Leaving it in the charger is not a problem - it automatically cuts off when charged. If its getting hot then the battery is good and the atomizer is working. So you must not be getting juice from the cart. Did you fill the cart with juice or are you using a prefilled cart? And are you sure you didn't put a blank cart in? A blank cart has the filler in it but with no juice. It could be that the atty needs some help. It could be either flooded (if you dripped too much juice on it - in which case, drain it) or it is dry, in which case, I would drip a few drops on it and 'huff' the ecig a bit - a series of quick draws as if you're trying to keep a fire going in a pipe or cigar, not inhaling just draw and puff until you get some vapor going and if you do you should be able to start inhaling as usual.

If you hear gurgling or see marked reduction in vapor its a good sign your atomizer is flooded. Get used to it the 510 floods constantly.

No, the atty doesn't flood any more than any other model atty. Proper usage is as important in the 510 as any other model.:rolleyes: Atty flooding isn't a model specific problem, but a user specific one.

If the atty gets flooded you can use an eye dropper to suck the overage out and put it back in the bottle. No waste.

Do you folks use "canned air" to blow out your atty or just blow thru both ends with your mouth? (which is what I've been doing). I have some new attys that will need to be broken in and not sure how to treat them. Some say to wash them out with H2O to get rid of the primer and some say just drop some oil on the bridge and heat it up. Just curious.

You truly love to argue, don't you? You know I debated with myself over whether or not to use the word constantly for this exact reason. Regardless, I've used models that don't flood nearly as much as the 510. User error? Possibly. But, I'd like to consider myself at least proficient at this vaping thing after a few months of constant use. It's not rocket science.

On air - I've used both but pretty much blow them out with my mouth. I soak in 151 vodka or everclear to clean primer fluid then add pg to the atty bridge - seal in ziplock. I'd likely never use oil.

I think I agree, but, knok on wood my 510 atty has not been flooded in the three weeks I have been vaping. I think if you use good common sense that it can be minimized..
