Whats your ohms for the coil and how many watts are you vaping at?..To get a dry burnt taste from a dripper seems odd considering your saturating the wick to death before hand...Possibly the watts are set to high?

Mike H. is right. You're probably vaping at too high wattage. I usually vape around 65W on my iPV3 with a .15 build

Sounds like you got a dry hit and roached your cotton. Several possibilities:
- Too high wattage
- Bad wicking (too tight/too loose)
- Not dripping enough juice beforehand

There are probably some more, but like others have said, we need to know more about what you're working with to help...

my ohm was reading .3 and i was using a around 40 watt.
when i take a look at it my cotton all brown and my coil turns red really quick in the middle and not even like it should.
which idont get because the coils were all evenly together

Speaking from personal experience with my Stillare V3, you have a short in one of your coils, meaning one of your leads is either too short or not fully secured and it's burning when you fire the mod, the Stillare V3 is tricky!

When you wrap your leads around the negative screws hold them as tight to the screw as possible and make them wrap around in the same direction that you'll be tightening the screws so as you tighten the screws it makes the leads more secure

It def made the taste go away! thank you! i sometimes feel the burnt but when i open it i see the cotton is dry. but otherwise once its dripped again its good thank you! :D

you will get an idea of how much you can vape before it goes dry, just drip a little sooner than that :)

Turn down the wattage, you probably don't need more than 30.

I have the same problem with my sigelei 150. I currently have a Little boy with a .3ohm vaping at 70watts and it tastes sorta soapy. Same with my mephisto with .5 single coil and vaping at 50watts. I know its not my juice since im using Milkman on both.

I'll give you the same advice I gave OP, look for any shorts or hotspots in your build while there is no cotton in it then check all connections, rewick and try again!

Glad it worked and the other thing I can think of is that one of your leads may be too short causing it to burn, it's happened to me in the past

All of them are long enough to peek on the other side of the post, due to clipping them they do have a tiny bit left over.

Double check and make sure those extra pieces are still connected, I've over tightened screws before and severed the leads
