Finally got my Riva in the mail today and it is charging right now, booklet says has to charge for 8 hours even if the light turns green before that. So, the attys are greasy and I'm guessing that's the primer I've heard people talk about. Whats the quickest and easiest way to clean that out of there so I can use it this evening?
Got my Riva, atty greasy?

You can just blow in from the battery side into a paper towel. Keep in mind that you have to blow pretty hard quite a few times before all of the primer is out.
Soak in white vinegar for 20 minutes. The acid will eat it out of the atty but it won't hurt the atty. Rinse in hot water good. Blow it out really hard. Add a few drops to the bridge and vape away. This also works good to get rid of those lingering juices that are very strong (cinnamon for example).
hmmmm, I didn't give that oily stuff much thought, I just wiped it off, dripped on the atty and vaped... Knowing this now I'll clean the next one I open. Thanks for the Q&As.
I might have done the same but that stuff was like motor oil and I didn't even want to know how it tasted, had a few hours before the Riva charged so I figured I'd ask!
I got some atties from LF a few weeks ago and they were also extremely greasy/oily with primer. I tried the isopropyl alcohol drip clean, but that didn't take away the god awful taste left behind. Glad to hear about vinegar, but I can't stand the smell of it. Maybe I can just move the soak process outside then wash them in the sink.
I use a Rubbermaid TakeAlong Twist & Seal bowl for my Iso Alc soaks. The lid keeps the smell contained and prevents spills. Just a thought...
