Your juice probably ran a bit too low and burnt the atty, refill it and give it a while and the burnt taste should go, if it doesn't you may need a new atty, sometimes they save themselves, always keep them wet mate, good luck

Cant add anymore to this but the taste is enough to make you gag - anybody who has experienced it will attest to this.

Did you blow through the atty before you put juice on it?

Atties usually come with a "primer" fluid on them (to keep them wet and all that good stuff) ... and it tastes AWFUL!!!

Blow it out, heck maybe rinse it with HOT water if it's that bad.. And try again.

First time it happened to me I went back to carto tanks for 3 days. Scared that Id get the same taste again.

I had this happen a lot with my 510 tank, it always happened if I let the tank run empty, if your using a cartridge with filler material just make sure the cartridge/tank doesn't run dry, I second what adeline says wash it all under hot water and blow out, refill your cart and start again, if a 510 coil runs dry it is pretty grim, if its still bad after another try bin it, hope this helps

I didn't realize anyone was still using cartridges with atomizers anymore. They do have a particular orientation they need to be inserted, with the opening of the cartridge lining up with the cup of the atty. That burning plastic taste may actually be burning plastic; a quick look at your cartridge should tell you that. Also, too much menthol in a juice tastes like burning plastic to my palate.
