I had that problem with my Npro for the first couple of weeks. I took the mouthpiece off and blew through the led end. You can see the atomizer start to glow, and the smelly stuff seemed to burn off. It seemed to clear up quicker. It hasn't happened in awhile. 7 weeks on the original, fingers crossed.

I have decided sacrifice my Atty, in the name of research.
Hypothesis: An unknown substance or the heating element in the Atomizer is producing smoke. The smoke will go away if allowed to burn long enough.

Method:
Step 1 - Atomizer was placed in boiling water for 15 Minutes, then allowed to reach room temperature while still in pot of water. Once room temperature atomizer was removed
Step 2 - Atomizer was was blown dry using various methods. Blown out with mouth for one minute. Dried with Hair Dryer for five minutes. Then left over night to further air dry. (approximately 10 hours)
Step 3 - Atomizer was put on manual battery and NO cartridge was attached. No liquid was put on atomizer
Step 4 - Atomizer was activated for a period of 3 seconds in intervals of five minutes.


Observations: Immediately after pressing button atomizer make a sizzling noise and produces a thick heavy white smoke. A scent of ash, similar to soot from a fire was detected. After one and a half battery charges, smoke production has decreased and element is glowing red hot.

Conclusions: None so far. Will continue activating until either Atomizer dies or smoke stops.

Conclusion: Atomizer died after 3.5 batteries. It put up a good fight. Smoke did not completely go away well for any period that would not kill the atomizer, therefore it was the taste/smell of the atomizer element itself which was producing the bad taste.

Will order atomizers from a few different supplier to see if I experience the same.
