Elfa Pod tastes burnt
If your Elfbar Elfa Pod tastes burnt, it's usually due to improper setup. The new ELFA Pro Pods must be "compressed" before vaping. This is the only way the e-liquid can be optimally distributed around the atomizer head. Follow the instructions below before pulling on the mouthpiece.
Instructions for ELFA PRO PODS
The ELFBAR ELFA PRO's liquid separation system guarantees an even fresher vaping experience. Follow these steps for an optimal vaping experience:
Step 1
Press the bottom of the liquid pod firmly upwards.
Step 2
After the "click" sound, the liquid connects to the coil (atomizer head).
Step 3
You can now attach the Liquid Pod to your ELFBAR ELFA battery pack.
Step 4
Now wait 5 to 10 minutes so that the coil can fully absorb the liquid.
Step 5
Your ELFBAR ELFA PRO is now ready and you can enjoy pulling on the mouthpiece.
Elfa Burn Hit because liquid is used up
Another possibility is that the e-liquid is depleted. To check, remove the e-liquid pod from the battery, hold it up to a light source, and make sure there's enough e-liquid.
Elfa Dry Hit, due to strong pulling technique
Another reason for a burnt taste with Elfa pods is the draw technique. If you draw very hard and quickly on the mouthpiece, there's a risk that not enough e-liquid will remain on the coil. This can also cause the atomizer head to burn, resulting in an unpleasant taste.
If this doesn't resolve the issue, the Elfa Pod may be defective. In this case, contact your retailer and, with a bit of luck, you'll receive a replacement.
