It's basically a kangerT3 clone. What PG/VG ratio are you using? I would take it apart and clean/dry burn (burnt taste may be caused by gunk buildup on the coil). If that doesn't help, then most likely there's too much wicking material blocking of eliquid to the coil (happens more often with high VG% eliquids). If that's the case, you might want to consider taking out one of the wicks sitting on top of the coil.

Here's a video by Phil on Protank on how to remove it (starts ~9.00)

Hope this help, good luck.

I get the burnt taste even with a new coil tried 3 new ones all the same resistance 1.8. juice is 50/50 i did notice when i take of the small gasket it gets rid of the burnt taste. now the problem is that i get juice on my battery(not much) and have to keep an eye on it and dry it off every hour or so. I will take a look at he video and try it thanks for the info

I have two of those and never had a problem. Do you have a higher Ohmed coil? I like the 2.2Ω the best.

Sometimes taking a couple of primer puffs (without activating the battery) helps the juice get to the coil, as demonstrated in the video (the voideo is about the eVod, but it's the same principle). Burned taste almost always indicates a dry coil.

Yep, sounds like too much wicking material which is chocking the flow of eliquid. Easy fix is either flipping the silicon gasket or removing a wick. Also, keep in mind all BCCs tend to gurgle and flood when the eliquid is low (when it drop to under ~0.5mL for me), so remember to refill them when they're low.
