Why all the primer in new atomizers

[gary777]

Why all the primer in new atomizers, at least in the eGot type-B's, If they came dry you would just have to wet the wick with a few drops a liquid and your primed and good to go, no?

I don't know. my 1st experience with an atty was awful tasted like lawn fertilizer!

I soak mine in Vodka then blow them out before I use them.

they put the primer in so you can store it without it breaking down. which to me is pointless cause when i get an atty first thing i do is vape on it. The only need for all that primer is if your storing it for very long periods of time

VK has nominal 2.2Ω, Joye 510 atties that have absolutely no primer taste to them when you first fire them up, and they're running them for a fairly decent price for a box of 10. All of mine tested-out at 2.6Ω, broke-in almost instantly, and produce very good vapor volume without any off-taste or burning at 6 Volts.

HTH

...which means it may have already been stored for a long period of time, i.e., in a warehouse.

I don't know what there really is to break down, insulation around the coil, the coil it self, the wick?

Rust...they are metal. The primer prevents the rust and such things as mold or other nasty "kritters" that can get in there.

I don't understand why they have to use a specific primer. I mean, wouldn't a bit of VG be just as good? I bought some atties from GoodProphets and the primer in them was so nasty I don't really want to use the ones I still have...and there was so much of the stuff it made pools in the plastic wrap they came it.

Everclear soak will take it out...blow it out first as best you can then soak for about an hour swishing it around a few times.
