I am new also been vaping for about 4 months so I don't know know alot yet either. I am going to try to help you though. I think you might have to break the atty in but not sure. I think you might need to turn the volt down and drip more than 4 drops to prime it the first time. I have never dripped before and not sure how to do it but I know when you use an atty for the first time you have to prime it. I think the volts is too high though, might want to try 3.7 volts at first. I am just trying to give you some kind of help. I am just seeing this and am sorry nobody answered you. Usually people answer right away. Maybe they didn't see your thread. I hope others chime in here to help you out. Sorry I am not much help but hope it helps even just a little.

sometimes atomizers come with a primer fluid on them that is just nasty !! you have clean that stuff off before using..

rinse them really well with PGA or water and blow that out,,do a couple of good dry burns then drip your juice and vape

I remember getting this with 510s from time to time, but never could figure out why it happened. It tasted a lot like nickel to me and really ruined by vape. It was worse with new atomizers, but would even show up with well broken-in ones. In my case, it wasn't caused by running the atomizer dry, but I hear that's often the case. The only way I could get it to go away was to not use the atomizer for a day, so I rotated between two atomizers.

I haven't tried this, but it makes sense and might help:
