Flavor issues between KR808's and Joye Ego's

[cherewine]

I have been vaping with a KR808 for a couple of weeks now (my first time vaping purchase) and have recently purchased a Joye eGo w/510 atomizer to try out. My question is this: Why do I get a more favorable vape when I use the KR808? With my eGo, I have tried using cartos, direct dripping, and filling carts for use with the atomizer; however, the result is still a real lack of flavor, but with great vapor! Also, I've been using a 50/50 mix and a 70/30 mix.

Thats a pretty common issue a lot of folks have reported the same thing. Only thing i can suggest is maybe trying out a magma 510 atomizer they seem to be the most flavorful 510 atomizers i have tried. Still doubt it will be the same as a 808 but it might help a little.

Thanx Java! Now...where would I find a magma 510? I've heard of 510 "mega" atomizers and cartridges, are they the same as what you are talking about?

My favorite atomizer is the M601XL or M301. It's similar in design to the 510 atomizers, but has a much better flavor. All the 510 atomizers I've tried have a kind of off taste, like primer, that never seems to go away no matter how much I use or clean them.

The KR8 runs at a slightly higher voltage which makes the flavor a little more prominent in some juices. Have you tried using a low resistance atomizer on your ego?

 

[cherewine]

No, I just got my ego a couple days ago. I was reading about the LR atomizers and the comments were that they died really quick. Have you heard this about them? I would hate to buy them only to have them last a couple days because they are rather spendy.

Are these compatible with the Joye ego?

I just got my Ego today with 510 cartomizers, so far so good

Cylinder Type B is an awesome atomizer for the eGo. They are huge and produce huge plumes of vapor. They gurgle but actually don't flood. I have yet to figure out why they do that but I have about 25 of them and they all do it. It doesn't bother me about the gurgling but I ususally get laughed at by other eGo users up until I have them take a toot. Then they want to know where to get them. MyFreedomSmokes sells them. Use coupon code smoke and it gives you 40 percent off all hardware.

Thanx Hairball!....sounded funny saying that! I just went to the site to check it out. Are you talking about the Joye ego Mega Atomizer (cylinder)?

magmas are put out by volcano ecigs. But i am pretty sure Bauway makes em for them. Bauways are sold by quite a few places Madvapes is one that comes to mind.

My concern isn't so much about the vapor plumes that I get because I am getting plenty of that with the 510 atomizer now. My issue is with the lack of flavor as compared to the KR808D-1 that I was (am still am) using. There is such a difference in the taste of the liquids between the two. I reallllly like my ego and want it to produce the same flavor as the 808. Maybe I need to just try out one of the low resistance atomizers ya think? If so, which one? I see a Bauway 510 that has 2.5 ohms on madvapes?

You could also, for cheaper, use an adapter on your eGo to go from 510 to the 808-D/901 and use those cartomizers and see if that helps get the flavor you liked.

I've been using the same 1.7 LR atty for like 8 weeks albeit I don't drip all the time but it still works, can't say the same for my ego though it killed my month old 650mAh ego battery yesterday.

That's one possible solution that I'm going to be trying. I already have an order in for an adapter from goodprophets. It'll look kind of silly with all the different colored cartos I have...but if it works what the heck!

OMG...that's what I would dread happening!....Think I'll just pass on that idea, LOL

Ok...went to that site and ordered some to try...couldn't pass up the great discount you gave me...makes it worthwhile for experimenting (which is the stage I am in at this time)....thanx again hairball

Not directly, but you can get an adapter that lets you use any 510 threaded battery on a M301/M601XL atty: 510 to M601 Adapter

All the 510 atomizers I've tried have a kind of off taste, like primer, that never seems to go away no matter how much I use or clean them.

Hi Folks, It's the --never seems to go away no matter-- part that I'm having trouble understanding. I've seen several posts like that so doubtlessly it's being experienced, yet most folks, including me, report just the opposite. I've certainly experienced the off taste, but cleaning always solves it for me. (for example) I have three Joye 510 attys that I've had for over four months. Using them with standard batts and a 3.7 volt passthrough, and carts, I used them for almost three months before I had to clean all three. When I finally did clean, I removed the few strands of silica from under the bridge, used a few drops of H2O2 to clean them and now they are performing good as new. I also removed the bridge on one of them for dripping, and I can't imagine a more 'clean' tasting vape than dripping provides. No wonders so many folks are big on dripping. I also clean or replace the poly in my carts, and I never get a taste from them, yet lots of people report that they do get an off taste from poly. Conclusion: Well, the only thing different is removing the few strands of silica from under the bridge. Very easy to do,and if you want to tackle it, this vid shows you how. Start it at about 5:15 as he takes a long time before he gets into actually removing the wicking material. YouTube - How to remove your Wick (Mod)

I've tried them at a variety of voltages (3.2, 3.7, 4.2 and 5), vaped at least a couple mL through them (dripping, no carts), cleaned them by forcing water through them with a syringe then dry burning, and tried removing the wick. No matter what I do they still have that slightly off taste.

Maybe it's the brands I've tried. I don't know.
