair options you may be covered for.
Check For Damage: Take the Geek Bar apart if you know how, and be certain that you make sure to only take apart devices designed to be opened, and check the heating element for damage. Just keep in mind that peeling open the device may void the warranty. If you see damage, you might be able to buy an alternative heating element (if available) and install using the manufacturers instructions.
Incorrect E - liquid Choice
4-1 Compatibility Issues
Not all e - liquds are suitable for all vaping devices (including the Geek Bar). Not all e - liquids may have the same viscosity (thickness). Using a thick e - liquid in a Geek Bar that is not designed to handle it can lead to dry wicking and a burnt taste since the wick may not be able to soak up the liquid.
4-2 Chemical Reactions
Certain e - liquid ingredients may react with Geek Bar components like the atomizer or the capacitor. Such as some high nicotine salt concentrations of e liquides which can cause corrosion or other chemical reactions as time passes and that may damage the device and cause the machine to burn.
4-3 Selecting the Correct E - liquid
Check Compatibility: Always consult the manufacturers advice for e - liquid compatibility. Choose e - liquids that are made for pod - based systems such as the Geek Bar.
Read Reviews: If you are thinking about trying a new e - liquid, make sure to read reviews from other vapers about its effectiveness with the Geek Bar. That may give you clues about any possible compatibility issues or taste problems.
Stick To Quality Brands : Choose e - liquids only from top brands. In addition to this, these brands are less likely to be experimental in invention, and so they have likely passed rigorous testing to ensure their substances are harmless with a variety of vaping devices.
Environmental Factors
5-1 Temperature Effects
Extreme heat and cold can make a Fantastic Bar perform poorly. At extreme cold the e - liquid probably getting thicker, therefore affecting absorption for wick. Which can create dry wicking and a burnt taste. Contrarily at high temperatures, the e - liquid can overflow due to expansion and the heating element can also be ruined resulting in seriously overheating and burnt taste.
5-2 Humidity Impact
Condensation can accumulate inside the Geek Bar due to high humidity. As mentioned earlier, condensation can block airways and interfere with device performance. Also you consider that if the e - liquid starts to absorb moisture from the environment, its composition will change, and it may also cause a burnt taste.
5-3 Protecting the Geek Bar from the Environment
Temperature Control: Do not use or store the Geek Bar in extreme temperatures. If it is cold outside, keep it close to your body to keep it warm. Keep it in a cool place with shades during hot weather.
Humidity control: For example in humid environments, use a dirty case or silica gel packets to keep the device dry. Try not to vape in humid environments for extended periods either.
There are many reasons why your Geek Bar has a burnt taste from an issue with the device itself (dry wicking clogged airflow or a faulty heating element) to external influences (the wrong e-liquid choice and environmental conditions) By exploring these possible reasons and their respective solutions vapers can get their devices back to working order for a purer and better tasting experience every time with a Geek Bar. So you can extend the life of a Geek Bar by regularly maintaining it using it properly and using the right e - liquid for the Geek Bar.
