Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Your 510

[seadooman]

OK, this maybe a stupid question but I'll ask it anyway. i have had many different e-cigs before but first 510. Does the cart have to fit into the atty any certain way? I notice that the carts are OVAL at the wick/juice end and should that be positioned to fit around the bridge of the atty???

Yes, the cart should run the same direction as the white ceramic piece in the base of the atty, as seen in this photo:

Thanks for the response. I kinda knew it should line up but hadn't seen anyone mention it. Well, off to break in my new 510.
Happy Holidays

Kickass Thread !! I'm now up to speed with all you Pro's !! Love the way y'all call normal cigarettes "analogue" LOL !!

Soaking/Baths: Soak in one of the following; Everclear or 100 proof vodka, isopropyl alcohol, diet cola, Polident (denture cleaner), hydrogen peroxide, vinegar or ice machine cleaner. Rinse VERY well under hot running water. Dry 48 hours.[/SIZE][/FONT]

Holy cow! a practical use for Everclear . . because drinking it is not one of them

Thanks for the post, a lot of help for us new to the game

Wow Kristen, thanks for all your hard work on this thread! I've been reading non-stop for over a week now and I sure wish I would have read your thread first!

I think the hardest part for a noob is the terminology and understanding what posters are talking about...it gives me a headache. The older I get the harder it is to get instructions to stick (maybe I need some crazy glue?)! 8-o You did an excellent job of educating us 510 owners and I really appreciate it.

Kristin,

Did you know that the link to this thread that you have in your sig line doesn't actually work...

Weird, it worked for months and all of the sudden it was changed. I repaired the link - thanks for the heads-up Scott!

Does it honestly matter how the carts line up with the atty? I use whistletip carts and lining up similar to your above picture puts the button in an awkward place when holding it in my mouth.

Some people apparently have had cartridges melt a tiny bit if they did not line them up.
I would say if your cartridges are not melting at all then don't worry about it.

Kristin,

big thanx for this wonderful thread, I'm waiting for my 510 and now I have a great manual to fallow.

Great work.

Kristin I just want to say Thank You. This made me feel like I already knew what I was doing and gave me a lot of confidence when my 510 finally got here-- I was even able to do your PTB mod all by myself.

Just curious! Are there ANY Differences in 510's? There are sooooo many 510's out there! Is there an original maker? Are all 510's exactly the same and interchangeable?

Vaporking510
Joye510
etc.
etc.

Funny, I have been aligning them 90° out for the last 5 months. I initially was going to make a post with sketches but got distracted. I figured that having the long part of the cart throat align with the bridge would maximize contact between the packing and the bridge.

I only get melting when I'm running hot and taking long drags and that usually results in a fried atty so I generally keep it down to about 5-6 seconds and then hold the stick by the atty so I can feel when it gets hot and when it's safe take another drag.

Also, the auto drip spring mod kicks .... I stoped using or searching for another method as soon as I tried it! I was considdering the brass screen mod but every place I looked for a brass pipe screens here in New Zealand, the folks looked at me like I was from Mars. My carts now cook dry and I was able to stop dripping, which was driving me crazy while I was driving.

Remember: Don't drip and drive; auto drip dry!

Great job on the guide.

Thanks Kristen!

Are there other attys that can be used with the Joye 510 that might be better than the one it comes with? I'm having problems with the taste after I vape awhile and think it might be because of how much I use it.

Not that I'm aware of. Actually, I highly doubt it's the atty you're tasting, unless you're letting it get dry and any atty will do that under that circumstance. Make sure you have a good cart filler that wicks liquid well to the atty. Also, the liquid itself could be the problem - you may want to switch brands.

Try cleaning the atty and changing the cart filler. What filler are you using? The polyfill that comes with the cart? If so, try the http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cartridge-mods/52430-ptb-straw-mod-ptb-made-easy.html mod or any of the other cart modsout there.

We are seeing a lot of reports about burnt tasting atomizers coming into me. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot. Even though I no longer use the 510, I ordered from 5 different Suppliers to see if this burnt taste is a global "hit or miss" problem or is a larger issue.

I will advise.

Interesting Sun. I haven't had a problem with burnt atomizer taste since I learned to modify my cart filler and keep the atty wet. I look forward to your report!

Kristin---the Expert's Forum is getting flooded with complaints from new members and my PM box is getting loaded with Vetern Compalints about these atomizers so I can only conclude that there is something afoot here.

I've tried every cart mod on this forum and still get a burnt taste after awhile. My attys work great so I hate to fool with them too much. I do blow them out regularly and tried cleaning one in Crest Mouthwash. When I do a dry burn I get a nasty smell coming off the wick. I just don't know how long I should do a dry burn before it damages the atty.

It happens after vaping for a long period and it's just gross! I can't get the taste/feeling out of my mouth!! When I change to a new atty it doesn't do it but my mouth is still ruined for the day.

Unless I can find a solution I'm concerned that this will keep me from vaping long term.

Now I only vape Tasty Vapor 10vg/90pg @ 24mg and the juice is very clear and clean tasting.
