Yep, deffo sounds like a dodgy coil, frazzled your wick If it was me and they are brand new i would soak them all in warm soapy water for 2hrs and then rinse then leave to dry then use, i never use anything straight out the box straight away, they always have a icky taste. Another tip before using take the top part off and plug the base onto your spinner and give about 3-4 dry burns to get rid of any residue from the wick/coil. So Romelee do you first soak all your replacements, then dry burn? I will do this to my spares tomorrow then.

Yep siffy i soak them all to get rid of any manufacturing residue and do a few dry burns (pulses) until the coil turns red and then let cool down for 5 seconds and dry burn again etc etc until there is no smell /smoke coming off the coil/wick.

I ultrasonic all my new gear in warm water (okay not batteries) and let them air dry after a shake out. I don't usually do the dry burn even and things taste just fine. The FT evod took about half a tank to get going really well but it was muted flavour rather than bad which is how I find most silica wick things to be until the coil beds in.

Thanks, I will do this myself. I did notice a taste when I changed my atty, gone now, but I did notice it.
