I've only used the NI TC ones, but the basics are the same.
To prime them:
1) using a fine tip bottle or dripper, put in 4-6 drops INSIDE the coil cartridge and let the liquid soak into the cartridge's ceramic, you can do this with the cartridge in the base, or before you put it in, which might prevent leaks from the air vents if you flood it. You want as much liquid to be absorbed, as much as the ceramic will hold.
2) put it it the base, close the tank as normal, close the air vents, and suck 1 or 2 medium pulls without firing the device, but try to not overdo it and flood the tank and end up with flooding coming out of the air vents.
3) wait about 30 seconds to a minute for everything to settle. (hold it upside down for 5 seconds halfway might help a bit)
That should do it... usually, it's recommended to not chain vape for the first dozen pulls or so.
Now about these coils... Loved them at first.. lasted a few weeks, better taste than the originals that I used in my Melo 2. Then, they stopped working as well, found that lots of liquids would gum them up really fast due to all the sweeteners. I'd get about a week's worth, but my wife went through 3 of them in one week.
That's went I started taking them apart and rebuilding them.
28 gauge NI200, about 17 wraps, proper cotton, and they are better than anything out there.
Between the different brands of compatible coil cartridges, I love them, they are well built, easy to rebuild, the double wall to prevent overflow and create a suction to feed and balance the liquid flow is just fantastic. I bought a few more packs to have the shells more than the actual coils... so I'll use them up just to have the shells, which are better that the re-buildables that I've seen for this type of coils (and ends up a LOT cheaper).
