Bought it at a vape store, wich is part of the biggest vape franchise here.I thinkthey are trustworthy.
The brand is Vaportech.

The first thing I noticed in these pic is the wire is super light in color as if they haven't been tested to see if hot legs exist. Before putting in the cotton, do you pulse fire it to see if they exist and the coil itself starts the glow from the most inner part first and then spreads to the outside? If you are not doing this, that is where the machine oil taste comes in.
It's a spaced coil he has in those pics. There shouldn't be any hotspots to work out.
I do that and I also clean the wire before making the coil, that's why I am saying that I have already tried everything and I don't think there is much more that I can do.The first thing I noticed in these pic is the wire is super light in color as if they haven't been tested to see if hot legs exist.

High setups,low setups,dry burning/not dry burning,separate coils,parallel coils,cleaning the tank,lower wattage/higher wattage,working up the coil,and it's not a wicking problem since it smells bad from the start, after priming.
I was about to say that, I recently saw a post here and the OP was claiming that separate coils had some advantages so I have been trying to build these lately.
I am sorry to disagree but your coils do not look like they have been made to pulse and glow orange before wicking. Cleaning coils may not actually get all the machine oils off. Only pulse burning them can.
You bring up a good point...but not necessarily with the coil. I don't pre burn my coils anymore as they're spaced. I've never ran into a bad taste due to my wire.True, but what about machine oils?
But he said he switched to the Ammit tank. I wonder how clean he got that thing. I bought a couple Ammits for the wife awhile back and they needed a couple hours in the ultrasonic cleaner.
I meant my parallel coils, this one I didn't dry burn you are right.I am sorry to disagree but your coils do not look like they have been made to pulse and glow orange before wicking. Cleaning coils may not actually get all the machine oils off. Only pulse burning them can.
I clean them with paper and alcohol water and soap, I use paper until no more black stuff comes out of the wire.
After that I use low wattage and short pulses to see if any smoke comes out of the wire, if it doesn't I go on.
But that's on parallel separate coils, parallel coils I always dry burn a little to make them compact and avoid hotspots.
Really?It might be it then.
I cleaned it with alcohol and water but maybe that wasn't enough.
Any recommendations about cleaning it?
Take it apart as far as you can. If you don't have an ultrasonic cleaner, you might want to boil it a few times. Maybe a few drops of dawn soap in the first boil. Alcohol should've worked, but who knows?
Forgot to mention, a dirty atomizer will make for an unpleasant vape. However, it won't make your tonsils fall out or spit blood. I still think there is a deeper issue going on with you.
I'm sorry you're frustrated. Believe me, it was harder back when I started. I will assure you, however, whatever you may be looking for, it's out there somewhere. Don't give up yet.
That's unfortunate about where we live....well personality I think vaping at 30 or 40 watts, I would like to see a few more wraps , and maybe not so spread out....maybe 6 or 7 wraps like asbestos mentioned. .another issue can be slightly to much cotton in the channels..it looks like you have the correct amount in coil, but maybe a bit to much down the ledge...there are 2 ways you can reduce tail amounts, for one reduce coil diameter to around 2.7 ish , which will automatically reduce tails, or before priming just thread wick into coil and then trim just the tail amounts. Just take a little bit off of bottom, top, and both sides. I would say reduce tails by 15 percent total...also the lenght of tails is important, you want them just touching lower section.. although I have heard of some having issues with machine oils on wires, it's never happened to me, all I have ever done was to heat coil a few times before wicking...besides that it's just trial and error and for a new rebuilder, that can be a pain....it's to bad we didn't live closer, for I know I could of worked out the best build for you.

Damn, then that's probably it.
Probably, I will take care of that but tye doctor will probably blame vaping when I tell him it started when my stick V8 gave me a very harsh throat hit and made me spit blood.
Yes I do know tails are too fat but the reason is that this cotton gets really swollen up when it absorbs the liquid when priming, and this time I guess I let too much cotton on the ledges even when they were varely touching the base before priming, but that's not the problem at all, because I didn't even hit it I just primed and waited a little then started at 10w to see how it smells and to work up the coil a little bit, and was awful I kept dropping some eliquid when necesary but it still smelled bad.So it's not a wicking problem.
Btw I will take opportunity to ask you how does the drip tip of your tank smell, because mine smells really weird and no it's not coming from acumulated wastes or anything like that.Should it smell good, like eliquid smel?
And yeah too bad about the distance but I appreciate your will to help me and all of your advice.
