So, yeah, I'm fairly new to vaping and I'm having some problems with my mechanical mod. It tastes burnt no matter what I do. Any tips/advices? I have always had the "burnt taste" with my ecigs, even when I use the high quality liquids. Thanks!

Without knowing the specifics.... atomizer brand/model, wire gauge and type, parallel coil count, net resistance, power supply/battery, wattage if a VW mod, juice blend (percent PG/VG) flavor and maker... no one can answer your question.
Got Hellboy RDA, Pegasus clone (brass contacts, houses single 18650 battery), 26 gauge resistance wire, 100 percent cotton, single coil at the moment (tried with double coil as well, but still the same result). I usually prefer buying from other companies but these are from Fasttech.
And using Cotton Candy 80/20 PG/VG 0mg blend from Cloud House Vapor.
Any tips will be highly appreciated.

I already tried with only a bit of cotton, still same. Thanks, tho!
Try saturating the wick before you tuck it under.
I already took the cotton and coil off.
Anyways guys, thanks for the tips. I will try again tomorrow and post an update with a picture.
Good luck my friend
I tried not to use too thick cotton so the juice could run through without problems.
I'm not quite sure how to tuck the cotton correctly. Can it be in contact with the all of the posts? Does it matter?
And yeah, I did try with the the other center post as well.
It tastes burnt immediately and barely no smoke producing.
What can you do, I'm a newbie with these things, but we've all been there once. I'm probably tucking the cotton incorrectly or the coil is messed up. Any help would be appreciated!
I would redo the coil it needs to be tightly wrapped after u make the coil without a wick fire it up when its almost cooled off squeeze the side together with tweezers refire it repeat this process until the coil lights up evenly starting in the center working out
Are your coils firing evenly from the center outwards? If they're not adjusted properly you could be having a problem with hot spots
Nah, It's not that. I have tried with multiple coils, the others weren't that far out.

Still gotta work on that a bit.

Wrapping coils takes practice...I am sure you'll get it worked out in time....my two cents...if you're not going to wrap a microcoil style coil where all the wraps are touching then you need to try and make sure all of your wraps are evenly spaced....uneven coils can create hotspots on the wick where it's burning more juice on one part of the wick than the other and that could be what's giving you that burnt taste as well....everything needs to be even...even wraps, even spacing....all continuity and feng shui like
