501.. Fire in the hole.

[Nicotine]

I love the 510 but for one massive thing, I can only get 4-5 puffs before the Atty overheats and tastes like mmm i'm eating the battery. I have used various cheap Attys and I am currently on number six of the Janty ones yes those expensive ones lol. So have they performed any better - if I said hotter than the surface of the sun might be if skillfully mixed with the acrid taste of battery --then no they are not.

Surely I'm not the only one that notices this? No wonder the Screwdriver does not have a 510 version it would cause another chernobyl. The only way I ever got a hot experience like that from regular smoking was if i put the hot burny end in my mouth by mistake, and of course I never did just being figurative there for poetic license.

If anyone uses the 510 and disagrees I would dearly like to hear about it.



Also the battery comment is a description of how it tastes not what is actually happening for those wondering.

Sounds like your atty is too dry. When firing up a new atty, they will take more juice i.e. will require more frequent topping off. So, four or five puffs seems about right for a new atty. Once the atty gets saturated, you'll be fine and won't have to top off as frequently.

This reminds me. With my 501 3 times so far I've put the LED end in my mouth and tried to puff. Anyone else do this on occasion?

I can remember putting analogs in my mouth the wrong way and lighting them and that first drag making me want to die. Blech! Of course that only happened when severely intoxicated, but still. I like the fact that now the worst thing that could happen is I'll feel a little silly. +1 for vaping!

I put so much juice in them to constantly cool them down it runs out the side of the battery. Therefore im doubting whether thats the problem and certainly not with the 10 or more ive tried.

That sure sounds like a problem to me. Anyone else?

I've caught myself doing the same a few times.

I have to say I haven't experienced burning tastes at all in a month of vaping with the 510 and I have been vaping constantly.

I have found an imperfect solution. I have three lined up and take a puff alternately lol. Don't know how that would work say driving the car with three between my fingers

I've gotten a burning taste only when my cart is running real dry. I top off and it goes away.

I thought first of all it must be how I smoke them, but looking at other reviews on Youtube both public one and suppliers they all seem to take the same amount of puffs. It surely cant be the draw time as I never produce the kind of vapour ive observe on the Vids.

It sounds to me like you are trying to take too many draws in quick succession. Vaping is a much more leisurely pastime than smoking (you don't have to worry about wastage from your ciggie buring down whilst you're not smoking it! )

If you try to take several draws in quick succession, he juice cannot wick fast enough to the atty and the atty will dry out and taste burnt..... no matter how much juice you have in the cart.

Try taking a longer pause between draws and see if this sorts your problem out.

 

[Nicotine]

I am not wicking im dripping so how can that be? My cart runneth over as well you might say

 

[Nicotine]

Just this minute tried it 3 drops of liquid and on the third puff ..... you know the rest.

I try and "smoke" the LED end all the time, and my sister never gets tired of laughing at me for it. I swear she sets me up half the time

Nicotine - A few things, if I may...

You shouldn't drip into a hot atomizer it's a very good way to kill it. The metal bits inside the atty that make it work aren't made to be tempered like that and can snap... give your atty 30seconds or so to cool down before dripping into it again.

Flooding is just a waste of juice - Like alcohol abuse! But.. Juice abuse.. naughty naughty I never drop more than 3 drops into my atty at a time and it seems to like it that way.

I'm agreeing with Angela though on the burning thing, sounds like your drawing too much in too quick succession, not only does it make the atty too hot and taste like crap but it also lowers the amount of vapor per draw.. What Angela meant about wicking was that the mesh inside of your atty wicks liquid from a little reservoir underneath it, if you vape too quickly it doesn't get the chance to pull liquid from that reservoir into the part of the atty that actually heats it.

How exactly do you draw on it? Maybe you need a little technique critique? Some things just can't be seen in a video, ya know?

I would like to say like a man blindfolded and up against a wall facing a firing squad, But I'd like to view mine more akin to the greedy suck of a new born child upon his mother's breast

Doe that give anyone any pointers to my inhalation work?

 

[Nicotine]

Ryle just noticed you ciggy avoidence tally, yes you do suck slow lol That's a slow week for me total

 

[Tori]

I have this problem too on occasion. I find my cart needs to be topped off or my atty needs a drop or two. It's odd that you have this problem with all your attys though. *Knock on wood* I am still using the same atty I have been since I got my 501 with no problems... hasn't been all that long but from others experience with them I feel fortunate. The alternating between 3 is hilarious... in the car haha... but geez how inconvenient to have to do that. There has to be a better way for you... I'm crossing my fingers you find it! I'm sure someone on here can help ya

 

[Nicotine]

Well I know Mr Marlboro and Aunty Camel can

HUH?????? Maybe I'm dense this morning (not enough coffee) but that made absolutely 0 sense to me.

As for pointers (and no guarantees that I do it "correctly" but this works for me)

I press the button down about 1 second before I begin the draw, draw for about 3-4 seconds, release the button, and continue to draw for another second or so. I almost never take a draw in less than 10 seconds after the first and I rarely get an overheated/nasty tasting atty unless I'm low on juice. Another 3 drops and I'm good to go for a while.. maybe give that a shot and see how that works for you?
