I have a curiosity question. I'm currently using my MVP 2 with a Kanger T3s tank and my vap tastes burnt. Its a 2.1 ohms and I'm running it at 3.7 volts. I've tried changing the voltage higher and lower and it still tastes burnt to me. What causes this? Is there something that I can do to fix this problem?
Burnt taste?

I would take it apart drop it in a clear alcohol (pga, vodka, rubbing alcohol) let set for a few minutes swish it around a little take it out and if using rubbing alcohol rinse let dry completely replace the coil with a new one and put back together try again.
I believe everything in pg, vg and nicotine can vaporise, but not everything in most flavors will vaporise, therefore as you use your coil, stuff that can't vaporize ends up accumulating on the coil.
Typically after a few days of weeks of vaping depending on what and how you vape, the coil will get gunked up and the taste will be off.

I've been vaping on this tank for about 3 weeks now. I didn't know you could take them apart to clean them. I'll see if I can find a youtube video on tearing this thing apart and cleaning it out.
Omg... I found a video on cleaning out the tank and how to dry fire it and such and I can't believe it worked! I'm getting twice the vapor now than what I was getting before, and I no longer have a burnt taste in my mouth! This is fantastic! I thought that I was going to have to spend more money, but this is amazing, lol. I really love vaping! lol
Also try soaking particularly gunky coils in alcohol like vodka or even isopropyl. Blow them out before you dry burn them. After you burn them, rinse them as well and blow them out from the bottom to remove even more burnt gunk. Really extends the life of them.
I'm going to get the stuff to build my own coils. After seeing how easy it was to do it I'm going to give it a shot. The stuff to buy them is pretty cheap too, which makes me smile. This way I'm not wasting money on prebuilt coils.
For my kanger I unscrew the coil and pull off the metal stem with needle nose pliers or just holding it with a paper towel. Then I rinse the actual wick and lightly brush it with a baby nipple cleaner (but a soft toothbrush would probably be ideal). I then rinse it again really well, and fold up a paper towel and hold the edge of it against the wick (you kind of feed it in there and hold it to let it suck the water out).
I do that in multiple spots of the paper towel to make sure I dry the wick out as much as possible. If you don't you have to zap the water off the wick and I always feel like I'm going to burn it. Then replace the metal stem, put it back in the tank, fill, and enjoy. I do this every couple of days.

What flavor are you vaping? This can have a lot to do with burnt taste, my experience has been that darker blends (such as coffee/vanilla or a blend of the two) will cause the coils to need cleaning more than the clear flavors. Changing the flavor wick on top (if present) regularly helps. I prefer to use the silica wick scraps from coil rebuilding for this purpose, no wasted material.
In fact, I've had one clear flavor (Relax Pina Colada from Vapor Beast) that's been topped off several times, almost half of the 30ml bottle & have yet not had to rinse/change the coil. Though I did replace the flavor wick once, as the stock ones are made of the cheap stuff.
As for cleaning the coils, if they've not burned out, I remove them & allow hot tap water from the bathroom sink to trickle over them for 4-5 minutes. Then dry as much as possible with a paper towel, afterwards place the coil on a small box beside of my main laptop with the coil facing the exhaust vent. The warm, sometimes hot, air will dry these much faster than just turning them upside down.
When I reuse that coil, I always do so with the same or very close flavor. Usually they don't last as long as when new, but any added life is better than none. Too, the reused coil doesn't need to be broken in, new ones (or rebuilt) takes a bit to vape really good.
Also, I aim for 2.3-2.5 ohms, seems like the 1.8 ohm ones runs hotter by nature.

I have 4 brand new protank 2's and the first day, great. Now a weird burnt taste, just the second day! It makes me feel stupid, these tanks & analogs don't! Open & light them up! Getting tempted...
Yes, you got to service the coil; that's why alot of people end up eventually getting rebuildables.
People who are prepared to replace a coil atomizer head every day or 3 or week just end up getting carto-tank systems with throwaway cartos.
Don't do it barbchris!!! Stay the course to quitting smoking!!! My set up I currently use was pretty cheap to start with. I got my t3s for 7 bucks and the battery I started with for 9 bucks. Holds 3ml of liquid and it works fantastic! Cheaper than a weeks worth of smokes and it lasts quite a while.
