Alright so my friends and I have a problem where sometimes (frequent enough to find a solution) my vape will give a larger hit than normal. It sounds different than my "regular" hits and if you look at the resistance, it has gone up (mine from ~.3 to ~.5). It also tastes burnt even though it has happened the first hit after juicing. Even after rebuilding it happens and my friends and I all have different RDAs and box mods. Anyone had this problem/found a solution? My only thought has to be involving the cotton in some way.
RDA Vape giving burnt hit even immediately after juicing

Well, being an RDA, there is not much. Is the wick saturated, even in the coil? Is the airflow open? If you "draw" to fast, the wick may not be able to get to the coil fast enough. What watts are you at? Start out low and step up until you get a slight burn taste, then back down. That is if you want to go high in watts to begin with. Remember, high VG content does not flow through the wick as fast.
Consider the juice flowing, the air coming in, and the amount of watts.

Airflow is all the way open, it's definitely saturated, only 40 W. Going anything below that just barely produces cloud and I can't imagine that that's what the problem is stemming from.
I did not mention the coil, but kinda one thing at a time is not bad either. Keep it simple if you are just starting.
I think this juice is 70/30 but it's happened on different ratios. Dark Horse RDA on a sigelei TC.
I don't/haven't had a DH RDA so I don't really know about the 40 watt effect. But the concept of sufficient juice going through wick and getting to coil, air cooling and proper drawing works across the board.
But, once you burn the juice/wick, you can't un-burn it. Clean it out and re-wick.
Good luck!

Make sure the post screws in your atty are tight, the atty doesn't have an internal short, and the 510 on your mod is clean. The changing resistance is causing the voltage to spike, resulting in the toasty hits. The resistance is changing because you either have a short or less than solid connections.
I just checked my posts and the screws were a little loose, do you think this could be part of the problem or unrelated? It seems to be firing differently and the resistance shot down to .19
Just curious, if the loose connection causes the resistance to increase isn't that going to cause the current to decrease? Or in this case is the current the constant and voltage is the variable?
what you're describing is a hot spot, short (coil touching anything but the post it's screwed in to) or one of your coil's isn't making good contact (this will run the full the voltage through the other coil(s)).
Sounds like you have a bad or loose connection from your coils to your posts. If the resistance increases from 0.3 ohms to 0.5 ohms, then the mod is going to fire at a much higher voltage, which can cause what you are describing. Clean all of the connection points on your RDA (the post screws, the posts themselves, the 510 connection, take everything apart and clean every piece), and make sure all your connections are tight. Before clipping off the extra wire after tightening the posts, if you pull on the extra wire, your coils should not move. Also be sure to regularly tighten your post screws, as they can sometimes loosen themselves up from heating up and cooling down.
Yeah I figured out the posts were loose and fixed the problem and haven't had anything come up since yesterday, appreciate all the help guys!
