Atty burning way way too hot.

[Saviorself]

Hi all. I have 3 debridged 510 attys. 2 of them burn way too hot. I've cleaned them, blew out excess juices, dry burned them and even primed them before I start to vape and they still get hot very quickly. I did a series of different drops priming. The throat hit is still waaaay too harsh. At times I even accidentally flood it and it still burns too hot.

I know you got to keep the atty wet and all. Do I have a defective atty or something? I'm getting frustrated to the point I want to rip off my hair and beard

Possibly too many draws too quickly...are you chain vaping ?

 

[Saviorself]

Not at all.

What are you running them on and at ? (so someone else can offer help....)

 

[TomCatt]

What battery (voltage) are you running it on? Do you know what ohm the atty is?

 

[Saviorself]

It's a basic joye 510 manual battery and atty. I wouldn't know how much voltage it is.

Do you have a multimeter? I would check the ohms on the atty. There is a possibilty that when you debridged and dewicked you could have pinched the coil together effectively lowering the resistance. A standard Joye atty should ohm out around 2.6 ohms.

Agree with the above. Sometimes when an atty is FTD (fixing to die) the resistance will drop and it will burn hotter than normal. Did-ja ever bump an incandescent bulb and see it glow brighter than normal? It burns for a minute or so until the filament gets too hot and opens. Same thing with an atty... Enjoy your pseudo LR atty while you can. =)

True Joye attys measure 2.2 ohms on average in my experience, btw. (Fluke 110 and/or Fluke 87 meters)

What kind of juice you vaping? I noticed that in all my debridged and dewicked attys my juice tend to stay on the sides and not fall into the coils when I drip since I do 70%VG20%Flav10%vodka/distilled water. So I stopped doing the debridge thing.

I had the similar issue once. Even button on my e-pipe got hot. When I measured the atty's resistance it was less than 1 ohm. Don't know how could this happen, sort of short, I guess. If this is the case you can ruin your battery, be warned.

Okay I just found out what was going on. It was the strawberry cheesecake flavor I was using. I wondered my my gf stopped using it since I bought it for her. She dripped the blueberry I originally bought in the atty and it wasn't harsh.

...I feel like a idiot now, but a relieved idiot haha.

 

[Saviorself]

Nevermind it's starting to do it with the blueberry flavor also. Where could I get a multimeter?

Harbor Freight for a imexpensive one, Radio sahck for middle of the road or buy a Fluke for top end. If you can wait RTD vapor has a good MM for a reasonable price:
Multimeter

Thanks for the tip. Theres a harbor freight down the block.

Careful with those from HF. Mine won't zero out and its 3 ohms off when testing resistance. Voltage is ok tho. But it also was 5 bucks. lol way less than the gas it took to drive there for me anyways. I just keep that one for f'sakes and bought another one from wal-mart that seems to work better for now.

I just cracked open a new 510 atty, and have this problem. It's not the juice -- I'm using the same juice I've been using daily for a year or so. It's just the atty. It burns VERY hot, the vapor tastes bland and unsatisfying, although the vapor production is close to normal.

I find that about 1/3 of the new attys I try are "bad". Not bad as in nonfunctional, but bad as in they run too hot, or they have a bad taste that won't go away, or they burn too cool, or some other issue. The good ones, though, are very good and last a long time. I've just accepted that I'll need to toss 1/3 of the attys I buy.

I've been using cartomizers more and more lately. The convenience is so much greater (top off less often, it's easier to top them off, and they are much less messy)! Some juices don't work very well in cartos, so I use atty/carts for them, but when I'm out and about it's cartos only nowadays -- I vape the not-good-in-a-carto juices at home.

I have el cheapo Harbor Freight MM. When ya go to check resistance...set MM to 200ohm and touch the leads together if not at zero just subtract whatever # you come up with from your reading on atty. Mine is .4 off.

I got a relly nice MM at Home Depot for 20 bucks. It zeros out and has a thermal probe. It has zero lead restistance as far as I can tell.
