My battery does the same thing to Blu cartos - I'll suck, it'll taste great for a microsecond, then POP, and things taste awful - I did everything to those as well, priming, blowing, sucking, rolling, hitting, ect ect. I never go above 3.3 on my battery because when I do, it tastes even more like a burnt piece of wool.

One more comment. vaping style can effect how different devices work for each of us. I take long, slow, drags when I vape. Others take short, strong, drags. From purely incidental observation, the short, strong, drag seems to end up with "dry" hits or too much liquid in the vapor with bottom coil devices.
I'm not drawing on these things very hard - it's very easy to vape a Blu, they have excellent suction and don't require a strong hit at all. The Protank is the Protank. You have to suck on it quite a bit; there's no draw suction whatsoever. Which may be the problem. I've noticed that my Protank gets a ton of juice into the head chamber and plate, but somehow the wicks maybe aren't wicking (but I'm positive they are). Should just a bit of suction be needed to draw juice into the wick?
No suction is needed to draw liquid into the wick. The wick is supposed to work by capillary action. Do you have another battery to try? I use Protanks all the time with no problems, heck I even rebuild them with no problem.
I have a battery from fasttech where the center pin is popped up a little and wont push back down because it springs right back up to being a little humped up - it doesn't short though but gives the same awful taste (it could be that my wick is already burned though.) To my amazing surprise, my town just now has opened a vape shop this week! I didn't even know it! So I'm going down there tomorrow... maybe by chance they have a volt checker, and if not, I'll bring all my stuff down there and see if they can help me out. If nothing else, I'll buy whatever they get to work for me. At this point, I don't care if it's some plastic top feeding tank with a little cigalike battery - if they get it to work, that's what I'll buy.
What is the resistance of your coil? If you have something like a 1.8ohm coil it might be heating up too quickly and your wicking can't keep up. If this is the case try a 2.4ohm coil and see if that helps.
In dual coil cartos and rebuilable drippers popping is the sign of a good coil.
I rebuilt my first ARO coil a couple of days ago with a 30AWG micro coil with cotton ball wick and it popped and crackled most of that day before settling down, but it never gave me a dry hit. Now that I think about it your main problem could be your wicking and not the popping.

Now that I think about it your main problem could be your wicking and not the popping.I only use the 2.5's. And with the popping of my coil, the problem I noticed is that the popping creates a fuzzy splintered-ish wick. These fuzzy wick strands that pop up like micro splintering could very well be frying on the coils - it'd be much easier to burn a microscopic strand of silica than a big whole string of it. And even the tiniest amount of burnt silica is probably going to taste plain awful. I wouldn't think my wick should be microsplintering, and it very visibly is. It doesn't look like a big charred wad of charcoal. But after the popping, it just looks iffy.
2.5ohm at 3.3v is under 4.5 watts(ice water)
Likely you are gunking up your wicks
Remove the base
Wiggle the pipe off the coil.
Take a look at the Flavor wicks, wick and Coil
While Vaping, if this starts to happen, you can bump up the power and clear the excess.
Simple coil math - typically a device will work well around 2 volts over coil ohms.
i.e. 2.5ohms would be around 4.5 volts(4.3 my starting point) roughly 7 watts.
This is a fairly common safe figure and near center of the safe vaping range.
As for airy, plug a side hole or 2 on the 510 connection. Are you even using the beauty ring(Tank support) it effects draw somewhat.
