Where's the outrage about primer?

[Frick]

My attys are made in China and I'm just a stone's throw away in South Korea and we get primer in our attys too.

Interesting. Thanks for that information.

Blow out the primer, vape on. No biggie.

If you're just blowing out the primer and vaping without a full evening (or even a full day) of nasty oil-burning taste, your attys don't have the same primer we're talking about.

Is primer toxic? Anyone know?

No one seems to know, but I can't consider it "no biggie" until we do.

blow it out, barely a trace left.

Do a 5 sec dry burn and blow on the atty.

Any of it left you still inhaling - less damage than the usual shyte we breathe walking the streests - no?

Ikenvape and Cisco attys do not have primer

So I love my ce2 when they work great but I'm utterly baffled people just put up with this so called 'primer' on atomizers and ce2's. Vendors keep selling parts with it and short of cleaning threads no one really questions it. There's no way this stuff is just PG or anything benign as I've read some claim.

I'm convinced it's remnants of the manufacturing processes which would be anything and everything from oil to coolant to glues/sealants

It's allowed to soak into the wick which is the main delivery for our vaping. Sure cleaning and dry burn get's it it off that main part of the wick, but does it get rid of everything? I had 1 wick that kept giving of the taste for 3-4 cleanings and dry burns. This most recent one I opened up had a clear ring of the stuff around the rubber seals. Most of the ce2, when removing the inner piece it usually has what looks like metal particulate around it, I've seen this on just about every one.

I'm baffled how stuff isn't cleaned properly at factories and shipped with a vape safe solution applied and no one really cares about this. It seems unacceptable to me as this could potentially be significantly worse for us than smoking.

Do any vendors who have their stuff built at the factories actually have any experience or knowledge what the so called primer is, or the manufacturing processes? Is there a cleaning step.

I'd like to get more info on what is used on your blank CE2 cartomizers. Every new CE2 carotmizers I've used give a burnt taste unless cleaned and dry burned, when doing dry burn the smell is really bad also.
It almost looks like machine or tooling oil like I see on metal parts or tools used either for cooling or to prevent rust.
Can you provide some detail on what this liquid is in new CE2 cartomizers?

The Liquid inside is minuscule , VG just to make easier the productions its. 0.02 % , so no reason to worry anything or to be suspicious all our goods have been tested and have certifications.

All CE2 Products are Pure , nothing inside that can give that kind of tastes , if you don’t like them you always can order the Edition 1 from other factories with cotton inside and glue and made in dirty placed , all our products are pure and very CLEAN , Only a very FEW US ECF members do unnecessary dry burn , all the rest of the world can use directly out of the box without to deal without any of things you mention here.

Our CE2 cartomizers are suppose to be used as Disposable, so you need to handle like that.

I didn't really expect anything else as an answer, so they say it's VG and I'm not sure what he means by .02% as there could be things lost in translation.

I thought about something else, the truth may very well be in the middle somewhere. Someone mentioned it smells like super glue, and if they put slight amount of VG for preservation and lubrication to get the rubber inside. Is it possible the glue is giving off fumes and mixing into the VG during the curing process.

Before I use an atty I usually de-wick it. Last night I started using a new atty and after I de-wicked it, I blew on it because I was worried about any primer fluid, but no liquid came out.

Am I okay with just de-wicking they atty without blowing primer out of the atty? Maybe the atty didn't have any primer.
