Hello i just bought the EHpro Squape R clone and it's grate, no leaks, seems easy to rebuild. But i get this metalic taste that i can't get rid of. I use a torch to burn the kantal before making the coil, still get metalic taste, then i thought if it could be some kind of industrial residue, so i just damp all the metal pieces into vodka... so i could clean them up. Any thoughts?

I always soak new tanks and RDAs in warm soapy water then rinse the crap out of those mothers and repeat. Sounds like you probably have machine oil left over in your tank. It happens a lot, and it tastes bad. It will go away on its own, but I don't think its something you'd want to inhale.

I just took all the o-rings out and throw all the metal parts into vodka. I don't like the idea of using soap unless is oil free soap.
Rubber is resistant to most surfactants like soap, prolonged exposure to alcohol, either isopropyl or ethanol, can cause the rubber to lose it elasticity and typically become brittle.
