My First Lesson: Priming the Atty

[FlossyG]

So.

Got my Riva 510...charged it for 8 hours, used it for 20 minutes. Charged again.
Dripped my juice into the polyfill...sucked away.

Ahhhhhh! Burnt nasty taste, is this normal?

Found a Youtube video (thanks Swampgirl) on how to get your Riva started, complete with the lesson on how to drip your fluid directly on the atomizer to get it primed. Ahhhhhh...good taste now!

Question: Why don't the manufacturers write this down in their little instruction manual? It seems to be a very important step?

So they can sell you more after you ruin a few. Not really, but there are so many ways they can't cover them all. The viscosity of your juice may be different than the same PG/VG mix they sell.

Doesn't matter...I can clean the burned tasting atty in some Denatured Ethanol and all will be right with the world.

I need to stock up on new attys anyway. You can never have enough I'm finding out.

As a fairly new vapor, my greatest purchases have been good cartomizers and a tank. Atomizers are nice for tasting new liquids, but I prefer the convenience of a couple resurrectors on the go, or a tank while sitting at home. That's the advice they really need to give you in the manual.
