vapour production is poor (connector is dry and clean, battery is charged)
turn up the voltage/wattage or use a lower resistance head
vapour production is awesome, however taste isn't good (no throat hit but my throat is irritated, puffs are not tasty - they sucks)
Turn down the voltage/wattage or use a higher resistance head
The "burnt" taste is from burning the liquid. After it's been used too hot, the burnt taste may not go away and the head may need replaced or "burnt off"
Do you have a VV(variable voltage) battery?

Yes I do.
This coil is actually new - it was not refilled anymore yet. Sometimes it does not help - taste becomes burnt. In such case I play with silicon head, however some coils inside looks messy. I've got such one and I do not what to do. I haven't wick or wire yet...
But what to do when clearomizer is actually cold? I use it about week and with every morning this taste even more sucks. I purchased another one, used Vivi Nova, so I suppose that coil could be used and cleaned earlier already.

They need to be washed and/ or dry burned- part of the maintenance prog. Although vid is about Vision Vivi Nova the procedure is relatively the same. Washing cleans the wicks and tank and dry burning turns the juice gunk on the coil into ash- rinse afterwards with water.
Occasionally you may need to twirl/ tilt the Vivi to keep the wicks saturated.
If the head (wick+ coil) is really gunked up you may have to soak it in alcohol/ vodka.
The vivi nova have some design flaws that are easy to over come. You likely have wicks that are long, extending to the bottom of the clearo, this is fine if you bend your hear over, looking at the ground to vape (don't do it while driving...
) Shorten the wicks so that they extend just a bit longer than the tank is wide, when you tip your PV up to take a vape, they will have enough juice.
Also take a pin and unravel, fluff up the wicks. The juice can get to the coil easier if the wick is not a solid mass, if you can pull the wick so some of the unraveled section in in the coil, even better. And when you refill them, pull up the little silicone tube a short way and let the top cover position it when you screw the top on, it will keep the wick from being pinched off.
As you are using VV, keep the voltage low, just enough to give yourself a nice thick vapor. Top coils seem to like lower wattage than bottom coils, or RBA's yet still have a nice warm vape.
I would recommend getting some wick and wire, my best heads and my home built. It's quick and easy to do, I can do it with eyesight bad enough to barely see the wire and hands that have a bit of a shake....
With a slight bit of fiddling, I've been using three vivi's for over a year, no leaks, great flavor and vapor, simple to fill, clean, and very cheap to maintain...

It's buildup on the coil. "burning off" will help a lot.
I'm not familiar with The stv but here's how to do it with the nova mini. Should be similar
-remove it from the battery, take the top off and rinse it out
-remove the tank and silicon piece
-rinse the coil inside the tube off
-blot the wicks semi-dry(gently)
-put it on the battery (without the tank or silicon cap)
-turn down the voltage and fire the battery until the smoke stops coming off the coil. You'll have to do it in bursts to keep the battery from shutting off. It will glow red
-remove it from the battery and let it cool
-rinse the coil again and blot the wicks
-reassemble
-the first few draws will be really weak until the water dries
It only takes a couple minutes once you've done it once. I do mine every week or two. Been using the same head for several months.
If the wick is really dark at the coils after doing this, the head might need replaced because a clogged wick doesn't wick well. Soaking it in everclear will help some, but it's a lot of trouble.

This is a condition created by the "long wick" craze, with a short wick the wick is easily saturated.
A 510 atty, or 306 atty has extremely short wicks, yet just dripping a bit of juice on them is sufficient to vape.
Simply tipping up your PV is enough to "wet your wicks"...
