510 is Pathetic.

You have to drip a lot more often than you have to refill your cart. I get 10-12 drops out of my cart without any problems, but can't drip more than 3 drops before I flood the atty.
First try dripping, and see how that is. It also may be the juice?
well 510's are awesome.... been vaping for a year today and man I couldn't be more happier with a 510 attie and a Super Six.
With BFM I can fit in about 15 drops and vape for a good 20 minutes. That is 20 minutes of chain vaping, Take a Draw put it down for 30 seconds take another draw and so on. If I am dripping I put 3 drops max and that will last me 10 to 15 Draws.
other than what the heck does pathgetic mean??? What else you vapin with?
Rofl, nice one, actually made me laugh out loud.
Rick, you look old (no offence) but these days some words like wicked and sick and even bad (omg) actually mean good, not in the true sense of the word but yea... the English language has been changing for centuries and will continue to change in the future...
While defending the 510, and I agree it's a good system, let's keep in mind that it could stand some improvement. Obvious #1 is battery life. What else?
If you're going to make a system where performance relies on alignment of parts, then make it so those parts can't be assembled out of alignment. Mechanical engineers, and even people without such credentials, have known this for many years. Use a keyway, an oblate mating point, or something.
I shouldn't have to score my cart with a hot pin to make it fit tight. The manufacturing processes to make things to better tolerances than this have been around for years. Yeah I know, it's China, and it's cheap, but this is a solved problem in hundreds of industries.
Leakage. I fill carts at night and cap them. The next day when I use them, there's various quanties of juice on the flats, and sometime spilled in my case. And yes, I'm careful to not overfill -- learned that lesson.
If the 510 were truly great, we wouldn't have pages and pages of mods. Granted, there's likely not a single filler or ZFM that'll work with any and all juice, and that's something that's just part of using a 510. I plan on trying out dripping pretty soon, because I'm already tired of dealing with carts.
Different strokes, or for you Brits, horses for courses.
Can hardly wait for my eGo XL to show up.
No flames here. Just a comment.
When I first got into e-Cigs, I got a Blu. The size was perfect! A very sexy unit if an an e-Cig can be sexy.
But after about 2 days I was very disappointed with it. With the OEM carts, it put out almost no vapor or TH. So I went on an oddesy of buying and trying e-Cigs. Blu, KR808, RN4081, Joye 510, Janty eGo.
What I learned, after spending a bunch of time and way too much money was that an e-Cig is only as good as the juice that you put in it.
A Blu, with my own DIY juice, in a 510 Cartomizer is actualy a very nice e-Cig. Tons of vapor and a good throat hit.
So I guess what I trying to say is that before you get all bent on one particular e-Cig for lack of vapor or TH, maybe you should try different juice.
Or perhaps you were just having a bad day and needed to vent.
Just got my first 510 a week ago after using a 901 for over a year.
I am loving it....simply blows my 901 out of the water. I love the manual switch as I can get as much or as little vapor as I want. Great flavor, throat hit etc. Really no complaints at all.
Even the short battery life does not bother me. I have 3 batteries in rotation and I have never been without a charged battery. I will be purchasing a couple eGo batteries however.
The only part about the OP that bothered me was...
"Flame away! (or be truthfull and tell me how your 510's don't really satisfy you)."
....as if nobody could have a different experience from you, and if we claim otherwise we are just lying and/or fooling ourselves.
Wrong.

Wrong.
Thats how the 510 became so popular, by producing no vapor or TH. Maybe you should try to find the error, besides blaming the unit.
I switched from a 901 to the 510. At first the 510 was great! After a few months of vaping, it seemed the attys would die quickly. Some were pathetic right from the start. Others became so hot they were untouchable after only 3 hits. I now have plenty of extra attys and batteries just waiting to be used. I switched from the 510 to the joye stick and have never looked back. I have yet to decide what to do with all the 510 stuff that I have. The 510 seems to work well for others and not so well for some of us. I'm sure the joye stick has the same quirks, but it works much better for me than the 510. Both units tend to leak as I'm sure all e cigs do. There are many improvements to be made. The atomizer should be the first area that suppliers work on. I have enough batteries to vape for the rest of my life,.lol. The attys are a different story. Bottom line, "To each his own" rsmith76
True story. 1 too have 3 batts in rotation. Yesterday morning, I had 1 in the charger with a green light -- put it in Friday evening, and 2 I was vaping on. 1 went dead, and I swapped it into the charger. Another went dead on my next vape, and then the one from the charger died right off. So I had 3 dead batts within 10 minutes.
My suspicion is that every once in a while, the charger just has a brain fart. I've been almost without a charged batt at work a couple times -- again, I think the USB charger I have for work sometimes just doesn't fully charge. But I can't consistently reproduce a problem.
Aint this forum great! Where someone can tear down the one model that has taken more members off analogs than any other model? imo
The 510 does have its faults: the batts suck, the attys sometimes get hot, crap-out quickly, or simply duds depending on the brand, and the list could go on.
The bottom line is that all models have their faults...but happy owners make happy vapers...and apparently there are lot of happy 510 vapers in ecf.
But its great to be able to have your opinion and express it.
But I wouldn't go so far as to call it "pathetic," or even "pathgetic."
I have been using a 510 since Jan 5th. I think there are some bad 510 knockoffs out there but you buy from a reputable supplier then you won't have the problems.
