Bottom Dual Coil question

[maybeshewill]

Hey there,
I'm new to vaping, but it's kept me away from real smokes for two months plus now, so no complaints. Plus it tastes better!
My question as the title suggests is about BDCs and such
I recently picked up an Aspire BDC clearomizer. I've found it very satisfactory, an improvement over the default CE4's that came with the initial starting kit.
However, I feel I might have goofed up at some point. It occasionally gives out a burnt scent and flavour. Might have I already burned the headpiece out? (I've only been using it for a week). Or would this be a normal lifespan for a BDC piece?
Being new I may have not used some of the jargon correctly, forgive me. Ask me if you have any questions and I will try to answer as clearly as possible.

Happy new year, thanks for reading

Probably yes, coil burned out. Did you get spare coils (heads) when you bought the tank? Try putting new coil head in the tank. Or it could be it just needs a good cleaning.

If the new coil doesn't fix your problem it could be a wicking issue. Not enough juice getting to your coils. Could be a question of airflow or vacuum. If you are using a thicker juice maybe try a slightly thinner version with higher pg ratio. Pg tends to be thinner. Dry hit it to get the juice wicking this could help saturate your wick as well.

I brought spare heads, yes. I followed a simple cleaning guide I found and my problem seems so far solved.

I'm using a 50-50 vg-pg juice, but as I said above, after some simple cleaning maintenance it appears fixed. I will keep your advice nonetheless!

Thank you both for the response!

I hate any stock coil I get with any bottom coil.. I instantly rebuild them myself. However, if it's not a constant thing that you are getting this burnt taste, it is probably a wicking issue. You are getting dry hits from it not wicking correctly or you are low on juice.. Sometimes with me it was caused by the flavor wicks.

Also as a quick fix, try to primer puff if wicking is indeed the issue.
