Questions about new kgo

[MMA1985]

Hi everyone,
I received my kgo this weekend, this PV is really nice I ordered it from Sweet-vapes. I ordered 2 atomizers with it along with some cartomizers at different resistances but only one atomizer came so when I told Dayna at Sweet-vapes she said shes going to send me 2 more, so that was cool of her. Okay I have a couple of questions. First, am I supposed to screw in the cartomizer all the way until it can't turn anymore, especially the atomizer I have to tighten it a lot before it stops but I'm worried it might ruin the battery? With the cartomizers the draw is tight when I screw it in all the way but when I leave it unscrewed and a bit loose the draw is perfect? The other question I have is about my atomizer, I ordered unbridged atomizers and have done a lot of research and looked at videos on how to drip but can't get it right. I blew out the primer fluid and then put 2 -3 drops, although some people say maybe 1 or 2, DIRECTLY on the coil, blow on it a bit and then take a drag and I have to hold the button down for a long time and only get minimal vapor and hardly any flavor, the next drag or the 3rd is usually a very harsh one that tastes like metal which I assume means its time to refill. Then I heard you need to prime it, so I blew out all remaining liquid, dropped about 5 drops in there, on the coil and to the side, and left it for a minute. I tried it again and same thing. Could someone please explain how to use these debridged atomizers, I really want to get into dripping because I just can't afford to use a cartomizer just to try a flavor.

Thanks!

Add more drops. Generally after priming you then add the 3-4 drops you'll actually be vaping. Add more drops as soon as any hint of that harsh taste comes back.

There's no law saying you have to torque down the carto. They vary sometimes, so you might have to leave one a little looser than the other to get the same airflow. You won't ruin the battery by tightening it unless you're using pliers. The shell of the atty will separate from the base before it gets so tight that it hurts the battery connector.

Don't drip down the side of the atty like you do with a carto. Drip straight onto the coil. A few drops to get it primed and a few drops to vape.

So do I prime each time or only once? And do the drops have to be DIRECTLY on the coil because its difficult to be precise sometimes. When priming do I also drip directly onto the coil? Also will the atty be destroyed faster if it fires without any juice on it?

 

[imsoenthused]

Prime the first time. Doesn't have to be right on it. When priming yes you do it the same way. Lastly, yes dry burning an atomizer burns it up faster, but it's also something most of us do occasionally when cleaning them, to burn off the built up gunk.

Okay tried this and still no luck. Very little vapor comes out, after the first drag atomizer becomes very hot. Is it just a bad atomizer?

 

[sailorman]

It's possible. Atomizers are hit or miss. Duds are not unheard of. They will get hot though. That's why they have drip tips.

Okay so it was the atomizer because I just got my order in today of some juices and an atomizer from BWB and I got TONS of vapor and flavor. I'm not really mad about the busted atomizer from sweet-vapes because shes sending me 2 more but for future reference will vendors usually replace broken atomizers? Because if the ones she sends me are also busted then I might get a little upset. Also is bridged or debridged better? Because I think the one I got from BWB is bridged but it works great and his flavors are amazing, I am trying RY4, I'm sure it needs to steep but I don't have the patience for that at the moment.

edit: RY4 is from highbrow NOT BWB, atomizer is from there though, got vendors mixed up since both came today
