Hey im in indiana also. Schererville. Know any vape shops near by? Glad to hear your are trading tobacco for vaping. As for metallic taste, don't run your voltage too hot for your coils and never vape on a low tank with those evods. If the fluid is bottom of the sight glass, fill it before any more vaping or your roast the wicks. There is a 'safe vaping chart' that will show you good voltage levels for a given ohm of coil. Evods i think run either 1.8, 2.4, or 2.8(?)ohms. On 1.8 i use about 3.2volts hope that helps
