Help! Why does my juice taste like burnt plastic no matter what?

I know several people told you to lower the voltage on your atty. if the coil is already fried you'll want to replace it first. When you replace the coil prime it before you set it up. After you screw in the new head put a drop of juice on the exposed wick - both sides of it. This will prevent burning the coil on your first fire.
Also check the resistance of the coil. If it's kanger it'll be somewhere between 1.5 and 2.5. Double check every-time you change it; just to be on the safe side.
My voltage rule of thumb is to add 2 to the resistance and set that as voltage, and adjust up and down from there.
For instance if it's a 1.5ohm coil I would:
1.5 ohm + 2= 3.5v
I would set volts to 3.5 and adjust up or down till I was happy.
Depending on the juice 3..5 will more than likely be good.

Also- if the coil has been in that tank for a whole it wouldn't be a bad idea to go ahead and give it a good cleaning with warm water before setting it back up. You'll wanna soak it in warm water for a an hour or so (the tank, base and tip) then give it a good rinse and dry- I used to use a qtip to clean and dry the center shaft and inside the base just to double check and residue wasn't hanging around to come through the fresh cleaning.

Are you vaping a spearmint, cinnamon or gummy bear flavor? These will dissolve your plastic tank. It will taste exactly like burning plastic, but you say you are using a protank II which is glass so that shouldn't be the issue unless you first F'd up an evod plastic tank and are using the same coil in the protank. That taste will never get out of the coil. You'll have to throw it away. But if this isn't your problem I'd say you might have some sub ohm coils or something. Do you buy your coils? Look on the side and the resistance is printed there. It should not be below 1.8 with an evod battery or any regulated battery... or any battery that doesn't specifically state that it can handle lots of amps.

I don't think your battery is the problem unless it is defective and/or broken and delivering too much voltage. The most likely culprit would be that you used some plastic melting juice and melted something and that's what you are tasting.

So I have tried a Kanger Variable voltage, I also have an G6 from Halo.

No luck, the only flavor that ever works is menthol. I love menthol but I'd like to vape other flavors. It's like I'm cursed to forever vape menthol or something. Any other flavor I try on my devices taste like I just sucked smoke from an exhaust pipe or something; an extremely harsh punch to the throat and lungs with a burning flavor. I've tried PG/VG ratios, even pure PG. I get my coils from legit places. I've tried brand new coils, cleaning my tank, pretty much everything I can think of. On a rare occasion I get a puff of good pure flavor, but the only flavor that is consistently clean and smooth is menthol. It makes me wonder if maybe menthol prevents some sort of burning interaction, or perhaps even that menthol just masks any burning flavor.

It might be notable that the only flavors I have tried are tobacco, vanilla, and menthol. I don't know.

bad coil and/or old juice and/or power is too high

maybe the power is too high..what battery do you use?
