Even after dripping the ejuice into the bvcs and letting it sit for 5 minutes and doing a few dry puffs, I still get like no flavor of moo juice and greenapple and it tastes burnt... At this point im beginning to think its Mtbakervapor, even though 3 of ejuices ( caramel candy, rootbeer, cinnamonroll) all work fine. Plus all of them have great vapor production even the moo juice and green apple are producing clouds yet still no flavor and its burnt. Perhaps anyone else has some tips or reasoning why this is happening?

Well I dont vape in watts I use volts and I mainly do 3.8. 1.6 ohm and its a nautilus aspire bvc coil

With that resistance and voltage you're vaping at just over 9 watts. Most people using that type of coil vape in the 7 to 8 watt range. Try setting your voltage at 3.4 or 3.5. Burnt taste is usually the result of your device not wicking fast enough to keep up with the heat of the coil.

I've found different juices wick differently, especially if the percentage of vg is higher.

I agree wit Irwink.

The juice quality should not induce a burnt taste. A burnt taste would be from poor cotton/ silica saturation. Neither VG nor PG burn particularly easy at most device outputs.

I would say your burnt taste is a piece of silica/ cotton that is burnt to the coil somewhere. Additionally once the burnt taste is there its there. Replace the whole heating element or clean thoroughly and I mean thoroughly.

Sounds scientific right? Not really.

SILICA does not burn - at least not at any temperatures we use to vape. I pass my silica through Flame until cherry red when building coils to clean off any contaminants.

However, restricted wicking Will cause burnt E-liquid flavoring and rapid caking if the coil/wick.

Op, you did not specify Power source type.
Provari - Very accurate
YJ lavatube - Horribly inaccurate

You should always, ALWAYS start a new flavor at a lower power setting and bump up as needed. Should you get a burntish taste, lower power immediately and try again(after primer puffing)

When my wife was using spinners she was at 3.5 to 3.7v. Never had a bvc give a burnt hit. When we replace bvc's we have to come down on wattage for the first couple of tanks than go back to normal for us, no burnt taste just changes the flavor on our atf juices slightly. I use max vg at 10 to 14w depending on bvc condition and the wife at 8 to 9.5w with 50/50 juice. The only time I see a spinner in my wife's since I got her a MVP is when she go's somewhere but thats starting to change.

Agree with all of the advice above. Any time you're getting a burnt taste, it's because your output is too high. Swap out the coil and try the trouble juices at a lower voltage. Step up slowly if needed, then drop it back down at the first hint of a burnt taste. Juices will require different settings even if put through the same tank with the same head on the same mod.
