I would have posted this elsewhere, but I am unable to until I reach my post requirements. I purchased a Joye 510 Starter kit in February and for the most part, atomizing is far greater than smoking. I've cleaned, dried and maintained all the pieces as well as possible on a regular basis. The weird thing that has happened however, is today, as I was actively vaping, all the vapor stopped coming through. I figured it died prematurely, shrugged it off and switched to the other atomizer that came in the kit, (Unused up to this point). I was able to take about five or so drags before that atomizer died. I came to the forum to find an answer to the problem but only found methods of cleaning or completely taking it apart. I Have now boiled them and am waiting for them to dry. If anyone has any recommendations, I'm up to listen. Thanks a lot.

I found the 510 atomizers to be a bit finicky, in that if you starve them, they dont put out the vapor... and if you drown them, they overheat FAST, as there is no air passing over the hot parts, what you are sucking in is air leaking around the atomizer/cartridge section... I also found that a starved/flooded atomizer will drain a battery FAST as well... also, depending on how many batteries you have, the batteries may be starting to show signs of depleting quicker than they should... I have 4 batteries that I rotate in and out all the time, and 3 atomizers... I plan on ordering a few more very soon. Also, the 510 atomizers can have a DOA/fatality rate, so make sure you buy from a good, reputable dealer, not just looking at price. I know InnoVapor I've never had a DOA item, and the batteries even came charged... makes me think they 'test' everything before shipping etc.. I know, a lot of info, but you have aone of the better/more common e-cigs out there, and a lot have a lot of success with them...

you could test the batterys and addys with a multimeter if you have one to check what part is failing.


No multimeter, but after cleaning and drying, I plugged them in and neither produces any heat. I guess it's time to order a few more. Unfortunately I'll probably start smoking again as I wait for the replacements.
