OK I am Up, Smoked My Yeti's to The Batteries Needed Charging Last Night, they may have lasted about an hour or so alternating between (2 Yeti's) them.

So I let the batteries charge overnight, this will be their 2nd 8 Hour Charge, lets see how it goes today.

Cart Update: I did notice one change to the new carts, The Top of Them (looking at the hole on top) has a small rim & is now slightly lower, making a dish look, meaning if you any liquid past the outside hole it should go back down the hole into the cart. The edges are still rough & sharp.

I still don't have time to fully examine the whole unit, maybe some of you other new owners can start updating their findings.

And Yes It Runs Hot & The New Carts Do Leak all over the place.....

2nd Update Today #2 Yeti / Joye 510 Brand New Battery is Already Out of Power within an 1 1/2 Hours (after The Last 8 Hour Charge)....

This is Looking Like The Original Dura Battery Problems Now....

The Cart: The Cart Design Is a Failure, Still Leaking and these are the New Designed Models for The Dura...

I am Losing All Hope Right Now, Joyetech's 510 Looks Like Another Dura Loser!!!

JOYETECH CAN U HEAR ME NOW!

i just noticed somthing odd about my yeti, one atomizer is about a quarter of an inch shorter than the other. the longer one carts fit loosely into it and they leak. the short one is extremeyly tight and has not leaked yetalso the long one wil not fit into the charging case with a cart attached and the short one will.

Well I'm waiting for this to arrive. It'll be my first e-cig... Are the issues that you mentioned bad? (Do the spoil the e-cig experience?)

My Yeyi does leak a little, but no worse than the 901's I have been using. I'm mostly tired of the 901. The Yeti is good so far, but this is my first day. Throat hit is as good and sometimes better than the 901. Battery life is better than the 901. Vapor is very good, and yes it is a juice hog, but right now, it is very good.

3rd Update Yeti / 510 / Beast / Dura: All Batteries are Discharged Again from Normal Use.

I am getting about 30 to 45 Minutes of Use Now From Each New Battery.

Back to The Charger Again.

Still Vaping Good! I Like it.

Nothing Else Has Changed, ie The Carts Did Not Fix Themselves, still leaking even leaving them flat on a table...

I guess it is hit and miss on the leaky carts. I have only had 1 old, very worn cart leak on me. It seems to be tighter than my old Dura was. It takes quite a bit of force to insert the cart compared to the Dura. Maybe I just got lucky and found a good one.
The leaky cart problem is clearly a blatant problem in engineering and must be (and should have been) taken care of by Joye. If this keeps up, I have a feeling that suppliers will stop purchasing products from them just because it is too much of a hassle dealing with this many problems.

I just wipe mine after filling with a paper towel. This is a habit that I got into with my 901. I have had no major leaks with the Yeti, only minor ones. Give this a try, it works for me.

Received my Yetis on Thursday and have been including them in my rotation since (401, EVO, 901s). Some leakage problems with one, but minor as I try not to fill/overfill the carts when I top off. After a night's rest, I usually wipe off the exterior with a paper towel, just in case. I've been getting really excellent vapor from one unit from the get-go. The other was not quite as good but does seem to be improving with use; better than average compared to a 901 now. One battery I got with the kit (from AltSmoke) has the short cutoff cycle (5 secs?), which is annoying. The other battery is more like 7-8 seconds, which works fine for my vaping style. I tried the "blow backwards through the battery and rap on the table" fix on the short-cycle battery...it actually seems to help! :-) The atm's do seem to heat up pretty quickly, but that may be why vapor production is better than average. I tend to rotate between several e-cigs while I'm at the PC, so it's not been a problem so far. I'll see how atm life-span compares to other models with some more use.

So far I'm getting around 2 hours from each battery, which seems to be better than average...guess I may have gotten lucky!

I understand that Joye will be distributing the switched battery to 510 suppliers soon, so I'm looking forward to giving that a try. If they can resolve the cart design issues and tighten up on their quality control, I think this will be a great addition to anyone's e-cig 'stable'!

RaDiX · 02-23-2009, 01:24 PM

Ok I received my 510 as my 1st e-cig. My first impressions aren't as good as I thought they would be. The tobacco flavour cartridge tastes like nothing, gladly the menthol is good. The cartridge leak as hell, I even got the liquid in my mouth once. I hope that I will be able to quit smoking with this...
