Train2 I haven't used a Twist myself but I've heard they can be a little buggy sometimes. Have you made sure it's not a problem with your atty or the connection? I'd try it with a different one. My T3 would NOT fire on my Ego-V when I got it but everything else worked fine... Just for the heck of it I changed over to a spare head/base piece and it worked. The other works on my other batteries.
Flamesonfire it's hard for me to tell from here of what's normal and what's over-burnt but have you had that apart before? In mine the coil was wrapped around one of the wicks and the other sat on top. Won't hurt to try another one, but I wouldn't toss that just yet.

I meant not when I could turn back up but I was asking if setting it at low would I get an immediate fix or would it take time before the taste went away so I could start adjusting

Definitely check the voltage. Some B&M's honestly don't know what they're talking about and don't care to explain what a battery or mod does when they're pushing it to you. Most are honest and will spend time with you, others just try to make a sell to push you out.
1). Check the voltage. The twist is adjustable, so he could have upped the voltage because he felt a 2.4 ohm coil would be better suited with a higher voltage (not always the case).
2). Make sure you give your wicks time to saturate. Top coils need more time to soak up the juice, so you can't always fill and vape, this is especially true on a new wick and coils. Top coils work against gravity as the liquid is moving up and if the juice has a higher VG content, it needs more time to soak as VG is much thicker than PG. Even 50/50 blends can take a little extra time.
3). Adjust your draw. If you're hitting it like a cigarette, ease back a little. If you're draw is hard, you could be pulling more juice off the wick than it can pull in, which leads to a dry and often nasty burnt taste. As a comparison, if you're draw is like trying to drink a thick milkshake, you're probably hitting it too hard. If it's like you're drinking a soda, you should be good to go.
As for recommendations, the Protank II is wonderful. It uses a smaller bottom coil, so you don't have the madusa looking wicks sticking out and it works with gravity, so liquid is pulled down into the wick as you vape. I own 6 of them right now and they are my primary tanks.

Same price at both places, but they're both recommended.
All that being said, I've never had an issue with a top coil silicone cap being pushed down too much. Unless it's physically making contact with the coil, it shouldn't be an issue. If it is, you'll know it as it'll be melted into the coil. The stuff has high heat resistance, but not to the point where it'll withstand constant and continual heat from a mini heating element without some sort of damage.

If your wick isn't ruined, I think you should notice an immediate difference. I'm still wondering why at least one of the wicks wasn't wrapped in the coil though. The one I just looked at had all the wick wrapped in it, the replacement from before was some in and some on top... I don't know. Haven't seen enough other versions
Sorry to thread-interrupt!
yeah - I checked on FOUR clearos and they all act that way.
And I checked that the pin wasn't stuck down - plus it is making a connection, or I'd get NOTHING...
Flame, sounds like you hit them on 4.2 and fried some juice right off the bat.
It IS hard to read the numbers - perhaps twice, you started on highest instead of lowest?
Once you have that burnt flavor, you sometimes just need a new head...
Plus - I also highly recommend you try an EVOD or T3 or if you need glass, a miniProTank. I like them all better than the top coil, long wick clearos.

oh ok i hear you.. i misunderstood. turning it down should see an immediate fix if the atty isnt bad
New atty lowest setting still had the taste did this before I read the post about letting the juice sit
don't know if I just blew another atty. debating on if throwing in my last atty and letting it soak over night should do the trick

All the ones I have been using the wicks are a crisp black right where the coil is! Is that normal? Should I trash them? Sorry if I'm so Newby before this I had disposables where my only issue was leaking so I hopped knee deep into this tonight

Hm, I'm not sure what to tell you then. May just be a dud.
I second (or third?) the recommendations for a bottom coil clearo though. I have a T3 and a Mini Protank and I love them both, never had a problem with them not wicking right unless I was running them at some ungodly voltage (5+).
They're gonna be discolored but I don't think they should be crispy? If you've been using them for a while (couple weeks?) it may just be time to replace. I'm pretty new at all this replacement stuff too but if I'm getting a constant burnt taste and I've already made sure the wicks are saturated by tilting and adjusting voltage, I won't wait too long before tossing a brand new one in.
Your clearomizers look like an I Clear. I agree that you should not be getting a burnt taste. The key is to let the wick get the initial saturation and and not let the wicks dry out. If you do you get the dry burnt taste. I use those sometimes when out and about and lay it on the side so the juice keeps wicking.
What I do when I change flavors is to remove the coil assembly and take of the silicone cone on top of the coil and drop it in some hot water for a minute, remove it , blot it dry with a paper towel and if the coil is gunked up dry fire it using the pulse method. then reassemble it fill the clearomizer with liquid and let it wick for a few minutes. For me this works every time and can extend the life of the head greatly.
Okay so the tank I swapped the head on after laying off it a bit I've noticed the taste is a whole lot less strong not sure if this is because of the low setting or because I wasn't letting it saturate! Either way I'm looking at all these tanks suggestions and i have some questions? Other then looks what's the major individual differences between what I have, the protank 2, the mini(assuming it's just smaller), an the evod tanks? So far I'd like to thank everyone for helping me in a bind I've been frustrated messing with this thing all night and my roommates repeatedly keeps saying screw that and offering me analogs. It was getting tempting so I truly appreciate all the help so far

I'm not sure how clear this picture is (click) but this is what the one I just had apart looks like, for reference. It hasn't seen a ton of use but I can still see the "threads" down there as opposed to seeing a bubbled melted looking blob.
So far the ones I took apart were not even spirals like the new ones granted I realized the settings on the new battery the guy in store had cranked up to 4.4 when I've kept mine locked on 3.6 since I got it

The difference between what you have, and the protank, mini, and evod is where the coils are placed. The three mentioned are all Bottom coil which means they have a coil on the bottom with really short wicks. I found them too work better for me. I have an evod and a mini protank 2 and I like them both. I might give a slight edge to the mini for flavor. It will definately be easier to clean. You can completely disassemble the mini protank 2 as well as the protank 2. And yes you are correct the mini is just smaller.
Well I hope you get it figured out. Nothing more irritating than that burnt taste.
I agree the Mini does give a nice flavor but I haven't tried the same flavors in that and the T3 (very similar to the Evod from what I can tell). Main thing I noticed is the CE5 and top coil models in general give a warmer vape, the Mini seems to give a nice in-between temperature, and the T3 seems cooler.
