I want to be able to drag a little longer off my EVOD without it getting the burnt taste. Is there really any way to do this? I'm pretty much charging the EVOD and if I'm not charging it I'm hitting it so I get that burnt taste a lot, have to let it sit for a few minutes. I'm guessing I just burn up the juice in the wick? Any help appreciated
Mod necessary?

Concerning having to charge your battery so often, get either a second battery or move up to a pass through battery so that you can continue to use the battery while hooked up to the charger. There are passthrough eGo batteries or you could move up to the iTaste VV3 mod (same ego size). You could also move up to the VV3's bigger brother, the iTaste MVP2 for up to 3 days on a charge and also having the passthrough feature.
The problem with the entry level clearomizer tanks is they were designed primarily to be easy for novices to fill, and be easy to replace the wicks. IMHO, their primitive design does not allow for consistant performance results. Complaints about dry hits, burnt taste, flooding & gurgling, juice in the mouth or on the battery are common.
I recommend advancing up to an Aspire Mini Nautilus clearomizer tank. This uses a new hybrid cartomizer/clearomizer coil head and wick which should eliminate the issues with the above clearomizers.

You can try taking a few drags WITHOUT pressing the button; this can help draw in more liquid through suction.
One of the main draw backs to Evod type tanks is the lack of wicking capacity ( the ability to replace the juice into the coil area quickly) by taking long draws you are depleting the juice in the coil area and not allowing enuf juice to be wicked into the coil as you are vaporizing it. An atty with better wicking ( RDA/RTA) can allow you longer draws without drying out the wick and hitting the burned taste.
Another thing you might try is removing one of the "flavor wicks" from the head. This will allow juice to flow in faster (but it can also cause the head to gurgle)
Here's one video:

(Can't believe it takes someone 6 minutes to describe the process, though!)
Or just google "removing flavor wick"

Thanks for the answers. I burned up my wick yesterday (Oops) so I haven't tried any of these solutions so far. Definitely would be nice to get a little beefier setup soon but for now I'll try some things to see if I can make it work!
What causes this burnt taste and is there a way to get around this?
Could this be from the atomizer? The base of either pg or vg?

A dry wick from inadequate wicking of the juice can cause a burnt taste. Try priming the wick by gently sucking without power being applied.
As a coil is used, the sugars in the e-liquid carmalize and coat the coil with a coating of burnt sugar. Firing the coil with this "crud" on the coil will result in a burnt taste. Some people drain the tank and "dry burn" this crud off of the coil, but its stressful on the wire to do this routinely. An easier solution is to just replace the coil head.
If u want longer drags then a mod is the wrong way to go, if its unregulated (like most mechs) it can become explosive if the circuit is completed longer than 10 seconds. With the evod sometimes u just hafto pull some juice into the wick and the biggest issue I've seen is when people don't let the wick prime when they change the coil head, the tank needs to sit full and unused for at least 10 minutes or you'll burn the wick right away and constantly get burnt hits
It isn't wicking fast enough for your use. Get a second one and alternate between drags...
I always have 3 mods in front of me cause I'm a chain vaper
Gives #1 a chance to replenish liquid whilt I vape on #2 and #3

As Batitude mentioned; switching up to a better quality tank will help. And all the other advice you've gotten so far such as priming the wick, etc. will become habit over time. But they're habits that are more cost effective to learn early on.
I used Evod tanks for about 6 months. They were quite a step up from the ce4/5 tanks I was using prior to that. So, burnt hits and gurgling was of minimal annoyance to me at first. After a while though, the cost of replacement coils was killing me. So, I finally invested in a better tank. You still have to practice good vaping habits such as priming, but the better tanks like the Nautilus, Protank, Aerotank, etc. will be more forgiving due to there advanced design.

Unn, that's just so much utter nonsense. Really, explosive if fired for over 10 seconds??? umm, well sure, if one like over demands the amps capable supplied from the power source by seriously building seriously to low, then yeah can cause batt to vent, and if one choose a mod with no vent capabilities, the vent pressure can build up and blow like a pipe bomb, or choose the wrong batt, that could be a major frak up
But no, if done safetly within design parameters can power lock a 0.16 build with a full tank and let it vape until the batt dies from being over spent. Will have a very hot mod, 2nd degree buns kind of hot, and if the tank ran out of juice, likely all your insulators, O-rings and such, have all melted too, and one has a dead rba and a dead batt, but no, not an explosion. But the room will smell nice, cloudy, but niceThis is what I was writing before seeing the quoted post, and just had to respond. Vape, when done with knowledge, skill and within safe parameters is safe. mainly.
Hmm, removing flavor wicks is never a good idea. to little wicking causes flooding. Best advice on any changeable is to allow sufficient wick saturation before the first vape. Failure to do so, well, quite often ruins the coil head and time for a new head change already.
Until one truly understands the finer aspects of wicking and building, messing with something that should work if used correctly, is not advisable, and often leads to more frustration. Understanding how things vape is the best path to improving ones vape. Also the quality of premade coils and gear has improved vastly in the last year, so should be much more trouble free.
dry hits is a wicking issue, can't suppy enough juice to supply the power demanded, turn down the power, till it's good, or learn to wick and build so it can be better, if not getting a satisfactory vape. Vape is only as good as the gear, build and knowledge of the vaper doing the vaping. Generally speaking, that is.
Vape long and prosper.!!!!
get a nautilus mini and your world will change forever , hint for other tanks dont go below 60 vg as it will clog
Seems I have read alot of positive feedback on the MVP2 here. I use a Silver Bullet.
