Burnt taste usually means its either not wicking properly, or, more likely, you "overvaped" the cart you're using and burned the filler. Cleaning the cart might get rid of the burnt taste, but you can try just swapping to a different cart to see if the taste disappears. In the worst case, you may need to replace the filler material in the cart.

Try blowing it out first, some juices seem to build up in there and just keep tasting burned until you get rid of it. Blow through it either through a drip tip or with nothing on the end and keep blowing until no liquid comes out, use a tissue to catch the liquid. Refill and try vaping again.

If that doesn't work you can try a soak in alcohol, either isopropyl or grain alcohol, 30 minutes should do it. Then blow it out as much as possible and let it dry completely. I let them dry at least overnight. Refill and try vaping.
Some people boil theirs but I haven't tried it so can't comment on whether it works or not.

But sometimes they're just beyond salvage and it's time to replace them.

i have a hunch certain juices can gunk up and foul an atty ....

you might try the "dry burn" see highping's huge thread... OP is suffiecient... "my atty resurrection method".

i imagine you aren't over burning your juice... and keeping atty a bit wet prevents that.

if you find a good atty be sure to have backups...

I keep a box for used attys and when i get down to just a couple or few new ones, go with ping's dry burn method.
