Why Does My Fifty Bar Vape Taste Burnt? - The Fifty Bars
If your Fifty Bar vape tastes burnt, you’re not alone. A burnt or dry hit can happen even on a high-quality disposable vape. The good news is that it doesn’t always mean your device is damaged.
In most cases, the burnt taste appears because the coil is heating faster than the e-liquid can soak into the wick. This usually happens after chain vaping, when the battery is running low, the e-liquid is nearly empty, or the device has been exposed to excessive heat. Fortunately, many of these issues are easy to fix.
In this guide, you’ll learn why your Fifty Bar 20K tastes burnt, how to fix it, how to know when the device has reached the end of its life, and a few simple habits that help keep every puff smooth.
What Does a Burnt Vape Taste Mean?
A burnt taste usually means the wick inside the device is no longer fully soaked with e-liquid. When there isn’t enough liquid around the coil, the heating element starts warming the dry wick instead of vaporizing the e-liquid. That’s what creates the harsh, burnt flavor.
Although you can’t replace the coil in a disposable vape, the reason behind the problem is similar to refillable devices. The coil is simply getting hotter than the wick can handle.
Common Reasons Your Fifty Bar Vape Tastes Burnt
There are several reasons why this can happen. Here are the most common ones.
1. You’re Taking Too Many Puffs in a Row
Chain vaping is one of the biggest causes of burnt hits.
After every puff, the wick needs a few seconds to absorb more e-liquid. If you keep inhaling continuously, the wick doesn’t have enough time to re-saturate.
Quick Fix
- Wait 15–20 seconds between puffs.
- Take slower, gentler draws instead of several quick ones.
2. The E-Liquid Is Almost Empty
Every Fifty Bar 20K comes pre-filled with e-liquid, but eventually it runs out.
When the liquid level gets low, the wick cannot stay fully soaked, causing the flavor to become dry or burnt.
If your device has an e-liquid display, check it first. When the level is nearly empty, replacing the device is the only solution.
3. The Battery Needs Charging
A low battery can affect the way the coil heats, especially on rechargeable disposable devices.
Before assuming your vape is damaged, connect it to the USB-C charger and allow the battery to recharge completely.
Many users notice the burnt taste disappears after charging.
4. It’s a Brand-New Device
Sometimes a brand-new disposable may produce a slightly dry or harsh flavor during the first couple of puffs.
This usually happens because the wick is still becoming fully saturated after shipping.
Instead of taking strong pulls immediately:
- Start with two or three gentle puffs.
- Allow a few seconds between each inhale.
After that, the flavor usually becomes smooth.
5. The Airflow Is Too Restricted
If your Fifty Bar features adjustable airflow, a very tight airflow setting can sometimes contribute to dry hits.
Opening the airflow slightly allows the coil to cool better and improves e-liquid flow.
Try adjusting the airflow and taking slower draws to see if the flavor improves.
6. The Device Has Been Exposed to Heat
Leaving your vape inside a hot car or under direct sunlight can affect how the e-liquid performs.
Extreme heat may thin the liquid and reduce consistent wicking.
For best performance:
- Store your vape at room temperature.
- Keep it away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid leaving it in vehicles during hot weather.
How to Fix a Burnt Fifty Bar Vape
Before replacing your device, try these simple steps.
Let the Device Rest
Stop vaping for 5–10 minutes so the wick can absorb more e-liquid.
Recharge the Battery
Connect the USB-C charger and allow the battery to charge before using it again.
Adjust the Airflow
If your device includes adjustable airflow, open it slightly for smoother airflow.
Check the E-Liquid Level
If the display shows little or no e-liquid remaining, it’s time for a new device.
Slow Down Your Puffs
Avoid chain vaping. Giving the wick enough time between puffs helps prevent dry hits.
Burnt Taste vs Weak Flavor
A weak flavor doesn’t always mean the vape is burnt.
A burnt vape usually has:
- Harsh taste
- Dry sensation
- Smoky aftertaste
- Gets worse with every puff
A weak flavor may simply need:
- A full battery
- A short rest
- Better airflow
If the flavor improves after charging or resting, your device is still working properly.
How to Prevent Burnt Hits
A few simple habits can make your vape last longer and keep the flavor consistent.
- Avoid chain vaping.
- Recharge the battery before it becomes completely empty.
- Store your device in a cool, dry place.
- Check the battery and e-liquid indicators regularly.
- Take smooth, moderate puffs instead of long, aggressive draws.
Many Fifty Bar devices also feature dual mesh coil technology and Anti-Burn Technology, which help deliver more consistent flavor throughout the device’s lifespan.
When Should You Replace Your Fifty Bar Vape?
If you’ve already:
- Charged the battery,
- Let the device rest,
- Adjusted the airflow,
- Confirmed the e-liquid is low,
and the burnt taste still doesn’t go away, your vape has most likely reached the end of its usable life.
Disposable vapes are designed to be replaced once the e-liquid has been fully used.
Final Thoughts
If your Fifty Bar vape tastes burnt, don’t assume it’s ruined immediately. Most of the time, the problem comes from chain vaping, a low battery, low e-liquid, restricted airflow, or improper storage.
Start by letting the device rest, recharge it, and check the e-liquid level. These simple steps solve the issue in many cases. However, if the burnt taste continues after trying everything, it’s likely time to replace your device.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my Fifty Bar vape taste burnt?
A burnt taste usually happens when the coil heats faster than the e-liquid can reach the wick. Common causes include chain vaping, low e-liquid, a low battery, restricted airflow, or heat exposure.
Why does my new Fifty Bar vape taste burnt?
A new device may produce a slightly dry taste during the first few puffs because the wick is still becoming fully saturated. Take a few gentle draws and wait a few seconds between puffs to allow the e-liquid to reach the coil.
Can a low battery make my Fifty Bar vape taste burnt?
Yes. If your rechargeable Fifty Bar has a low battery, it may not heat the coil properly, which can affect flavor. Charging the device often restores normal performance.
How can I tell if my Fifty Bar vape is out of e-liquid?
Signs include a burnt taste, reduced vapor production, weaker flavor, or an e-liquid indicator showing a low level (on supported models). Once the e-liquid is empty, the device should be replaced.
Does chain vaping cause burnt hits?
Yes. Taking multiple puffs back-to-back doesn’t give the wick enough time to absorb more e-liquid, which can lead to dry or burnt hits.
