Inconsistent Vaping Experience on Joye 510

[Jenna]

I am starting to notice that my vaping experience varies from being good to poor and that the filler in my carts (polyfill) is slipping to far down in the cart, causing me to get a burnt taste, little vapor production and to have to nearly constatly fiddle with the carts, pulling up the filler...

How can I remedy this and get back to a consistant experience?
Should I change my filler to something else? What?

Last night I got so tired of messing with it that I started dripping into the atty instead and I like the results but I have heard that dripping is tough on the atty and will cause it to burn out faster than using carts, is this true?
I am putting two drops on the atty each time I drip, is this enough, too much?
Thanks guys.

I use the PTB cart mod. It's easy, search it on youtube.

Is it a old atty? Possibly starting to die. New atty..does it have the ring? They give me problems also. Polyfill old? Gets too hard, I replace it with Fluval after a while as the polyfill doesn't seem to wick for crap. Flooded out or gummed up. Blow it clean and see what comes out. Try them out to see if it helps.

Yes filler problems are a pain. Check out the forum, search for cart fillers or cart mods, a lot of people have different ideas. The most popular seems to be the Blue fish tank filter foam.

As far as dripping goes, I cant help you there because I don't do it but 2 drops sounds good. You can experiment, if the amount of drops you put in floods the atty you know what it's limit is.

The atty's (two) are a week old, I am getting the same results from both atty's which is why I think it's the carts and fill...
I have tried blowing them out and I am still getting the same results of the fill slipping down in the cart to the point that the atty can't get to the juice.

I will check out the PTB mod.

I've used the polyfill, ptb mod and the blue foam. Blue foam works the best for me, holds the most juice and you can clean and reuse them.

Check out HighPing's http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/70962-my-simple-cart-mod.html. I have heard good things about it. Just change the length of the cart polyfill and you should be good to go!

BTW, try this one first as it is the easiest to implement.

I just read that one today and have already refilled my cart twice. It works like a plunger, when the vapor starts to peter out and I take off the cart, the piece of filler is on the bottom.

WORKS GREAT!

I got tired of filling carts and never got enough vapor from them. Now I just drip and I find more satisfying. I have not noticed having any trouble with my atomizers. I have been vaping 11 months and have only loss a handful of atomizers.

I keep four 510's going at once and drip onto each one without a cart. This way I have four atty's with four flavors. As soon as the taste changes or vape goes down I either drip some more on or toss it on the charger or PCC. Seems to be working great so far.

i went to the ptb method and i dont get that nasty taste anymore. Im also upgrading the battery and getting the bigger cartridge. those dont last as long.

Same and not lost any yet. I use a PT, helps it run nice n hot - think that helps too. Dripping is awesome - unless you're driving ;-)

Have you checked out your plastic carts to make sure they are not being melted by the atomizer bridge??

Simple cart mod works well

Thanks for posting this ! I just gave it a try and like it so far

I got the cart mod bug within my first few days of vaping. I'm now over a month out.

I've done everything as well as most. I've found that the most hassle free method for me was to use the BFM (blue foam). Easy to use and reuse.

I'm still using the first two atty's that came with my 510 starter kit. No problem with either one of them. Vapor production, taste, it's all still very good. And all I do is blow out the atty when I'm going to change flavors. I do have spares, but I haven't even had to break the seal on the packages yet.

Long and short is the experience is a bit different for everyone. Some of us even think/thought that a certain mod seemed great at first, but the learning experience later told us that method wasn't for us so we moved on.

Good Luck and I hope you find your fix!

I use the BFM exclusively but still have to top off too much, Im a very heavy vaper, so I'm moving on to the kr8. Should be here tomorrow!!!
