Bad Atty Out Of The Gate?

[Dripping_Jeeper]

Gear: EJOY eGo with LR atomizers, tapered metal drip tip.

Started using my eGo as quickly as i could get the package open today ...the first few drips i smoked through everything was fine, working as intended then all of a sudden i got this nasty burnt taste and while the cigg was still producing vapor, it burned my esophagus on the exhale, I couldn't get that taste to clear out of the atomizer and the atomizer had plenty of juice in it when it happened...swapped over to the second atomizer that came with it and no problem now for hours...was the first one just bad out of the gate? anybody have this happen? I did nothing different between the two atomizers, now i have a 5 pack of atomizers on the way and I hope this one holds out or im doomed =).

Did you blow out the primer? If not, you might try this, it is a real yucky flavor. If it didn't last a day, it might be bad. I would contact the vendor and let them know. I have had a few atties that were bad, but usually a vendor will replace something that didn't work right off the bat. Good luck. Have you tried cartos yet?

I've noticed the "primer" in new ego attys is pretty nasty. Some worst than others. Blow out the atty. Some of mine have taken a good number of draws without inhaling to clear it. Oops...beat me to it.

Thanks very much for the replies. Well i think I figured out what happened with the first atty. Ive noticed that the drip tip I am using while seeming ok when dripping PG. Its a whole different set of rules with VG. That stuff is thick and while some of it may have made it into the atty a lot of it stayed in the tip and I quite possibly burned up the atty. I found the "remove bridge mod" here on the forums and cleaned it up a little and it seems to work pretty good now. I have not tried any cartos yet. with the upfront money for the kit and some juice and then the money i spent on extra atty's and a pass through. Im going to work with this a little, re coup some cash and then start exploring other options. I welcome any and all tips and tricks as well as recommendations on products, different vaping accessories and places to purchase. so far ive used Liberty-Flights and Zeecigs.com for shops. The only thing im trying to perfect at this point is getting a grip on when to drip so i can avoid ...."that taste" hehe. Thanks again everyone =).
