What am I doing wrong?!

[KalebK]

So I determined that my e cig IS in fact 510 threaded, so I went out yesterday and bought a 510 atomizer and drip tip because ive heard how much better the flavor, vapor and throat hit is supposed to be... Well I put the atomizer on my battery, put tye drip tip on and dripped 4 drops of my favorite 24mg juice (coffee flavor) into the drip tip and then I tryed to vape it and I got juice in my mouth (yuck). I dont know what im doing wrong and I'm extremely nervous about my battery getting juice onto it and then it will be ruined! Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks for reading!!!

Hello,
There is more to dripping than you would think. Can you tell us about what type of battery you have? If it is a manual(has a button to push) then it is sealed and juice cannot get 'into' the bat.
New attys usually are shipped with a primer fluid that needs to be blown out. Hold a tissue to the batt end and blow thru. That stuff is nasty. Attys usually take a couple of days to really get seasoned or broke in. .

That sometimes happens when your direct dripping or when your atomizer is flooded. Try blowing out the juice thru the bottom connection and then prime your atty with 4 drops of juice. Take 2 drags then load up another 2 drops and vape away.

Ok I will try that! I do have a manual battery, its an Omega 2 from Smart Smoke here in Spokane, WA. Thanks for the responses, I really appreciate it!!!

i take the drip tip off when dripping so the juice doesnt collect in the drip tip

Hey guys, I usually drip but I dont use a drip tip - would you reccomend it?

That kind of defeats the purpose doesn't it? You can always rinse and dry your drip tip every evening or so.

Makes dripping a little easier. Plus keeps contact with the carto aways from your face. sometimes the cartos can get hot and uncomfortably warm. but it is your choice.

There's a lot of cheap drip tips out there, and a lot of them have openings that are just plain too small; the consequence is that juice becomes trapped at the choke point and gets sucked back into your mouth.

There's none finer than this one, which was engineered with that specific problem in mind: Super T Manufacturing, Innovative manufacturer of electronic cigarette products.

One other thing: the innards of new atomizers are coated with a primer, put there to resist corrosion; it may do that, but it doesn't taste good if vaped. Be sure to blow a new atty out very forcibly before using.

Which end do you blow in, the side that attaches to the battery or the side that the drip tip goes in?

 

[PoliticallyIncorrect]

I blow through the drip tip side.

A lot of people go further than that, soaking the atty in IPA or vodka or everclear first. I've found a good blow-out to be adequate.

Thats funny I usually just vape it away - I dont inhale to my lungs just into my mouth and blow out - depending on where you buy the attys from kinda depends how it tastes.I have found though if I dont do this when I start a new atty it won't give me as much vapour - perhaps it's a little flooded... I always use standard 510 attys, they seem to give me the best performance.
