I personally only have that "new wick" taste for the first hour or so, sometimes less. It's not a big deal to me, and it's pretty common.

So, where are you getting your Kanthal? I get mine from Temco and have never had this problem.

so do you think it's normal cause many people does not experience that taste of new coil
I'm really getting sick of that taste

BTW this taste is just something new in my vaping since about 2 or three months now
i'm vaping now for about one year and i never had this problem

Try a different wick material or just try cleaning the material first. Cotton will absorb or take on outside odor very easily and those odors may be transferring into the liquid.

Do you pre-burn or torch your coil before wicking it?

I've had what you described when I've been in a hurry and forgot to do so...never do that again

You could try to clean the inside of the stack bc I had this happen and the stack & tip really held that taste. Also try to prime your coils with putting some juice in the coil prior to putting it on your tank and then take some light dry pulls blocking the air flow holes until you don't see air bubbles coming from the coil openings. Good Luck

I get a "new cotton" taste when I rebuild with any "japanese" cotton, but it doesn't last very long. I found Cotton Bacon and have been using it for a couple of months now. It doesn't have that problem, plus it seems to wick faster in my genesis style tanks and hold more juice in my drippers. It also seems to last a little longer.
