i have the joye 510 empty cartridges vg vanilla 0mg, cappucino liquid 20 ml 6mg nicotine.

do i need to wash or disinfect anything? i've went through many fo the posts here, and some members say they vaped right out of the box, but i've heard people complain about headaches, and something about puffing a bunch of times without inhaling with new e-cigs. i get terrible migraines so mentions of headaches is a very sensitive issue for me!

also i have no idea about how to add the liquids, and it didn't come with any instruction manual :confused:

any help from you guys would be awesome. i'm really excited about this!:w00t:

I advise you watch UTube, just type in E-cigarette, and a bunch of kind folks will show you how. Oh Just blow the atty out, get rid of the primer.
It's easy. Have fun.

No.

You can only vape right out of the box if you have prefilled cartridges.

but i've heard people complain about headaches
As far as I know people only get headaches when their nicotine strength is too high for them.

and something about puffing a bunch of times without inhaling with new e-cigs
That's one way to get the primer out.
Another way is to just blow it out as suggested above.

You put as much juice in as the filler material in the cartridge will hold without pooling at the top of the filler material. If it pools at the top, just dab it with a paper towel or tissue.

The number of drops it can hold will depend on how big your cartridge is, which depends on your model. It also depends on how big the drops are, which depends on the dropper being used.

The problem is, if you are just putting drops right on top of the filler material that comes with the cartridge, it isn't going to sink to the bottom without a little help. You can use the straw modification, or you can use a toothpick or paper clip to push the filler aside a little bit so that it can breath while you are putting in the drops. Some people use a syringe or a needle tipped dropper bottle to get all the way down to the bottom of the cartridge.

And I have found that if you replace the stock filler material with blue foam, you can actually put the drops right in if you tilt the cartridge to the side while doing so, but that is probably a bit more than you want to bite off and chew right now.

I had the same questions myself a few days ago after I got my PV. I just filled a cart and took a few puffs without inhaling to clear the primer fluid from the atty. Worked ok. Still had some scratchy feeling in my throat and metallic taste at first, but after a day or two the atty broke in nicely and now my Sidesho vapes great. When the metallic taste/scratchiness in my throat returns, I know its time to check the juice in my cart. I've also gone to direct dripping with an empty(no inner cart/filler) cart which produces better flavor, and more vapor. Just have to carry around the dropper instead of a lighter.

Take your time with it, it takes a bit to adjust to vaping instead of dragging on a cig. Try sucking on it slowly, like drinking a milkshake. Then inhale after you have a nice mouthful of vapor. Seems to work better that way than taking a direct inhalation to the lungs IMHO. Good luck!
