510 Disposable Review by Hoog

[Janie47]

Did you ever get the one it happened with to work, Strychnine? Was it anything you were doing wrong? I notice that the whistle end doesn't fit flush into the atty on mine. Maybe I need to use a little more force? Is yours flush?

I'm really sad over this tonight.....but I know it isn't a lost cause, so I'll keep my chin up.

Mine is working fine now. If I sit it down for a while I do have to take a couple of long slow drags. After that I can take regular drags.

It doesn't sit flush when you screw it in? You don't want to over tighten it. Just screw it in until it's snug, nothing more.

I'm pretty sure all of these come charged and I'm a little uncertain on how to know if it's fully charged or charging. Maybe it not being charged is your problem? Hopefully someone else will post. I remember seeing a video on Youtube with this kit that if you put it in the charger and the light stays on it's fully charged, but I put mine on right out the box and it blinked twice and went out.

I dont have one of the newer disposable 510's but on the older ones with the red led's, the carts would almost fall out.
I'm guessing the whistle tips are probably 901 carts as they fit VERY tightly into a 510. You have to push them down pretty hard to make them click in. That's probably why it's not working. Your sucking air into the cart and not through the atty. You need the air through the atty to switch the battery on.
Hope this helps and don't give up!

Due to the 510s emitting more vapor, do they blow through the carts quicker?

 

[Strychnine]

So I've been using mine for about 6-7 hours now on and off and there's hardly any vapor that I'm blowing out. I blew through the atty, plugged it into the charger and the light didn't come on so I assume the battery is fine.

 

[Strychnine]

Okay, well I figured out one problem and found another one. I swapped out the cartridge for a new one and there was plenty of vapor from it. I did notice the one I've been using all tonight didn't look moist anymore. Is that cartridge now done? Is it normal to go through a cartridge in a few hours?

And now, it isn't working at all. The light started flashing when I would try to take a drag from it, so I thought that meant I was over using it. I let it sit for about 10 minutes and now nothing happens.

You need to add more juice and charge the battery. Then you will be good to go again.

Battery needs to be recharged, I should say.

I vape Joye 510s, and I vape a lot, so about every hour or so, it's exchanging the battery and topping off the cart with liquid. (Although I could vape some more out of it, but since I am fissling with it anyway ….) Takes less than a minute, and that's considerably less than I spent fiddling with my analogs.

 

[Strychnine]

So I guess when you put it on the charger and the light blinks then turns off it means it's not fully charged? It said they come fully charged out the box and I put it on the charger anyway, and the light blinked then turned off. It worked well for vaping for a few hours on and off like that. Anyways, I did put it on the charger for 2 hours(the light stayed off the whole time), I put a new cartridge on(I don't have any liquid) and I am still having the same problem. There isn't much vapor coming out and the atty is getting hot after a few drags from it.

 

[AlexTM]

Hmmm ... not sure how the lights are on that one, but the way you describe it, it might be a dry cart after all. Not all pre-filled carts are particularly wet, I have to say. Had a few very dry ones myself, but of course not with a 510 disposable, since those are not available over here.

Can you check whether the cart looks at least slightly wet inside?

 

[Strychnine]

The new cartridge looks moist, but the one I've been using since I got the kit no longer does(it still has a menthol flavor to it), but like I said, I switched out the cartridge and it didn't change anything.

Since my last post I have not tried doing anything with it. Just now I tried using it again and after I take a drag from it I get no vapor and the light will stay on after it's away from my mouth for about 2-3 seconds, then it blinks 3 times. That's after it's been charged for 2 hours. The atty is still getting kind of warm right after the first or second drag.

You could just run to the drug store or Walmart and get some VG to refill your carts until you get some real nic liquid. A dry cart will cause the atty to get hot pretty quickly - it needs to be moist to keep cool and to produce vapor.

I'm using one of these disposable attys for the first time today (I had been previously using my regular attys with the disposable batteries), and they (the disp. attys) do seem to get hot quicker than a regular 510.

That, and the primer or whatever tastes like putrid ... worse than any primer I've ever tasted before. I've douched it several times with plain PG, plain VG, and some eliquids (to try to mask the taste) then blow it out. I've also been using the 5v PT on it to vape it out without inhaling and it's slowly fading - but it's some seriously persistent nastiness. To quote Ralphie from the Simpsons - "It tastes like BURNING"!!!

I was planning on giving some of these to friends and family, but I see now that the atty requires some initial maintenance and breaking in. I wouldn't want anybody's first vaping experience to taste like that - so I'm going to have to open the packs first and do the dirty work.

The atty or the cartridge might be dry. Try shaking it down with the light facing down a few times, might force some juice from the cartridge into the atty. Draw hard enough to light the light but not harder, and take long slow draws. As has been said, do it a few times in a row to get the atty hot enough to vaproize the liquid. If this doesn't work, might need to buy some juice to drip into the cartridge to get it wet enough.

 

[Strychnine]

Is it normal to go through a cartridge in a few hours? I guess instead of changing cartridges I could just keep refilling them once I get some liquid.

 

[TBM]

It is normal for me. I just add more juice and I am good to go.

 

[AlexTM]

A few hours? You don't vape very heavily, do you?
I just top mine off on the go. In the beginning, I filled a few carts, because I thought that was the thing to do. Still have two of those filled from back then; gotta vape them empty one of those days.

Those little 5ml bottles sell well for a reason

 

[Strychnine]

Guess I just need to buy some liquid then. Even when the cartridges were new I wasn't used to how little vapor came out compared how much smoke came out with analog cigarettes, and with not much of a throat hit I guess I was using it more often because I didn't think I was getting anything out. This is a disposable kit so maybe a real kit produces more vapor and gives you a better throat hit? The liquid should help with that too right?

 

[Strychnine]

Wow, I just realized I turned this thread into a thread of my own. If a moderator or someone feels the need to clean this thread up by deleting some of my posts go ahead.

 

[AlexTM]

Never mind, this thread - like many others - did already take a few detours

I have never had one of those disposables, but chances are of course good that "the real thing" produces more vapour. There is obviously a reason those are disposable; althought they are said to be very decent for their money. However, liquid is also a suspect, and particularly pre-filled carts. Those are not always very well filled, so that can easily lead to little vapor. One should always get some liquid, too, only most people don't know that when they order disposables.
And of course different liquids give different THs.

 

[Electricnut]

I think I read 510s are not highly rated for throat hit, but do give good vapor. Definitely buy some liquid to drip onto the cartridge when it gets dry so you don't have to keep buying not so good cartridges. You could try high nic ones for more throat hit and if you really want to get great vapor you could try a 5 volt or high volt mod. The higher voltage makes a huge difference in vapor and throat hit. I have the disposable and get great vapor dripping my own liquid in. Of course an analog gives the most vapor (smoke).
