I've run across a few people who got bum 510 atomizers from some vendors. They had similar complaints as you do.
They ordered new atties elsewhere and now the 510 works as it should.
Sadly I don't know which vendors or why exactly. Some 510 parts aren't Joye 510 parts though. They could also just be defective or old.
Some of my 510 batteries have a sealed hole in the center, while others don't. They all work the same for me though. I have noticed that one atomizer screws on more smoothly than the others, but they all work the same.

One thing I may add before answering you question...
I actually have one of the older White batteries on one of my Black Atty's right now and it Hits GREAT!!!!
Like I stated, it has alot to do with the alignment of how the treads where carved into the atty and batteries that screw together. Now, if I took one of my white atty's, and unscrewed this white battery I am using on my Black atty off, then screwed a white atty to this white battery together, it will hit like S**T!!!
There are very few white on whites that I can screw together that work good, I would say 3 out of the 10 I received. Now, the problem I am talking about right now has nothing to do with one of the ventilation holes being clogged by the seal, it has everything to do with how the atty and battery screw together!
Some screw together to where it blocks both ventilation holes. Now, with this same screwed/messed-up 510, I can take the atty off, screw it on another battery and it will hit GREAT!!! Same with that Battery, I can unscrew it, screw it into a different atty and it HITS GREAT!!!
Now I am hoping that they have all there 510's on the same page! It seems as-though they had like 2 different machines programed differently carving the threads at different point for these things.
To avoid getting older models, order from a site that sells a ton of atty's and Batteries, this way the older models are cleared out. I also advise to order the BLACK atty's and Black Batteries, I had a very hard time finding anyone holding a white 510 at-first, all I seen where blacks being vaped on, from YouTube to pics, ETC!
I am ordering a good $150 worth on Dec 4th when Totally Wicked has there sale. I am only ordering the mega batteries (silver version) and attys, as these just came on the market not to long ago, so I know I will get perfected 510's!!! I also want the mega as I found that the fresher the battery, the MUCH MUCH bigger hit and vape you get! These mega batteries have some juice!!!! Really looking forward to my order!
Are the TW gold 510s affected? I just can't be satisfied by them yet the black Janty Dura works fine!
I have yet to have a single problem with the 510 - I use the thick gold band type and the vapor has always been great even after months of use.
My "gold band" ones were from my first kit which worked good. (still liked the hit from my 801 better...must be me) Sister just got back so I'll mess with it in a bit.
P.S. anyone happen to know what the resistance of a 510 atty should be?

I have 25 regular 510 atomizers from various places, and I have 5 of those "questionable" or "new and improved" 510 atomizers from Innovapor. My understanding is that they are SLB 510 atomizers, but I'm not sure how confirmed that really is. Anyway, I really did NOT like them at first, and even posted a whole thread about it. There was some debate. Some people like them a lot actually. I eventually grew to appreciate them, but they are most certainly different in that they run cooler and have less throat hit.
Round about 2.5 but maybe I remembered wrong, been a while since I measured it hehe!
I think one of the reasons why the 510 emerged as a good e-cig for those new to vaping is because it was one of the first smaller model e-cigs with a manual battery. For many folks, it was easier to press a button than to figure out how to take a primer puff then inhale slowly and steadily so as to keep the battery activated. Also, the 510 atomizer has a tendency to hit hotter and produce a harsher vape. For many folks, that harsher vape is more reminiscent of an analog.
But the bottom line is that there is still an incredible amount of inconsistency in production quality. Several months ago, I got some atomizers that were awful--puny, weak vapor. I put them in a drawer with the intention of eventually throwing them away but keeping them for awhile in case of a dire emergency. I wound up pulling them back out and putting them on a high voltage set up just out of curiousity. They performed really well. Put them back on the 510 batteries, and they once again sucked. But I couldn't say the 510 battery was at fault because it was powering other 510 atomizers just fine.
The vaping gods are fickle.

The hole / No hole thing is dependant on whether they are manuals or autos. All autos should have a hole, manuals tend to be sealed.
There seems to be a massive quality control issue with 510s.
May I ask all 501 users (good & bad experience) in this thread, what brand you use?
All mine are 510 atty's I use with my mega's have a thick gold band with 4 slots at the bottom when connected to the battery. Other than that there are no holes. some are tw, some are tecc. All have the thick gold band. I had 2 that were not thick, with my standard 510 kit, and they died rather quickly. I stopped cleaning my atty's all together and they work perfect.
You are SOOOO Wrong my friend!!!
What he means, (and I also) by "HOLE", is that it is a manual battery, but there is a nitch took out of the middle of the inner part of the battery that looks like hole, but it is not a hole per-say, as you would see on Auto batteries. You can see it is still closed up from the actual battery compartment, but none the less, it's a hole which does not continue being a hole on the other end.
These Batts are simply 2 different generations of Manual batteries. One being flat, the other looking like it has a hole in the center, which it actually does not.
BTW, I use Titan 510's , before this I vaped Sharp-Smokers SS-Elite. The SS-Elite was taking in liquid as it was auto, and because of direct dripping my batteries where becoming clogged and dieing out on me.
I switched to the Titan 510 manuals and am extremely pleased! Yes, more then half of my White Titans are CRAP (depending on what atty's and batts I match them up with), but all the Black atty's and Batts do more then satisfy me, and this is coming from an EX-Newport smoker who loves them HARSH hits.

So what's that if it's not a sealed battery?!?!?
Autos need a hole, manuals do not. Newer manuals either have what you describe, or a flat surface. Older ones did have a hole just like the autos.
I guess the manufacturers listened to all the drippers out there & took out the superfluous hole in the centre of manuals. As opposed to using the same connectors for both types of battery.

I've noticed that just cleaning the connectors(threads) on the atty and battery can greatly increase the performance. Dirty (tarnished, maybe not even noticeable) connectors mess with the power transfer from battery to atty.
I think I'll assemble a new 510, I fancy giving it another shot! I have 4 black atties and a gold attie from TW, a passthrough, 2 gold manuals and a Janty black manual battery to charge in the purple PCC, can't let erm go to waste
Just vaping the primer off now, its producing quite a bit of vapour and its quite warm! Maybe all the other 510s I had were deadens after all!
Throat hit is just coming through and its impressing me! Its tasting a little burnt, let it cool off and drip some more...ahh thats better!
Whoa I never had a 510 work like this!! Its got a great throat hit now!! It seems a bit thirsty perhaps its just new. I am very happy now the 510 is working!!!!!

Ohh and its the gold 510 from TW, I charged the battery in the PCC!
What the eck I'm comparing it with the 801 penstyle and its winning!! I'm sorry I ever doubted the 510, wow I am impressed with this atomiser!!! I guess I have learnt my lesson not to use carts but to drip from day one with the new 510 atomisers If it keeps this up the 801s will stay at home tomorrow!!

My 2 cents. "Gold Band" atty's from TW have always worked great for me. I bought a few Joye atty's from somewhere else (can't remember where) and they sucked! I just bought some in stainless steel from someone else (because TW apparently doesn't have SS only Platinum which looks different) and the SS ones don't work as well either! I don't know why this is, but it is!
Also, you have to keep the 510 atty nice and wet, due to how hot it burns, or it will taste like crap. Using the blue foam cartridge mods keeps them wet and tasty.
