What power level did you try?
Did you actually prime the head by dripping drops on top of the wicking material until fully saturated, or ?

 

[TNTemple]

Yeah dropped about 3 drops onto the wick, been vaping with a different smok coil then got this one today, was using it on 40-50W and it tastes burnt

 

[Topwater Elvis]

I doubt 3 drops is anywhere near enough to prevent burning / scorching the wicking material.
It needs to be fully saturated.
I use 5 - 10 drops priming something as small as a nautilus head.

40 - 50w is high on a new head, always best to start off low & gradually work your way up. This allows the head to ' break in ' and let's the user ensure it is wicking properly to prevent burning before turning up the power.

Okay Ill remember that for next time, is this coil ruined then or can I redo the steps to make sure it's properly ready

If the wicking material is burnt the only way to fix it is to replace the wicking material or replace the head.

if its more of a burnt rubber than a burnt cotton taste:
its possible to get a hot leg burning the washer between the positive pin and the body, if you take the coil out take out the positive pin and check, in the multi wire coils crossed wires ... can also be an issue

Terribly little information there.

Did you try hitting it with 200w?
Did you let is soak?

It is a Temperature control capable head - What were your Settings?

Rule 1 - Start Low and work up

Burnt = trashed

Replace and try again

TFV4 heads need a lot of liquid to saturate. Almost a mil on most. Soak well, fill tank and let sit for 15-30 minutes

the TFV4 has extremely HUGE stock coils, you really have to soak them in before you attempt vaping.

I soaked it more and it's a lot better now, I was vaping on 40-50W and temperature control was on 400F
