1. I only buy Joye attys for my 501 they are worth the money IMO
2. When an atty starts giving a weak hit crest pro bath really will breathe more life into it most of the time.

3. After a crest pro bath if the atty is hitting weak you can use it on your 5v pt to drain the last of its life and get decent hits from it.

just to clarify for newcomers crest pro is a mouthwash! and from what i heard not just any old mouthwash will do?do you know the details of this brewster?

1) Never remove the wick from a Joye 510 atty.. unless you plan on dripping from then on out

2) A "hot" atomizer that doesn't produce vapor isn't necessarily "dry". More times than not, it is entirely too "wet" even though it may not show other signs of flooding (gurgling).

3) If a clean dry 510 atomizer can't give a dull red glow (dry burn) within 1-2 seconds of pressing the button... the coil is either still wet or still has gunk on it (assuming it's not burned-out).

4) They can last a lot longer than you think.

5) If you get them WAY too hot for too long, the internals can melt creating a hard draw or poor performance (510).

6) If you soak them for a long period of time in IPA or other alcohols you can partially dissolve an adhesive used inside of the atty (510).

7) None of them work sell for long with stock cartridges.

I learned the hard way that vaping at 6 volts you have to keep the 510 WET WET WET....I only take about 4 drags before I put 2 or 3 more drops in the atty. I don't use cartridges, I only drip.

The only time I have ever killed atomisers is when I have tried cleaning them, now I just blow them out and stand them upside down to drain for a day.

Yep! There ya go!! sounds like words off of my lips.This just seems to be what works best fer me too,and if i get any more than a week out of an atty, i'ma happy and its still cheeper than smok'n ciggy's!!!

The only time you need to clean a atty is when the draw becomes hard
. There no sense otherwise. Holding the button for a half sec before drawing also seems to make a big difference on keeping the coil clean and the flavor also.

If you "DRIP" in a 510 aty,use just a empty cart,cut a small amount from it,that won't give it access to the bridge ...no polyfil...
