Always getting dry hits

I have this problem I can't seem to figure out. Had this problem with Kamrys pipe aswell as a little cheaper vape stick and now my new SMOK V8. I always tend to get dry hits that tastes like ass after the 2nd or 3rd drag or so. The coils I have tried on this is the prebuilt "0,4 ohm - 55-65 w". And this is after I have primed it very well, letting the juice sink in for a half an hour. And after that, doing some drags without power on. Starting on the lowest wattage.

"Okay, so now this cant go wrong".

First drag: oh Nice, its working. Great taste.

Second drag: this is very nice. Especially IF you like....

Third drag: ASSHOLE

So now, instead of vanilla or watermelon, I feel the tingeling sensation of bum on my tastebuds.

So there are two things I imagine causing this. The waiting time after priming is not probably it, but it could be:

1. After Ive primed the coil, I tend to put it in the vape right away. Then let it sit there for 30 min.

(I read that you can get an airlock and not letting the juice prime properly when installing the primed coil right away without letting it sink in.)

And I dont know if this have to do with anything but:

2. When "pre-puffing" the switched off device, I always hold in the "fire"-button. Should i NOT press the fire button when priming?

Okay, so these two things are the only I can think of... Thoughts?

And yea, since the coils doesnt seem to be burnt, at least by the looks of them, could it be fixed with a couple of new juice drops on the coil and letting them sink in?

So, What wattage level are you using?
If you turn the watts down a bit does it still taste like ass but ass with less vapor or is it any better?

Let's start over lolol

install the coil to the base, if switching to a new coil or no coil was installed by default.

look around your house, find a small/thin safety pin or needle, push pin etc.
look at your coil, on the outside you have 4 l little open windows. Take the pin and gently poke into the cotton. Avoid the wire underneath.

Depending on your juice (70vg/30pg) and up, poke 2 holes into each chamber, totaling 8 holes at the end. If you have thinner juice (below 70vg) poke one hole in only 2 chambers.

now take your juice, drip a good amount in every chamber, then drip some in the middle. The color of the white dry cotton should change to either the color of the liquid, if transparent you should see at least saturation.

Screw the top of your tank on, close the airflow, full the tank. Without the fire button pressed, take 5-10 puffs, don't do long ones just short and simple. Let stand for 10-15 minutes.

after this time, open the airflow, take a hit and you should be fine. However depending on the thickness of your juice, you will need to wait a couple second between puffs, you can not chain vape it.

All that is assuming you using that v8 with their beast tank, if so let me also point out, that the m2 coils are for that tank and stick. Since you didn't specify it, I'm assuming you using the Q4-8 that's for the baby beast tank but doesn't really perform well with the stick?

It does taste less ass when vaping with more open airflow. When trying it out fully closed = SUPER ASS! Tasted horrible....

Tried to be somewhere in the middle, so guess its around 40-50.

Man, this is the solution, usually that happens with those coils and the fix is this... Poke the cotton.

And don't vape with the airflow closed. No air coil heats too much and burns cotton
