What am I doing wrong on my AGA-T2 to get a burned taste?

[Fawzy]

Hi all. Please I need help. I got my first AGA-T few days ago and yesterday I built my fist coil/SS Mesh ever. I oxidized the mesh and primed it and the coil. I got a reading of 2.0 ohm. So far so good. I put it on my Vamo v5 and started to vape. I found it to be a little to soft with minimal throat hit tho the flavor was great and spot on, so I figured it is a 2.0 ohm so what the heck, I pumped up the wattage to 9 watts and the voltage to 4.5 and had the worst burning taste ever this time. I downed the wattage and voltage again but that horrible taste still there. I tried the atty on my other 1300 mah ego spinner to found that the burning taste still there but it was a little bit less than on my vamo. So what am I doing wrong here? and did I burnt all of this juice? Thanks and please any kind of help

Sometimes you'll have a "hotspot" in your coil/mesh relationship which won't become apparent until you up the power. That may be what happened here. The off taste that lingers is probably in the wick (yeah burned juice, so to speak). It may mildly affect the juice in the tank. If you want to try to salvage your supplies: drain off the tank juice and set it aside. Rinse the wick with water (you can do it in place, just blow all excess water out of the tank). Dry burn until you heat off the residual water in the wick.

Now, when you're setting up your wick and coil (dry), always start low; but eventually pump your voltage up to where you're going to be vaping it. You need it to be hotspot free at the max. possible voltage you're going to apply.

BTW: I think, once you trigger a hotspot at higher voltage, it may still present itself at lower voltages as well. Basically, tho, the more current you're trying to run through a circuit, the better a slightly more cumbersome shortcut (short) is going to look to some of that current. Once the path is made . . . . it may or may not be of any higher resistance than the desired one. (pro'ly not)
