I'm sucking on a cardboard milkshake

[crazyjanie]

I was so excited to start my Joye 510 which I purchased from Cignot last night.; I loaded it with my prefilled Marlboro high cart, followed the directions about adding juice to the atty and even added extra juice to my cart ( vg 6mg USA mix).First of all I feel like I've been sucking on a tastless milkshake since last night. Also I'm not seeing "clouds" of vapor! I must say I'm somewhat disappointed but I'm trying to stick it out. Can anyone tell me what's going on and hopefully it's a juice problem.Please recomend a decent juice!! I'm not much of a sweet tooth-I'm more of a hazelnut, coffee kind of person.I smoked Virginia Slims lights. What is this "throat hit" everyone keeps talking about? I haven"t felt one yet!

so , you're using cartomizers? if so, how long have you been using the one that you're using? I've had stiff draws from using VG before, the carto needs to be cleaned, or you've got a seriously thick mix of juice. The carto could be dead, seeing as how "Nothing" is happening it sounds like, so maybe use a different carto or atty.

Don't think it's a cartomizer since it said: I loaded it with my prefilled Marlboro high cart, followed the directions about adding juice to the atty

You are talking about a three piece? And you are saying you put some the new liquid in the prefilled cart and some on the atty? Then you "even added extra juice to my cart?"

You may very well have flooded the atty then. But if it is working, and it's just tasteless than that is another thing.
1. It could be your taste buds---they are dead from smoking if you just started vaping.
2. It could be the liquid itself. I've had few that were pretty blah.

I can only suggest you try something different and get double the flavor the next time.
To save what you got, you could add more flavoring---if nothing else you'll see if YOU DO NEED STRONGER FLAVORS.
I know I've had to go the stronger route.

Another possibility would be your inhale technique? I've read a few people mention that you shouldn't try puffing on it like an analog. Slower, longer draws might help if you're not already doing that.

Call vicky up. she is very thorough about her products. it may just be that you need to blow and rinse the atty out. it may have primer in it. if that is the case, you need to let it dry before trying again. you may have an atty that is a dud, or you may be puffing to often and not allowing the juice to wick. And the flavor may be the wrong one for you. I can't really think of more without knowing more about your vaping technique etc. Bottom line, you should be getting vapor!

This. Also, I press the button for a couple of seconds before slowly inhaling, which gives you more vapor. I also agree that you may have added too much liquid.

Is it possible that you over filled it? You may want to try blowing out some of the juice and see if that helps.

Is it gurgling when you take a draw on it? Is it a cartridge or cartomizer that you filled? Maybe you overdid the juice a bit if it's a cartomizer. You can pop the white stopper off the top, roll up a piece of tissue to get out the excess then throw that away. Blow lightly through the cartomizer holding a tissue at the threaded end to catch the excess. Put the tip back on and take a long, slow draw. There's a sweet-spot you'll get to when you have just the right amount of juice in your carto. Hang in there, you'll get it!

Are you using auto batteries or manual? If Auto be extremly careful not to overdo it and get any down in the battery. One drop can fry it. I'd certainly get in touch with Vicki either by phone or email. She's the greatest and fastest in customer service I've ever dealt with.

If you like a "nutty" flavor like a hazelnut there are a few 555s out there that are great. Vaping one right now that tastes like the hazelnut in coffee but without the coffee flavor.

If you use a cartomizer, you don't need the atty. Just screw it into the battery and you're all set. The throat hit we all talk about is the feel you get in your throat when taking a drag off it. Some juices or e-cigs don't give you any feeling that you're getting a hit off it and others give you a good strong feeling. Without the TH (throat hit), to me, it's just not worth smoking it.

If you use a cartomizer, you don't need the atty...

Also, if you're using a cartomizer, then 100% VG juice will not work very well.

Yes, it is gurgling upon draw and it's a cartidge- not a cartomizer. Any suggestions?

A few seconds after you push the button, if it's a manual, you should hear the snap-krackle-popping sound. This sound let's you know the Atty is working properly. If you don't hear that sound than there is a problem. The problem might be that the atty is flooded or dead or the juice isn't wicking. The gurgling, as mentioned before, means that there's too much juice it's flooded. What sound do you hear when you push the button on the 510?

Edit:"Yes, it is gurgling upon draw" possible too much juice is the problem.

Most likely you have flooded it. Take the atty off the battery and blow on both ends---over a paper towel.

What they said.

 

[crazyjanie]

That's exactly the way I feel! Any suggestions on what will give me a decent TH?

Look for a juice with a higher PG content, something like a 70/30 PG/VG or an 80/20. It's the PG, nic level, and flavor that deliver the TH. Since I wouldn't suggest upping the nic, only do that if the current level doesn't kill the craving for analogs, then I would up the PG and try something with a kick on the flavor. Cinnamon has the hardest kick, in my opinion.

Edit: if you like a good strong coffee that doesn't have a nutty flavor that try "Maiden Coffee" from gourmet vapor. It's a good strong coffee that doesn't taste burnt. Always buy small sample bottles till you find what you like.

Get a box of boge cartomizers and try the tobacco sampler from Vapor Station.
