Noobie here...

@jguile415 what build would you suggest then because ive been thinking of moving to drippers... But its alot of pt compared to a tank
Unfortunately the melo is not an RTA unless you want to try building on the triton rba kit (it fits in the melo), it is a nightmare to build on 
the ijust 2 coils also fit in the melo (try the .3ohm coils) if you're going to building on a rta I would suggest a 5/4 wrap with 24g kanthal to start off with then experimenting from there.

Lol, IF you have another coil available, try that to see if the burnt taste remains, but as others said earlier, make sure it's properly primed.
Even a slight burnt taste will definitely detract from any joose flavor. A new coil should tell you if it could be a taste in the juice you are picking up, or if it is the actual coil that is producing the burnt taste.
I presume the coil would really have to be pretty dry to get scorched that easily. In the name of science, I intentionally vaped my Subtank almost bone dry with TC on a Stainless Steel coil at 180 or 190 °C till there was virtually no vapour coming out. It did not burn the cotton. I then did the same a day or 2 later at 220 °C, and still no burning taste. One dryish hit even at 15W in power mode on the same coil, and the wick was ruined. Fortunately it's a rebuildable, and quick to wick. So that is one benefit of TC - no more Dry Hits.
If it is gunk just on the coil that is responsible for the burnt taste, you can try soaking the coil in some Vodka for a few hours or overnight, and then leave it to dry totally before re-use. That is/was a common method to get extended life out of commercial coils , but your mileage may vary.

@jguile415 I was thinking of maybe buying a cheap rda and experimenting on that but $$ is the big problem
@Kuhlkatz i think i have another coil that i could try out... Then maybe just soak the other coil in the mean time and see what comes of it, sorry about all the questions but this is quite a learning curve for me and no one i know vapes so i dont really have anybody to ask.
But one thing is i had half a cigarette yesterday and i almost puked, vaping has helped me a ton, dont even have that shortness of breath climbing stairs

Check out the classifeds on this forum. There's loads of people selling cool stuff for good prices

@jguile415 ill have a look there but it sounds like a great idea thanks
Well, you have a whole forum full of vapers at your disposal, so ask away to your heart's content. This is definitely one of the most helpful and chilled communities I have ever experienced. I agree, stinkies may taste horrible now, but they probably still taste better than burnt cotton
I would definitely try to see if some vodka can rescue that other coil. Just keep in mind that a tank with a rebuildable deck definitely works out cheaper in the long run on maintenance, but the duals tend to be quite thirsty.
Not at all. If the deck is easily accessible so you do not have to dump or drain any remaining juice, it takes just a few minutes to wash & dry the base, dry-burn and wick. Slightly longer than just putting in a new coil, but still really straight-forward. Nickel and Titanium builds is probably best to recoil every time, but Kanthal and Stainless Steel is really just a question of cleaning the coil with a few dry-burn and rinses, and stuffing in new cotton.
To give you an idea, @Oliver Barry makes it look really simple in a few of the vids in this thread http://www.ecigssa.co.za/ollies-you-tube-channel.t18920/, and this is on some tanks that the guys supposedly battle with.
After using a Nautilus Mini and commercial coils for almost a year before passing it on to a mate, the Subtank Mini and Billow V2 became my daily drivers without me really worrying about the constant upgrade syndrome. Not saying I'm not looking at new stuff, I'm just saying they work for me without me worrying about coil costs

Change jooses is the easiest option
Some are just vile and would even choke the highest nic users.Throat hit mostly comes from the Nicotine content or the PG content in juices. Most people mix down 'strong' juices by adding a bit of VG. Vegetable Glycerine is one of the components used in mixing juices.
I have also seen some guys mention that particular flavors seem to have a higher throat hit, despite it being a low nic juice. Some of the DIY additives that does not directly contribute to flavor like EM (Ethyl Maltol) or 'TFA Smooth' is said to reduce throat hit as well, but they will alter the flavor profile.
As a test, you can take a bit of VG and try 'thinning' a small sample of the juice. I say 'thinning' as VG is actually the thicker component of the juice. PG is far more runny than VG.
You can get some 'Dolly Varden' BP Grade VG at almost any supermarket. Most SPAR stores will stock it at around R30-R35 for 250 ml.
Just do a small 5ml sample and add anything from 20% to 50% VG. It will most likely reduce the flavor substantially at 50%.
