A little bit of ethanol would not be surprising because the solvent for a lot of flavoring chemicals is ethanol,” Peace said. “For instance, if you're going to be using natural vanilla extract, you're going to wind up with small amounts of ethanol in the e-liquid.
Your eliquid has probably been contaminated. Another, rather worse, alternative is that the VG used was not properly purified and contains methanol (glycerol is a byproduct of biodiesel production). If you've just bought it, send it back - no eliquid should smell of alcohol.
This weird taste happens mainly due to the strong flavour of e-juice and neglecting to clean your vaping device: Strong flavours such as lemon, and tobacco from earlier vaping can cause heavy flavour-mixed. Lack of cleaning can leave the remnant of the previous e-juice and disrupt the flavour of the new juice.
If you have ever bought a bottle of e liquid and thought that it was terrible, it may have only needed steeping. With some liquids, the flavor seems off, is too strong, tastes like perfume or has some other unpleasant effect. Steeping can help neutralize those negative effects.

The coil is overheating or drying out when you vape, and that has caused the coil's cotton wick to burn. In this case, you'll experience an extremely harsh flavor when vaping because you'll actually be tasting singed cotton. E-liquid residue has collected on the coil's heating surface.

As a general guideline, most coils are designed to last for several hundred to several thousand puffs before needing to be replaced, which can vary greatly depending on various factors such as the type of coil, wattage settings, e-liquid composition, and personal vaping habits.
Dry hits are when the cotton (or other wicking material) in your vape is not saturated with ejuice. This can either be down to a wicking issue, a coil being ran at too high of a wattage (or in need of being changed) or simply having an empty tank!
