do you guys do primer puffs?

[vonishere]

when you first fill up your tank, do you guys do a few primer puffs? if you guys do, whats the point of doing it?

The point is to get more eliquid to the wicks and hopefully help avoid dry hits. If it is a new coil, or a freshly cleaned coil, I do maybe 2 or 2 primer puffs. Otherwise, no, I do not do primer puffs.

If I've put in a new coil or rewicked, most definately. If it's just a refill, no.

What BigCatDaddy said^^ When I rebuild I use cotton wicks so I will put a little juice on the cotton before installing the chimney. If just refilling, no priming, just load and go!

Depends on the tank, if its a top coil or bottom coil, or a new coil and wick. It it's a RBA I do primer puffs on a new build, and same with top coils. The only bottom coil tanks I do primer puffs on is a nautilus or a kayfun if I top fill it.

Primer is bad for you. Stick to e-cigs imo.

I prime on new or cleaned coils to get the juice moving in the right direction.

For me it's just habit. When I'm not thinking about it, I find myself doing a primer puff every so often. It's hard to break a 20+ year habit.
