Terrible primer taste!! WTF?
Can no one figure out how to get around this?? :evil:
Vapor production= Mushroon Cloud:D:D

Throat hit= Don't want a primer throat hit:mad:

Battery- semi-irrelevant at this point

flavor= metallic:evil:
manual switch= just a switch(will get used 2)

Seems promising, but, not that much more than my901...

Personally, I take a brand new atty when I get a couple of them, and drop thiem in a cup with some 151 to soak for about an hour. Then I blow them out with compressed air, drop a few drops of my liquid on them to re-prime, and away I go. I have had the primer experience, and it takes a good day of nasty vaping to get rid of it if you don't flush it first.

i have my manual batts and attis from ruyandirect too. blowed out with towel in the back ( of the atomizer :) ) and after one cart no more sense of the not too bad primer, i had much badder on my very 1st 801, something like cerosin.

btw, i have to ask ludo from janty what liquid they use now as a primer, i could use a bottle of that stuff.

I had a 510 Atty that worked great for about 3 weeks and THEN it started giving off a horrible taste. I put it aside at the time and switched to another.One day i looked in it and thought I saw a piece of "wick" or somthing in there that was semi burnt.I extracted it with some small tweezers and shes been fine since.I dont think it was a piece from a cart filling,but im not sure.

On topic,i havent had a 510 atty give me a horrible out of the box taste yet.But I only have 5 of them. All were from Janty or Widow.

You don't rinse with water after the 151? That seems like a bad idea to me.

Are we sure thats primer fluid and not oil residue from the manufacturing process? I used to haul parts and they were usually coated in oil from the machining process, like a WD40 type of oil. I've noticed a lot of stuff from china I have to wash it in the sink to get the oil off, I bought some feeler gauges the other day that were practically dripping with oil. I'm going to start washing out all my new attys from now on just thinking about that,
