Weird taste after cleaning and priming

Has this ever happened to you?

I just cleaned my coil, and primed it with the new juice I made(lets call it juice 1), the juice didnt steep yet, but i had to try it. As i tried it i was okay thats good. Then i put another juice in(call it juice 2) and after few tanks of the juice 2 it felt different... it was like i still had that bit of thr juice i just made, then i put in another juice(juice 3) to see if it feels the same, and i put a bit, and vaped it. I felt the taste, but still it was an odd taste, like i still felt a bit of juice one). I went to smell the juice 1 to see if thats the taste i sensed, but it was a bit different. I am sure it is not a burned coil. What could it be?

Is it possible, that just a bit of juice 1 stayed in the wick so long?
Or did something happen to the coil? Because I did not dry the coil and also it doesnt crackle anymore, rather it feels like water heating up.
And tell me how to fix this issue
PLEASE HELP

Mixing e-Liquids can sometimes result in undesirable flavors in my experience. Cleaning coils is a waste of time unless you are building your own decks but you didn't mention wicking so I am assuming you cleaned a factory coil. If so throw it away and install a new one. Good Luck

There are a few flavors that, in my experience, get into wicking and just will not leave. The worst two I've found have been pineapple and coffee.

Also I never ever had a good experience with trying to clean and reuse a factory coil. Agree with Steve - if this is what you did, trash it and use a new coil.

As nadalama said.
Some flavors hang around longer than others in a wick and it is virtually impossible to totally clean a factory coil.
And if you do you should let them totally dry out as water does not vape well.
PG and VG vaporize well. Water does not in a vape.
Also water in a wick means that it will not soak up the juice very well.

VG and PG are both Water Soluble so just like priming a coil it will let the e-Liquid saturate the cotton.

Yep, I'll also add my opinion which is that cleaning coils is a waste of time and juice. Getting strange tastes sometimes is just a part of vaping, and it can be a pain in the ass. Sometimes you'll use a strong juice or even a distinct tasting juice and that flavor will just never leave the coil. Sometimes you'll get a burnt or chemical taste after priming and doing everything right, sometimes you may not get much of a taste at all. Sounds like you just need to toss that coil and start over. I own three tanks, one for sweets/desert juice, one for fruity juice and one for coffee/tobacco type juice that I enjoy from time to time.
