So being relatively new to this, I know I have run my attys dry a few times. So yes, they taste like crap and I know it is my fault. I removed their bridges and wicks for dripping, but they still taste burnt. Is there a way to get rid of this or are they trashed? They still light up great and produce great vapor, just crappy taste. I did remove the bridge and wick from a new one and it tastes great, so it ust be something burnt onto the coil. Any tips?

I just keep adding a drop or two until the taste goes away. I get the taste any time my atty gets dry. I use attys with and without the bridge, and it's the same on all of them. It sucks, especially when you aren't expecting it.:blink: I've learned the signs of when it's about to happen, so I don't get the burnt taste very often. I do flood my attys more often just so I know I'm not getting close to going dry. I posted this very same problem last week, and I've pretty much decided that you just need to add more liquid until it stops tasting bad.

Also an atty with a bridge can hold 8 to 10 drops of liquid if it's bone dry. I was amazed at how much liquid it took to get the atty tasting good. This was after cleaning and dry burning until there was absolutely nothing left in the atty.
OMG I know! I always do a good dry burn on new atomizers after I blow out the primer and then start priming with my own liquid before vaping and I added 12 today without it leaking it blew my mind

This actually happened to me too and I am also new here. Someone suggested that I soak the atty in warm water for a few minutes and give it a good rinse. Then blow all of the excess water out of it and let it dry on a paper towel over night. In the morning, prime it with a few drops of ejuice. It worked pretty well for me.

On second thought, after having removed the bridge, I see the coil inside is solid black. Looks like it's covered in burned sugar. Could it be that I'm holding the button too long?

This is what mine look like, and these are the ones with the burnt taste. My other new/clean ones have no bad taste at all.
