Hmm read a thread on here within the last week where cleaning the atomizer fixed a guys problem with the same type of problem. Cleaning fixed his problem.
Have watched maybe 3 rip tripper vids hate the drama.
You seem to like drama though ?
The old chicago saying. LoL. Wasnt the same thing said about your D last year after getting Allen and Houstan
No because last yrs defense was just the same as lovie smiths crappy tampa 2 hate that defense once a team figures it out it's all over but they kept doing it and doing it anyways this nee d is a total overhaul so should be interesting
It could be that the wicking isn't keep up with you and your vape is a bit too hot as a result.
the 1.5 at 4 volts is 6 watts
at 8.55 watts with the new coil you are getting more vape
I've had machine oil to varying degrees on both authentics and clones. I soak and scrub all new attys.
Does sound like cleaning issue if it tastes like machining oil... I always clean any new tank, even the beginner tanks, then wipe thoroughly with paper towels, Q-tips and pipe cleaners to get as much of the water out of all parts. I did find that tight and loose wicking did give me a dry throat. Rip trippers can be a pain to watch if you don't get where he's coming from (he wants to be entertaining to keep the views up and it sounds like that worked in general), but I do live by ONE thing he has said a lot (in MY words): you want that wick to be easy to pull through. No too tight or plain loose, but easy enough to pull through.
I found that too thin a wick, I got dryer hits, sometimes burnt taste. Too tight, I got almost tasteless hits that irritated my throat, while it took some days to get a burnt tasting hit.. Good wicking will get so much better taste and consistent vape than a regular atomizer.
BTW, check out early Rip Trippers videos and he was boring. I'm not defending him, I'm just saying he went a tad overboard to keep the views up.

I love rip trippers myself he's a great vape ambassador to me somebody else was hating on hin not me lol like they say cant please everyone I'll be recleaning and rewicking though I will figure it out it's one of the things I like about vaping always learning and trying new things
There could be anything on a new tank. Maybe they use detergent to wash off the manufacturing residue and don't rinse it well enough. Maybe they spray it with something to stop it rusting in transit. I reckon it's worth cleaning new tanks, just like I would always wash a new coffee cup.
When I got my Lemo I wanted to try it right away so I used it with the preinstalled coil and wick. I washed most of it but couldn't wash the coil deck. It had a funny taste for a while. Not really unpleasant and it went away eventually.
I once got a scratchy throat with no other symptoms. That was when I first started mixing my own juice. I put it down to vaping way more than normal because I was trying out 12 new flavours. Could have been one of the flavours, or pushing a lot of nic down my throat, or just the volume of warm vapour I was inhaling. It went away when I got over the new juice excitement and went back to my normal level of vaping.
Things like this happen. A lot of the time you never figure out the reasons.
All good suggestions...Here's another one Chi...did you dry burn that coil (without the cotton) prior to using it?
Pulse-burn it until it's red hot a few times next time you have it apart.. I always heat new coils until they glow for 5 seconds minimum prior to use.
You'd be amazed at the difference in taste and performance. Also when you do that observe the coil to see that it's heating properly. It should start the red glow in the center and move out. If not, squeeze gently with needle nose or tweezers after pulsing (but not while you're hitting the go button)--then pulse again and verify performance.
Once that's done you should notice a difference in "bite" and taste.

Also, make sure your wick is completely wet and put a drop on the coil... dry and/or unburnt coils can taste like metal. Coil materials can also come in bad quality types. Having a look at your wick can also give a clue: if it looks dark or burnt then you need to change that wick. It can be surprising how fast a wick might change color under the right (or wrong) circumstances.
I know, lots of info at once, but all great pointers by everyone. All factors need to be taken into consideration.
