joyetech Evic Vtc Mini w/ Ego One Mega tank - .2 ohm nickel, .4 ohm ti & .5 ohm kanthal coils (problem on all)

bought this starter kit about a week ago, everything was fine for the most part until a few days ago when i upgraded the firmware to 2.0 - had both the battery in the mod and atomizer screwed in while i updated, although i have since downgraded and re upgraded without the atomizer / battery attached.

first thing i noticed was even though the resistance was locked, it would jump up when i am holding the fire button, it didn't do this before - so i looked it up and read that joyetech added live atomizer in the firmware update and that was normal. so i proceeded.

installed a kenthal coil, mod read it .5 as it should, i go to power mode and fire away. flavor and vapor are great at first. later that day i start to get a slight burnt taste. it's not super terrible and not a dry hit (i dont think so anyways, only vaped TC prior to this) but it almost tastes like cigarette filter. i do some searching and realize the .05 ohm ego one coil should only be ran at 25~ watts max. i had been up towards 30, so i attribute the burnt taste to that.

now i switch back to titanium, and after a short period of vaping (5-10) minutes the same thing is happening. not only do i get the slight burnt taste, but barely any vapor as well (at 500-550 f). switched to nickel, and again, the same thing.

if i leave it alone for an hour or so the taste and vapor is fine again for about 15 minutes and the problem repeats itself. when i say fine i mean it is vapeable, the flavor in general has greatly declined since the day i got it.

anybody have this problem? anybody know a solution? does this sound like a mod problem or a tank / coil problem? i ordered a kanger subtank mini some days ago before this started so i hope its just a tank problem. any advice / imput is greatly appreciated.

It's the ego one mega. I had one on my evic VT. The juice holes aren't large enough to keep up with juice demand so the wick slowly gets scorched (they haven't got much wick volume, either).
I know it isn't a very good answer, but get a better tank. If you have hand tools you can drill the juice holes in the ego one atomizer heads out a bit larger and it helps, but I have to say, the who one mega tank is a dud by design for vaping over 15 watts.
