Keep in mind the atomizer has filler (metal mesh) in it as well that will trap liquid. So if you pull off just the cart, there is still juice to be vaped. You will notice this if you switch different flavored carts but use the same atty.
well thats what my initial suspicion was, but ive been periodically blowing down it for the last couple of hours and its still been producing vapor, i think theres a bit of ..... stuck down it or something, i can put a used cartridge on it and it will still fume, think im goin to chuck it, its a crap brand anyway.
To me, this still sounds normal. There might just be a lot of filler in your particular brand so there is a lot of juice to burn off.
The only atty I would consider throwing away is one that produces no vapor, does not heat, or was over-heated and now tastes like burnt hair. Then, I would still clean it first just in case.
But... do what you feel is right, we're not there to see exactly what is happening.
not very little juice, zero juice...its ....ed, i put it under a bright light theres small bits of singed fibre in the atomiser behind the mesh. ps the smoke, which is what im going to call it now wasnt coming from the mesh it was coming from inside the atomiser. definately the thumbs down for e-health cigarette which, quote, says on the box "smoking is harmful for health e-cigarette is good for health." LOL
I wish I had that problem! My damn new 801 has been torturing me for a week now with no vapor - came with a f'd up atty. I ordered a disposable 501 and CAN'T WAIT to actually get a good vape.
That sounds like the wick ... I've seen the same in my Joye 510 atty. Even though I use carts, I prefer to remove it because I can taste the burnt coming from the fibers. I've seen many warn not to do this unless you exclusively drip though because it modifies the manner in which the atty wicks liquid from the cart. Me, it didn't hurt anything ... seems like I'm always tipping one direction or the other depending on if the atty is gurgling or too dry - can't seem to consistently get the 'right' amount of fluid into the atty.
I'm fairly new to this though ... only been vaping about 6 weeks. Just my $.02.

is the wick the thing behind the mesh that has the wire coiled round it? and yeh its my first PV my mate had a load of them, couple of decent brands and none of them went on indefinately producing vapor without a cartridge!
another thing worth mentioning is that this particular e-cigarette didnt work properly in the first place, the connection between the atomiser and the battery was faulty and i had to mess with it to get it to work, before i did this it wouldn't do anything if the battery was fully screwed on. i think this brand is to be avoided if you ask me.
