im using the kanger subtank mini and its giving me like what i said in the title,, is it the coil and the wick? does it need replacement? and can you guys tell me the visual symptoms of what the coils and wicks look like if it is burnt? and one more question, how often should i vape so it lasts longer, 2 - 3 puffs every 5 minutes or...?

What resistance and watts are you using ?
The subtank for me with the 1.2Ω coil is good at around 20-30 watts though most are at 15-25 watts from what I read.

In general I always rinse all my tanks and RDA before filling. The coil should be ok as is. You never know if there is machine oil on any part and that causes the off taste. As for use depends on how dark the juice is and how much you push it to know when to change coils.
If you have a brick and mortar by you, stop in as they are usually very helpful. Sometimes the burnt taste means you need to change your coil. Hope this helps.

Got to always make sure the wick is good and wet before you start on a fresh coil, sounds like your getting a dry hit once its primex properly you should be able to go constantly
These may help

With the Kanger Sub Ohm (I have a few) it's a hit and miss that the center tube has a lot of machine oil in it so run a Q-tip down the center hole without the coil attached wash out well and if you are lucky in a tank or two it will be gone.
Empty tank, take the glass off and wash all of the parts in hot water with dish soap, rinse thoroughly and dry...replace the old coil (screw it in tight), refill and enjoy.
With any atomizer/clearomizer/etc., if you let it get too dry or don't allow enough time between puffs for the atty to cool down, you run the risk of burning the juice on the wick. If you look on youtube you can find tutorials for how to rewick your atomizer. Watch any of these to see how to disassemble your piece.
Once you get it disassembled, look at the atomizer (coil of wire around wick). If it is burnt, you will be able to easily tell.
To fix it, dry out the wick as best as you can with paper towels. Be sure not to smash the coil of wirewrapped around the wick (the atomizer).
Once its as dry as you can get it, use pliers to hold the atomizer and wick in a hot flame, like the one on your stove or the one produced by a wind-proof butane lighter. (you want a blue flame)
Hopefully your wick is silica, and will just heat up and burn off all of the old ejuice. If its cotton, it will just burn... You probably want to try just the tip of the wick first so that it doesn't all go up if it is cotton.
Don't leave the wire in the flame for too long or it will become brittle. Just heat it up till it and the wick turn red and then pull it out and set it someplace to cool. It will be hot for a minute or two, so be careful not to burn yourself.
Note that the wick will pop and sizzle due to the ejuice that is already in it. You want to replace your wick after cleaning it this way more than once, especially if your wick gets torn at all.
Hopefully between my suggestion and all the other great ones here, you can get the taste you want out of your piece!
(note that with any new wick, it will take a while to break-in, and will taste funny. It shouldn't taste metallic or burnt, but just be aware that if you rewick you are gonna have about 50 puffs till it tastes normal)

I vaped a bunch of machining oil yesterday trying to figure out what that taste was
Washing with dish soap fixed the problem
yum yum! Could be a new genre of e-juice - High VG machine oil juice - A slick tape lol!
Yes Qasatal, is this your first vaping experience? Has it always tasted this way? If your first experience and all your vaping tasted this way it may be artificial ingredients in the Juice, in MOST juices for that matter. Some of us are sensitive to the artificial stuff.
