I've been reading a lot about breaking in atomizers and cartomizers but it's not clear to me how you do this. Do you just pull vapor but not inhale? Hate to think what it is you're breathing in if there's some junk or coating on the coil, etc.
Break- in for atomizers and cartomizers?

Well, it sort of depends on the atty or carto and what type it is. In any case, if it's an atty blow out the "primer" (whatever that is) before you use it and consider (but it's not essential) cleaning it out.
You don't really break them in but they do need time to wick the first ever juice you put in there.
The cartos I use I'll fill them up for the first time and give it 10 - 30 minutes to absorb it all then it's good to go, no breaking in required.
For my atties, my tank atties need broken in to a small degree but it's more along the lines of getting juice inside the things. Like you suggested I'll just vape them without inhaling the vapour until I can taste it and it's producing the right amount but it's more because I use all VG and it takes a long time to wick with tanks and less about breaking it in. Atties with carts you can simply direct drip to get an instant wicking so again it doesn't really need broken in.
This breaking in I think you're referring to is the theory that atomizers and cartos perform better with useage over time then eventually degrade. I think this prime performance after "breaking in" is a myth but that's me. I think once you've got juice in your kit, the first time you use it it's at its cleanest and purest and should be the best it'll ever be.

Breakin period means that the longer you use the carto or atty, the better it will perform. Basically, if you don't like the vapor, flavor, TH at first, give it some time as they tend to improve while using it. Dual coil cartos are a good example. The first hour or 2 of use sometimes stink but keep at it, it gets better.

you don't have to worry about safety, the primer fluid is made to taste bad so that you remember to add fluid and not let the atty burn dry!
They do improve in vapor production and flavour with a little use.

BUT as far as dripping atty's go, make sure they COME with the primer. If they don't....well you could cook the atty. Did that with my first Cisco 1.5 /sigh
Those attys are tricky but I find that if you watch the temp and don't vape for more then 5 seconds and give them a cool off period. they work great
I normally give mine to a stray orphan child to vape on for an hour and then it's perfect and ready to vape on by that time.
