Whether you’re using a closed pod system, refillable pod with built-in coils, or refillable pod with replaceable coils, understanding how to prime your device is key to getting the best performance and lifespan out of your prescription vape. Each system has its own advantages:

• Closed pod systems come pre-filled with e-liquid, offering simplicity and convenience since you don’t need to refill or replace coils. Just insert and vape.
• Refillable pods with built-in coils allow you to refill the e-liquid, but the coil is non-replaceable. Once the coil is burnt or worn, the entire pod must be replaced.
• Refillable pods with replaceable coils offer more flexibility. You can refill the pod and replace the coil when necessary, making them cost-effective in the long run.

Regardless of which system you're using, proper priming of your coils or pods is crucial. This process ensures your vape is working at its best and prevents issues like burnt hits or reduced pod life.

What is Priming?

Priming involves soaking the cotton in the coil with e-liquid before you begin vaping. This is particularly important for new, unused coils or pods, as it ensures the cotton is fully saturated, preventing dry hits or damage to your device.

Why is Priming Important?

Skipping the priming process can lead to "dry hits," which occur when the coil's cotton isn't fully soaked. This can result in a harsh, burnt taste and may damage the coil immediately, shortening its life and requiring replacement. Proper priming helps you avoid these issues, ensuring a smooth, flavorful vape and extending the life of your pods or coils.

How to Prime a New Refillable Pod for Your Pharmacy Vape

1. Remove any seals or stickers from the bottom of the pod (if applicable).
2. Remove the mouthpiece or any rubber plugs on the side or bottom of the pod.
3. Fill the pod with your e-liquid of choice.
4. Replace the mouthpiece or plug once the pod is full.
5. Let the pod sit for five to ten minutes to ensure the liquid saturates the coil completely.
6. Attach the pod to your vape device, and you're ready to vape.

If your device has adjustable wattage, check that your settings match the coil's recommended wattage range, which can be found on the packaging or product description.

How to Prime a New Coil in a Refillable Pod

1. Drip 4-5 drops of e-liquid directly into the coil's center to saturate the cotton.
2. Install the coil into the pod or tank.
3. Fill the pod or tank with e-liquid.
4. Allow the pod or tank to sit for five to ten minutes to let the coil fully absorb the liquid.
5. Attach the pod or tank to your vape device, and you're ready to vape.

As with Refillable pods, it’s important to make sure the wattage settings on your device are appropriate for the coil you're using.
