Mutation X V4 odd issue

All input welcome here, especially if you can help out with this issue.

The issue? An always present and annoying taste, regardless of the build or actual juice used.

I've changed wick material (4 times)
I've went through the entire elimination process with the VG/PG/Nic.
Kanthal, Ni200, in multiple sizes etc.

And this one taste is always present. Even though I've never tasted it with my other tanks.

The only real difference, copper in the outer tube and cap. But I wouldn't think it gets hot enough to cause this issue. Has anyone had issues with copper before?

Strange. I owned two fully copper Mutation X's and never had any weirdness like this. Perhaps someone else will chime in with an answer. Good luck!

Are any part of your lips or tongue coming in contact with that copper around the cap?
Any saliva get on there that might get back into
your taste buds?

I often drink water out of a copper cup
and sometimes get that cucumber like slightly metallic taste

Did you check the gaskets to make sure they are not melted ?? thats the first thing I can think of I have never experienced this with mine but its all SS

Gaskets are okay.

Thanks I've give it a try with an extended tip on it, and see if that helps any.

Copper reacts with saliva like a battery, you might even feel a subtle tingle
along with the weird taste. The long tip idea is a winner.

I know the rim of my RDA's and RTA's touch my bottom lip
when I'm toking.

That worked, thanks.
