Having Problems and Need Help

[dleerl]

Nothing seems to be going right. I have a Joye 510 kit which just came in last Thursday and I am trying to make the switch. I bought an extra battery and I'm really glad I did because these batteries don't last long at all. It doesn't seem that I can get good vapor at all, even drawing slow. Sometimes it's because I've flooded the atty but then I'll blow it out and even after that it still doesn't seem to work too well. I've even gone to the other atty and that doesn't seem any better either. Could it be the juice? I got it from awesome vapor. I don't know what brand they carry. But I am getting so frustrated with the whole thing. How many drops should fill a cartridge? I pull the wick part way up when I fill it and then use a paper clip on the side for air bubbles and then push it part way back down. I read that was what you are supposed to do.

How long are these batteries supposed to last? If I lit it much, it wouldn't go more than an hour. They are such a disappointment. Is this the norm?

Can anyone tell me what is going on or what I can do. I'm about to go out and buy some cigarettes and I really don't want to.

Wow..I do not know what to say. I have the very same 510's I got months ago and they work awesomely. How much juice are you dripping or are you using carts? You have to be very careful of over filling carts. If the juice gets to the battery it'll kill it.

dleerl, are you using auto batteries, or manual?
How much juice are you putting in the carts?
Were you getting good vapor/throat hit when you first started?
Are you taking slow,not pulling too hard, drags? Quick hard pulls like you smoked an analog aren't as efficient on a 510.
More detail, you'll get better answers.
People here will be more than willing to help you make it work for you!

Manual batteries.

I put about 10 drops in a cart. I do draw slow. How many drops are you supposed to put in a cart to fill it. I will use an empty cart and start over if someone will just answer that question for me.

 

[420GypsyGirl]

10 drops? I normally put 3 or 4 and one on the atty and it is good to go. 10 seems like a lot.

Sometimes it depends on the juice your using for the amount of vapor you get. I seem to get more vapor with one juice and more TH with another juice.

I fill my cart till it pools and that usually works good for me. Is your atty getting hot? or at least warm? Take the cart off and heat up the atty for a few seconds. Does it sizzle? Do you see any vapor comming off it?

 

[dleerl]

How long does that last you? I was reading in another thread just today and they put in 10-14 with the blue foam.

It gets bright red in a second.

Don't pool the liquid on top of the filler. Try the Pyrmid tea bag filler, it works awesome for me. Also, I think flooding the atty will shorten the battery life. Good luck.

 

[jennlsnoopy]

If it's bright red in the atty and not vaporing you might need more juice. The atty might be too dry. Try putting one drop on the bridge of the atty and see if that helps.

Sounds like the atty may be clogging. Does your atty do a bit of the "gurgle gurgle" noise when you draw on it, or sizzle/pop? If it's more like gurgle gurgle, maybe blowing out your atty could help. put a paper towel over the end that the cart attachs to, and blow through the battery hole on the other end. Blow enough times until no more juice is hitting the paper towel.

You should be getting more than an hour from manual batteries also. Are you leaving the button pressed after you quit drawing/pulling? Unless you are just power vaping for an hour straight.

 

[dleerl]

Thanks for that info on the batteries. I just took and cleaned the bottom of the atty and all the batteries with alcohol and dried them. Maybe with some luck I won't flood them anymore and hopefully the charge will last longer.

It's starting to vape better. I took a new cart that's prefilled. I had washed the filler in the other carts so that I could try other flavors and the fiber wasn't as puffy. This cart seems to be working better. I think I need to buy some of that blue foam. Where do I get it?

 

[RedZone]

I'd recommend Tasty Vapor, but they are out of tobacco flavored product.
Somebody will pipe in and help you out. I don't vape tobaccco flavors

I really like the dulcis which is a tobacco carmely flavor very good and ive herd the exotic tobacco is very good both from vaportalk.com. Other then that I have not had any other tobacco flavors. The shipping was fast to about 2-3 days to ohio.
