Yes, I prime by putting a drop down the hole and letting it sit for a few minutes, then taking few NO power dry puffs to prime the wicks some more. BUT condition the new coils by starting at your mods lowest setting and do several puffs, then going up 0.3watts at a time, puffing 3-5 times at each interval till you are at about 8-9watts. over 13 watts and you are getting into burn territory. If you start at high wattage, even if it tastes fine, you can not do this conditioning, its too late.
