Just starting out... any tips or hints?

[In_Fidel]

I've been reviewing this site for the past week, looking around and trying to find out all the info I can for e-cigs. I'm a newbie, but I fell I made a good decision buying a Joye 510 kit, 5 Joye 510 Blank Cartridges, 1 bottle of Double Mint Liquid [ Strength:24mg X High], and 1 bottle of Hilton Reserve Liquid [ Strength:36mg XX High] at litecig.com from Shawn. All I've heard is great things about his site and am looking forward to recieving my kit from him!

I just have a couple of questions once my kit arrives. Is there anything I should first start out doing, as in the best to break in my atomizer or anything else that I should be doing?

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

Congrats! Do what they said above and maybe put a drop of juice on the atty bridge. It helps take away any bad taste you may get from the primer and add to the TH and vapor. Enjoy vaping!

Thanks everyone for helping. That was the one thing I wasn't sure about with the attys and the primer. I've heard that it can taste pretty bad when you first use it. Is there a certain way to get the primer off, though?

I also purchased the Joye 510 kit about 2 weeks ago. The 510 works great! I'm glad I found this forum before I went out and purchased one without all the info I received here. When you receive your kit, your should be all ready to go right way. Both of my batteries where almost charged to the max from the manufacture. However, I charged one anyways while I played with the other one. (kit w/2 batteries, and atomizer) I tried the carts that came with the juice 1st, then I tried dripping. I didn't really do much to prime the atomizer. I just started sucking! I did notice a couple bad hits, but at that time, I didn't know any better because I was so new to e-cigs. I wasn't bad. I did hear that once your battery is charged, take it off the charger, don't leave it on the charger for long period of times. It only takes about 30min to 1 hour to charge. I have never had one go totally dead on me.

I am really big on the Lipton "Pyramid" Tea Bag for refilling my carts with my juice! I have found that it seems like a "cleaner hit". Plus, just keep all your carts after they're spent, and re-pack them with the tea bags. Only $1.99 for a box of 20 and you should be able to use 1 bag for 2 carts. I went to the store with the "red bulls-eye" for a logo. Easy to find! I hope this helps you!

I wouldn't recommend cleaning it right off the bat.... To get the primer off, I blow, and then attach the atty to a manual bat, and hold while puffing (only into the mouth) then immediately blowing out. About 8 or so good puffs and you'll see the vapor diminish. Drop a couple onto the bridge; best way I recommend to avoid flooding is get a drop at the tip of your dropper and touch it to the bridge, and wait for it to soak in; and repeat. After a couple rounds of vape till dry and drip/vape till dry, and you should have all the primer gone.

If you blow out the atty you should get most of the primer out. Just blow on the connecter end.

Okay, now I gotcha. Thanks!

Looks like you've gotten the good advice you need and picked a great vendor to start with so I'll just say welcome to ECF and vaping and good luck to ya.

In_fidel, you may find the juices you got are too strong for you, and you may need to cut them. I would get some VG for this. I get mine at Whole Foods, heritage brand. 24 mg is too high for me, but you may be ok with it.

Consider also getting a PCC charging case for charging batts on the go, and a USB passthough, for vaping on the computer.

Welcome, and happy vaping! You picked a good one for your first PV!

Welcome to the forum In_fidel! Sounds like you got great advice so I would just like to wish you luck and let us hear from you on your progress! Happy Vaping!

Follow all the other posters ideas and welcome to ECF. As far as after a few days of vaping, i would buy a bottle of Everclear(almost 100% booze) from the liquor store and soak my attys in that...keeps them nice and clean. My two cents.
