Avoiding funny taste with a new atty.

[Ez Duzit]

Well, I tried to mod my 401 atty so it draws better, but I actually killed it. If you want to, you can read about that here.

Anyway, now I needed a new atty, so I took one out, and just for kicks, decided to blow it out before the first use. I was amazed at how much liquid came out of a brand new atty. After I was satisfied that almost all of the factory liquid was out, I just primed it with 4 drops, let it soak in for a minute, then put on a freshly filled cart and started vaping. NO foul taste and plenty of vapor.

I think the suppliers should be getting on to the manufacturers about the bad taste we so often get from a new atty......we all happily call it the 'primer' and say it's only juice that doesn't taste very good.....but is it? is it simply just a crappy flavoured juice or is it something we shouldn't be vaping?? No one knows.

I think its actually liquid manufacturers use to make sure that the atomizers don't burn out on first use. My earlier stocks came dry but the newer atomizers come with liquid. Possibly a way for the manufacturers to avoid DOA claims.

I take it a step further. After blowing it out, I'll work a paper towel in to the atty to the point it hits the bridge. Blow again a time or two, then stand it uprght in my pencil cup for an hour or so to absorb what's left in the bridge. Prime with a few drops of juice before I use it and am generally ready to go!

I just got my 510 from innovapor and soaked all the attys in everclear for 15 minutes. It went from clear to a goldish aplle juice color with a bunch of stuff floating around in it. It was kinda gross.

I roll up a piece of paper towel, stick it inside the atty and blow it out from the battery side. Then I'll blow it out from the cart side. I repeat until I can't get any more primer out. Then I put a couple of drops of juice on the atty bridge, pop in a cart, and vape away.

This has worked every time to avoid that nasty primer taste. And it's safer for your atty than soaking or using other cleaning methods.
