I always start off by screwing the base onto the battery and then sticking the atty head into it. you will want to line up the slots on the top of the atty head with the grooves on the rim of the base for an airy draw, rotate 90 degrees for a tighter draw.
Throw on your cone and then plug in your
tank. Get the
tank down as far as it will let you and then give it a nice pop until it is sitting flush. Give it a couple of priming draws (without igniting the coil) to pull the liquid into the atty and you should be good to go! Also make sure to take slow, consistent draws so you don't flood the atty or get dry burns. What I do to clean the attys is soak them in grain alcohol overnight and pop the wick plate off of the atty with a small hobby flat-head. Dry burn the coil a few times in short bursts and clean up the wick. Put it back together and it's like new. Any more questions or further explanation, feel free to ask. Welcome to the forums, and good luck BTW!
