I'm in the same boat too. Great taste for the first few hits on a new cart, then this nasty taste comes from it and just can't get rid of it. Spent a lot of money and wasted a lot of oil so far... enough to buy another portable vape. I have a super sensitive palate though so that may attribute to issues but filling up a cart with .5 grams of oil that costs $80/gram only to have it taste bad after a few hits really puts me off. I've decided to vape herb on the go now that I have a Pax and just use my nail and dome at home for some dabbing action. Hopefully hercules will fix this issue. going to give it a shot, but it will be my last shot after the money wasted on the 750 hammer kit, which came up disappointingly short (I don't even use it anymore after a few days of trying). If the hercules comes up short too then I'll sell my units and move on.
Well that is a plan. An understandable one. Best to do is if you are dissatisfied with the omi/persei in its current function, find one you like the function and wait until d9 releases more. There is a clear foul taste in the cart INITIALLY. That is due to the process of making the carts. Machine oils or such. and yes, it is a rather foul taste AND smell. But, it should be initially. If you are getting a foul taste after the first 10 uses on a cart, its you. Assuming the price your throwing for it, it has to be puregold. So that should have a good consistent taste. Disappointing when you invest money into something and it "flops", in ones own opinion. However, User end function is important. Aside the obvious foul machine oil and break in period of the carts, the user can control the taste. If you take 30 second whompers, the oil will COOK and taste like rat drops. Others claim 2 seconds on 2 off, or 6 on 6 off. Both those are a bit short of obnoxious to do but may improve taste. But some, such as Porquiplane, depress the button in it FEELS sufficient. But its all dependent on use and what is used. So in everyone here is in the same boat, waiting for the same stuff; the 8, the iris, the herc carts, the ss, universe, so on. Try other carts for now. Such as 3 ohm at 3.7. low power and high ohm cart, youll get a real soft hit. even 4 ohm at 3.7v. its lower than what the Cart wants for power BUT it will allow a slower "fry". But understand, herc may solve the issues. Atleast for many, including porquiplane, are hopefully that Hercules comes to the rescue....and soon... Cause all are medicating, the same as you and any other user. All just a player at the table...
or a HandTowel on the rack.
Ok OF, whatd you recommend for as good 3v battery? havent been able to get a straight answer from some. Just have the Ultrafire cr123a's from D9. they just dont hold up long, or strong for that matter. Or so it seems...
