Nasty tasting juice.

Hello you all. I am a newbie here and to the vaping comunity. I have a question, why are my juices tasting so nasty after a day of vaping? I am using a vaporeso target with a vaporesso gemini rta. On sunday i built my self two twisted coils with a kanthal 26gage wire(double twisted) and the first 2days all was fine. (Coils are hittin 2.9 ohms) Had very good tasting vapes. Juices im using come from vape wild and started out with mint chocolate then a graham craker flavor and that when it all went bad. I removed the cotton(im using the bacon bits one) cleaned out my coils with a metal brush coils looked very good rewicked and got a decent flavor from it for 24hrs. Now it tastes bad again. Could it be the fact that i left my juices in the car for about nine hours with a temp of about 80 to 82 degrees or my coils? As just cices tastes a little metalic. I will appreciate any help. Thanks.

Well, ...

Leaving your juices in a hot car/truck may be a factor. Try to avoid
doing that. :) It may also help to age juices a little. I set juices
aside for about a week, sometimes two. Sometimes give something a
little shake now and then. This lets the juice get all blended.

As @Wanda points out too, it may be your sense of taste adjusting. I
know many who have a good sense of taste prior to being smokers say
their tastes return after stopping smoking. Have limited sense of taste
here, smoking or not. That's another spotted horse though.

You may also want to do oxidation on the Kanthal. It is not a huge
involved process. If you still got some Bic lighters around you're set.
Just pull the wire through the flame a bit. It ought to glow orange
soon. It cools fairly quickly, yet be cautious to not burn yourself.

Go from end to end prior to wrapping the coil. I see you're using
twisted coils, oxidize each strand before you put it all together to
twist, wrap. Oxidation will clean out any impurities in the metal and
also set the metal. That will reduce any metallic taste transfer to near
nil, or nil.

Hope I have offered some help.

Thanks i will try the oxidation method on my next coil build. Thanks again.
