What's Dripping??

[bosso20640]

I got my V3 the other day so I'm still trying to figure this whole world of E Cig's out. The V3 came with 5 cartridges (Presumably pre loaded) How long should a cart last? It also came with a little E juice. I'm not sure why it came with E juice?

Sometimes (quite a bit actually) there's a bit of a burnt taste, is this the V3 still working itself in? Should I use the E liquid and put couple of drops directly down the atomisers where the cartridge fits into and presumably not laying it flat might help?

Dripping is putting a few drops of liquid on the atomizer bridge. The burnt taste usually means that your cart is getting low, or that your fluid isn't wicking through the cart filler properly.

You should be fine to lay your PV on it's side, though if your battery has a hole in the center, you might think about keeping it battery-up.

Possible solution:

1. Remove the cartridge (cart) from the atomizer (atty), and make sure the polyester batting is wet and at the end of the cart closest to the atty.

The atty would have been shipped with a preservative on it that will taste terrible, so;
2. Blow through the hole in the bottom of the atty (battery end) a few times holding a paper towel in front of the cart end.

3. Replace the atty, drip 2 drops of liquid directly onto the bridge of the atty, replace the cart and vape on it 3-4 times as if you were trying to get a cigarette restarted that has almost died out.

4. Do the 2 drops & vape process 2-3 times to quickly burn off the preservative, drip 2 more drops onto the atty, and about 2-4 drops onto the batting of the cart. Reassemble once more and see if it vapes correctly without the bad taste.

EDIT: If this is a cartomizer (cart & atty combined), you will have to remove the batting (from the mouthpiece end) while you do the blowout/drip/vape part.
