I've been vaping a few months now, and was just wondering if there was an official count for this. I just notice that when I take a hit right after or closely after one, it'll taste burnt. I'm assuming the coil is still hot and burning the juice. I usually wait a few seconds, because of it. Is this normal?
How long do you take in between each vape?

I'd say the juice isn't wicking quick enough to keep up with you! You can either take a powerless hit to draw juice into the wick to prime it or try some tricks to get it to wick better. What are you using for a tank and what kind of juice?
protank mini II 2.5 w/ Five Pawns Queenside powered by a Vamo V3, and occasionally a Vision Spinner
The protanks come with flavor wicks in the coils, you can try taking them out to make it wick faster. Take the base off and the little chimney top of the coil can be popped off. Under that is two or three "flavor wicks" (little wicks that just sit loose on top of the coil). Remove them exposing the coil that's wrapped around some more wick. Snap the little chimney back on and try that! I just had to do that with a 2.2 Ohm coil in my mini protank and it made a huge difference.
Also if your juice is a high VG blend, that will make it wick slower too.
Here's a picture I found on the net...
Once you remove the flavor wicks it will look like the pic...

All good advice above.... I also rebuild my PT 2 coils with organic cotton. I find it wicks much better than the silica.
you can make your own coils too, info is in my blog (the first post at bottom)
its made a huge difference in my vapor/flavor. but now I need to clean my coils/tanks cuz I vaped my head off all day yesterday and today.

im not able top chain vape much with my protank2 but I can chain vape for days with my carto tanks and my K100
Wait...your supposed to take a break between vapes...now you tell me. I've had this thing hooked to my lips for 16 months.
LOL
I've broken down the atty on the protanks before to clean them (i just learned a couple weeks ago that they can be cleaned and reused, so I've been doing that), and during the process of breaking them down, I just leave one instead of the two it comes with (the flavor wicks). If I remove all of them, would that affect taste at all? The Queenside is a 50/50 VG/PG blend.

I've noticed to that a couple of my evod/protank coils have come from the factory with the coils wrapped really tight around the wicks which can cause the choking and prevent the juice from flowing nicely. In the end it could just be a dud coil that no matter what you do doesn't wick good.
I always keep my dirty and spent coils as I plan to learn how to recoil them eventually. It looks really easy on some videos I've seen.

I removed all of my "flavor" wicks and it didn't effect the taste at all (except no more burnt taste!)
sweet, well next time I break down my dirty coils/attys I'll just remove all the wicks.
Links in my blog, and notes about what extra tools i piled up to help make it easy (its easy). Just have some way to test new coils. Just cuz.
I use Kanger Protank, make my own coils (2.0 - 2.2ohms), cotton yarn wicks, flavor wicks, use an Innokin SVD, CHAIN vape 100% VG (Johnson Creek Tennessee) at 8.5 - 9.0 volts - great flavor, vapor - hardly ever a dry hit......
Nice! I'll check it out, Thanks! At the moment I only have an MVP2 to check the Ohms on microcoils I build for my mini RDA.
