It'll taste exactly like if you found an old tire that's been in a swamp for 20 years, dried it out a bit and set it on fire, then got a good lungfull of the smoke coming off it.
or you could be tasting two flavours that don't mix on your coil... if you changed juice and not the coil.

I sometimes get a muted metal-ish taste on fresh builds or coils, goes away after a few tanks or refills
I had the same question, until I went into the vape shop to test some flavors and they accidentally handed me one with an empty tank. All I can say is, you'll know it when you taste it!

If your coil/wick is burnt, you'll recognize it immediately!
Believe me, there will be PLENTY of flavor! Just not the flavor you're looking for!
The smoke from the burnt juice mixes with the little bit of vapor you get. That's a burnt taste.
Coils that have been in too long begin to develop that from crusted juice on the coil and wick. If it's a factory atomizer, clean and dry burn (silica wicks only) or replace the head. If it's one you wound, recoil it with a new wick.

Sorry for being a smart@ss, couldn't resist.
Yeah you would know burnt taste... no mistaking it. It's hard to say what caused what you describe.
High VG content can wick slowly. If that's the problem you may have to do a few primer puffs (without pressing the fire button) to juice up the coil from time to time.
When I was using atomizers, new ones always got a filled with Everclear and cleaned before using them. I imagine the off-flavor is coming from the oils that came in them. I use rba now but when they start tasting weird, a dry burn and a new piece of wick fixes it. Good luck to you and happy vaping.
I agree. Getting a burnt hit is a horrible sensation, especially on a rba. It's generally a product of a lack of juice, so it going to taste like whatever your wicking material is, burning.
In all seriousness, there's your issue with burnt taste. Lots of posts on this forum about it.
Three possibilities I can think of:
Different flavors reach the edge of a burning flavor at different power levels. For example, a tobacco flavor or a menthol can often taste good at quite a bit more power that a sweetened or fruit flavor.
The Istick has been discussed here on ECF as delivering somewhat higher power than the display shows also, so dialing it down may help. Some people are more sensitive to their power delivery than other, and it may be a cause for you. I can't vape at higher power unless it is really smooth, and this device may be adding some harshness.
Another possibility is that the remaining flavor from your previous vape is affecting the taste of what you switched to. In that case a good cleaning may help.
Good luck getting this straightened out!
