Cotton is wet, still taste burnt.

[Erik098]

I'm using dual stove-top coils at .8 ohms on a Patriot RDA and even if there's juice sitting in the well, I get a mild burnt taste. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
I also, just replace the cotton and cleaned the coils.

I'm on a Nemesis mech mod.

Are you using a mech mod, or a regulated device?

If the latter, what wattage/voltage you firing at?

Also, as a side note, my one experience with stove-top coils was meh, though you might be able to make it work.

can you post a picture of your setup?

probably need to clean coils off how old are they?

How experienced are you making & wicking coils?

If you're relatively new, why not just build simple coils initially. I've been vaping for over 3 years, rebuilding for over a year, and I've not found any advantage for using exotic coils other than for pure entertainment or enjoyment value. I build simple microcoils (dual coil, 0.6 ohm 28 gauge Kanthal) in my Patriot RDA.

If using organic cotton as wick material, you may be experiencing that "new cotton" taste which can taste burnt innitially. After a few hours vaping that taste seems to disappear.

If there happens to be a short or hot spot in your coils, that can cause a burnt or metallic taste. Did all of your coils glow evenly, from center outward?

I hate when the OP asks for advice and then I see Baditude has answered already. Makes everything I was going to say pointless as It's hard to improve on Baditude's advice.

If you are using organic cotton balls it helps to spread the cotton out a bit and fluff it up a bit. Ive found that fresh cotton flavor is much less prominent when you do.

I have tried quite a few more specialized builds but the best for me always seems to come when i follow the kiss method. Keep it simple stupid ;p

It's likely that the wicking is not as tight or too tight within the coil and/or your watts are too high, what ohms are you vaping at and what type of coils did you build? Pic?
