510: Scorching Atty

[Zaxx]

Question for 510 users:

Have you run into an attomizer that runs too hot? I'm not talking about being hot to the touch, but when the atty scorches the juice.

Every once in a while I get an atty that get's too hot to use. Scorches the fluid, and cart filler. Even when I drip, the fluid burns. I'm not using a PT or mod, just a manual battery.

I've tried cleaning them, but that doesn't seem to work. I just wondered if anyone has experienced this, and if so, how did you make them usable?

Thanks.

Don't use them in extreme heat (like when it's a hundred degrees outside). Use a good STRONG liquid. Let it cool down after several drags. Use this time to enjoy your favorite beverage. Let go of the button -- seriously.

The manual switch is all about control. Some people have none.

Yeah...Thanks for the smart ... response.

Appreciate the help.

I have around 8 atomizers for the 510. Have never run into that exact problem. Something similiar would be a scorching atty that doesnt vape. It would just sizzle and run blazin' hot and produce nothing. It is in the wtf do i do with this bin.

That is one of the main complaints I have seen on this forum. I have about 6 atomizers for my 510. 2 of them almost seem kind of weak, but 1 of them just cooks like no other! Do you have another atomizer to try out? I don't know of any solution to this other then you have to take more frequent breaks in between vapes.

I have 10 atty's, only 2 scorch the fluid.

They do produce great vapor, just taste like hell.

Yup, that's pretty much what you have to do.

The 510 atomizers run hot, and the more you push them, the hotter they get. Some seem to run hotter than others, but for the most part, you just need to put it down and give it a rest when it gets scorching hot.

I tend to alternate between my 510 and either my Screwdriver or my JantyStick. That way, I can let my 510 cool down.

I don't I can't say how many times I've had my thumb on the button and been staring off into space. Runs the battery down but does not appear to damage the unit.

Well, I believe the length of the nichrome wire determines how hot it gets, and how fast it gets hot. If the wire is coiled like a spring by a machine that make a lot of them really fast, it stands to reason some could come out with an extra coil (longer, colder) and some could be shorter by a coil (shorter, hotter). Nearly pure speculation suggests that low operating tolerances at the manufacturer could be the cause. I don't know much about the math behind heating coils though:-(

If that's the case, all you can realistically do is use very short presses on the button (2 seconds?), while taking a hard fast drag, then release for a couple seconds and repeat.
Um, just a thought

I have had similiar problems with depressing the button. I usually depress it for a second before inhaling, but sometimes i get distracted, and the button stays that way. Darn cell phone, remote, keyboard...

lol faethe, I have so done that.... I agree with justjulie I alternate between units when and if I want to vape heavier..


However, Zaxx..I think I know what you are are talking about..I have one atomizer that tasted burnt almost from the get go no matter what trouble shooting I did,it still has that burnt taste even now...
After reading up on it... One thing I read that made sense to me was that "maybe" when I first got my kits I had at some point let either the wic or cart or something get too dry and I scorched it...The poster went on to say that if you do this it takes a lot of vaping to get past that nasty burnt taste and back to normal...
I havent put this theory to the test yet..I parked the atomizer on the shelf to try and work with it later.....Anyone experienced this?

the answer to everyones problems is SHORT DRAWS , no joke , it's easy to get carried away and take huge long "penstyle" drags , but all you need on a 510 is a 5-6 second drag. You will still get rad vapor and throat hit , trust me on this...

if you go to my videos , Rich posted a response to my YETI review demonstrating this technique perfectly

I can not wait until the Janty Stick gets a Dura adapter. Then I'll have two different sorts of units I can use all day.

Faethe- Completely thinking the same thing!

A delicate flower... lmao too cute..... thanks for the video link grimm...I do take shorter vapes..I just tend to take two in a row without releasing the button lolol

You're welcome... and welcome to the 510 club!

 

[Zaxx]

Thanks for your input.

The atty's I have scorch on the first draw, no matter how long I let em rest.

Doesn't appear to be a problem many are having. Must just be a couple of odd attys. I'll set em aside for backup.

Thanks again.

I don't have a 510 but often run into the scorched atty taste on my EVO. I let the atty cool down and then drip a really strong flavor onto the atty and take numerous hits and repeat until that burnt taste is gone.

Hope this helps.
