hi, I've been vaping for 6 months now and bought an aspire sub ohm cf with the Atlantis tank. I was using .5 coil and the vapour was amazing. I've recently purchased lemo2 and kanger sub tank and been building my own coils. Everytime I vape on .5 I seem to get a burnt taste. I'm vaping on 2.4ohm now and get lots of vapour and favour, just wondering why the sub own coils taste burnt now.
Help with sub ohm vaping

Not familiar with your tanks, but do they have air control? Not enough air flow can cause a burnt taste. The lower you go in resistance the more air flow is required to the coil. The 2.4 ohm coil will not require as much air as the 0.5 ohm will. Just my best guess.
Hi, thanks for your reply. They both have great airflow. They both also came with 0.5 coils. They just taste burnt for some reason. I'm using the same juice (80vg). I used to be able to vape my Atlantis 1 and 2 on 50w and it was amazing. Could there be something wrong with the coils I'm building?
Well, there could be a short in the wire coil, especially if this is your first attempts at making your own coils. Are you using microcoils (loops touching) or open (spaced) coils?
Prior to installing the wick, did you fire the coils to see if they glow from center out? Make sure there is no wire touching anything other than the posts holding it, and that the coil is not touching the building deck. Make sure that the loops look identical to each other (glow equally). Make sure when measuring the ohms that the reading isn't jumping around with different readings.
What are you specifically using for wick material? Cotton, organic cotton, Ko Gen Do or Bacon Cotton, silica?

Would a short cause a burnt taste? I'm testing it on an ohm meter, they read either 0.4/0.5. I'm testing it on my mod and they glow from the inside out. Does the coil have to be spaced out or could I use a micro coil? Thanks

A short can cause a burnt or metalic taste. You have the option to use spaced out or microcoils. This is user's preference. I prefer making microcoils.
