So I've had my 510 for almost a week, and I've been dealing with the burning taste blaming it on the primer in the atty. Well it's got to be something else. It seems to be only one of the two atty's with the burning problem. There is something actually burning inside the atty, I've done the dry burning until it is totally dry of juice, and something keeps smoking, and it has a horrible burning smell and burns my throat and tastes like smoking a burning piece of plastic. Can someone please help me out?

Are you taking about the white threads underneath the bridge? If so, can I remove them without destroying the atty?
leave the white threads...and idk what opyrus is talking about i had no such thing...
Yeah. My buddy removed the wick and then the entire bridge out of one of his 510 atties yesterday because he only drips. I just talked to him and he said it's been working out good for him. He said it uses more juice but he gets more flavor. Also, he did this after the atty had already been used for about a week. I guess the wick was a little burnt but it still worked out for him.
Well, I'm thinking it may have just been too dry. I followed a link to the Janty cleaning tips for atty's. It said to keep adding drops of juice until the taste went away. 8 drops later (sure enough), and I'm back in business. I am amazed at how fast people responded, so thanks guys.
On a side note, for you that drip, do you just vape until you start tasting the burnt taste, then re-drip or stop? I'm wondering because sometimes I get massive leakage at the battery/atty with only 3 drips, and I want to make sure I vape enough to get the atty dry enough before stopping.
on my setup no bridge drip tip 2 drops an when i get no more flavor not so much no vaper cus it keeps making vapor for a while its all about the flavor. there is not burnt flavor even on a dry addy it has more of a matalic flavor.
for future reference (and to any noobs reading this out of curiosity) If you remove those threads that are under your atty, you have now created a DRIP ONLY atty. You need those threads if you want to continue to use a cart and filler with your PV.
Dripping is great if that's your intention, but if not - don't pull out those threads!
I drip - never removed any of the coil or threads yet. Mine work fine.
If its tasting burnt it might be too dry (and I drip til the flavor runs out, mine dont get burned tasting), the bridge needs to be moist always. A dry atty will burn out the coil.
if it always tastes burnt then removing threads MIGHT be an option but Id make sure I wasn't letting hte bridge get too dry first.

why would his threads be causing this? Ive never heard of the threads being an issue...even with dripping
Well, I pulled the threads since I only plan to drip anyway. Sure enough, more than half of the threads tips were burnt black. After pulling them out, I still noticed the burning smell, and found two more tiny threads still hanging out in there. After getting those last tiny ones out, the smell is gone, and I'm happier than ever. 4 drops into the atty, and my liquid tastes better than ever. I do have another atty that does not have this burning problem, so I'll leave it alone for now.
I also believe I let the atty get too dry, which is probably why the threads started burning, but if removing them all together solves the problem, then I can handle that.
