In the expert forum you will find some secrets about that:

Press the button 3 to 5 seconds before puffing, take a long and slow puff and do not inhale -> Ultra huge cloud !

This can also help but the 3 to five seconds "primer" is the real deal
1) Add VG to your liquid
2) Use a brand new atomiser
I've never had a brand new 510 atty work at peak efficiency.

I second that. My atomizers never produce much vapor when they are new. When I was a noob, I was very disappointed when I saw my vapor compared to a reviewer... (510). Then after a few hours of puffing away, I was grinning from ear to ear.

since this is about issues with the 510. figured id ask im having a hell of a time getting good vapor and my flavor is super weak, my 901 give 3x the vape and the flavor is just wow. any recommendations for a good addy or length of time to hold the button.

From what I've read on these forums, the 510 attys burn a little hotter than the 801/901, so you tend to get less flavor from a 510, but more vapor and throat hit. Personally, on my 510, I only hold the button down for about a second before starting to drag, take a nice long draw, and keep drawing until my LED goes out after releasing the button. I usually get vapor comparable to analogs this way, which is fine by me.

Also, if you're using PG, try throwing a little VG in the mix for more vapor (and possibly more flavor if you vape on sweeter flavors).

Perhaps your holding the hit in. The vapor will condense, absorb etc.

I suspect that a lot of the reviewers aren't doing anything more than a quick inhale if that. The big suck without inhale can make it look like a giant cloud.

I've also noticed that different flavore produce differen't amount of cloud.

ok from all the reviews im seeing the 510 should have a pretty high amount of vapor coming out of it, and i hardly even get as much as the guys in the review vids when i drip, i dont know what im doing wrong anymore, ive tried cart mods and everything but nothing seems to change

Glad to see an atty change helped you out. You have to remember that atty's and batteries are disposable. 4 months is a good run. If you mix flavors on your atomizers, things are going to start tasting different. Some flavors really like to hang around.

Also like everyone said, adding some VG will give you more vapor, but VG provides less throat hit. A lot of reviewers don't inhale I've noticed, or just lightly inhale. I've also noticed that if I turn my cam on and take a drag, it looks like I get a lot more vapor on cam.
