Can burnt wicks cause the juice in the tank to retain a burnt flavor?

you lose some you gain some along the way.. had same encounter.. will just screw on another spare tank n vape away.. till later, wash the first one down n soak in lukewarm overnight, and build it back as spare again heh..that's my lazy-style~
Commercial wicks are silica rope and they don't burn--the gunk that accumulates on them does. They can be cleaned (soak in PGA or ISO) and dry burned or torched--if they can be safely isolated from other components.
This is helpful. I previously thought I burnt the wicks on my clearo and it was unsalvageable but washing out and dry burning clear-od (sorry, couldn't resist) up the problem.
In my experience, yes. I once burnt a wick with menthol ejuice in the tank of a stardust. Poured it out and put a new head on. Refilled and the burnt taste was still there. 
For tank types, if you notice a burned taste after turning up your twist or Vamo type, turn it down and dry vape while not pushing the fire button, this will flood the wicks with fresh juice and will most times eliminate the burnt taste.
If you let the burnt tasting atomizer wicks, (they are not really burnt, just have carmelized juice clinging to the coil), steep in the juice without doing a dry vape they will infuse the entire tank full, (like brewing bad tea) and you'll have to throw out the whole works.
Sometimes letting burnt tasting juice sit poured back into a spare bottle will mellow the burnt taste and make it useable again, often times not. You can tell by giving it a wiff or two in a week.
