I finally am able to try E-cig! The only one I found in my town was the njoy NPRO. We charged them up and started smoking. Well within 4 hours I was hardly getting any vape so I cahnged cartridges. That time it was hitting really good, I was loving it. Went to bed about 3 hours later woke up this morning, and it already seems like it needs to be changed again!!! No vape, I even give it a few primer puffs and still nothing! Its still fully charged! I am one of those who takes a few puffs and puts down, often. Did I get a dud? Or is njoy just crap, Or am I just doing something wrong? How do I know for sure its out? Any help you can give me would be awesome b/c all of this info is very confusing! Thank you!
 
Another 510 lover here, but just to be clear (and fair ;) ), ANY cart from ANY model will need refilled/replaced/topped off sooner than the manufacturer claims. Some just make more outrageous claims than others. No cart lasts the equivalent of a pack of cigarettes without topping off or refilling.

As much as I do love my 510, we know it's a big juice hog! :D

Grace, do you have any juice? If not, I'd suggest ordering some ASAP. I don't have an NJOY and have never tried one, but on my 510 I top off my cart about every 8 to 10 puffs.

I am new to this myself, just having started last Sunday. I also picked up an NPro because I just wanted to get going, and I experienced the same problems you did. From what I can tell there can be many reasons why it might stop working, and it seems that experience is the best way to tell what the problem is. Air flow could be restricted from getting fluid around the sides of the cartridge, and cleaning it may help. The atomizer could be flooded and needs to be blown out or cleaned. The cartridge could be running too low, which I am learning to detect by the taste of filler material. The battery switch could have gotten gummed up by getting fluid on it. I guess over time you learn and get better at using these things.

The first thing you want to look at is whether or not you are getting the tip to light up at all. If it isn't then I would guess your battery is not working correctly either because it is gummed up or it has for whatever reason gone dead.

If it is lighting up but you're still getting nothing, perhaps the cartridge is running too low. Or maybe the atomizer has gone out on you or needs to be blown out and/or cleaned out. If the draw has become very difficult, it could be an air flow problem.

Another thing you could try is removing the cartridge and try drawing with an empty cartridge. I found that I could get a few really good hits sometimes without the cartridge, which I am guessing meant the atomizer was getting a little flooded or something, but I'm not really sure. It also could have been an airflow problem I suppose.

Or you could do what I did after a few days of frustration, and order a 510 with a manual battery. In the end, that is the best advice I could give you after a whole whopping four days of using these things. I am still going to keep my NPro though, as I figure I might want to use it for dripping. Of course, a 510 with a manual battery is sealed, so it is a better choice for dripping in general, because you can't gum up the battery by getting liquid in it, but I figure I can drip pretty easily on the NPro atomizer because it is so big and I hopefully only need a couple of drops. I won't know until I get my liquid though, which will hopefully be today.

Hopefully someone will correct me if I got any of that wrong.

im sorry to hear that you are having problems with your PV, i also made a mistake in ordering something other than a 510 :D, but from what i can tell from your post you smoke similar to me, i take the equivalent of a normal cigarette every 3 hours (like 10 puffs) and the 510 batterie last me all day.
so it is perfect for me, even if you smoke a little more than me its ok because you get 2 bateries with your 510.

Hi Grace,

Sounds like your cart is dry. Mine seem to dry out overnight. Not just the NPRO, the 901 and the 401 too. Don't rush to buy another unit. Just get some e-liquid ordered and maybe an extra atomizer.
In the meantime, you can pick up another pack of prefilled carts for it. Then you will have them to refill.

Push the cart out of the mouthpiece with a paperclip through the little hole and you will be able to tell if it is dry.

Check some images. Your NPRO should be the same as the RN4081. Parts are interchangeable and cheaper. The NPRO gets a bad rap here. I have had mine for 9 weeks and it works better than it did when it was new. Original atomizer is still going strong.

This can be very expensive if you buy every unit that everyone says is the new "have-to-have". In April it was still the 901, then the 401, now the 510... and all the Mod models....
Take your time with the first one. In 2 weeks you might be building your own.
