I thought you only had to "prime" an atty the first time you opened it up to use it from a "new" status...aparently I was wrong?

I have discovered that the wick dries out over night/when not using the device for 8 plus hours and that it must be re-wet again before using...at least this is what I'm assuming or figuring out?

This morning I went to vape from the same atty I was vapin with last night and once again I was getting massive throat burn. Then I thought well hum...maybe the wick re-dries itself when not in use for a while, so I re-soaked it with about 5 drops, let it sit for 15 minutes or so and then went to use it and it's been fine all day long!

Have I finally figured it out or what?

I just assumed that once a wick was primed it was primed for life of the atty. I never assumed that they could dry out again.

well tried the priming for 15 min thing and was still getting that burnt taste from a dry attie (100% vg)....even though it does go away...its really annoying to have to experience that the first few vapes. plus the burnt taste lingers in your throat and ruins your tastebuds for a bit

but i found a solution! only works if you have a bottom feeder though. i jus noticed that i never ever experience the throat burn thing when using my REO, which is a bottom feeder. so now everytime im switching to an attie thats been dry for a while or for my first vape of the day...ill jus suck the juice up through my bottom feeder, which is guranteed to get the bottom coils wet...then switch the atty to whatever dripping PV i feel like using for the day! im a genious -.- lol...you dont know how long this has been bugging me ;T
