510 Questions

[stevo_tdo]

Ok I decided to get a 510 kit to try out. Both atties have been broken in and there is no lingering taste of primer.

Now with that said. 1 atty is very hard to draw and produces little vapor. The other atty's draw has little to no resistance and not much vapor.

Logic would lead me to assume that one of these atties is bad but on the other hand neither of them produce the same amount of vapor as my m401's (I would estimate at 1/2 the vapor)

Before you ask my batts are manual, I do not drip I've tried blowing the atty's out and this is not because of a clog. I've rotated carts and everything else.

Well, if you take all the variables away, what help can we give? Just kidding. I find that even the slightest amount of dirt or juice b/w the battery and attie can cause this to happen. When the vapor is poor it is either one of these for me:

dirty connection
dry atty
batt near needing a charge.

Sounds like you tried all that....maybe email the supplier?

 

[vapordad]

or....one more thing. The 510 atty is very sensitive to flooding and it doesn't always drip to show this. You said you blew them out, though....nevermind

 

[Liscab]

if your are using VG it could be to blame, that only happent to me with a clog mouthpice or a very thick liquid

 

[stevo_tdo]

Yeah I might try to email him. With the weekend coming up I might tough it out over the weekend and tinker with it. I might add that the draws were like this from the first puff on new atties. The draw is the same with batteries unscrewed and no cart.

Make sure your cart is full with no air on the bottom. I don't use a mod, but I take a paper clip and push the filler to the side of the cart so the juice drops to the bottom. Then I top off. I get great vapor with all my 510's...

I guess I should also add that both atomizers are genuine joye atomizers

 

[vapordad]

oh, NEVER, I mean NEVER, get Joye atomizers.

Just kidding. I'm not being helpful now, so I'm signing off for awhile

Well, I stated earlier in another thread - I am am fully accomplished flooder now! Seriously - I do it all the time, dunno how, but it happens too often.

So, I am on my way to become a full time, cleaner now. What I found so far:

Simptoms:
1. Hard draw
2. Less to no vapor
3. Little to no flavor

On-the-go fixes:
1. Vape directly on the atty
2. Make short, hard draws on the atty
3. Repeat step 1
4. Blow on the battery end of atty and repeat step 1

Long-time fixes:
1. Blow at the cart end - hard and long. Be careful - it's a mess!
2. Repeat step 1
3. Blow on the other end - hard and long
4. Wash with hot water and blow occasionally
5. Repeat step 1 and 3
6. Towel dry both ends
7. Drip 1-2 drops, refill cart, let it sit horizontally for a minute or two.
8. Enjoy!

Guidelines:
1. Draw/blow should be almost effortless on both ends if atty is not damaged or flooded.
2. Whistling sound when blown mildly
3. Hissing sound is produced when atty is wicked well and fired

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Abyss

Oh. One more thing. Use flat (whistle) tips. Much more vapor than the round.

I have had several attys that draw harder than they should. Sometimes it is caused by the white nylon insulator is partially blocking the 2 air holes just above the threads. Look at the air holes and see if you can see if they are partially blocked by something white. To fix this I use a safety pin to stick in the holes and sometimes you can force it down. Also some attys do have a natural hard draw and there is no way to fix the problem.

I think that might be the ticket. The one with the hard draw has both air holes 3/4 blocked and the one with the smooth flow has them 1/4 blocked. I'll see if i can remedy it.

It seems that some attys just have a harder draw than others. I have only tried 4 with my 510 kits and there are some variance in them.

 

[stevo_tdo]

That's what I'm thinking too.

I know I had a m201 atomizer that was hard as hell. And another that was like nothing.

 

[stevo_tdo]

Ok, now that my atomizer's are drawing allright... Why won't these attys wick any liquid out of the cart. I'm running pg marlboro and pg hilton in these. Doesn't seem to wick anything after 3 puffs or so with adequate spacing between puffs. And yes I've blown the attys out multiple times. I cannot get these things to wick properly. I swear I have never had this much trouble with wicking. My m201 wicks excellent and my m401 wicks excellent. This thing doesn't suck anything out of the cart. I mean It's still 9/10th full.

If no one can say anything but that I need to mod the cart then I'm gonna sell these Pos and get some manual batts for my m401.
