Dura-C Draw - Strange - Help

[BigJim]

Hi Folks, got my Dura-C two days ago, do you find its strange when you take a drag on it. My 901 seems to let the air pass through very well but the Dura-C just seems to be very hard draw. Also unless the atomizer is wetter than a haddocks bathing costume vapour is very poor.
Have I got a duff one do you think. Also when you put in a fresh cart and press the manual battery, do you get a bubbling sound?

Any help would be great, Oh and I have a faulty battery I think. Im a bit dissapointed to be honest.

Thanks,
Jim.

I have two different JOYE510 aka Dura-C, models (one is the older model atomizer and the other is the newer stock) and both are a feather light draw. If you hear gurgling in your atomizer when you draw, it means your atomizer is flooded, shake it out to get the excess liquid out.

I like to drip, so I get these massively giant fog clouds when I vape with my 510 but it works well just keeping the cart nice and moist. After I drip on the atomizer, I give it about 30 seconds to soak into the steel wicking mesh. That usually helps.

Strange your having trouble, indeed.

EDIT: Also, try cleaning the contact point between the battery and the atomizer with rubbing alcohol.

I have shook it a bit and for a moment I could hear and feel the air passing through, however its gone back to clogged again. It does this with both atomizers!!! I may get a replacement.

I have discovered that one of my Yetti's atomizers has a harder draw than the other. I don't see a reason for this but I will see if I can find out why this is the case. It is very obvious and the lighter atomizer produces much better vapor.

Have you tried cleaning it? Just running hot tap water through it, with a quick rinse with rubbing alcohol and letting it dry, works for me. Seems that the liquid can get sort of thick or condensed and affect draw performance. I have been cleaning my 510 atomizer after every using 10ml or so of liquid (every 2-3 days), to keep up performance, prevent build up of gunk, and to keep it running at it's best.

I agree with bizzyb0t. In my opinion you are experiencing a flooded atomizer.

Blow it out from the batt end over a napkin 3 or 4 times. Tap it lightly on the paper to clear out the excess. Let it sit for 10 minutes batt side up. Add just 1 drop to the atomizer and hook up a topped cart. Wait 5 seconds and fire that mother up. You probably don't need the deepcleaning method yet. Unless your vaping a lot of glycerin or some kind of kinky homemade brew, it's likely not gunked up yet.

Sometimes they sound like that during the breaking in period but I also got a set about a month ago and another that was ordered awile ago but came about 2 weeks ago and the 2 atmoizers that came with it are producing very little vapor and I e-mailed Jeff about it but haven't heard back from him yet. I know that a lot of people have said that they have poor customer service but I've always have gotten great customer service from him hopefully he will e-mail me back soon so I don't have to join the others in saying how poor his customer service is lol

I think it is hit or miss with these things In addition to the 2 Dura-C sets I have - I also have a white Yeti set from James at thesmokeshop & even tho I've been told that they are made at the same factory the 2 white Yeti atmoizers that I got produce a ton more vapor then all four of my Dura-C atmoizers combined...???

That is probably correct. The 510 is one of the newest models out and it's been tweaked quite a bit over the past 4-6 months. They know they have a winner, but growing pains are still evident. I think I'm going to get the latest greatest from Jason and compare it to my older version.

got the same problem with hard draw and weak vapor, regardless of the atomizer/battery combination, although one atomizer is noticably better than the other. So far, the KR808d-1 blows it out of the water.

There must be something going on here, and the attys aren't clogged.

When I look in the atty holes i notice that I can see a metal ring obstructing about half of each hole on both atomizers. Is this the normal configuration?

Other than that I'm drawing a blank because I didn't flood the attys, they're fresh out of the box. Anyone notice a significant break-in period where the draw and vapor are similar to/slightly worse than a 4081?
