0.2ohm build, burnt taste

[Sabir]

0.2 ohm micro build
Japanese cotton

After a couple of hits I get a burnt taste. Although my cotton is still juiced and not dry. Any ideas?

wicking too tight, lack of air flow.

Thanks elvis, I don't think the wicking is too tight and I'm pretty sure I get plenty of air flow

Also I just noticed that my coils would catch fire after 3+ seconds? Maybe that's where I'm getting the burnt taste from?

That would be a hot spot. Fire it in a low light condition and look for the fiery legs. You may be able to strum them out if not just remove that coil all together since you have 3.

I took out the wicks and two of them seem to have disconnected. Fired it up and didn't seem like any hotspots. I really didn't feel safe with that build so I just replaced it with a dual 0.4 ohm micro build with regular organic cotton. Seems to be working perfectly now. Thanks guys.

You are thinking logically.

use the steam engine calculator.
aim for about 200 heat flux.

Sounds like the wick was packed too tightly. When dry, the wick should slide back and forth fairly easily in the coil. Really important in that triple micro build since the whole center of each wick is covered completely by the coil.
