so I'm new to the vaping world and I got my kanger subox mini in the mail yesterday and everything worked perfectly up until tonight when I started getting a burnt taste. I was using the .5 occ and for some reason I can not get the burnt taste to go away. I switched to the rba and the taste went away but came back very quickly so I cranked my wattage down to 18 with the same problem, and I went even lower when I switched to the 1.5 still with the same burnt taste. I soaked all my stuff and everything. I used a 50/50 blend as well as an 80/20 vg/pg blend at the beginning, both tasting great but now both taste burnt. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, help!!!!

What watts did you start at? Vertical coils or 'old' OCC?
Once you've burnt it, that's the end.
If you switched from one coil to another, maybe you went off too quick with the new one.

yeah burnt is forever.
I had a problem with those coils, in that they would not wick fast enough. So bring the chain copper I am, got a little scorched. Take a primer puff after every hit or 2 to keep the wick moist, this could be the issue.
and too high power will also tend to cause scorching, so I'll second the question of where did you have it set?

Sounds like you are exceeding the wick's ability. Lower watts or take a primer puff. Try wicking your RBA base with rayon instead of cotton. And once burnt, the wick is done. It needs to be replaced.
Did you prime the coils with a bit of ejuice before installing them? If not they WILL burn and you cannot get the burned taste to go away. Also their is a little card in the kit that tells you the maximum wattage for each col depending on your PG/VG ratio.
Also if using the rebuildable section make sure that the cotton isn't extremely tight inside the coil, if it is then there's a high chance it's going to pinch it off and juice won't be able to flow as freely as it needs to for consecutive puffs. Good rule of thumb that I go by is have it just tight enough that its not wiggling around in there but not so tight that it's difficult to pull back and forth.
