Atomizer newbie

[Elsie]

Hello,

I've been using carts with my Ego-T and have really had no problems but I like the idea of a drip-tip and started using an atomizer. I've read some posts in the forums and tried a few of the suggestions but I'm not sure if this is the way to go for me. Or perhaps, I just really don't know what I'm doing.

I drop a few drops of e-juice in the drip-tip, wait a few seconds and initially my first draw is good. Tasty. Sometimes my second and third draws are good. Then, BLECH. So, I'm thinking I need to put more e-juice in but then it starts leaking out the bottom as if there's too much juice in it. Is this normal?

I'm trying to press the batt button a sec before I draw and trying to make the draws slow and steady (as opposed to full out drag on a cart for me) and its still hit or miss. Any tips/suggestions?

Also, I purchased some clearomizers. My bakery flavors taste "overbaked". No more subtle hints of cinnamon in my Snickerdoodle. It just tastes like overcooked cookies. Are some carts/atty's not meant to be used with some juices?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Dripping usually gives about 4 to 5 good drags before you get the yuch...if you add too much juice you will flood it and get gurgling and juice all over your battery.Use a manual battery if your dripping if you use an automatic it will kill the battery if juice gets in the air hole.

Leaking is simply part of the equation when you're dripping in a 510 atty. It may not happen all the time, but it's gonna happen sooner or later, more so with thinner juices, and it's most likely gonna get on your nerves... and also, like Mr Whitecloud said, it may cause you problems with your device/batteries. That is why the drip shield has become so popular. I highly suggest getting one. Empiremods has the best drip sheilds and the biggest selection of styles and colors. If you do get one, don't forget to get a 510 - 510 sealed adapter... it's a must for it to work properly, unless your using a 901 atty. Get a drip shield and say goodbye to paper towels.

Also, when your atty is brand new or recently cleaned, don't forget to prime it with 6-9 drops first and let it sit for a minute or two. Then continue with 2 or 3 drops at a time from then on as needed. Happy vaping!!!

What resistance is the atomizer? The flavor issue sounds like it's burning juice, but that's not usually an issue on 3.7V devices.
