Cekte's Review of the JOYE510 personal vaporizer

[cekte]

Thank you for the kind words CellMeister. Glad you enjoyed. Many more to come.

Great review !! I'm sure we can all agree that this review can also be applied to Dura . I'm having the same exactly issues with my. Jeff at Jantyusa sent me an extra unit on till he get's the Dura C in stock , than will exchange it free of charge.

I still use the same atomizer it has been over a month. It does get hot sometimes and boil's the liquid but still going like an Energizer Bunny

Thank you Val. Indeed these are one and the same units to my knowledge. OEM and ODM 'designs' aside. Mine was even from a newer production run, according to my 'QA Pass' inspection card. Unfortunate, because it has serious potential. Manufacturer's revisions should prove to be very interesting.

I just got a 510 yesterday and the atomizer is doing that boiling thing too and gets so hot it could slightly burn you. Even though it still is working, it has a terrible burnt taste, in the vapor hits can be very harsh... and I love a good throat hit, but this is different. Dang... Guess I should of waited, but patience is not my thing!

Hey Vape. The burnt taste could be due to the Primer fluid that comes from the factory, in the atomizer to prevent dry coil fire. Also it could be similar to my situation. My atomizer gets so rediculously hot at times, it seems to competely drain the liquid from a full cart in a cigarette's worth (10-15 draws w/primer puff) or so. It could be that your atomizer is operating on such a high temperature that it is vaporizing your fluid much too quickly, hence the burnt empty batting taste. THis also happens because the atomizer heats up so exorbitantly, that it cannot wick liquid fast enough from the cart, to the bridge, to the pot, and finally to the coil.

The vapor hits can be harsh, but that can be altered quite a bit by your draw techniques. If you directly inhale with this unit, it is fairly unpleasant IMO. Especially if what I describe above is happening during.

Sorry to hear of your troubles as well. Keeping the carts always topped but not pooling, is always very helpful. Keeps the burnt taste far at bay.

I also regulate my usage on this model quite a bit now. The first two plus weeks, were extremely heavy use. I used this model quite exclusively during that time frame. It seems as if my unit has even been performing more reliably than some..

All flaws aside, this model has the potential to beat the 901 and penstyles hands down. I have actually contacted JOYE Tech Manufacturing and offered my opinions and experience with the model, and hope that they may take these things into consideration. They have been very friendly thus far, and have been open to my suggestions and opinions. I truly hope they take these into account.

Usually it needs some time to brake in .

Actually in my experience, it performed great for at least the first week or so, until it started having more serious issues. Although its primer was out of mine within minutes, and its atomzier sizzling away; It definitely did not develop the Atomic Atomizer until after serious use for several days. Its 'breaking in' period was really where it just started breaking.

I would also assume I was vap'ing this unit much more frequently and harder than most would think of, normally. I used low and non Nic juice for some of its testing, just to see how many consecutive puffs I could get per battery, per cart, etc. I seriously test the units. I suppose I should have noted that sooner as well. My apologies.

I'm getting that nasty burnt taste as well. I also had to do the thing where you bang the batt on the desk (the Fonz method I guess you could call it...) when it seemed to crap out. It works for now.

Too bad, this thing is great, but the burnt taste happens with both atomizers. It started after a 2 days of use.

Cekte, I guess you might have missed my question about the LED on this thing, but it's on the first page and I was curious about it.

[Papa Lazarou]

The LED doesn't wrap around. Compared to most other e-cigs I've got the LED cover is more like a flat disk. Most of them are sort of dome shaped.

Nice review Cekte. I was kind of surprised that it was so poor in quality because before it was released I heard it was supposed to be really good.

Also, I don't know if this just might be the video, but does the LED wrap around the front end of the e-cig or is it just on the head of the e-cig? It it wraps around then that would be a really great idea for other e-cigs, that way you could see the LED more easily (especially outside during the day) and know if you/re reaching the cut-off period or if you're battery is dying, etc. It also makes it look more like a burning cigarette; if they could make it with a serrated/rough edges it would be even more realistic looking. Although some people feel that e-cigs which resemble cigarettes are a bad idea, but I like it so I don't have to explain to everyone who walks by me what an e-cig is. Although I do tell people whom I think would actually understand e0cgis and buy one about them.

Sorry DCrist, didn't mean to leave you hanging. I appreciate the kind words.

Indeed initially it seemed to get quite a bit of attention. It is initially an amazing vape. However this fades much too quickly. It develops serious mechanical problems far too early in its life of use.

Unfortunately this model actually has an even worse design as far as LED is concerned IMO. Seems for you as well. Its LED is raised a mm or so, and completely flat on the tip, not even rounded or domed as most are. It has a very faint "ash" print in the pastic tip, but its not as drastic or noticeable as majority of other models. It is quite difficult to see really. In the daylight, impossible. I agree with you, that it is difficult to see the LED at times when taking a draw, and one compulsively looks for the LED to signal things are working properly and sufficient vapor is being produced.

Hope that helps. Cheers.

EDIT: Sorry Papa beat me to it. Thanks Papa L, tis true.

Hmm, are your carts full or topped when the burnt taste is occurring? Is it possibly some fiber from the cart in your atomizer? Is your atomizer is reaching extreme temperatures? It may be not wicking the fluid to the bridge, from the cart, then to the coil, fast enough. They are known to do this. This can be compounded with any of the aforementioned events as well.

This could also be as simple as the cleaning cycle. That can take a while to get rid of, if you do not catch it before it starts. The batteries will flash for six full seconds, instead of five flashes (charge), 20 flashes (dead battery), or flashing for ten full seconds for draw count exceed. If this happens, unscrew the battery from the atomizer very quickly. This will prevent such in the future. They make it easy right? Hope that may have helped Shakey.

EXCELLENT REVIEW!!!

This is uncanny. I'm having the exact same experience as you are Cekte. Every criticism you mentioned is "Spot on". I bought from a local guy and have had vapor loss with little use, bad battery, bad atomizer, and batteries not lasting very long. I'm returning it.

It seems the only thing consistant about this ecig is the inconsistantcy. I guess they need to do a major overhaul on this ecig.

Another GREAT reviewer. You should do more. This is one of the best......and I've probably seen most of them on the net.

Thanks, Cekte. And they say you're not supposed to drip directly on to the atomizer with this model. I washed my atomizers to get rid of of the burnt smell, will try again. Maybe the key is to take shorter puffs less frequently - so the atomizer doesn't overheat. In the meantime it's back to the 901.

I still think the 510 has a lot of potential. I plan on sticking with it while they work the bugs out. Great review!
