Question regarding the Bridgeless Atomizer

[Zeeque]

Hello!! My first post with ECF. I've been vaping for about 6 months, and now have been trying other vaping methods. I purchased a Bridgeless Atomizer to drip with. I have the Ego twist and Ego C Upgrade currently.
I dropped 3 drops on the bridgeless cup and tried to vape. It worked, but all my juice was gone. I dripped 3-4 drops down my drip tip and got a small burnt taste, so I removed tip and added 3 drops to cup again. All worked fine, but I looked at the atomizer and all my juice is gone.
Am I wrong to think I should get more than one vape off three drops, or is this how it's suppose to work? I stopped using it until I know I'm vaping correctly.
I have watched numerous videos on how this process works, but I feel I'm missing something. One video I watched, I swore I heard I needed some type of cone or other threaded item to keep more space between you and the e-juice. What is this item? Is it a cone or an extension?
Thanks!!

Sometimes it can take a while to break in your atomizer. HH.357 Cisco Spec Hybrid 510 Atomizer - Avid Vaper This video will walk you through the steps of breaking in and caring for your bridgeless atomizer. Even though you may not have this exact atomizer, most of the information will be useful to you. Most bridgeless atomizers have a stainless steel mesh surrounding the ceramic cup that will soak up a little juice but I still only drip about 3-4 drops at a time. About the only case where I'm able to drip more than that is with a drip shield. You should be able to pick one up pretty cheap. Probably around $6. This will let you drip a little more than usual because the juice that is overflow will be sucked back into the atomizer as you take a pull. A pretty handy accessory that every dripper should have. Also, take a couple pulls with out hitting the button, sometimes called a dry pull, once you don't hear the gurgling sound, it's time to drip a couple more drops. Dripping does tend to burn through juice faster than other atomizers but IMHO the flavor can't be beat. Hope this helps, don't forget to watch that video. It's has tons of good info.

I had a similar issue with a HH 357 bridgeless atomizer. 3-4 drops, 1 vape, then the next vape tastes burnt. If I add another 3-4 drops, I get one vape, then the next tastes burnt. Other atomizers I have (including a different bridgeless one) I get several vapes without any burning. Maybe just a bad atomizer? I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will chime in here. . .

Thanks! I'm going to watch video. I figured this may be the case that liquid burns quicker, but heck....I'll go thru a bottle quickly!
