Out of curiosity, is that Strawberry a flavor concentrate? or is it a premade ejuice that’s ready to vape?
concentrate.
Don’t suppose you can upload a pic of your flavor bottle and wick could you?
I was more curious to see the Flavor Concentrate labels if they had any. Was going to do some web digging.
heh. its mostly in arabic anyway.
ingredients: pg, vanilla, ethyl maltol, colors e150, flavors.
thats the long line

Meh, I live in Dearborn, Michigan. I bet my neighbor could translate it. 
This tells me what I was looking for anyways. They have three product lines: food, fragrance, and shisha. At least I can dig deeper knowing what the label looks like. The Shisha line looks like the one you want, but this looks like this is from the food line.
From uffjo.com
UFF: is the main line of flavors and is used in:
• Soft & carbonated beverages
• Confectionary, sweets & chewing gum
• Ice cream & dairy products
• Biscuits, wafers & bakery
• Fats & ghees
• Pharmaceuticals & personal care products
AROMATIC: is the line of flavors and colors tailored to suit the needs of bakeries, restaurants, hotels, coffee shops, patisseries and retail shops. AROMATIC flavors are of a lower concentration than UFF flavors.
Shisha Flavors: is the line of flavors dedicated to the tobacco/smoking applications which include shisha and related industries such as steam stones, e-cigarettes and e-shishas.
so most definately then i have the aromatic line. cause it does say for “For food applications” on the bottle.
theres no way they’re gonna bring in the shisha line. especially when the vape stuff is banned 
i guess my next option is try the Scentium-flavourings. however their bottles lack any sort of ingredients.

Not saying you can’t use what you have. Just the ingredients in them and the concentration levels will be much different than what you might expect from the Shisha line. You may be able to find more info through the web, or it might just take a lot more tinkering to get the levels right. My guess is that most of the percentages we talk here will be out of whack for what you are using.
Youi can always taste a drop of the juice you made on the tip of your finger. As long as it’s not 100mg nic it won’t hurt you. See if you detect the off taste there.
What are the ohms reading on the mod? Those being Kanthal, I always built unspaced coils.
That wick doesn’t look at all burnt. What kind of cotton is it? I don’t see that stated anywhere. I have had Japanese Cotton taste kinda woody at first until it got broke in. But nothing so bad I couldn’t vape right on through it. You being where you are, and with the lack of resources you have available to you, I am afraid you might have to become a bit of a Pioneer. I would try to find some good clean organic cotton.
Try building some of these, or watch some videos using the same wire you have available.
i am not sure i understand that part. as in ?

Unless you see Aromatic somewhere on the bottle I actually think your using the UFF food line.
UFF: is the main line of flavors and is used in:
• Soft & carbonated beverages
• Confectionary, sweets & chewing gum
• Ice cream & dairy products
• Biscuits, wafers & bakery
• Fats & ghees
• Pharmaceuticals & personal care products
I mean 5-10% of the Shisha line might give totally different flavor than 5-10% of the UFF food line. You may only need 2% or it might take 25% to achieve the same flavor. Not sure which it is and it may take quite a bit of experimenting to find out.
To see if it is the cotton, you could put a few drops of juice directly on the coils after removing the cotton and see if you still taste the weird flavor. Don’t let the coils get too hot though. Quick pulse, juice.
I am not even sure what that cotton is. The problem with that cotton and the cotton you are using, it wasn’t designed for vaping. So it’s really hard to say if you can safely use them or not. Only one way to find out.
ok so today i went back to the guy that sells the flavorings and while talking to the reseller of the UFF with the jordanian flavours i asked him if he can bring me the shisha type and he said NO.
so i bought the scentium-flavourings type.
guess what? it has no perfummy smell. it smells much nicer and cleaner.
i bought 100ml of four flavours to try out.
milk paste i believe is one
strawberry
banana
chocolate.
i also purchased a new bottle of glycerin that i have taken a picture of here. its purity is 99.5% and is labeled Glycerin AR.
wait a minute. so drip on the coil. close the RDA, vape with no cotton?
i realize you said very fast but isnt that dangerous?
My guess is it is still the cotton. I had a friend use cotton balls, just to try it, that tasted horrible. Something about the fibers being different than the cotton sheets we use for vaping.
I still don’t believe you would get these tastes you speak of from any flavorings, even is they are shit flavorings. At the very least you would get a chemical/perfume taste from them. A burnt or cardboard taste is akin to what you would get from a fiber, not an extract.
So without having it in front of me, my money is still on the cotton.
Much thanks to @Big_Benny_MI and @LordVapor for jumping in!
I concur 100% and i am trying to find good cotton. theres no organic here in baghdad per say … i am just trying all sorts.
so perhaps my cardboard taste is me using a fancy name for burnt cause i have nothing to compare to.
Burnt cotton can taste like smoking a stick.
And to answer your question - no, it is not dangerous to fire your coil without cotton. It is how you clean most coils (except Ti. Never dry fire Ti). There would be enough residual liquid on the coils that you could do a few test vapes, maybe adding a drop or two to the coils after each vape. Then you would be able to eliminate the juice you made as the culprit.
Can you get ahold of any hemp cord? It would look like twine.
I am with Darth. I would bet money the cotton you are using in’t good. Maybe it has some polyester fill or something in it. Even small traces of a substance that is not cotton can burn and give off a nasty flavor. So like I was saying in a previous reply, you may just have to get creative. Think outside the box mod. Start hunting for alternative wicking materials. Surely there is something near you that can be shoved into those coils and will work. It may not be the best solution. But ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
I sent you a message. Maybe you don’t know how to check your messages. Are you in the military? Can we send you some wicking material to an APO address or something over there?
