Why don't attys ever come with directions?

Plenty of info available online, but it'd be nice if vendors included some info on best practices for using various attachments(clearos, carts, tanks, tips). Some verbiage on the invoice would be fine, or maybe a QR code sticker on the plastic bag most of them come in. A feature on the site that had a dropdown for compatibility with batteries when you're ordering would also be pretty cool

I realize a lot of vendors are fairly new, and that attys are always changing and improving, but I think it could help people not have to come here to find answers before purchasing, as well as not wasting money on attachments that aren't compatible with your setup.

Caveat emptor and all that, but if a vendor took these steps, they could quickly become a favorite for newbies IMO.

thoughts?

Hi and welcome! "Attys" refers to atomizers, not attachments ;) I guess that should be in the instructions too. Vendors probably don't include directions because they would incur the cost of producing them. And most product descriptions will note the thread size, so you will know what will fit on your battery.

Some attys come with pretty good instructions like HH.357 Video User Manual/Informational UPDATED - YouTube but including that video on paper would be pretty odd looking in the package...

Actually the instructions I have found included in the packaging with most vaping equipment makes me prefer the ones that are PDF's of video links on the vendors site.

I remember the first drip atty I ordered. When it came in it had a 510 thread on one end and was covered with a rubberized tubular cover with a hole in the end. I couldn't pull off the cover any way I tried. I didn't want to get out the pocket knife and cut it off in fear of ruining something I had never used before. I had ordered a separate drip tip and wanted to install it instead of the cover that came on it.

So, I emailed the vendor and related my issues. The reply was, "Yes, you have to screw it on to a battery to give yourself something to hold on to, then wiggle the black part while pulling and it will eventually come off!". Well, that worked, but a small sheet of paper with a diagram and a couple of sentences would have saved both of us some time and trouble.
