Atomizer Question

[luky7evens]

Hello
So I have 4 atomizers at the moment and I Clean them after a week of use by running them under hot water and move on to the next one. Well I got to the first on I cleaned this past weekend (cleaned it about 3-4 weeks ago), well now when I drip after about 6-9 puffs I will get a burnt exhale taste on the next couple puffs but still get vapor production, if I let it sit for a min and puff I get very little vapor.
Is this cause of no liquid left or something else?

I usually drip 3 drops about every 5-6 draws.....or so. As soon as it starts to taste a little "dry"

After you wash them out, you need to prime them. You can use juice or just plain PG or VG. If you don't prime and then let it sit for a long time after rinsing, you can get some corrosion on the mesh in the atty. This will affect both the mesh's ability to wick juice and the taste of your juice, the former result could be what's causing your getting dry hits sooner than normal

I DIY most of my juice, so I always have PG on hand. I keep a small dropper bottle full of it just for the purpose of re-priming attys after washing them out

I do the same in terms of cleaning after a week except I hit it with the hair dryer to dry it out quick and find i get no corrosion when doing it this way.

I needed more cleaning than that after a week. Some people just rinse but nightly.

And it can take a few tries to prime attys and get them happy. Hopefully you have sealed manual batteries (if not, be careful not to drip liquid on the end of the battery)

How many drops should I use to prime them, they will be sitting for a few weeks after each use.

 

[Killjoy1]

I usually just do 3-4 drops from a dropper bottle. Since the atty is pretty much bone-dry at this point it all just soaks right in. Use too much more and it can leak out a little, which doesn't hurt anything other than making a little bit of a mess

How many drops should I use to prime them, they will be sitting for a few weeks after each use.

You can get a 10-15ml bottle of plain dilutant (PG/VG mix) from hoosierecig (many vendors sell it) fo runder $2 to prime your attys if you don't have DIY supplies on hand. After cleaning an atty, stand it threaded-end up on a paper towel after blowing the water out well. You shouldn't have corrosion (or much). When you're ready to use it, drip 4-5 drops of plain diutant in the atty then blow it out into a tissue. Add 3-4 drops of dilutant or the flavor you're using and take a couple of primer pulls before starting to inhale.

I don't know why you're getting corrosion. Dripping 5-7 drops of the flavor I'm using into a cleaned atty followed by a few primer pulls before vaping works for me. I don't use the dilutant unless the atty has an odor from a previous juice I didn't rinse well enough. I follow the directions in the first paragraph for that issue. Good luck.

Boodle from what I read, since I clean then let them sit for a few weeks before using it again might be why I get corrosion.

Killjoy1 if I add 3-4 Drop into the atty and let it sit for the few weeks I do wont hurt it and wont let it get corroded.

and thank everyone for the help.
