Well done for only steeping in a dark, room temp place, I feel that’s the best bet.
So many factors as to why your liquids aren’t quite right, @TheFlavorSeeker hits a lot of them right there.

I only do steeping the @Grubby-way, so it can’t be heat doing this in my case.
Clotty gear aint good - I clean up mine before each tank I fill up. Yes, its probably overdoing it, lol, but better safe than sorry right? 
I will play more with lowered watt and different percentages of ripe and give an update. Thank you for your input on this!

Seems like TFA Vanilla Custard is known to be a little peppery also.

i forgot to mention the possibility of the coil wire type causing this taste and it can be perceived as peppery - i edited my post above to include it in case others read this later.
