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 !
