With a few simple tricks, you can guarantee that your e-liquid will taste as it should.

Prima - Let the cotton soak up the e-liquid

Prime is an English vape term to allow the cotton inside the coil to have a chance to soak up the e-liquid, we strongly recommend that you always prime your coil when installing a new coil in your e-cig. Depending on which ecig you have, always wet the coil's cotton before you install the coil in its casing. When you have soaked the cotton properly, you can install the coil and then fill up with your e-liquid, we also recommend that you fill the liquid container to about 70-80%. If you fill in too much e-liquid, there is a risk that your vape does not have enough air space and is "drowned" in e-juice.

A few drops from your e-liquid are usually enough to wet the cotton, in the picture below you can see which places it is recommended that you wet. Once you have soaked the cotton, installed the coil and poured your e-juice into the liquid container and screwed everything on, we recommend that you inhale from the mouthpiece, without the vape on, this is to allow the e-liquid to penetrate deeper into the cotton and soak down the cotton even more. Repeat this several times then your e cig should be ready to use.

If you don't prime your coil before using your electronic cigarette, the risk is very high that you will burn the cotton in the coil and in turn you will get a burnt taste as the end result. If you do not have the opportunity to prime the coil, you can install the coil in the ecig and pour in your e-liquid and let the e-cig stand for at least 10-15 minutes, preferably even longer. It is important to be careful during the first puffs and not go on too hard at first, make sure the coil can accommodate the e-liquid before you start vaping properly.

Always use the correct wattage recommendation

For each coil, there is a recommendation on what watt you should vape on, for example between 20-30 watts, the coil works best and is expected to have the longest life, if you exceed the watt recommendation, the coil will have a shorter life and will run out faster and will result in the coil burning and experiencing a burnt taste, avoid this by always following the wattage recommendation on your coil. On most coils, it is written on the product which wattage is recommended, but with a little simple googling, you can quickly get an answer if you are unsure of which wattage you should vape at.

MTL Pods - Great? This is how we do it!

Today, many people use MTL machines where you can buy ready-made pods. These are very clever and have made it very easy to change the coil. Many who vape today have never changed a coil but have only used ready-made pods. A pod contains a tank with a built-in coil, so you change the entire unit. It could be a misunderstanding that you don't need to prime these as well, which is wrong. It is important that you also prime your coil here, even though the process is much simpler.

How do I prime my MTL pod?

How do I prime my MTL pod. The process is simpler than priming your DTL machine. If necessary, separate the pod from your vape. Then pour the e-liquid into the liquid container (pod) and inhale strongly from the mouthpiece without your vape running. This causes the cotton to absorb the e-liquid and become moist. Let the pod rest for a few minutes, then you're ready to vape with no burnt taste!
