What actually is the primer on a new atomiser?

[Boomer]

Hey guys,

I am not sure if this has been discussed already before, but what is the fluid that is on an atomiser when it gets shipped, we all know that taste we get when we first start using a fresh one.

And now just after putting on a new one i take a few puffs and have a headache coming on, this may be coincidence as i never have before but im still interested in finding out just what it is we are vapeing when we start on a new atomiser.

Cheers Lee.

From what I've read, it's just juice something like the RY4 or something, but I don't know if that's fact.

 

[Figurehead]

I'm pretty sure it's got some dog ... mixed into it somewhere.

It's actually half dog ... and half monkey nuts.

Don't insult RY4 by categorizing it as primer fluid! Primer is NASTAY!

 

[Nuck]

I'm pretty sure it's better not knowing... but I bet somewhere out there is a Chinese factory worker, vapin an ecig with an evil grin on his face.

The Ruyan patient application says that the atomizer is coated with PG as a primer-----so I would assume that all the manufactures do the same and it is in fact straight PG-----Sun

Actualy, we shouldn't be insulting dog ... and monkey nuts by categorizing it as primer fluid! LOL!

Wow this thread erupted haha, i posted that question came back in like 10 mins and all these replys lol.

Well im quite happy with a PG / RY4 / Dogass mix hehe, as long as it's not something used in the manufacture process that we shouldn't be vapeing.

Cheers Guys Lee.

Dog ... and monkey nuts....that is why I love this forum.

I just got my kit the other day. I took a few puffs to get the gunk off of the atomizer. I then filled my first cart with RY4. With the exception of the metalic aftertaste I thought it tasted just like the RY4 juice.

 

[Hardpack]

The first time I vaped I didn't know anything about any primer coating. It tasted something familiar to my dental visits. I had a bad headache for two days. IMO very bad stuff.

 

[Cylore]

The first time I vaped I didn't know about the primer and that first hit was like "OMG this tastes like ..., how could those people on the forum say this is better than analogs?!?!" I dunno what the stuff is, but it's pretty nasty - I clean all of my new atomizers before use now.

My first taste of primer elicited a "What the Smeg?!" reaction. I'm with Nuck, I really, really don't want to know what it is.

Could put me off e-cigs for life!

NB--Again if you look at the patient applications submitted by Ruyan, they state that the primer fluid is PG. ---Sun

That's all well and good, but I have a gallon of Pure PG and I've vaped plenty straight, and it doesn't taste at all like the priming fluid for a dse901 or the RN type.

Also, if you blow some out, it is a non-clear color. It might be mostly PG (and I'd assume it is since it makes vapor), but there is something else that gives it the nasty flavor, since PG tastes slightly sweet but fairly neutral on it's own.

The primer probably is either pure PG or, sometimes, a juice.

However, even though in a sealed bag, the primer will oxidise and/or degrade over the weeks before first use. The badness of taste corresponding to how long the primer has been in place.

 

[LaceyUnderall]

To me, the flavor is almost a bad peppery taste.

One thing you can do is with the new atty, take off the mouthpiece, put the LED in your mouth and push air up through the battery and into the atty. This activates the atty and burns off whatever it is on there, (well, most of it anyways) which keeps you from direct inhalation.

This is also IMHO one of the best ways to clean your atty when it is needed.

More than likely they are manufacturing oils that keep the parts from rusting. On the internet, there are many sites that state the coils are being destroyed because people are not... "Blow the coil to remove package oils, or damage comes to coil."

I am sure there are cooling oils on there also, which may be the same thing.

The high-speed blade that cuts the steel-wool stuff, requires constant cooling with machine oil. I assume it travels through the wick, onto the coil after it is assembled.

Flush all new atomizers with alcohol and then with water. Allow the atomizer to dry before use. That is not safe to smoke, if it is NOT PG. What is in a patent, and what comes from production, are two separate things. I don't believe blowing your coil will sufficiently remove oil from the surface, only globs of oil from the holes.

Remember, not all of these are real, made by the manufacture that invented them. Ruyan has already sued manufactures for imitating his patent, and selling them cheaper. Unless it is clearly identified as a Ruyan, with a logo on all parts of the device and charger, and it is able to be registered... then it is a knock-off.

Don't assume that some other manufacture who has illegally copied another persons patent, half-way across the large country of china... is following the same standards. That is like expecting a drug-dealer to sell you medical grade ......, not horse-laxatives that are marked as .......

There are no Chinese manufactures that have rights to manufacture Ruyan, other than the company which is in Hong-Kong.

I think you're on the money there. I've always thought it tasted like Vaseline. Not that I've ever... ;-)
