Guys i wanna be sure that i know everything what i need to use my brand new EGO kit which i've just received...
I'm worryng about few things which i'm not sure whether it is necessary or not.

Atomizers: should i wash them or keep wet all the time in order to last it longer. Any specific care?

Carts: can i refill a cart many times? if not so many, what to do in order i could refill it more times..?

Poly: what is it? a piece of sponge? or polystyrene or styrofoam? or cotton-wool?

There is so many information here that it is hard to find what things are necessary to do with the cig and what not. What is the main things i should know?

I just blow them out before I go to bed, you may want to wash it if you use a strong flavor and wish to change it or just use another atty

Carts: can i refill a cart many times? if not so many, what to do in order i could refill it more times..?

About 3-6 times or more if you wash them

Poly: what is it? a piece of sponge? or polystyrene or styrofoam? or cotton-wool?

Polyfill is the same stuff used in cheap pillows and stuffed toys

Dripping is the best way of getting good flavor and vapor production

What do you mean? Dripping you mean refilling carts?

Another thing: Third time vaping i noticed that there is not so much vapour.. I've dripped three drops in an automizer as it is written in a mannual. After that there were so much vapour! :) Do i have to do it every time befor vaping?

And last thing: an automizer is quite hot.. Is it ok? My cart is new and still full..

Dripping is like you did at first, dripping 2-3 drops directly onto the atomizer, puff away and redrip when the taste starts to change. Or alternatively you can get mods that have a bottom feed system that drips a few drops everytime you squeeze an internal bottle of juice either directly or via a button depending on the type of mod (journeyman, wetbox etc)

I hardly ever actually clean an atomizer. I do blow it out if I hear a gurgling sound, which means that the atty is approaching the "flooded" point. You can blow the atty out over a paper towel by removing the atty from the battery, removing the cart, and blowing into the threaded end of the atty for 15 to 20 seconds. You will get a drop or two onto the towel.

If blowing out the atty doesn't restore good vapor, you can clean it using several methods. I just run the hot water in the sink and hold the atty under it for 15 to 20 seconds. Allow the water to run into the large end and out the threaded end. Flip it and do it again from the other end. Blow through it into the sink and then set it on a paper towel, large end down. Leave it overnight to dry. You need several atties for backup in case a coil burns out or you destroy one by cleaning it. All my atties still work after 2 months of use.

Carts are refillable until they physically break or wear out. The filler is called polyfill and can be replaced. Walmart sells polyfill in the fabrics and sewing section in bags. You want the bag that says "caution: flammable" NOT the one that talks about being treated with a chemical for fireproofing. The wrong bag usually has a statement about being approved by the state of California.

You can also convert the carts over to the Blue Foam Mod or the Pyramid Tea Bag Mod
