510 - All The Rave?

[eskimoroll]

I've been using a 901 modded passthrough at home and the 501 for the road. With that said, I may finally be converting to the 501 simply because of the atomizer life. I've burned through probably 4 or 5 901 atomizers while my first Dura C (501) atomizer is still working like a champ.

The 501 does leak for me at the battery connection at times (particularly when I drip) which is a bit annoying and the battery life does suck. I have a PCC on order and I'm waiting for puresmoker's 501 passthrough to fix that aspect for me. I did have that burned taste initially with it as well but a good atomizer cleaning and replacing the polyfill with tea bags and the flavor is nice and clean now.

I'm a little concerned with what I am hearing about the 501 carts melting?

I've never had one.....
but I don't suck the life out of my carts either.......keep em topped off

I've been using a 510 for three weeks now with pretty heavy vaporing. No burning carts whatsoever. I always make sure to line up the bridge with the cart (wide to wide) just in case, but I haven't had a single problem with the dozen or so carts I've used.

The 510 auto battery produces excellent vapor with minimal drag by using pulsing your drag as opposed to a long steady drag.

agreed........I also have never had an auto cutoff except when the atty was clogging..........3 seconds under the tap and a couple hard blows and was back in business, but the manual batt is way better for control

If you type the numbers '501' one more time, then you obviously don't deserve one. Just MHO. Some people can't work a button, some can.

The Joye-510 is a high performance vaporizer. This extra performance causes hotter atomizers, shorter battery cycle, and analog quantity vapor. Cartridges melt if inserted incorrectly. To me the performance justifies the drawbacks. This is just my opinion though.

510!!! My apologies to the 510 people

No harm intended..

I just got so used to 901 & 801

Looks like we got the picture since there is NO 501!!!

That's interesting. I've never checked and have never had the burning cart problem... knock on wood... hope I haven't jinxed myself now.

I've been using the 510 for a little over two weeks now (it's my first PV) and barring initial problems getting used to using a PV, it's been working rather well. Initially I wanted to use the auto battery and that started off my frustrations, but switching to the manual (i got one of each in my kit) made most of my problems go away.

As to melting "carts", I never pay attention to how I insert the cart and I haven't had a problem with the cartridge itself melting in any way. The atomizer does get pretty hot if I take 4-5 drags or so in a minute or two, though. The melting, burning plastic taste I do get is from the filler material. I switched out the factory filling for some polyfill that I got with my kit after a week of using a cart and I think that started off the occasional burning taste.

I've come to the conclusion that polyfill sucks as a filler because all the exposed strands can get caught in the atomizer and melt when the cart starts to go dry. I've got 100 carts on order showing up early next week, so after I get those, I think that problem should go away. It doesn't seem worth it to mess with refilling carts when new ones are 24 cents each and can easily last a week. The factory filler seems to be the same kind of plastic material, but it doesn't have the problem of long loose fibers poking out that a mess of rolled up polyfill does.

Leaking and drawing out liquid through the mouthpiece only seems to happen when I overfill and drag too hard. After playing with it a bit, I've gotten used to dragging on it properly and not filling it up too much.

Now I'm experimenting with flavors. As I have no basis for comparison all I can say about flavors is they're noticeable but not what I would consider strong. I'm going to try adding straight flavor drops to already flavored liquids to see if that helps. (I'm pretty bummed that there's no clove flavor that actually tastes like cloves...)

Also, as a side note, I don't really have any idea why people call these things e-cigarettes. A lot of my frustration in the first two days came from trying to smoke it like a cigarette, but they're not even remotely like a cigarette. They're much more akin to a mini electric hookah as far as how you need to draw to get vapor properly and especially considering all the flavors. When I started treating it that way (long slow drags as opposed to short strong drags) a lot of my frustration went away. Which is great to me. I was a clove smoker, but I always preferred hookah, they're just such a pain to set up.
