another question. It is bad to run an atomizer dry? Will i ruin my atty if i run it without the cart to dry it out or clean it out?
You'll definately ruin an atty at 6v if you run it dry. You need to keep it wet. If you're starting out on a 6v mod, your learning curve is gonna be steep. They're touchy beasts if you don't know what you're doing. It's probably too late but if you didn't blow the primer fluid from your atty see if you can now. Just take it off and blow hard through it with a paper towel to catch any fluid that comes out. Then put it back on and add a few drops of juice to the bridge. Attach a drip tip or filled cart and give it a try again. It should taste better.
The cart that comes on new atty's isn't really a cart, it's just a cap. If you don't have cart's with filler in them you can use the cap as a drip tip. Just take it off the atty and drip juice onto the atty bridge then put the cap back on. When the flavor starts tasting a little burned, remove the cap and drip a few more drops. What kind of mod do you have and what's the resistance level of your atty?
At 6 volts I would forget the carts and just drip, even a HV atty will need lots of juice @ 6 volts. Good Luck
i got the prodigy V3.1 6volt mod with a 510 HV. Im using backwoods brew menthal. Tastes ....ty no matter what i do
You didn't say what you were vaping before the prodigy. Assuming it was a 3.7v set up realize that comparing that to the 6v is apples and oranges. I've got a 6v device and will occasionally 'take it for a spin' and have used it with both carts and attys. I've found that if you keep it wet and take shorter and more shallow drags that it will perform well. Definitely an acquired taste.
and if i clean a atomizer to use with a new juice, can i use water to washer out the atty/cap or do i need to use alcohol?
I don't think it has to do with the juice base. If it's tasting burned try taking really short hits, like 1/2 second. You didn't say what resistance rating those atty's have. Just because it's HV doesn't mean it's meant for 6v. If it's less than 3.5 ohms you're probably burning the juice at 6v.
Going from a KR8 to a 6 volt set up is like switching from ultralight beer to 30 year old scotch.
2 things
Some flavors taste burnt at HV, try another juice.
You have to drip, no cart mod can keep up with 6V juice consumption.

You COULD use water but it will take longer to dry. I would use Isopropyl alcohol. soak for a short while then blow out and let dry completely. After that, drip a few drops of juice making sure the atty is nice and moist. And as mentioned above try really short hits first.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Blake, HV vaping isn't like anything else. The attys burn hotter, so not every juice is going to taste good and no matter how much you try, carts are NOT going to work. HV vaping goes through juice too fast to keep up with them. You have to drip. You'll also need to pay attention to the atty and keep it wet. If you don't, then it will pop.
What made you switch from an 808 to 6v?
6v is a very hot vape and fries most juices.I think you can use the prodigy at 3.7 cant you?Try that with a LR atty.I think you will enjoy it more.It simulates 5v.Juices taste better at 5v than they do at 6v.

maybe 6volt isnt right for me or my juices dont work well. Im sticking with the kr8 until i figure out how to use my prodigy better
i might add way too much juice then have leaking then i take 2-3 hits before geting the burnt taste that tells me to add more juice. This isnt worth it
Take the atty off, blow it out and try again. Dripping takes a bit of practice to perfect. When you start out only add 3 drops to the atty. When the flavor changes and vapor production drops off then add only 2 more drops.
