Is this the right taste?

So I tried my MOV NET last night with my protank ii and while my Spinner battery was faulty, I got a few samples. I let my wick soak with liquid in the tank for 15 minutes. Took some puffs at lowest voltage, and the vape primarily tasted like (unburned) cotton. Maybe the slightest tinge of maple syrup or something. Turned the voltage up a tad, got a burned cotton taste. Either the flavor didn't get to the wick, or juice tastes extremely mild in this thing. Any input?

Before you fill the tank, take the coil head and remove the air tube (may need pliers)... drip your juice on the flavor wick and coil wick until saturated. Reinstall the air tube... and take the top wick cup seal and reinstall it upside down... with the "cup" facing up.
We are "priming the pump" so to speak... and giving the wick every chance to absorb liquid. Silica, although heat resistant and durable, is not the best at absorbing liquid, so you have to give it all the help you can.

My coils are 2.5, and my wicks are saturated. I've now narrowed it down to either a Protank head problem, a battery problem, or a problem with the juice. Shouldn't Sunday Morning taste like more extremely watered down maple syrup. Still does after hours of steeping and trying to vape the stuff. It's so flavorless that it's not pleasant. And cranking up the voltage just burns it.

Like, I'd desbribe the flavor as extremely watered down maple with the hint of green tobacco leaves, possibly. It's as though the flavor was made with one fresh green leaf for a whole barrel, very weak. Nothing like cured tobacco. I've never smoked pipe tobacco but have been around real tobacco being hung up and cured in barns my entire life, I'd think vaping tobacco wod give more of that scent/flavor than even real tobacco does. But this juice is quite frankly crap. At least in my Protank.

A lot of us describe that green tobacco flavor as 'grassy' and it can be overwhelming in a NET that needs to steep. Still, from your description and having tasted the juice in question, I would say that either it somehow got mislabeled or you got some from the bottom of the barrel. There's no way that juice should taste of maple, watered down or not.

So without really saying it's like a pipe or cigar tobacco, what would you say the flavor of Sunday Morning is supposed to be like? Is it smokey? or more of what you sense if you were to smell a real twist of cured tobacco? or is more of a bitter burn like a cheap gas station cigar or a green tobacco (never ever liked those). and is the coffee a very bright latte-cappucino vape (possibly along the lines of maple) or is it definately a java-dark coffee taste?

I let the bottle I had steep for 3 weeks. It was an upfront English tobacco flavor with a creamy coffee undertone. Pleasant but I much prefer Vurley and Smooth Criminal. If you want true tobacco flavor stick with NET's from Qnic, W2V, Gej, Ahl and MOV. Or you can go DIY like I did and make your own extracts..

Well, my current NET is from MOV. I'm not so big on getting a black, cigarette type taste at all, but I do want a very warm, brown tobacco taste, something earthlier and more tobacco based than fake tobaccos - but not all that far off. It's why I went with a sweet one, Sunday Morning, from MOV, but it tastes like watery maple syrup. Steeping about 4 days hasn't changed the scent whatsoever (which also watery maple). I can't test it out again until my new heads come in.
