Curious if this happens to anyone else?

I am having the same issue with the coil and wicks in one of my tanks. And it is a brand new tank and coil. At first I thought the coil was screwed in too tight but I tried loosening it a little to no avail. I'll try messing with the wicks to see if that is causing the burnt taste. Hopefully it is the same as your problem and I can fix it.

If this doesn't help fix it let us know more about your problem and we will try to help you. And Welcome to Halo Kitti H.

Here's an even worse problem to have....

BWAHAHAHAHAHA about the only thing worse than that happening to you is reading that happened to you in the newspaper name and all!!! ROFLMFAO

I can't wait until AngiBeCrazy reads that and finds new stuff to do to Wheezal.

I emptied the tank, removed the coil, disassembled the coil, rinsed all of the parts including the wicks, and allowed them to dry for a few hours. During that time I put in a different coil (also new) and had the same exact problem. It seems to me that the drip tip is hugging the rubber sleeve and tightening/loosening it much more in this tank than my other one, so I have to loosen the coil slightly and screw the tip on extremely carefully. If I fully tighten the coil, then the tip makes it too tight. When I unscrew the tip it pretty much completely unscrews the coil. I don't have this issue with my purple tank at all. I did not see any burn marks or blemishes on the wicks for either coil I tested. And no damage or dirt on the coils themselves. So I have absolutely no clue why this particular tank is giving me a burnt taste. :/ Going to keep fiddling with it, but if nothing works I'm going to call Halo for a replacement tank because this one is brand spankin' new.

occasionally the alignment of the post in the tank is off enough to cause problems. I know one of mine is off enough that when i unscrew the tip it always unscrews the coil too. So I always need to resit the coil when I refill that 1 tank.

Ha, that happened to me several times in the past. I essentially had to do what you did Evie and use a little wiggle magic and re-positioning of the flavor wicks. On other times though, I realized that the ohms on the coil were not what were actually being pushed through. When I tested it with one of my meters, I was getting some crazy readings that were nowhere near what the coil was supposed to be. I checked the whole pack and sure enough, they were all that way. I would say they were improperly labelled, but last I checked Halo didn't make sub ohm coils; no worries though. Anyways, what's up

the triton battery has short protection, or over amperage protection, and wouldn't fire if the coil was below 1.x ohms,
it would just blink at you, with a dumb look on its button, and it would say "dude" in a sarcastic computerised voice.

I did manage to fix my issue. Disassembled the coil again and took a closer look and a couple wires were touching in the new coil, so I carefully separated them with a safety pin. Just came packaged that way. And I had to leave it just loose enough to not leak but also not get too tight when I screwed the tip on. No more burnt taste! So from now on I will always check my coils when replacing them.

Glad you got it all worked out Kitti.
