new to vaping, my vape tastes burnt

[sthldn]

hi guys,
so i bought the Joyetech EGO one last month and up until yesterday it has been working perfectly.
i went to a (cheap) vape store in my area and i bought the kanger subtank nano because i wanted a bigger tank that would store more juice, i used this tank on my ego one battery for a couple of hours but then switched back to my ego one tank, and now my vape started to taste burnt, like when there is no juice left. I took out the juice, and cleaned all the components, replaced more juice and left it over night and tried it out this morning and the same thing happened.. could anyone tell me if theres anything i can do? or if i'm doing anything wrong :/ do i need to buy a new coil?

p.s if i'm very new to vaping and haven't gotten used to all the technical terms so please be very detailed if you can >_<

Sounds like a bad coil perhaps. Do you have another coil you could try? Ive heard you could clean out the coils by letting them soak in vodka overnight.

Definitely sounds like a burnt coil. It happens, and those subtank coils don't last long at all. My advice would be to learn how to build a decent .5 ohm coil and use the rba base for that subtank.

i have two coils, the one i used first was a 0.5Ω coil, then when it started tasting bad i changed back to the 1.0Ω coil.. still the same, i'll try soaking it as you say, though

ah, okay thanks for the advice, i'll try this out for sure

When first using a new coil you need to prime it well. By "priming" I mean putting several drops of eliquid directly into the cotton in the coil before you fill and assemble the tank.

Once you have it all together take a few unpowered puffs (covering the airholes) just to make sure the coil is well saturated. Then you can start vaping.

Thats exactly what I do.

If it was left overnight, I'm sure that wick was completely saturated. I rarely ever prime any of mine (except when I used the stock subtank coils). I just let it sit for 10 minutes or so and it's good to go. First hit is always the scariest, but you'll know right away that you have a wicking problem, rather than walk out the door and 10 minutes later find out your tank isn't wicking properly. Lol.

The OP is using stock coils. The subtank nano does not come with a rebuildable base.

Maybe 35 watts is too much for the 0.5ohm OCC head?
It wouldn't surprise me.

Coils need to be replaced. they build up burned juice on them and start tasting burned. A month is a very long life for most coils. Yes time to buy new coils.

Not being familiar with the Joytech EgoOne, does it have VV/VW? IF so dial it down. I like my wattage at 25 on the .5 factory OCCs. Anything above will eventually present a dry hit as it seems the wicks cant refresh the juice fast enough. I agree that priming it, taking no power hits with the air intake closed off, really helps the wicking (especially when changing juices and higher watts). I do find my factory coils building up rather quickly. Also you could learn to build on these factory heads. IMO it is easier than the rba. There is a great tutorial, step by step, in this forum that shows how. Can't seem to find the link at the moment but will update if I do.

It sounds like you burned the cotton. Once it gets burnt the taste will never go away. Not knowing much about your tank lots of the coils you can replace the cotton just have to learn how. I have one the kanger subtank nanos and you can rebuild the coils its on youtube shows you how.
