And it begins again...

The painstaking process of "breaking in" a new atty. I'm a dripper and I hate putting on a new atty and it taste like crap. I've blown out the nasty clear primer stuff, put in my juice and let it sit for a few minutes before vaping. The first 3 hits of my Dekang 555 were heavenly, then without fail, it got nasty! Looking for better advice on the prevention of this or even to be pointed in the right direction of an out of the box ready to drip and go LR atty. Thanks in advance to all you advice giving wonderful folk out there!

All atties have a break in period where they act funny, you just have to power through it till to the taste levels out.

You can buy atomizers that use flavorless pg as primer, instead of the nasty stuff. In fact, I refuse to buy any atty with nasty primer (unless it's SUPER cheap )

Ciscos don't have nasty primer Avid Vaper : Electronic Cigarettes, E-Liquid and Accessories

Ikenvape don't either Customer Login

Good stuff, I've ordered from avid vapers before, I'll give theirs a shot.

I hope this will help, but I definitely understand your pain. Mind you, I've done this on quite a few attys and I've only gone through about... 3, and those were from newbie mistakes. I have two attys going very strong both at 6 months of age.

I blow out all of the primer and then I drip some rubbing acohol (70% isopropyl) right on the atty and let it sit in a small paper cup. After about 2-3 minutes, I blow out the alcohol and let them dry for about 12-18 hours. I blow them out to make sure they're completely dry. Then I drip 5 drops of whatever liquid I'm using to break it in and let it sit on its threads for 2-3 minutes, pop on a drip-tip, and vape. It should be good to go

What type of atty are you using? I've got an eGo T Tank type B ... do you think your method would work on it?

I've always treated brand-new attys as if they were used and filthy. I put them through my usual cleaning process before using them for the first time. That's also what Raynen (post #5 in this thread) is doing, too: he's basically cleaning his attys before he uses them.

I vape that nasty stuff. Well, I blow it out, drip the cheapest/worst juice I got in it, huff and puff, but don't inhale. It seems to work, burned away.

I wasn't a dripper until two weeks ago when I got my Ego and I got two 510 atty's that came with it and also picked up a lr 306 and I must say...I blew out the primer and I had no problems at all. Everything tasted great. Maybe I just got lucky.

 

[KeysBum]

Y'all must have more sensitive tastebuds than I do. I use joye lr 510's and I honestly don't get a bad taste that I can notice. Maybe a little different for the first round or two of dripping, but not bad.

I would just go with cisco attys or ikenvape attys they dont come with primer on them. Just remember to keep your attys wet!
