Continuous burning taste after rebuilding protanks

I don't twist them together. I twist them on themselves to avoid burning grommets. They do start out that way and it seems constant whether I let them sit or not. It also happens when I prime them dropping fluid on the sides and on top of the actual coil.
Your description makes me think of a hot leg. I don't fold anything over on itself. One goes outside then put the insulator in, then the pin where the other leg still is, then clip both as close as possible to the base. If you can feel it when you run a finger around the base, you could be getting a short or hot leg... something along those lines.
And for safety, cuz I believe in it... make sure you're using an ohms checker or multimeter.

Yeah, the wires aren't supposed to touch. Check out this video. Probably can skip forward to the assembly part.

Well, then you shouldn't be having any issues. If you can feel the wires after breaking or trimming, the ends need to be pushed in more, else it will cause a short.
So again... should I be twisting the legs on themselves to avoid burnt grommets, or was that just pre-silicone? NOT TOGETHER, just on themselves to alter the resistance where the legs contact the grommet. This is why Kanger uses res-no res- res wires on the stock builds.

six wraps of 30ga. on 1/16" bit. remove coil and torch. reinsert the drillbit into the coil after torching. adjust your coil and then use the bit to set the height of your coil. it will just fit in the slot provided by the head and put your coil exactly where it goes. don't circumcise the insulator and don't reuse one that is burnt. everything will taste burnt if you do. pull on the negative lead and bend down. insert insulator and bend positive opposite way. remove bit and use nail clippers to remove excess leads. i pull up a little on the positive lead before cutting to make good contact with the bottom of the positive pin. get an aerotank base for $5 and enjoy!
wanted to add not to torch wire before coiling. the wire comes annealed already. once wrapped remove bit and torch coil only. don't want oxidation on the legs. gives better contact and doesn't require nonresistance leads.
pull as much cotton as will still slide through and not so much that you distort the coil threading cotton. good luck
Try a more aggressive mouth draw. Sounds like not enough air draw across the coil. Don't fire the coil if you are not drawing on it also. I do my own coils w/cotton and this has been what I have found.
Thought I would weigh in since I was having the same issue using cotton balls and even cotton thread starting out. Turned out I was using too much, and while it never burnt, it tasted "dryer" for lack of a better term. Just started building on 30ga w/ 8-9 wraps at 1.8-2.0 ohm with 3 strands of cotton yarn on 16ga needle instead of 28ga w/ 4 strands and it is night and day. Had to use a bent piece of kanthal as a needle, then clip ends and remove one strand to get the cotton wicked easily. I will say, it feels loose when going in. Once you reassemble, fluff the ends of the cotton and be sure to put the grommet back on. I haven't had a single gurgle or dry hit which is amazing after 2 weeks of banging my head against the wall.
Also, I've found that microcoils will warm up the base a bit, MUCH more than the stock coils. I think it is the concentrated heat from the design, but haven't had any issues from it. Hope that helps out a little. I was ready to give up and go back to stock after all the issues over the last couple weeks, but stick with it, these rival my RDA now. Ohh yeah, consider getting an aerotank base as well. The looser draw seems to help a bit with higher wattage. Good luck.

Never twist the wire's if possible.
Base getting hot is a sign of coil running hot; some of us like it that way other's don't.
Getting a burnt taste lower voltage coil running to hot and your wick should be changed at ASAP.
Getting dry burns could because of not getting enough of juice to the coil a flavor wick would help with this issue.
Thickness of wick is very important; have to play with this until you find what works for you. Not lose and not tight snug fit is where you want to be.
I find using a 16 GA needle threaded through coil then inserting cotton wick into the needle then pull needle back out of coil then trim wick works good for me. I also wrap my coils around the needle.
Want larger coil I use a larger GA needle; smaller I use a smaller GA needle.
BURNT TASTE IS BECAUSE YOUR COIL IS RUNNING HOT AND BURNNING THE WICK
Voltage is to high or not getting enough of juice to wick/coil which will cause it to run hot.
Once wick gets burnt you can't remove the burnt flavor and need to change your wick ASAP.
Like everything it's all about the learning curve hang in they your get it right.
