Strange burnt taste

[fyrefiend]

I've got one that has me puzzled. I went through two fills of my Aerotank V2 with Cosmic Fog's Milk and Honey when it started to taste burnt. I figured no big deal, let me change the coil and clean the tank and all will be well. Well, new coil and cleaned tank and about 4 drags in it tastes burnt again. Thinking maybe I have a bum coil I try another one. Same deal.
I'm at a loss. It's the same bottle of liquid, same tank (cleaned each time), same battery (iStick 50w), same wattage (8.9), same resistance (1.2 ohm). Anyone have any clue what's could be causing this? It's getting expensive in coils and liquid!

Thanks

First thing that comes to mind is a "bad batch" of replacement coils. It happens.

I thought that too but I'm using another from the same pack in another tank and it's fine. I'm at a loss.

TURN IT DOWN *lol*


that's my "pat" answer for "it tastes burnt"

I use V2's and with some juices 3.0 or it's burnt tasting...I use one with honey & green apples, Scouts Honor you have it on anything more than 7 to 9 watts with my iStick 20 or 30, with 1.2. or 1.5 coils it doesn't matter..it's YUCK.

That's my normal answer too but I'm confused as to why two tanks of it were fine at that wattage but now it's tasting burnt.

is it a different batch of e liquid?
or from the same jar?

I've had differences in finding that sweet spot or burnt tasting with the same liquid when I'd buy another bottle of it.

Same bottle.

You sure the airflow's open properly? I've burnt Aerotank coils because the ring got flipped to near-closed. That said, it's kind of a tough thing to not notice (you'll feel the tighter draw).

That's kind of my only suggestion.

Are you "priming" your coils before you start to vape on them? Prime, meaning to drop a few drops of juice on the inside of the coil to moisten the cotton. That could be what's happening. Your cotton isn't moist enough when you start vaping, therefore your burning it. Or it could be that if you are chain vaping, your not waiting long enough so the liquid can refill into the chamber and moisten your cotton adequately enough before taking your next hit. Those are 2 things that come to mind first.
With those pre-built disposable coils, you have to be very careful while chain vaping or you run the risk of burning them.

Not too familiar with the Aerotank first hand, but what about your insulators, do they look good?

Sorry for the lack of replies but I've ready each of your replies and thank you all for the ideas.
I had just set this juice aside for a few days and just vaped other flavors and tonight figured I'd try it in another clearo (nautilus mini) and it still tastes burnt no matter what wattage (even starting down around 6) so I'm guessing something went wrong with the bottle. Maybe I didn't shake it as well as I thought when I first got it? I don't know but at least I know I'm not crazy (well, at least not because of this...).

Darn it it sounds like its the juice if all else works. Maybe you could contact the vendor they might replace you juice its worth a try.
