A couple of leading causes of burnt hits in vapes are improperly priming the vape after filling and skipping preheating when it's available. Because cannabis oils are so much thicker than nicotine e-juice, cannabis oils usually take longer to saturate the coil's wick. If you use the device without the correct priming or skip preheating on supported devices, the coil may heat dry material, resulting in a burnt flavor.

Cranking up the voltage might seem like a shortcut to bigger clouds, but with cannabis oil, it's often a fast track to burnt flavor. These oils are more delicate and don't respond well to high heat. When you push the power too far, you're not vaporizing, you're practically cooking the oil. The result? A harsh, bitter hit that drowns out the natural flavor of the extract.

Running a vape, cartridge, or pod when the oil is too low can create dry hits. Because when there's insufficient oil to saturate the coil properly, you'll taste burnt wick material instead of smooth vapor. It's better to replace your vape, 510-thread cart, or pod when it's about 95% empty, rather than trying to squeeze out every last drop of e-liquid.

Cannabis oils are susceptible to environmental factors, including heat, UV light, and extreme cold, all of which can impact oil quality and consistency. Exposure to sunlight or high temperatures can degrade cannabinoids and terpenes, resulting in harsh, burnt-tasting vapor. To preserve oil integrity and avoid burnt hits, vape hardware should be stored upright, at room temperature, and out of direct sunlight.

Thicker cannabis concentrates can gum up and clog vapes, especially at cooler temperatures. When a vape becomes clogged, the oil inside won't be able to flow properly to the heating coil, which can cause it to overheat and potentially burn the wick or even the oil itself. If this happens, then it leads to that harsh, unpleasant, and burnt flavor.
