I decided to clean my mini nova, I then dry burned it which I have done before without any problems, I put some nice new juice in and tasted awful......burned taste, so had to throw the head away and the juice away and start again. I then put an already clean head on it and filled again, vaped for about ten mins and that went.. no vape no taste nowt, nothing, threw that one and have now put a new one on and am back in business, sounds like it wouldnt take long but its taken me all bloomin night. I hope I have no more problems like that again for a while hahaha Did I do something wrong with the dry burning for it to taste burnt like that? I thought I was supposed to do it till the smoke stopped and I could see the red coil.

Mary if you did it til you could see the coil glowing red you did it right. I think coils/heads just choose their time to die, and it's usually at the worst possible moment

This can happen with vivi heads when dry burning, there is some material around the wires to stop them touching the inside of the metal tube, sometimes this can get burnt. After having the same problem I now dry burn in shorter bursts and as soon as it glows red I stop.
