I have had the Arctic tank for about a month now and have had no problems until recently. I am running it on a Sigelei 150. The past two coils have had a burnt taste or actually burnt every other pull. Sometimes it reads the coil as anywhere between .2-.6 and just burns the hell out of it. I cleaned the 510 connections on the mod and the tank and I always prime my coils. Can anyone think of anything that may help me.

I just changed the juice back to the vanilla custard juice (70/30) I usually use as my ADV and haven't seemed to have any issues. Although the juice I was using before didn't specify what the ratio was. Hopefully all is well. Thank you everyone for your assistance.
Any burnt cotton taste will not go away, change the coil and you should be ok
If you take apart the dead coil you will see the the cotton "pads" they use are kinda thin so if you let your juice level get so low the you dry hit even once for even a half second, the cotton is toasted every time.

Some flavors and blends are not really suitable for high wattage vaping. Fruits tend to mute at high watts. I made a Cherry Ry4 that was great at 30-35 watts in my Kanger Subtank, but with a .2 Coil in the Arctic at 55 watts, it sucked. The Mix was 85vg/15vg.
I have to agree with that statement. When I was still buying my ready made e-juice, I had one Vanilla juice, that I could only vape in a Kanger Protank 1, with real low wattage.

I love this tank, and in general have never had an issue. Typically vape high VG at 70w, the coils last well but every so often I find one that tastes of shit and it takes me an age to get rid of the flavour from the tank. Even after replacing the coil and bathing that tank in alcohol.
My brother had the same problem on his Sig 150, but his read ohms differently every time.. He checked the .2 ohm (new) coil on a separate ohm meter that read .21 ohms.. But the Sig read it as low as .12 and as high as .30
just by taking it off and screwing it back down again..After trying to figure out what was wrong it pissed my brother off so much he beat that Sig 150 to pieces with a 2lb sledge... Lol
He now has both the IPV3 and IPV4, and they read ohms perfectly, first time,
every time...

If your ohms are jumping there could be a problem with the connection - most likely culprit would be a coil that's come loose. If your mod thinks it's delivering power to a 0.6 ohm coil when it's really a 0.2, that's a recipe for disaster every time...
Hi Bruce. You did not mention what wattage you were running it at. I used to get a burnt taste on my .2 coils at
anything above 50 watts. (On a Sig 150) I now use the .5 coils at 30 watts on my IStick 50 and flavor/vapor production is fantastic using a 70/30 juice.
