Why does an atomizer need time to break in?

[Smo]

Sorry if this has been brought up before, I can't seem to find any relevant post and I am curious to see yours take on it.

Does anyone have any idea of why it usually takes a day of usage to bring an atomizer to smokin' vapin performance?

my guess would be annealing of the atomizer coil. a few heat ups and cool downs may increase the conductivity of the coil thus making it more efficient.

or :

when you draw on an ecig , that action also draws the liquid into the ceramic pot. On a new atomizer the wire mesh in the atomizer has no defined 'channels' for the liquid to pass through. After a days use of huffing and puffing , the wire mesh produces these 'channels' which allows liquid to flow better into the ceramic pot.

Sounds right but probably all cloak and daggers

The atomizer should be at peak performance when new--only an atomizer that was not properly primed enough at the factory would actually get better and then deteriorate--Be sure that the bridge has enough e-liquid soaked into the new atomizer before its first use. As for taste--the factory prime will give way to the e-liquid very rapidly---Sun

sun has it about right... it just needs a good prime.. some come from the factory without a good one.. they dont need to break in.. its just one of the many e smoking myths..
