What wattage should I run my RDA at?
If you don’t want to run higher wattage, I recommend going back to a higher-ohm build in your RDA. The general rule-of-thumb is, the lower the Ohm, the higher the Wattage. For example, if I’m running a 0.5ohm coil in a sub-ohm tank, I’m only going to push 40-50 watts on my mod.

The most common reason your oil vape tastes burnt is that you did not heed the warning of a dry hit, and ignited your wick. When a wick is saturated, it transfers the heat from the atomizer into the vape juice to create vapor. If there is no vapor, the heat burns the wick, creating nasty, scorched-tasting smoke.
Why is my RDA coil popping?
