Can I just get something that works?

[Badhbh]

I'm getting irritated with my 510s. I've been buying them for about a year now, and it seems like lately they're getting less and less reliable. The atomizers are quick to flood, the batteries are lackluster, and my PCC finally went teats up. I'm on my third round of atomizers for the month.. keeping them cleaned doesn't seem to make a difference any more, they still fizzle away in a couple of weeks.

SO I come to you. I don't want to mess with modding anything, or taking a trip to the home depot. Is there something that is as easy to use as the 510, but more.. I don't know.. smokey? I barely even get any vapor any more :\ And this is on a new battery with a new atomizer. Which, by the way, tastes godawful until it's broken in, and by then it's not glowing any more.

Ugh help. I'm tired of having juice marks on the knees of my jeans where I have to keep wiping the atomizer off Has the quality of the 510s gone down lately or something? I didn't have this problem until a few months ago.

Just one reason I have had nothing but excellent success with 510 empty cartomizers that I can load with the juice of my choice and vape....for days/weeks with the same carto.

Bad have you tried the clearomizers? They are great. Or try the regular CE-2's. They don't need to be modded and have lasted me a couple of months and still going strong. I don't buy very many attomizers so I can't comment there. I do use the standard 306's with drip tips. Just drop in a couple of drops and vape. When the flavor depletes, add a couple more.

Have you been trying the bigger eGo batts and carts/cartos? Name brand 510's or knockoffs?

If you don't dry burn as part of your atty cleaning that's probably the reason they seem to fizzle out. As crust builds up on the coil it won't heat up the juice as much, the more it builds up the less heat gets to the liquid. Regular cleaning although will clean out juice and residue won't get rid of the crust build up, it has to be burned off and with more power than a 510 battery can provide. I've got a 5v pass through that I use just for that reason and have my original atomizers from August still going strong. If you want to try this I would recommend reading up on it first because you can pop the atty if it gets to hot but when done the right way will revive and add life to a otherwise lackluster atty.

If you don't want to fool with that then clearomizers or fluxomizers that hairball mentioned is the way to go. I tried earlier revisions of these and hated them but they seem to be getting things right, these rock. Same thing applies though they will eventually fizzle out due to the crust on the coil and I do dry burns on them also but even if you don't they are much cheaper than an atty and I'm getting a good amount of refills before performance starts to fall.

i had the same problems with 510. I tried alcohol, high pressure water boiling soaking, dry burns and wet burns (burning with pure no nic pgto chase out the flavors. My conclusion though is it's the juice--not the atomizers. Certain flavors i like (cinnamon, coffee, clove, chocolate) seem to clog and weaken atomizers. lately i am using 80%pg 20% vg menthol and peppermint and things are lasting longer. The easiest thing to solve is the battery issue. They have now made a really simple solid solution with the ego 750 MaH pass through. The end of the battery has a mini usb plug on it. easy to find power lasts 8-10 hours at 3-5 ml a day.
I've just been reading about the wet burn technique and coming to believe it's the juice (and maybe the vaping style) that contributes to my atomizer burnout. I am using ego cartomizers with some success but haven't had enough on hand to try the darker/hotter more problematic flavors yet. i just bought some fluxomizers but they dont seem to be any big improvement and people complain about them a lot. I am only on my first one (2.6-2.8 ohm)--non of the primer gunk issues so far but the flavor is really much blander than dripping and the capacity is way too low so refills i can tell are going to be a pain.

Get a REO Mini from reosmods.com, some AW IMR 14500 batteries and a decent charger (Pila or UltraFire WF-139) from lighthound.com, some good Cisco atty's (either 510 or 306) from avidvaper.com, and you'll be in hog heaven.

Revolver has a Vgo that lasts all day on a single charge has lots of vapor and a good TH it's a 510 also the Gemini2 from revolver is a 510 and has a stong Th and lots of vapor I haven't had any of the problems you described with these PVs. Revolver Electronic Cigarettes

It would be nice if the OP would mention whether he is using joye 510 atties or a knock-off and what ohms. I personally use joye 510 hv debridged atties on my provari and have absolutely no problem--the taste and vapor are incredible. Drip 3 drops and they never flood. Please fill us in with some more info.

cheers,

All good ideas,My opinion is get an Ego or Riva from Liberty Flights and a couple of LR attys.That should improve your vapor production and batt life.

 

[Badhbh]

I've been getting the 510 stuff from cignot, and now that it's mentioned, I don't know if it's a knockoff or not. I'm going to go on the assumption that it is from here on out. I guess I'll look into getting some that are branded. Also, I'm now painfully aware that my knowledge haas fallen way behind.. Lol. So much new information.

If cignot is selling it as a genuine joye product, then it is genuine joye. what type of juice are you using and what are the ohms of your atties?

I've been using joye 510 atties that are debridged (I'm buying them this way,not doing it myself). When you drip it goes directly to the coil and taste and vapor are incredible--no mesh to get all gunked up. I've been using one exclusively for 3 weeks. I cleaned it once after 2 weeks by flushing heated distilled water thru it with a syringe..blew it out and started using it immediately--it worked like it was brand new. Just a thought you might want to try one.

It sounds like you don't want to deal/try a mod, but this provari I am using is worth the $$. It allows me to do what you are trying accomplish and that's just to vape and not deal with all the hassles. I still use my joye ego sometimes when I go out bar hopping because I want something smaller and I don't want to lose my provari.

The joye ego is a great device for the price. I put a fluxomizer from gotvapes or an ego-t atty and get a great vaping experience out of it. The ego-t's can be expensive and probably won't invest in anymore after the atties I have die. Fluxomizer's are 11.95 for a pack of five and they last a long time.

cheers,

Cignot has always sold legit stuff if they say it is. + ive never had any problems with this, i hope it gets better though.

I am hitting the like like like button on this. I think this is good advice.

Ok! I have a good starting place here. I love Viki at CigNot. She's always been good to me.
So, shopping list - eGo, LR attys (i'll figure that one out) and a passthrough.

The juice I use is the Clove from TastyVapor. 20% VG. Not sure about the oms of the batteries- no box to look at >.<

 

[Vindicated777]

I love my 510 but I love my Riva more...try it. No problems at all Liberty Flights $29.99 LR Atty hit the spot!

Sent from my PS3...it only does everything.

 

[Badhbh]

I think i'm going with a Riva. Can you use a 510 passthrough on a LR atomizer or no?

 

[Panhandler]

I don't think you should if you have a 5v passthru. Someone will chime in with info.
LR's and high voltage is not good from what I hear.

 

[Secti0n31]

+1 for the ego, + 1/4 on the ce2 carto's (leaky, fragile and difficult, but very tasty), If you use a PG based juice get the carto's from Ikenvape, but that's for the ego and not the mini 510. You also won't need a PCC with an ego as the battery lasts me 6+ hours even if I chain vape. I'd still recommend 2 batteries because they take a while to charge, and there's always the possibility that one will go kaput.

I got the ego passthrough because I had to send my Blu crap back to blu, it was compatable with all 510 and 306 stuff, and I haven't looked back. Still keep the Blu, but the ego rocks.

On a true 510 passthrough, one without an inline battery, you don't want to go below about 2.5 ohms on the atty/carto, and you should use a dedicated 2 amp power supply, whether plug-in or car cig lighter adapter. I tend towards 3 - 3.4 ohms on 5V, down at 2.5 ohms it is just too hot.

The sit-and-go models, ones with an inline battery, are actually running low voltage (standard 520 3.2V), from what I've heard, so an LR atty should work on them (you are really running off the battery voltage)
