Hi Chris. Sorry I can't really help you with your coil problem (I use a protank on an eGo twist set at 3.8v and haven't had a problem like yours), but I'll bump this thread up so more people will see it and help you.
Have you been thoroughly cleaning your heads before you used them?
Always clean new clearos/heads thoroughly before you use them. A simple hot water rinse, vodka soak, hot water rinse will usually do the trick.
Every head is slightly different.
Its entirely possible the head could have mis-configured/too many flavor wicks. Are you familiar with how to open up the head so you can adjust/remove (1 of the usual 2) flavor wicks that sit on top of the coil/main wick?
At 8:50 in this video (PT1 uses sames heads as PT2) he shows how to open up the head and adjust/remove flavor wicks.

*EDIT* While youre at it, might as well open up the old head you have, remove the flavor wicks and see if you can dry burn (pulse it while dry) it clean again even with the old flavor wicks put back in, it still should regain some of its performance.

Also just to add,
Did you clean your tank out after burning that coil ?
You may have burned residue lying about in there.

xtwosm0kesx rinsed it with water and bam taste is gone you are awesome thanks so much Just saved me a ton of coils!
a) Always start on a low power setting. If non-adjustable, make sure you are using 2.2ohm or higher coils. Some fully charged batteries will kick out 9+watts on a 1.8ohm coil.
b) Popping is an indication you are not getting enough liquid to the coil.
What is your e-liquid PG/VG blend?
May need to remove 1 flavor wick to get proper wicking.
c) only but Kanger replacement coils until you know how ti fiddle and tweak to get them working properly.
Short story: 2 nights ago I put a brand new 2.4ohm coil in my T3-mini(Kanger is Kanger so learn) After filling and priming I took a drag and was met by a horrific burnt taste.
Flipped the T3-mini over, pulled the coil and did a quick rinse ot get the sticky off.
Popped the Tube over the coil off and SURPRISE......Clean, White, completely Dry wicks and Coil!
What I had inhaled was Super heated Air.
That head had 2 issues
1) wicks were pinching - not allowing e-liquid to pass
2) Coil was jammed to one side and partially shorted when firing. 3 of the 6 wraps were pinched to the base tube.
a)Adjusted the coil wraps to center and spaced properly
b)adjusted the flavor wicks to sit side by side.
Second Day vaping without any further issues.
