Hello I am new to vaping and decided to pick up a battery and tank and I had gotten a bad burn taste out of my first coil after a few days which is strange because I followed the instructions of the store as well as a few videos on refilling my juice. So I said whatever I have a second one so I cleaned the coil with warm water and put it to air dry. I popped in my second coil and everything was fine until I refilled with Ronin banzai juice (the same juice that got me the burnt taste before) and I got a burnt taste again. Is there something with the juice and the coil causing this issue? Because I vape with my father's sub box mini no problem with that flavor. Should I go back to the shop (haven't owned it for a full week yet) and maybe swap it out for another or should I abandon the tank completely and go for a different brand. Or is there just something I'm doing wrong on my end that could be fixed with a little work? Thanks.

Nautilus mini burnt taste not even a day of use

What pg/vg content are you at?if your at 0/max then the thickness of your fluid could be the problem basicly it can't saturate the wick as fast as you can burn it off. I suggest a mix of approximately 30/70 pg/vg or (if applicable) rebuilding the rba head with a thinner wick so the juice can flow more evenly
Nautilus tanks have a great reputation for flavor and reliability. So, it worked on Dad's subox ok... what are you using most of the time? How many watts, what are the ohms of your coil? I read about that brand and flavor of juice, so it looks like you've got a 30/70 blend. Should be wicking ok, I'd think.
I'm vaping at 13 watts with a 1.8ohm coil.
The juice is 70vg 30pg so it might be the high vg content. I'll just avoid high vg from now on on the nautilus mini and vape those on the sub box mini or pick up a new tank (I want my own sub ohm tank/coil anyways)

Are they cotton coils (OCC)?
Mine doesn't say occ on the coil so I guess not. I can try rebuilding the coil from the video I watched it doesn't seem like too hard of a process and I have a bunch of organic cotton balls I can boil to attempt.
Some of the coils are the old type made with a silica like material. You will find out when you pull a used one apart to rebuild. With cotton, I'd get some Japanese cotton squares, it's much easier to work with and the flavor is better than cotton balls. With cotton, it need to be saturated before power is added, or it's burnt and no good any more. Same with vaping, if not enough eliquid gets to the cotton at a higher temp/watts, it burns and that that yucky burned flavor will remain until you either toss the coil and put a new one in or rebuild it.
Are Japanese cotton squares easy to come about? And are they cheap?
Most vape shops sell it, but I'm sure it'd cost more.
Hey, where'd my links go? I posted 3.

What the... ok, go on amazon. Japanese cotton. Muji, Koh Gen Do, and Shiseido are recommened ones. Or Cotton Bacon.
I custom make my liquids at 0pg/99.9vg (cut with small amounts of distilled water) and I've never had this issue.
EDIT; more like 98.6 because the VG I buy isn't 100% VG it's only 98.7

Yes and yes but not as cheap as cotten balls
I have the bigger holed ones after cleaning and a good air dry my flavor isn't burnt anymore. I ordered some Japanese cotton though and try to rebuild it so I'm a little more satisfied with the pull. Thank you guys for the info and help
Just my opinion and what I have found is running that tank on anything more than 10 Watts leads to dry hits, burnt taste. I am relatively new to vaping and quit cigs using the mini and full size nautilus a little over a month ago. My coils have all been the newer style with Japanese cotton wicking material. I have reused the coils after cleaning as you mentioned and it always runs Great!! Still have those in my rotation but have the sub tank and more power to play with now.
Also worth mentioning, I tend to chain vape so it didnt take long for me to get those burnt dry hits. After reducing the wattage to 6-9 i never get into that nasty taste unless i run it outta juice!
