I guess I am a total dork and need some help

[KimberlyM]

Ok, SO I recently received my Provari and have loved it! I had never tried dripping so I was just using my cartos - and it works great! However, the last time I was ordering some juices from Volcano I decided to throw in an High Resistance 3.0 atomizer. When it came in I was SO excited to try it. I put it on my Provari, added a drip shield, dripped 3 drops of juice on the little wire bridge (isn't that right?) topped it off with my drip tip and promptly experienced the worst vape of my life. All I can taste is a burnt flavor no matter what I do - it doesn't matter what voltage I set it at, I get one nasty ... burnt plastic flavor. I thought I had read how to drip correctly but this can't be right. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

Their might have been primer fluid in the atomizer. You blow it out by putting it in your mouth thread end. Plus 3 drops is not near enough for a fresh atty needs at least 7- 10. 3 ohm atomizer.

Yea, I'd flush the atty out with water or soak it in vodka then rinse it to get the primer fluid out before adding e-liquid. Then just give it a burn to dry the water off the wick till its dry. Do u have a sealed 510-510 adapter on with the drip shield (kinda needed to make it work on the 510)? Then like Dan Patrick said, u have to add at least 7 drops to fully saturate the bridge and wicking material, then go ahead and give her a vape. Once it's totally saturated you will only have to add 3 or so drops per vape but if u have the shield set up right u should be able to drip almost 10 with no problems as long as u don't mind a lil gurgle noise....I put 5-7 drops in each time I 'reload' and I'm using a de-bridged and de-wicked atty which holds onto a lot less juice than urs that still has that stuff I'm guessing

I would debridge the atty. There are videos on youtube that shows how to do it. It's very easy to do with a pair of tweezers.

 

[Dan Patrick]

At least just de wick it. I usually leave the bridge to catch splatter. It is the wick that carries all that yucky flavor.

Thank you all so much for your help! I am glad to know it was just me - I knew what I was tasting could NOT be right. I will give it a try.

So what did you end up doing and how did it work??

I'm wondering the same thing!

 

[KimberlyM]

I have been a little busy (it is one of those times at work) and haven't had a chance to watch the You Tube videos yet. I will get there - but it may be the weekend.

 

[KimberlyM]

WOW! Ok, here is what I did. I watched the you tube videos and then attemtped to de-bridge and wick my atty. I didn't think that bridge would ever come out. However, i finally got everything done. After that i tried out my new dripping set-up. All I can say is WOW - there is a ton of difference. This is awesome!!! Thank you all for the help!!!

Sounds cool , could you recommend (put up a link) video on how to "wick the atty" ..

I'm not sure what you mean . Thanks !

Kenzi,
There are several on You Tube. I found this one to be the one that helped me the most:
Removing The Bridge (mod) - YouTube

He also has a video on de-bridging the atty.

Oops... I put up the wrong link. Lets try this one:

while I've not tried to remove the bridge I've dewicked most of my attys that I used and it's easy and worked rather well. All you need it some needle nosed tweezers and good lighting LOL (and maybe a toothpick to hook and draw out the wick)
