I am finding that my tanks are leaving wicks with a burnt taste long before the coil is bad. Where can I get a variety of wick material to try out, and what suggestions would you have for types of material to try?

What type of atomizer are you trying to rebuild?
For a Genesis, you could go with SS Mesh, Cotton, Ekowool, SS Rope, Ceramic.
For a bottom fed, Cotton or Ekowool, perhaps Ceramic XC-116.
As a general rule, wick material is fairly cheap on amazon and e-bay. I generally buy ekowool from lightning vapes on amazon.
If you want to try the XC-116 (It's really expensive, comparatively), you can buy a foot of it here: XC-116 Ceramic Wick - 12" Heat Cleaned
If you want to rebuild with cotton, check out some organic, unbleached cotton from your local CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, insert chain store here.
I think I bought my SS Mesh from e-bay, but it may have been amazon.

I'm using a bottom fed tank, kanger protank. I also have issues with leakage on the tanks when they get low or too hot
The most success I've had building protanks was with ekowool. There are a ton of differing opinions on protank rebuilds, though, so a little experimentation to find what works for your build style is usually in order. Some people swear by microcoils and cotton, but I've never successfully built one that didn't leak like a faucet. As a general rule, my successful builds were 2mm ekowool around a standard, non-micro coil. Then after seating it in the base, I'd use some small lengths of cotton as flavor wicks. I tried using a second piece of 2mm ekowool, but it just gets a little too crowded in the cup to fit all that and really screws up the air flow. I'd suggest a nice, long youtube session of watching various protank builds and seeing which you might like to try. There are just too many variations to protank builds to possibly cover in this reply!
