Warm/hot vape is my mission so I'm super anxious to get the open bottom stingray. Should be arriving tomorrow. I tried the Aurora again w/the included hardware and I'm not getting this squank thing down at all. Either I don't get enough juice in or flood it. May have to watch the vids again on it to get it down.

Give the stingray a few extra squanks too prime it, you can look into it and see the juice at the coil. Then hit it.
After that its been a small squeeze every 5 puffs
If you over do it, hold it upright and squeeze. It sucks extra juice back down.
For me the sweet spot isnt gurgly, but a slight flutter sound at first. Then smooth drag sound from then on

Stingray 510 Atomizer
To those of you using the Stingray...
I have two Auroras, two Stingrays. The stock attys work well, the Stingrays do not. What the hell am I doing wrong? They don't juice up properly, like they're jammed (they're not, I think, I can blow through them), and liquid pools in the well. There's little flavor or vapor when they're working (visibly wet, or even nearly flooded), which is hit and miss. Mostly miss. The Stingrays work fine straight up, on a direct connection, the Auroras work fine with the stock. Only when I combine the two does the system fall to pieces.
Does the Stingray require different treatment? I'm guessing it's my own idiocy, but thought I'd ask.

I noticed if the cup is full the performance is weak, dont put that much juice in them. Primer puff without firing before hitting it to pull juice up to the cup thats already in the base. Try that.
The stock heads work pretty well. I like the stingray, but i still not sure if i like the warmness of the 1.5 ohm stingray

I so wanted this to be my vaping bliss device. Maybe I need more practice which I will do. But, I taste plastic and over all odd/off taste with my Aurora BFT
I'd try the Surge Tank but for that price, I'd just get a reg bottom feeder! That price is insane!!!!
AngiBe--Nice to know that I'm not imagining the plastic taste. I was looking forward to a drip on the go device--you shouldn't drip and drive! I like the ease use with the Aurora but really don't like the slightly off taste it gives, esp. with more subtle juices like my fave Ahlusion Boba Tea.
I hear ya. I gave it up for now and going to try it again maybe this weekend. Going to completely clean it out and see if I can get rid of the plastic taste. I know it's the Aurora itself since I did use the Stingray on it and was getting the same odd flavor. I'm thinking its the small plastic bottle that's in it. Not sure.
I'm still using mine--got it full of Boba Tea right now. I really want this tank to work. I do think it's the plastic bottle. I don't get a burning plastic taste but more of a slight undertone of what a mild plastic smells like (if this makes sense). Not a chemical or heavy rubber smell, maybe a latex glove??? I primarily vape Ahlusion juices and don't want anything to mar their inherent greatness! I think if I was vaping some in your face juice, I wouldn't notice it as much. In addition to the Aurora, I've vaped Boba Tea in a Kanger Mini Protank, my dripping atty, a clearo and a cartomizer. I've tried all of these on my eGo VV and my MVP 2.0 and don't get the off taste except with the Aurora...
Same here I hate to say-I've used several diff tanks, carto tank, dripping atty..all taste normal except for the Aurora. And the taste u describe is exactly the same for me. It's not unvapeable plastic taste, but just ruins the juice a little when I taste it.
Maybe after I clean it and try again, I will really pay attention to the volts I use. I wonder if higher volts heats the plastic too much? I don't know

I have four Auroras and vaped the two I gave to my sister and daughter to make sure they were working OK. I didn't detect any plastic taste with any of them and neither do my sister nor daughter. I wonder if one of the Aurora's silicone seals got burnt?

HHMMM...very good point. I will know more this weekend when I give it another shot. I bet that could be it, but hoping not.
Hi gang. Just finished catching up on this thread. Don't have an Aurora yet but I'm considering it. Want the true flavor of dripping on the go. AngiBe -- what's the latest? Have you guys solved the plastic taste issue? I think if I have to get replacement atties from a separate vendor, it's YARH (yet another rabbit hole) I don't want to travel down!
If I get lucky like peraspera, I'll be in business.

You don't need the tube if you run it with a 306 drip tip. Vaping it as we speak, quite satisfied with flavor & vapor production of the little 306! The draw is relatively tight but not too terrible, I'm ok with it.
I pulled the trigger last week. It still hasn't arrived but i'm curious to see how it works. I kept looking at it and I finally thought, oh what the heck. It seems like it could be a cool gadget.

Ugh now course I can't find the purple in stock...maybe it's a sign..
