Why does my subohm tank taste burnt?

If your are getting a burnt taste it is normally due to the coil needing to be replaced, or the cotton is not saturated enough. Generally with subohm tank coils they need to be primed first, to allow the cotton to properly saturate. You would normally dab juice on the visible cotton cut outs on the coil before installation, thereafter when filling, leave the device to sit for a few minutes to properly saturate. If the coil is old it could also be a cause. Most factory coils last generally a few days to a week, some longer. Gunk builds up on the coil, from old juice and sweetener, very sweet juice can gunk up a coil very quickly. If you have another change it out, but make sure you prime it first, to see if this could be the cause. Lastly look on the side of the coil, the wattage recommendations should be stated on it. If you're running it too high it will also cause a burnt taste, as you're vapourising juice faster than the cotton can absorb it. Generally coils will have a few variations to suit preferences, based on different ohms. If you're using a high VG blend of juice it could also be too thick to absorb quickly enough.

If you really can't afford a new coil, try soaking that one in either Vodka (cheap is fine) or pure grain alcohol (Everclear as an example, I have seen other names but it will be 198 proof).
