A nervous newbie named Kim

Hi, I'm Kim and I'm new to everything. I just received my new 510 PCC Kit from Mad Vapes. I have charged the PCC, and now I'm charging the e-cig in the PCC. I put 10 drops of e-juice in the cartridge. I'm a little nervous... Any advise for me? It would be greatly appriciated.

Welcome. The hard part is over. Start using, and if you don't like it, ask around here for some insight on what it is you don't like. Many people are willing to give their opinions when it comes to which devices or liquids they use. But ultimately its gonna be up to you. Buying a rig that works for you is kinda like buying a car. Everybody has different prefrences, the trick is to find what works best for you. If you have any questions, ask me.... Enjoy, and welcome to longer lifespan...

Welcome to vaping! I do not know how much experience you have yet so I will cover a few things that a newbie should know.
1. You may have a bad taste at first. This is the primer fluid in the atomizer. It will go away after a few minutes of vaping. To help speed the process, drip 2 or 3 drops of the eliquid you filled your cart with directly into the atomizer before you put your cart on to start vaping. You may get a gurgling sound. This means it is flooded. If juice is not dripping down the side of the battery you can just vape through it. The other thing you can do is to deflood the atty.
2. Clearing a flooded atty. Take just the atomizer and a paper towel or napkin. Hold the napkin up to the threaded end and blow into the end that the cart plugs into. You should get juice on the towel. Wipe up any juice on the out side and the threads, re assemble the e cigg and vape again. If you only have fiant gurgles it should be fine.
3. If the atty gets really hot, let it cool for a bit before you continue vaping. You do not want to pop your atty. Keep it WET.
4. If vapor production is trailing off, check in this order. Make sure there is juice in your cart. Do not be affraid to add a few drops or top off the cart. Next, if there is plenty of juice, try a freshly charged battery. The standard 510 battery has a notoriously short run time. Lastly, if you have plenty of juice and a fresh battery, it may be flooded. Try the deflooding procedure from #2.

Don't worry, you will get the hang of it. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it will be second nature soon. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.
