I'm the proud and happy owner of a new Joye 510c, and so far it is the freaking bomb, but I'm having trouble finding the answers to some questions, and I thought I'd just get them all out of my system and hoped someone might be kind enough to answer some or all of them...
Sorry for puking these all up at once, but if I'm doing something stupid that's hurting these atomizers I want to stop before I kill them all... also, figure this might make a good sticky if we can get a dedicated 510 sub-forum set up...
Thanks,
Tim
- I've started to notice a faint burning plastic smell to some of my atomizers, some worse than others, but it's overpowering the juice flavor, and harsh in a bad way. I've got really bad eyes, but squinting at the wick side of the atomizer, I see what I think is the inner wick material sticking out the open side of the metal arch a little bit, only it's dark brown instead of clear. Could be built up juice, but could it be burned inner wick material? Is it normally partially visible out the side of the arch?
- What's the correct orientation of the cartridge relative to the atomizer wick when pushing the two together? I'd assumed that the widest part of the cart with the rounded sides should go the same way as the metal wick, so that the flat sides of the cart line up with the open part of the arch. Does that sound right?
- Are there any wrong ways to clean these atomizers? I've read in general about rinsing them under hot water, boiling in a pan, blowing through the battery hole, soaking in Pepsi, etc., and wanted to make sure there wasn't any reason not to use any particular method with the 510 atomizers. I blew a couple of them out the other day to get a bunch of gunk out, not sure if that might have blown the inner wick out too?
- What's the trick for dripping with these things? I'm coming from a 401 and can't hit the wick to save my life due to the sleeve around it, and end up with liquid coming out the battery seam, and little to none turning to vapor. I know the battery is sealed so I feel pretty safe, but I don't want to burn up the atomizer by dripping but not getting any liquid actually on the actual thing itself.
- When topping off a new cartridge, I notice there's a depression where the metal wick from the atomizer pushes into the cart material. I've been pulling this back out a little with tweezers, since I want to make sure it makes contact again when I put it back on, but that's also freeing up some fibers which I'm pretty sure are in turn getting stuck to the metal wick (maybe because I let the cart dry out too much? )and then heating up and making not-good vapors. What do you do with the stuffing when topping off or refilling, if anything?
- Any advice or care and feeding tips for this thing, apart from what is normally recommended for most any ecig?
