Did I find a trick?

Ive heard about the all important primer puff. Did I misunderstand, or find the best way to do a primer puff? I thought (and may be right) the primer puff was a small hit you take right before you take your actual hit to prime the atomizer. Try blowing for the prime instead! It pushs some of the juice down into the atomizer and has been giving me at least 25% more vapour on every one of my hits!!

Just watch out. By blowing into the cartridge, you might be forcing liquid through the atomizer and heating coil enclosure into your battery.

This will burn them out, and is a classic no-no.

It is very quick (1/4 of a second) blow so hopefully that wont happen lol. I assume you would have just as much risk of burning out your atomizer with not enough fluid? : /
Edit: One sign that I can tell it adds a lot more vapour is it adds the crackling sound, which from what I heard is a good sign the atomize is vapin away. Maybe this would only be neccasary when the sound goes away (which could mean it isnt vaporizing the amount of juice it could be).

I'm just telling you to beware. I'm not saying don't do it.

When I feel like my atomizer might be getting dry, I put a drop into the atomizer, and continue using a primer puff (breathing in) as usual.

Next time when you feel its getting dry, try the quick blow. Maybe it'll give you some extra time before you have to refill! I think if this was done on a regular, moderate basis, it could bring up a lot of the juice people talk about getting trapped on the underside of the sponge. As you said, it may be risky if not done properly but you should give it a try and lmk what you think ;)

I've been doing this for a little while, and I've tried a slight breath into the cartridge, it helped a little, but, in the end, using that method isn't really worth the risk you might take with your batteries. This is just my opinion, though. Take it however you will. If blowing into your cartridges blows your skirt up, have at it.

I don't worry about my batteries when dripping, because I only do it when I'm using my mod, so I don't have a conventional battery setup. I'm using a Magnum, so that issue is null.
