I soaked my HH357 in PGA overnight, rinsed with PGA, then soaked it in 50/50 PG/VG overnight again and took it out, rinsed it with PGA blew it out, but now it tastes funky. WAY worse than when i put it in to clean. any suggestions?

also, how do i clean the gunk off the coils if im not supposed to dry burn it?

I usually soak it in vodka for an hour, then do a final rinse with vodka, put pg (~8 drops) in till it crackles/gurgles on a light pull, then it's ready to vape.

Chimney, the higher the ohm the hotter the vape so if you choose 3ohm hybrid make sure it's a long barrel. hybrid just customizes the exterior color and the mesh portion inside to accomidate thicker vg, or thinner pg.. whereas the default is 50/50. I'd select all VG even if you plan to use pg stuff. Deep down it doesn't make all that much difference. Custom also accomidates additional requests, for example when I ordered mine I wrote in the comment box that I planned on using this atty on a bottom juice feeding box mod.. so when I looked at it closely I noticed they widened the airholes by the thread. That sorta thing.

For you, I'd recommend a 2.0 ohm hybrid if you're gonna get one, because in time (remember, these things can last upwards of a year) the older it gets the more the resistence will increase, albeit slightly. Now, realistically, it's been MY experience these things don't last any longer than a cheap bridgeless from empiremods (2-3 weeks) but keep in mind I'm using a juice thats famous for gunking up coils so to be fair, I'm not knocking cisco.

Also noticed the hybrid stuff holds an extra drop or two of juice.

Chimney, the higher the ohm the hotter the vape so...

This is incorrect. Heat=Power=V*V/R or in English, heat is power and power, in Watts, is equal to voltage squared divided by resistance in Ohms. For a fixed voltage decreased resistance causes an Increase in heat while increasing the resistance Decreases the heat.

Power formula: P=IV (Power is the product of voltage and current in Amps, sometimes called power law)
V=IR or I=V/R (Current, in Amps, is equal to voltage divided by resistance in Ohms, sometimes called Ohms law)
Substitute the "I" in power law with the "V/R" and you can see where the formula P=V*V/R comes from.
So 4 volts with a 2 Ohm coil is 4*4/2=16/2=8 Watts
And 4 volts with a 3 Ohm coil is 4*4/3=16/3=5.3 Watts

Now with a variable voltage device with an absolute current limit will be able to output more power with a higher Ohm coil, but few devices have an absolute limit and instead use a variable limit that varies with output voltage so it gets rather weird...
