What exactly IS atomizer primer fluid?

I know it tastes terrible and it's better left blown out before use, but what is it exactly? Any chemists in the house?

I heard it was just e-liquid with no nicotine and no flavour. It tastes like the stuff toy trains that smoke run on so probably is.

Ohh and I like the avatar

My understanding from a couple of venders is that the primer is simply pure PG. I have to say that some atty's I have received tasted like used automotive oil. I can't imagine that pure PG should taste like that. Anyway, I always just rinse my new atty out before I use it and blow it out real good.

Uhhhh... I have trouble believing that it's pure PG. There's a brutal harshness to it that reminds me of burnt aluminum foil... really wish someone had a definitive answer

Maybe.. I've vaped flavorless before, which is pure PG + nic and it didn't taste anything like primer..

So if it is PG it has to be something other than that thats giving it the nasty flavor. How about the wink material? I beleive its a type of steel wool, so that would explain the metalic flavor..

I dunno, the harshness I've gotten from a brand new atomizer was completely different than the nasty burnt taste of a dry atomizer... the former being much worse
