I received a new svd today, the one I purchased (still waiting on returned one). I opened 2 new ego mega cartos, filled with 3.5 ml of liquid and let them sit for 15 min. Same nasty taste, so bad the ol lady said the whole room smells burnt. I spoke to vapingzone on the phone, we couldn't figure it out. I am at a loss here, changed all of the variables. Even at 3.0 volts and 5 watts, they taste horrible. I have 1 more still in the wrapper, maybe I can send it back and they can open it up and inspect it. With my luck it will be the only good one in the 5 pack and I will look like an idiot.
 
** I know this is an old thread, just wanted to contribute because I had the same issue and concluded it by using what I described below. Hope it helps anyone that recently purchased any mod and experienced this very issue as well.


Just wanted to say that I had the same issue with my SVD and found it was the liquid I was using. Some juice will taste horrible in it at any wattage. I am using a pro tank 3 and spent days looking up problems with the SVD, and then with the Protank, and in the end found out on my own it was just the liquid itself. It seems with higher PG levels it will taste more burnt at higher voltage and wattage so this is another thing to look out for. Each mode is independent and has no bearing on one another, vv is for fine tuning the wattage through volts and can destroy atomizers if changing Ohms often, whereas VW is for setting the device to a desired wattage and getting that wattage for every ohms rating you choose (8 watts is 8 watts for 1.8ohms or for 3.5 ohm no matter what). The best method I used for finding my threshold was *for volgate add 2 + whatever your atomizer's ohms rating is. So for example I am using a 2 ohm Protank 3, the idea would be to add 2+2.0ohms= 4.0 volts, and to see how many watts this is you just square root the volts and divide it to your ohms *example* 4.0 volts squared equals =16 and divide that by your atomizers ohms which once again mine was 2.0 ohms would make it 8 watts. This is now what my safe wattage is, 8 watts, anything more can overload the head and prematurely burn it out, anything less is probably going to be too weak to really harness the flavour. If your tasting burnt at super low settings, chances are its your atomizer, one head on my Protank was faulty and had this issue. However the my liquid was also contributing to the burnt taste. So the equations above are just to help to find a safe zone for your setup, other than that its just a process of elimination.
