4th Update On My Yeti

Yeti 510 Batteries Just Suck, 10 to 15 Minutes of Max Use.

OK, Time to Email Rob at Altsmoke (where I purchased it) to see if he can help.

FYI! My batteries did not hold a charge long, But I love the 510 / Dura / Titan / Yeti Smokes Great!

I emailed Rob at Altsmoke (where I bought The Yeti) about the batteries not lasting long, to my surprise, he called me!!!

What a great guy (Rob @ AltSmoke.com), I spoke with him for about 20 minutes, we had a great talk, he knows his stuff!

He insisted to replace the Batteries at No Charge!

Rob sent me (2) Replacement 510 batteries, which I just received (2) Days Later!!

Ok The Batts are on the charger now, so I will update about the battery time.

But I can also State Rob @ Altsmoke.com Does Back His Products & Has Great Customer Service!!

Keep Vapin & Thanks Rob at AltSmoke for the Great Customer Service!

my expirence with the yeti has been much different than Cell's. i have been using it for over a week, and i am getting 3 to 4 hours on each battery. carts last forever and the liquid tastes better from it that it did on my 901.

I have been vaping my yeti for 10 days now. Major problem, one atomizer died and was replaced by Rob@altsmoke.com. His customer service is right up there with Katy and Jane. This thing is a juice hog, but it is a vapers paradise. It is a pleasure to use. My atomizers only seem to get hot with a fresh battery. The batteries are lasting 3-4 hrs.. Throat hit is awesome! I ahve had very little cart leakage, about the same as my 901. This yeti beats the 901 hands down. Maybe the em901 will be close to the yeti. Would like to get some extra batteries and atomizers just in case, but so far I'm very satisfied.

Yes All Sorted And All 510's Buried With Full Funeral....

But Let Me Say That Rob @ AltSmoke Took Excellent Care Of The Me & The Situation!

Its Been A While, Maybe They Have Improved The 510's, I Don't Know because I Will Not Purchase Another 510. I Will Stay With The Dura With The Better Warranty Which Is Needed For These. (Yes, My Dura's Don't last Long Either).

Keep Vapin!

Got mine last friday, today is monday. Testing it out at work today to see how long it'll last...

First impressions, skeptical. Didn't seem to hit right away, fully charged. I would get a throat hit, but very low vapor. That seems to be the theme here with these. I'm using ry4 right now.

These things were supposed to be producing clouds from what I've read. So called "vapor monsters". I don't get much more than my 901 blew. Of course this is with only using the carts. There's no issues with being sure the atomizer is burning the juice either. Wondering if they need to be broken in?

I'm a little nervous about dripping with these for some reason, maybe it was because of the noises my atomizer was making... we'll see.

I got mine Saturday. 2 kits with manual batteries and USB passthrough with battery.

So far, they seem to be OK. Vapor production is not quite as good as everyone had been crowing about in all the reviews I had seen before buying. In fact, I think my 901 makes better vapor, and the taste is much better. The 510 seems to be a 'drier' vapor...just not as thick and rich as the 901.

The battery life seems to be normal. I am getting around 1 1/2 hours, and I vape pretty hard. The manual batteries contribute to this I am sure, after reading of others problems with the batteries activating on their own.

The cart leakage is a pisser though. It makes a damn mess if you lie it down for any period of time.

My verdict? Still undecided if its my new favorite, but so far so good.

Wow. Sounds like a lot of you are having bad luck... I must say for myself, that I love my joye510. I bought two kits, but Im saving one for a friend. Mine works perfectly. I did notice a rigged rim on the cartridge and this does seem to cut back the amount of liquid that gets into mouth. Ive dripped and topped off cartridges, and have also used the teabag method. It has been consistently producing more vapor than 901 and my bf thinks its smoother too. The batteries last about five hours, but I dont vape more than 2 ml a day...

wegster · 05-18-2009, 06:16 PM

Thanks for the update, cellmeister.

I've got to say, I really like it on the USB passthrough, but...seems way inconsistent and can't get decent throat hits off the batteries (auto) for the life of me, even using 36MG RY4 cut to 24MG. I've ordered some manual batteries, and some spare (extra) attys, will mix it up a bit with different juices and the manual batteries when they arrive, and see if it improves off the passthrough or not.
