RDA bitter taste

[XeniaVaper]

so it seems like whenever I rewick, and dry burn my rda coils it has a foul taste to it for a while. This time around I may have used a different cotton than normal, but almost always use the same wick. Does anyone else experience this?
turning down the power seems to help some,, but still complete change of flavor

I should add that I don't recall this happening very often when I install a new coil

If the juice you use really builds up a crust, it pits the coil, so it'll never be quite as good as new. It's really so easy to just make a new one I never bother to dry burn anymore!

it was pretty crudded. I'll put a new one in tomorrow. Thanks

sometimes cotton can give a flavor, when fresh. Reducing power, increasing airflow or whatever it takes to reduce the coil temp for the first few puffs helps.

try this method, burn the coil till bright red/orange (hold for 6 to 10 secs) then soap it inside water ( just the coil portion). This will flush out the carbon stuck in the coil. (rep this process for a few times)

Your coil should be clean as new without any foul taste. Anyway, its best to change every week.

Yup, make a new one. Once you dry burn a few times it gets all nasty.

thanks all. I ended up recoiling it a few days ago. Forgot to follow up on this thread.
I scrubbed it down with an alcohol soaked q tip and put a new coil/ wick in, taste went away after a few puffs. It still is strangely harsh though,idk what to think about that. I used to use it with a 28g dual coil at .4-.5 on a mech and it wasn't near as harsh,I can barely turn it to 20 watts with the coil I have(1 ohm 26g single coil).
never done a single coil before, but I wouldn't think it should make that much difference, I'll do dual next time and gone it a shot. Mostly doing mtl his these days anyway.
