A couple of days ago I received a Screwdriver from Totally Wicked.
I opened up a sealed DSE901 atty, one that came with the kit, and smelled it. It kind of smelled like some dirty socks liquid I have had in the past. I blew out all the primer that I could, then loaded a cart with some good tasting juice, reprimed the atty with a couple of drops of good liquid and gave it a try. The primer that was left in the atty gave off the most awful taste I could imagine. It had a hint of menthol flavor to it, but was mostly what I would call rancid. Even being masked with good tasting juice, this primer was literally sickening. Trying to vape it out, and not inhale, this stuff made me feel queezie, and nausious.
I finally got it to clear, but not without first making me sick.
It has been close to a year since I picked up a 901, but of all the ones I have had in the past, I do not remember any of them ever tasting like this. The only other time I have experienced this was with a 4081 Super Mini, and it to came from TW.
Has any body else ever experienced this?
I am wondering if it is something that TW is doing, since the only two I ever had taste like this came from TW.
I have 6 more of these same DES901 attys from TW, but I am afraid to go through this again.
Does anybody know of a good simple was to get this yucky tasting primer cleaned out, to a point it doesn't make me sick?
I am thinking of soaking the others in some PG. Any thoughts?
I have since been using an adaptor and am running a Joye 510 on the Screwdriver.

The PG they use as a preservative was expired, and started to break down.
This is not limited to attys, flavours will do the same. You are going to have to trust me on that one, because very few vendors will admit to this.
Shelf life:
- VG 18-24 months
- PG 24 months
Wrt flavours, that is right from the mfr. the only one that states they have no shelf life is LorAnns which I find hard to believe when most state 18-24 months. This info is availabel from google or the mfrs.
