510-T Atomozer Questions

[DawnBella]

Hi all

I went ahead and purchased a 510-T kit because I love the ideal of filling a tank and not messing with carts. Anyway, the kit came with 2, 220 MAH batteries and 2 atomizers. The atomizers have the gold band that says, "510-T". They work very well but boy do they get hot. Ouch! LOL. I ordered a couple more for another place and they don't say 510-T. They don;t get as hot but they do not work as well. Anyway, I need to learn ... what is the difference between low, normal and high resistance? Also, which type comes with the gold band? I'd rather not have the gold band but I do want it to say 510-T to be sure they are not knock offs.

Thanks!!

I'm not sure, I just started using mine which I bought from litecigusa, and mine get hot too, I have been vaping for a while but I'm just trying the tank system out for the first time

Not a single person?

I am not an expert from what I know after 3 or 4 hits you will have to put it down to let it cool off. From what I understand just how it is.

I'll be waiting for anyone to answer, too. I ordered a (non-branded, clearance priced) regular atomizer, not low-resistance, and it doesn't get nearly as hot as the one that came with my starter kit. However, it also doesn't seem to work quite as well, either. Purchases with my next paycheck are going to include 2 new branded atomizers, one "normal" & one low resistance as well as a pass through.

WARNING! It is NOT recommended to use LR atomizers with Regular batteries! From what I've read, your battery life will be drastically shortened and or/permanent battery damage will result. See Here: About Low Resistance and Specific batteries

-Here is a pretty great explanation of Low Resistance/High Voltage atomizers, and why one might choose to use them, as well as how they work, their differences, and a nice beginner's guide to vaping electronics. (It's not boring!)

PS- I've got a newly purchased, standard-resistance Joye 510-T kit. It has the gold bands and says JoyeTech on the batteries. The Joye LR 510T attys I've seen do not have the band, but I'm not sure if that means anything.

I imagine that the atomizers are getting so hot because they have such a small area in which to heat up the juice, but are getting so much normal 510 power. Mine have a stiffer draw than a regular old-school 510 kit, and don't produce my expected levels of vapor no matter the juice. I'm actually disappointed in the performance, and have purchased "Hybrid Cartomizers" for the kit, but this isn't a review, so I'll can it. Enjoy the links!

Thank you, Vampirecat019! I will definitely check those links out! When you make the choice to switch from analogs to vaping, it seems so simple. Then you find out there's a ton to learn, and it's hard to find much specific to 510-T attys. Someone suggested watching YouTube videos; I did for a few hours yesterday & learned very little. I simply don't have time to sit & watch videos LOL; I need info to read & learn! Thanks again!

Haha, I wish we all had more time to watch videos!

Hope I could help a little. The small world of vaping is pretty huge, and it can be daunting. I'm about to pick up an 808 VOLT kit from Smokeless Image. Solid, popular reviews, and good prices. I am trying to simplify my vaping experience whilst I am at work, which 50% of is travel-time.

PS-Although I enjoy these new CE2 510 Ultimate clearomizers (MicroCig) at home (which you may want to try on your 510 batteries!) they just aren't convenient to refill on the go, so it's back to cartos. I'll probably get some XL clearos for the KR808-2 as well, but for now I'm going to enjoy some prefilled Hybrid cartos and go!

Dawn I hear you. I also bought a Ego 510-T starter kit for my first go at vaping. The batts that came with mine are 900mah
(Milliamp hours). That speaks to the amount of current or power flow of electricity that comes out of the battery. The batts are 3.7volts. Without going further into the physics the voltage, amperage and resistance all have a role in vaping. I have not heard of a 220mah batt, but if so it is very low in energy punch. Sooooo...it's gonna drain your batt quickly. What to do? Buy yourself any 510 batt with over 650man, like 1000. This will have the current to sustain operation of your atty. The atty is considered "high resistance" and will require lots of current (mah) to fire your rig up, given the voltage is the same. The eGo-T atty is what it is, hot.

Personally I spent so much time fiddling with the T system, I finally gave in and got the Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer from Smok Tech. Why? The T gave me too many dry hits and cleaning them is a royal pain. The cartridges that hold the juice don't seem to drip properly and I was not satisfied with the quantity of vapor produced. The Dual Coil is lower resistance and once filled I vape all day without a dry hit. Much more satisfying.

About the Gold band thing. Most retailers you buy vaping products are simply resellers from a few manufacturers in China. I'm not knocking anyone, that's just the way it is. Go with the retailer you get the best service from, but product loyalty is vague when several companies are selling from the same manufacturer. The key is buy 510 compatible stuff. That will insure you have the correct screw threads to mate with your batt. Sorry for the ramble, but you asked.

Currently I'm vaping the eGo-C variable voltage batt set at 4.0v and the Mega Dual Coil Cartomizer. It's like a totally new level of vaping. Like I said earlier; vape all day with one fill and never a dry hit. I not marketing for anyone, just a noobie like yourself. Hope this helps.

I got mine about a week ago and mine doesn't get hot.
