Help! Noob with Joye 510

[pizza2me]

I started with Safecig. Wasn't too bad. But, not quite the menthol that I want, or the throat kick.

Seeing all the raves about the 510, ordered and just received a Joye 510 from TheVaporPro.

Came with the prefilled "high menthol" cart. Maybe first atom was DOA? didn't get anything. Moved the cart to the other atom and worked. But, I'm not impressed at all. Not the huge amount of vap and good throat hit I expected.

Any advice? I don't really want to get into dripping myself yet. Just want to get off of analogs FAST!

Are they better if you fill them yourself? Or same as prefilled.

Maybe I just need to try another menthol flavor.


HELP PLEASE!!!

Cant help you with the menthol bit. PV's are just a bit tricky sometimes. Everyone draws different every part combination gives a different feel etc. There are many DIY'ers striving for the perfect combination because the standard stuff just doesnt cut it for them in flavor, TH, vapor, etc.

First recommendation is to make sure you are not SMOKING your 510 like an analog. Think of it like a cigar instead of a cigarette. Puff till you see a wisp of vapor, mouth draw for a few seconds, inhale (careful this is where the throat hit should be), exhale thru nose (or mouth) I like exhaling through the nose cause I can see the vapor easier than if I exhale through the mouth. Dont know why it makes me feel better but it does, as I get more used to the experience I hope to no longer have to rely on visual clues and just enjoy my vape.

Takes a bit of getting used to and a lot of trial and error to find your perfect vape. Concentrate on making it work for you and try not to expect a complete replication of an analog. Every step you take should give you a better idea of what you need to get you there.

Only other suggestions
5V passthru ...... If you cant get a good throat hit off 5V I cant help you
Low resistance atomizer/cartomizer.............a bit iffy on a regular 510 especially on time between charges.

Always better to get some liquid and fill yourself. More control, cheaper, etc etc

Ho Pizza, welcome to ECF!

I suspect most of your issue is the prefilled cartridges. Do you have any juice? You could try refilling one of your cartridges and see if that helps.

Thanks to both of you. I'm working on the draw and it sounds like I'll need to get some juice. I thought I'd just go with the pre filled before investing more.

I need a good strong menthol (like Kool or Newport)

Do you tend to get more vap when you fill it yourself? Or is it about the same?

Thanks again!!!

I'm not gonna stop til I'm off the analogs for good!!

Dang, I see I said "Ho Pizza" rather than Hi. I really wasn't calling you a name. Promise.

I can't really help you with a menthol juice, but will tell you that you should try more than one type. I started with tobacco juices and soon found that what I like most are fruits, colas, and vanillas. In my head, it's better the farther away from real cigarettes I get, so that's what works for me.

I would start with some samples from a few places. There's a thread right now with a lots of places to get samples listed, I'll go get the link.

This is a great site, but dang! So much! I remember seeing things and then can't remember where. Need to bookmark more.

It is really overwhelming at first. It does get better. I still have trouble remembering where I saw a thread, they aren't always where I think they should be.

If you are looking for a strong Menthol taste you might want to try a Peppermint e-liquid. I actually like it ALOT better than the menthol. Just a thought. Good luck

Hey! Now my 510 is just flashing the LED when I press the manual switch! I'll look around to try and find what it means. But, if anybod know, please tell me.

And sorry for double post. Working from BB and still getting used to it.

Is greensmoke supoosed to be good vap? I've heard both good and bad. Or should I stick with 510?

Signing off. Have to be up at 4am. Hope to see some more great info replies when I check back.

Thanks!

Flashing means it needs to be charged.

Oh, and it's vape, not vap. Vape rhymes with ape.

In the end if it comes down to it you can get Menthol Crystals and add them to any flavor you want to I suppose. There are no end to possibilities around here. Menthol Spearmint anyone ???
