So im pretty new at the whole atty thing. Ive had an kr808 so ive never had an atty before this. I blew out the primer liquid till nothing came out and added the juice and tried to vape it. It tasted like primer terrible burnt nasty. ive seen things about boiling it but i was wondering what i could do with a new atty to get rid of the nasty burnt nasty taste. also if you could let me know the way to boil it too i would be awesome!!!

* You blow it out, out 2-3 drops of eliquid on it, vape that almost totally off without inhaling. Repeat all of that from *. Then repeat a second time and see how it tastes.

If you don;t have liquid then buy some eliquid because the other option is washing and drying the atty REALLY need eliquid to prime it before using it or you could damage it.

What they said! :)

I do the same, blow it out, 2-3 drops of ejuice & vape (but dont inhale), repeat, and then you should be good to go. Sometimes it takes a little longer. I've tried washing atty's and I don't think it makes much difference.

I dis agree, not 2-3 drops, flood that Atty and fill it up to the top of the bridge with the liquid your going to use in it while leaving a condom from a carto on the bottom of it. Let it sit like this for like 10-15 Min, this will ensure that your Atty is properly primed and soak the wick completely as well as the liquid sinking into your bridge a bit and get all over the internals of the Atty itself. Once this is done you can blow out that juice and it's now ready to vape.! This method is proven and works for breaking in an Atty. If you start vaping before it is primed properly and get a burnt wick it will never be the same with that dry burn on your wick. Try what I'm saying here with your next new Atty, you could try it with your current one but I'm thinking your wick is burnt or something is burnt in your Atty Chopsuey, but either way try what I'm telling you here and let me know how you make out !

If you've burnt some gunk onto the wick or mesh that can be a little hard to clean. I use a few drops of H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide). Alcohol also works fairly well. I always remove the wicking material from my attys because even if you don't gunk it up to start with, gunk will build up over time and makes the attys harder to clean. There's several utube vids on dewicking your atty if you decide to try it.

Wow ok i'm trying the first suggestion!

Also I'm Inclined to believe
Just vape it off. My atomizers last a lot longer if I don't clean them.
as, I have tried cleaning my atomizers as the veterens suggests and yeah they are never the same after cleaning!
