I wouldnt really know; not an expert on cleaning (since Im using LRs mostly and keeping them wet once they are fully primed has solved any bad taste issues...), but many times I needed more than one 'cleaning cylce' for some residue would remain...
Run it under hot water for a few minutes, blow it out, juice it up and try again.
What type of atty? If you are only ever dripping with it, you can dewick it by using tweezers and pulling out the wick under the bridge.

Getting to think about it, it sounds as if you are not keeping the atty wet enough; because, this is common for many beginners; It sounds as if you are "getting" a burnt taste (And not as if there was a permanent one), which could translate into a pattern if it matches the dry cylces, and you do mention you are not keeping the atty too wet...
Actually, depending on the type of atty it could be a dry atty. If you have a skirted atty (like the ego-t's), you will need to put some PG or liquid through the battery connecting end as well. I do this slowly and ensure that a few drops of pg reach the other side of my atty so that I'm not getting a dry burn after the blow out. Alcohol makes atomizers extremely dry, so rewetting the other side of the atty seems necessary as well.
Cleaned atty's need 4-5 drips, let it sit a minute, take a vape or two, add 2-3 more drops, and you're usually good to go. Dry atty's will taste like metal and it doesn't matter which type.
