LOL DC!

It is a PG liquid or e-liquid. Totally fine. If you use the Google search at the bottom of the page you probably can find more threads about this very thing.

I'm thinking by your previous posts and your new PS passthrough that you are having more burned nasty flavor from higher voltage that than primer. Keep the liquid flowin!! I have 3 of those and they suck up e-liquid fast. Great device.

Lately, all my new atomizers don't have much of a primer taste to them at all. Six months ago, they were terrible (some 801s came with a bad pineapple flavored liquid that I thought I'd never get vaped out of the attys!). All of my 510 attys have been fine. If you drip your flavored liquid on the bridge to get it good and saturated with other flavor, you can usually vape off any primer fairly quickly.

I've rinsed mine with PGA too (Use Everclear purchased from the grocery store liquor section). It's fast and evaporates dry quickly (no water rinse necessary). I just reprime really well, let the atty sit for 5 minutes to soak in and vape away. Wish I had known about PGA with that pineapple tasting bunch, GAH! Haven't had a bad primer taste in a new atty in ages though so never bother with it anymore.

Cassavetes - I think too many noobs try the dry burn with no clue what they're doing, and burn the string wicking in their attys (they have no idea how atomizers are constructed, or that the wicking is even in there under the bridge in a 510) which is why we hear them crying about burned taste in their attys.

I never recommend that anyone do dry burns for any reason. If it was a good idea, I'd think the manufacturers would be telling us to do it. They do recommend alcohol to clean attys.
