I'm new to all this. I'm using my new clearomizer, on my ~30th puff now. Of the first 10, every other puff was horrible. Now I take 2 quick dry cigar puffs every couple big draws, and it works great. If I always draw really hard on it, I don't need to dry puff.
I guess this primes it or keeps the wick moist? I dunno but it's working great now.
edit: Just checked - the hit right after one long slow hit tastes like crap. Draw fast and it tastes great every time. If you do draw slow and/or your draw is really tight from your 510 connection, dry puff in between hits to keep it tasting good. This is working for me, hope it helps someone.
