It tastes so bad!

So I just filled my brand new Smoktech Aro (never used one before) with some Fuzion Ectoplasm (never vaped this before) on my brand new Vamo V2 (first mod) .

Even on lower wattage/voltage settings, I'm getting what I guess is a dry hit after a couple of drags. Really gross, almost "rubbery" taste. I let the tank sit filled for a couple of hours before using it, but since I'm new to all of these variables (not the brightest idea, I know), I don't know if this is an issue with the Aro, the Vamo, or the juice itself. Other clearos with juices I know seem fine on the Vamo.

This is the thickest juice I've ever used, so maybe it's a wicking problem? Anybody ever used Ecto with an Aro before? Does it need more time, or if not, is there anything I can do to help mitigate this effect? I chain vape (just like I chain smoked), so this definitely doesn't work for me.

I was really excited about the Aro, but now I'm kind of bummed.

Also, all of my clearos seem to "rock" on the Vamo. At first I thought it was just crooked threads, but they actually can be moved a bit while threaded. CE4s and Evods do it, but the Aro is the worst. Is this normal?

From what I heard, the ARO has good juice flow. Did you take a few primer puff first?

tap the tank with your hand and see if bubbles pop up. I usually tap mine every couple vapes.

Did you clean the tank and rinse the wick before use?

Aro, just like Protanks, can be adjusted of wicking is poor.
Remove base/coil assembly
Pop stem off wick
Remove part of the Flavor wick - the one NOT wrapped in wire.
Try again.

hmmm...I left it alone for a while and played with my old tanks, and the problem seems to have vanished! Maybe I just don't know what the hell I'm doing yet and jumped the gun! That's surely the answer

Thanks for the tips, guys! I've been learning great stuff here every day.

Still concerned about the "rocking" clearos, though =\
