I have tried many flavored and over 5 different builds. This is my first rda I have a kayfun and that works great. Everything I try on it just tastes like poo. I washed it before using. I use cotton as a wick. I don't know what to try next. Any ideas anyone? thanks for helping out

Had that exact problem on a stillare(edit: clone). Soaked for a couple of hours in alcohol (actually cheap whiskey) rinse build. Bad taste all gone

I normally soak new my new attys overnight with hot soapy water. Quick scrub with a toothbrush and never had any funky taste with a build.

I soaked about an hour in cheap vodka after quick soapy water rinse. Maybe I didn't wash good enough and it's machining oil. I'll post a pic of build I pulled all the cotton out.

i had the same problem on an igo-l. ended up boiling it 2 for 10 mins at a time. bad taste went away. i just got my stillare yesterday and did the same thing right off the bat. tons of maching oil came off, no bad taste at all.
