will hot legs on coil give a bad taste to vape?

[paulw2014]

I built a coil on my RM2 today and it had a slight hot leg but I thought it shouldn't affect things. But when I vape, my vape has a sort of "salty" taste. It definitely doesn't taste optimum.

I wonder if I should rebuild the coil, or could it be the juice? I use the REO and I always just top off the juice when it gets low, so could it be because the juice is "old"?

thx

Yes, a hot leg could lead to an acrid hot metal taste, or overcook the juice in one spot while just heating it in another. Try tweaking the coil until you get it heating evenly from the center out.
