So my attys are only about...1 week old...have been blown out...distilled water ran through...blown out...dried...primered with PG really good...then vaped PG/VG for a bit...then a tank of flavor...is it just the PG or VP im tasting...almost makes me want to think its VG...since it stays around...kinda moist..might casue some people to think it tastes like...damp..? Seem to be making better throat hit now...more vapor...? Am I just crazy? But this actually started after I vaped some marshmellow and tutti I didnt like... now all my attys and flavors give me this taste?

It sounds like a flavor went bad to me. Probably the tutti fruity. Some fruit flavors decompose over time and will taste like what you are describing.

I would wash the attys thoroughly. I use a hot solution of polydent 12-hour tablet and water, and soak the atty for 12 hous, then flush with gratuitous hot water to get rid of the mint and surfacants. I do this by actually sucking hot water in the atty, like with a straw, and blowing it gently out, over and over. Gets rid of everything bad tasting, including caked on decomp products, and as long as you are gentle is very safe on the atty.

Get some other flavors too. I think what you have might be bad. Of course if the coil is not getting juice, for whatever reason, it will taste harsh and nasty, but this does not sound like the taste you are experiencing.

Try soaking the filler in PGA - either everclear if available or 151 proof vodka - cheap stuff uncolored, unflavored - like Galen's $12/fith. That disinfects and dries quicker than water - leaving no taste. After a while - but not just a week - but when the PGA soak doesn't fully restore the whiteness, replace the filler entirely.
