| Because I've experienced this plastic taste and read that others experienced it as well in new atomizers, I am very curious...
Has anyone considered using a starter like what's used for pulling air through a hookah to pull until the plastic taste has been removed? Do these contraptions fit on an atomizer and would this work?
ie: when starting a hookah, sometimes a hookah bar will light the coal, put on top of the bowl, and start the hookah for you by using a sort of contraption (idk what it is though), which starts the bowl. It basically pulls the air through the hose in order to start the shisha without a person hyperventilating or passing out.
I would think something like this would work to eliminate the plastic taste, but the only place I know that might've done this was meridian hookah lounge in tampa and I've no idea what the contraption would be called. Air-sucker? lol. 
Well this is merely food for thought. I prefer atomizers but purely dislike any plastic taste.

| It's been my experience that one or two puffs is enough to heat an atty to the point of burning off whatever coating in on them. Often the taste seems to be from heating the filler material in the cartridge. Maybe a little more time too allow the juice to flow from the cartridge to the heater would help.
Once the cartridge has overheated, it's shot. The taste will probably never go away.

| That might explain it a bit better. I smoked one atomizer that was horrendous and the plastic taste never let up. The person that I was loaning it from at the time claimed he didn't taste it, but I couldn't seem to get over the taste. o_O The other atomizers didn't seem to have that problem (so it did seem faulty in my book).

Try blowing through and out from the top end towards the threaded end. You might also try putting a drop or two of e-juice in, let it sit a couple of seconds, and blow it clear again. This kind of flushes it out.
Now put in the e-juice you want to vaporize. | |

| Probably just wants to commit suicide with the PG.
Cats are attracted to it, and it kills them.
I hope ya'll don't think I was too blunt, but
Shock and Awe works.

In chapter 1, he talks about the fact that VG is particularly poisonous to cats.
Please be careful and give that kitty some Cosmic Catnip!
Cats like the good stuff too! (or better yet, get a plant from Petco; just don't plant it in your yard or you'll have every cat within 20 miles out there!) Attachment 3465

We can't grow catnip here in the winter (outside), but I had bought half a pound of the dry stuff (which is, literally, a huge amount), so she's got enough catnip to last her a lifetime. She doesn't seem affected by it at all yet (she might still be too young or not affected by catnip at all). Some cats aren't affected by catnip though...there's a gene for it and some don't have it. My other cats love the stuff.

Then don't engage with her at all. She'll settle down. | |

See, she was sick when we got her. I finally wanted her better so took her to the vet and she went from cuddly docile sneezy kitten to psychotic nut (Ok, there was a fat-kitten phase for a short 1 week period of time, but her hyperness seems to have worked off all the fat. I mean her stomach was about 4x the size of her head. it was so bad she didn't want her stomach touched). piggy kitten, really. Now she is aware that there's always food and stopped gorging, but won't stop attacking. She does cuddle up next to me when it's bedtime or when she's going to sleep. I don't typically engage her, but even my hair---she will jump on my back and cling just to play with my hair. claws dug into my back to keep her steady. She's psycho. certifiably psycho.
If anyone wants a kitten, lemme know!
