cartamizer/ atomizer..

[abernfeld]

So I had a d.o.a atamozier for the riva. I called LF and they were out of stock so they sent me one for the joyce 510. So i got it today and it tastes funny. Like really funny. The vaper production is GREAT but it kinda tastes like maybe they sent me a cartamizer instead. But the two pieces came a apart. I used drip tips so i took the other piece off and dripped the liquid in. It tastes gross though!! I don't know wat to do. I've been doing really good the last couple days with only one analog a day. Today I've had three because I just cant vape this thing its nasty. PLEASE HELP!

I think what you are tasting is the primer fluid that some atties have in them when new. I suggest you get a bit of paper towel, stuff it up the atty and blow hard down the other end to blow the fluid into the paper. Then put your drip tip on, drip some fresh juice in and vape it. The primer taste will go away anyway after a while but this will make it go more quickly.

If they sent you a joy atty clean it with quick vodka bath or everclear.Cartos got foam filling attys don't easy to tell the diff.Also try to remove the wick they can taste bad it is under the mettle bridge you see inside if it is a atty.

Good advice above. One more variable is your juice. Try holding the button about three seconds on a five second pull. That may or may not work depending on your juice but only takes a few seconds to check. Also, if your atty is flooded it can taste pretty harsh.

I'm betting it's the primer- to keep them from drying out/getting unusable, most companies ship atties with some "primer" fluid already on them. It tastes like crap.

Alternatively, it may need cleaning. (I know, why would a new atty need cleaning? Sometimes they do, though.)

By the way, a Riva atty and a 510 atty are the same thing, I think...

PS- If it were a cartomizer, you'd know- they don't look the same.
