First day vaping with my 510...atty getting hot?

[pepepecas]

Hello everybody again!,

Ths is my first day vaping, I received my 510 yesterday, and I decided to start vaping today. I still have a pack of my loved Marlboro Lights...just in case.

Until now, I've been doing ok. No withdrawal symptoms at all. No urge of lighting up an analog yet.

I noticed that I "vape" a lot more than what I smoke, is this normal? Basically I am vaping all the time...this is causing that the atty of my 510 is getting hot, and sometimes does not produce lots of vapor. How do you guys handle that? What's the "normal" period of vaping for you? Is this normal to the atty to get hot?

I am using some prefilled carts that I ordered with my 510 from cignot, but they are running out of e-juice right away and I am not getting a good throat hit as I always get with my Marlboro Lights. PLEASE give me some recommendations of where can I find some good e-juices. I really want some good throat hit and flavor. Right know they taste kind of awkward, but honestly I don't mind, I think is just matter of keep going to get used to the flavor, isn't?

Thank you for your advise

The atty on the 510 gets hot - its jsut the way it is - if you put it down for just a little bit (seconds even) it cools fast.
Now - the taste - how often are you topping off your carts, or switching carts?
I power thru a little cart reall fast, have to top it off a lot (ie almost everytime I pick the PV up, lol). I have to driect drip with my other atty because its partly blown (see another thread I commented in today lol) and direct dripping is pretty good - lots of taste vapor and hit. Just a lot more fiddly to do. Try that though - should work for you as your atty isn't completely dead, just..terminally ill lol. Switch attys out see if your other one works ok.
I have some more attys on order should come this week, my own fault for not heeding the 'make sure you have backups' advice

Hi - I just started vaping this weekend, as well. I am really impressed, in some ways, it is closer to the feeling of smoking than I thought it would be. Like you, it seems like the carts don't last very long. I ordered some blanks and juice when I ordered the ecig, and watched a video on this site, and filled my first cart. It really produced more vapor and a better hit, but I also ended up with a mouthfull of juice a few times (eewwww, not good!). I'm sure I'm doing something wrong and this is just a learning curve, but appreciate any advice.8-o

OK, my suggestions. First, I do just like you and vape continuously almost, but no analogs. The 510 atty will get toasty and more-so if you are running a little dry. There is a thin line between just right and flooded with atty juice supply. If you really want to get the benefits of the ecig then the best thing you can do right now is mod your cart. The easiest mod to do is this one http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/rhoneil/408-another-ptb-mod.html . It will make a world of difference in the vaping and will last a lot longer than the fiberfill carts. Your atty will run cooler. You can get the pyramid tea bags at Walmart or most Kroger stores. Welcome aboard. I'll probably get flamed for suggesting that a new person start on mods but this one is necessary.

Quickly, I can make one recommendation.

In between vaps (if you can hold out) a couple minutes
Set your 510 upright with the filter facing up so you can give it a chance to wick (allowing the juice to soak/weap onto atty).

Then get the Mod done to the cart.

Hang in there....you'll be fine.
