Windows Vista Quad Core...and I'm starting to lean toward washing out the atty.
510 mouthpiece - paint loss, metallic taste?

Ok, yeah; that sounds like the next logical step to me too. I'll put it aside for later, as I don't have any vodka handy. (I know, I know, but it's just not my drink of choice.

(I really have to learn to hit return, at least until/unless I find the edit button) Thanks for the help!
I'm back.
Short of alcohol, I think you can use mouth wash. I really don't recommend this kind of thing either--but if something was in there--what choice would I have.
If you do go to washing--I do that just before I went to bed. Let it dry overnight (stand it up on its end) and next morning blow it out...maybe let dry even longer.

The gunk on the cart could be dried juice.
The hard plastic mouth pieces on my pen style get a kind of tan looking buildup on the hole part if I neglect to rinse them.
The first time it happened I scraped it out with an angled piece of coffee stirer. It was a ring of waxy almost plastic build up that I can only surmize was dried juice that had either leaked out or condensed on the mouth piece.

Forgot to add I tried the mouthwash cleaning on some attys that were realy burnt tasting and after soaking overnight,blowing out and rinsing real good they lost the burnt taste. Make sure and rinse them good or there may be a residual taste of mouth wash. There was one of mine like that.
I ended up dripping some straight VG on it for 3or 4 times to get rid of the after taste.

Suggest do the least imposing first:
Remove the atty and blow from cart end first into a paper towel near the threaded end. Do this a few times. Try out the atty. If no go, blow from the other end (threaded end out toward the cart end) a few times into paper towel. Then try the vg or pg and if the taste is still there go with 151 vodka the cheap stuff pure grain alcohol - I have "Galen's" 151 charcoal filtered uncolored unflavored. $12 and worth having around. You can also use this (or Everclear) for cutting VG if you do DIY juice.
Just put some of the vodka in the chamber, and bridge - shake and blow it out, let dry, etc. If no go - soak it for an hour.... this is only necessary with some new attys with nasty primer fluids and some need none of this at all.
edit:
I might point out that I've had two BE510 (SLB's?) that I have that no amount of washing in vodka helped removed a metalic taste. I don't know why that is.
