Well am not sure if it's the flavor now
since i started to use back my 401 yestaday...
But anyways i have a 510 that burns red hot when i hold on it.. And i think i may or may not have burn the plastic under (going to remove the bridge in a few) But man it's the worst thing i tasted since i started to vape.. It's almost taste like a really bad marlboro or some crap. I blame my self really cause i been home this weekend in a lazy mood.. and sometimes while using my laptops i rest the
ecig on the bed next to me and then all of sudden it gets under me and burns me lolz..
And funny thing is am using Ry4 which is a sweet flavour..
I have a second atty also not dead but don't produce much as it use to.. Anyway i can bring it back to full?
As dkrom86 said, look at the part of the cart that goes inside the atty. If there are little "bites" taken out of the plastic, then yes, you are burning plastic. But it sounds more like you are letting the atty get too starved for liquid. If you drip a few drops on the bridge and vape that, either without a cart (tail-piping) or with an empty cart, does it do the same thing? Chances are this is just a dry atty. You really want to avoid that, not only to not have the awful taste, which can burn the nose, but the atty is running too hot and will cook residuals onto the coil...making it ultimately weak, clogged or dead.
Bringing a weak atty back is something that many here are always trying to do. Hot water flush with blowing out can work. Also Crest Health-Pro mouthwash (no alcohol) as a soak for 15 min followed by hot water flushing can help this. Check out this Joye 510 forum. Lots of discussion and people are coming up with new methods to do this every week.
I would consider the ZFM cart mod. Its easy if you have an xacto knife and a silicone cart cap, and a drinking straw. Or aquarium blue foam is another good filler. These cart mods try to do two things: keep juice flowing evenly to the bridge and to empty the cart before needing to refill. Make the cart work as it is supposed to, which generally mean
not using stock poly filler, and the atty will get less clogs or dry spells or run too hot, all of which lead to weak or dead attys. I have most certainly increased my attys lifetime by using ZFM, but there are a whole slew of 510 cat mods here.
It is a learning curve using the 510, and people tend to kill or weaken attys a lot in the beginning, mainly from not letting them work as they are supposed to. I most certainly did. You should have more than one backup atty (or batt). Buy some. Sales are ubiquitous, and some of the china places are always very low in price all the time. I never pay more than $7 for mine, and I buy several at a time, and have about 30. Same for batts. Attys were never meant to last more than about a month, if that. If you get more than that, you are doing very well. And if the atty is working properly, due to a cart that is working properly, even cleaning is something that is infrequent. I hardly need to clean mine at all anymore.
Good luck, and keep vaping...and make sure you
can keep vaping, no matter what.
