New atties should be either blown out or rinsed in hot water to get the primer out of them. If you blow them out, just blow through the open end and out the threaded end into a napkin or tissue. Do this until nothing more comes out of the threaded end. If you rinse in hot water make sure that they're dry before you use them. They don't work well when they're still wet.
I usually just give my atties a 15 minute soak in 91% Isopropyl Alcohol once a week or so and let them dry overnight. Easy and cheap.
