Ok, so I got a 510 with a mega battery kit, and I recently bought a "Sit and Go" USB Pass through.
Problem is I'm going through atomizers left and right. I'm lucky if they last half a month. I've tested one of em with a multi-meter and its running at about 3 Ohms. It isn't gurgling or leaking but it seems to just be spraying juice into my mouth. If I blow on it, it shoot out vapor, but whem I inhale almost nothing comes out.

I just opened up my last brand new atty and I'm noticing that the old ones have a really, really hard draw on em.

Also why the heck do they prime new atomizers with Skunk flavored E-juice >.<

Dunno what you are doing wrong, hard draw probably means a build up of crud blocking air flow, I sometimes take a cheap mild flavor or unflavored liquid and soak and blow out any attys that are a hard draw (for 901 or 510) usually end up with nasty looking dried up dark bits coming out of it, and it improves the draw somewhat. They are pretty much disposable tho so if they last a week you are doing good any more then that is a bonus. Good luck with it.

I know that was probably a joke, but most attys are just 'primed' with straight PG/VG. The problem is that if the PG/VG sits too long on the atty, it starts to take on a metallic, skunky flavor. So any attys that have been in stock for too long (how long? I don't know, even a few weeks seems to do it) have a nasty taste to them. the only option is to blow it out as good as possible, and/or to just vape through the horrible-ness. It doesn't last too, too long...

Hello, and yes about the bad taste in a new atty...If I have one like that, I first try a couple of drops on the atty...Then try it again if it doesn't taste better...After about 2 times, I just run the atty under hot water for about 20-30 seconds, blow out the water the best I can,,,then add a few drops again....This usually works for me...for normal attys...Again, I have an Ego, and my 510 attys don't last long for me....About 2-3 weeks for a normal atty and 7-10 days for a LR atty....So I shop around and when there is a great deal out their,,,I order 20 attys at a time...Just to be safe...
Enjoy the Adventure...
