510 atty really gets hot, what am I doing wrong?

[Cindy Pennypacker]

Hi, I first wanted to say how informative this forum is. I have been using a joye 510 for about 2-3 wks now and I am really enjoying it, however the attomizer gets really hot and I am wondering what I am doing wrong if anything. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it.

What kind of setup is the atomizer? Is it a regular fluval cartridge type two peice? A tank? A cartomizer? Direct drip with a drip tip?

Chances are you're just not getting enough liquid to the atomizer, though.

Welcome Cindy , but as long as your not getting a burnt taste with your juice . All atty's , carto's and such heat up , some more than others . That's why most people use drip tips , because the atty's and carto's get too hot to put in their mouth . If on the other hand your getting any sort of a burnt taste , your not using enough juice , and your getting what's known a s dry hits . I suspect , your just chain vaping , and not allowing the atty to cool down . Completely normal . Vape away .

Is this a cartridge that came with the Joye 510? If so, it should get warm if you vape 5-10 drags in short succession and if that's the case, just allow a little bit of time between drags for it to cool. Maybe 10-15 seconds. If this is an aftermarket carto (Boge/Smoketech) then it may be a low resistance unit and your battery is struggling to produce enough current to drive the element. Typical Joye 510 batteries are designed to be used on Standard Resistance cartomizers/atomizers because the batteries are not strong enough to efficiently drive the lower ohm load of a LR carto/atty.

I run LR 1.5 ohm atomizers on a 3.7 volt Silver Bullet mod and they will heat up if I hit it several times consecutively. If I slow down the pace however, it will stay luke warm so to speak.

Hope this helps, but if it doesn't, someone on ECF with more knowledge will help you get to the bottom of it.

hi rosonowski, I'm using the reg 510 with the atty and empty carts that I fill myself. I did take the poly type filler out and put in the blue foam type filler that I got at my local pet store. I am putting in around 14 drops into the cart and 2 drops onto the atty itself. Is that enough liquid do you think? thanks

 

[Cindy Pennypacker]

thanks Renzuli, I probably am chain vaping it as I was an extremely heavy smoker. thanks for the info. This forum is great.

 

[Cindy Pennypacker]

thanks jammin for the info. The atty is the one that came with my joye 510, so I don't think it's a LR. one. I think I just need to remember to allow some time between drags. Easier said then done Thanks for the help.

Pretty damn close, compared to most of the knock-offs.

Hi Cindy, You can remove the blue foam and just add 3 drops of juice directly on your atty.Maybe that way you will get better satifaction.I have been dripping for over 2 years.You should get yourself a drip tip.For now, you can use your empty cart.

 

[Cindy Pennypacker]

Thanks Robin, I actually have a drip tip on order, can't wait to try it in the meantime I will try your suggestion.

Hi Cindy! Maybe too obvious to be of much help, but I recall from my 510 w/cartridge days always keeping two of them loaded-up and handy (+ two batteries charging) and alternating between the two. I suspect it won't be too long before you do as so many of us who started with 510s fave done-- abandon the cartridge setup in favor of dripping or cartomizers. IMO, cartridges are the most troublesome delivery device out there. (YMMV, of course.)

 

[rosonowski]

Yeah, you're on the right curve replacing the filler, but honestly, I just ditched cartridges altogether. I would drip mostly, until I found the Boge LR Cartos, which are just perfect for me on 3.7V!

So long as you're not getting dry vapor and the atomizer isn't so hot it burns you, you should be fine, though. People intentionally run the atomizer for extended periods of time, intending to get the coil to glow red hot in what's called a 'dry burn' and all is well.
