Is it working?

[Kate S]

I just got my 510 manual this morning, charged it for 4 hours. I'm getting some vapor, but nothing like the big clouds I've seen on youtube and I don't feel anything on my throat. Tastes kinda flowery. The atomizers feels warm/hot. I ordered marbelo high cartridges but no juice ( Iusually smoke marlboro reds). How do I know if it's working/ what am I doing wrong? It is very dry hear right now (about 8% humidity)- is that why I don't see clouds of vapor?

The cartriges that come with the kits are garbage. You'll need to get some decent juice to get good vapor/flavor. You can pull out the poly filling in the freebie carts and rinse them out with water, or you can drip liquid directly onto the atomizer (no more than 3 drops at a time - about 6-8 good puffs worth).

There is also a break in period for 510 atty's. Usually a day or 2 until they really come to life. Definately get some liquids for refilling.

If you don't have any juice push down the filler and squeeze the juice to the top, then pull the filler back up into position. I hope that helps. I had one cart with one hit only and thats what my manual said it had.

definitely a breakin period. Just keep hitting on it, it will come around
And definitely try something other than the stock carts....that filler is crap

Thanks! For juice should I choose high or extra high? I smoke 6 marlboro red 100s a day right now (put out after a few puffs them smoke later), so I think I'm expecting a pretty good buzz.

I removed the filler from one cartridge and wrung it into another with tweezers, that helped a bit.

Kate S: You most likely wont get that "buzz" you got from an analog, I have only gotten that after an hour session at ultra strength (36mg) juice. And it really wasnt the same buzz as from a cig.

I know that sounds kind of bad, but I dont miss the "buzz" in fact im glad I dont get it anymore. I enjoy the Throat Hit and vapor more than any nic buzz I use to get.

As far as strength, I would suggest 18-24mg to start out with. order a bottle or 2, try that out, see if it works and adjust from there in strength.

So I guess the sensation of vaping vs analogs is like bbq vs grilling: slow and low vs fast and hot? I'm just gonna keep puffing on these crap filters that came with the kit and hope I can cut back even more when I get some juice and break in the new attys. Thanks for all the help guys!
