Going through E liquid too fast

[Jak11d6]

Alright so i've been vaping for about 4 months now. I've done a lot of research on how the E-cigs work and everything. I have a problem though. These past 2 weeks i have been going through my e-liquid way too fast. I have a Joye-510 E-cig with a manual battery. I usually fill the cartridge with 3 drops and then put 2 drops on the atomizer. This used to last me about 15-20 drags before it started going dry. now i'm having to drop that same amount for only 8 or so puffs before it goes dry. I'm confused because if my atomizer was going bad, i would see a decrease in vapor production and i would start seeing the liquid come out of the vape hole without atomization. But neither is the case. If anybody is experiencing this same problem or has any advice I would appreciate it.

You have been filling those little cartridges for 4 months?Surprised you have not upgraded to something more convenient. You have patience... as long as your not smoking cigarettes, going through juice fast shouldn't be an issue for how healthy your gonna be! I'm sure you spent 10 times as much on analogs than juice.
Peace

My advice is to get some cartomizers. Most peoe prefer them and they are alot more consistant and hold a lot more juice so you can refill alot less often.
An atty plus cartridge can be inconsistant and the cartridges can randomly dump half the juice into your mouth. They don't hold alot of juice at all and honestly I'm pretty surprised you went 4 months without wanting to destroy them. Personally if I had to add more juice every 10-20 drops, I'd want to pull my hair out. That's not much more then how often youd have to add juice if you were dripping, and at least dripping gives really good flavor.

I would get some Boge 3.0ohm cartos and I think you'll be alot happier. They hold 1.0-1.2ml of juice so it will be a big difference from how you constantly have to add juice now.

Jak, your problem may be lung capacity. You likeley are hitting your vaping stride. Think back to when you began... could you take a seven second draw? I know for a fact I could not. Most likely you are really comfortable with vaping and you also vape considerably more than you smoked. Many factors from the outside can be seen as variables, while from the inside they just are. I doubt you have failing equipment causing this but if anything were suspect I would have to point to the filler material in your carts. Over time they do begin to "let go" and stop actually holding as much capacity as they once did. Hope that helps you narrow it down. Good Luck. Happy Vaping.

Ha Bigmike I didn't see the post until I posted mine, but I was thinking the same thing. You have way more patience than I do jak, I think I would have thrown them out in a week and either got something better, and if I couldn't, I prob would have gave up on ecigs altogether.

Do yourself a favor and get some Boge 3.0ohm cartos. Make sure you get the standard resistance ones (3.0ohm) becuase the 2.0ohm Boges are low resistance and low resistance cartos are only for bigger battery PVs

I have to agree that it could very well be lung capacity and a settled vaping style. I haven't been at it as long as you, but I've definitely noticed my pulls are much more productive. I've upgraded my daily PV, but I did bring out and charge up all my 510 megas yesterday and used them . . . and what a difference from when they were my only system!! I would imagine you're just getting a deeper, fuller vape these days.

If that is the case . . . congratulations on healing lungs!!!!!!!

LOL I thought about this and then thought back to how long a puff was for me on an analog. Grabbed my ego and took an "analog" puff so to speak. Now I can officially say I've come a long long way in vaping lol!!

The deeper vape sounds plausible... I am a big lung kind of guy with crazy capacity even after nearly 40 years of smoking and knowing they are severely diminished now (working on it now by keeping the smoke out) and can suck down some juice. Dragging and a DiY waffle right now that is something else. Using a 1100 eGo type battery with a ECHO E dual coil cartomizer from Northwest Vapors that took 90 drops to fill without a drip out the bottom and look great on the eGo batts... think I will be enjoying this some more in the morning At $3 for these cartomizers and a 3 ml capacity I think I have given up on tanks just two weeks in with the $7 price tag per on them and two dead ones with no vendors offering wicks to be able to rebuild them.

Sorry I know you mentioned using a 510, as others have mentioned maybe try some cartomizers for them, my wife uses a 510 and really likes it. Same thing with that though with $7 tank atomizers but even cheaper cartomizers at about a dollar each, of course they dont hold as much or vape as warm as my setup but they last quite awhile between fills for her.

4 months on a 510, atty and cart. Are you a saint? I've never know anyone to have that much patience. Now that you've saved a boatload of money not buying analogs, treat yourself to a good VV mod and find out what vaping can be.

...+1 to what these and others have posted...if the carts doit for you, great BUT, do yourself a favor and get some 3ohm cartos...they'll hold 20-30 drops and last ya a couple of hours before needing topping up......

get a higher nic content liquid

 

[Propperimprint]

cancel that. didn't read the post very well.
You should probably be puttin gmore liquid into the cart anyways.
putting that few drops just doesn't seem like enough
also, maybe try direct dripping

wow. you are totally right. I vape constantly now and when i first began it was way to harsh to even take a 3 second drag. now i take 7 second drags and then immediately pull it into my lungs and do another drag. Or as i like to call it, a double puff. My carts probably are going bad too. I actually didn't know that cartomizers were refillable so i will probably get some of the ones suggested above. thank you for your help!

 

[denali_41]

i am thinkin you are taking a longer puffs now as opposed to when you first started
when i first started,,could not puff long enough to make the ego batt flash,,now i can do it with no problem what-so-ever !!

 

[DaveP]

You should also be able to use the Boge 2.5 ohm cartos as well as the 3.0 ohm. I think the standard 510 atty is 2.5 ohms.

 

[Jak11d6]

Alright thank you EVERYONE for helping me. I guess my research didn't inform me as well as i had thought. I thought that cartomizers only lasted like a week and you had to throw them out. refillable, yes but i thought that the atomizer inside was cheap so i stuck to my cartridge and atty. So someone please shed some light on this. I would like to keep my cartridge and atty separate as a personal preference but is there a better type of cartridge that would hold more and keep me from refilling every ten seconds? Or am i completely wrong about the cartos? I saw some of these things that looked like they dripped the liquid onto the cotton and had a storage spot for the liquid but couldn't find the name and didn't know if they had some compatible for the 510 series. Any info is appreciated!

in case you want to stay with a cart and atty... the poly in the cart should be pretty damp, but not soggy. I currently use a clear tank cart. it holds a lot more than a cart- I do have to fiddle with it a little bit, sometimes move the poly around to help it wick better, but nothing like a regular cart. this clear tank cart does NOT need a special atty, just a regular 510 atty. several vendors carry them - I use the one with a cup with 2 holes. like this:
BreezEsmokes - Premium Electronic Cigarettes

 

[BIGROG1982]

I had the same problem when I started. I noticed 2 things after a while, 1 the poly fill was getting hot and it was getting hard and not absorbing the liquid. 2 I could vape alot more after my lungs got use to it and or healthier. Hope this helps

 

[pfaber11]

atomizers are great for dripping and used correctly can last for months and that's at 5v . dripping only takes seconds and is way quicker than rolling a roll up. best of luck whatever you decide. would agree on the cartridges though.

 

[lap1026]

As far as equipment I was thinking it might be the filler, too. But you really should consider either dripping or using a cartomizer or both depending on the situation, which is what I've found works for me.
