After a 36 year 1 PAD habit, I have been smoke free now for 19 days thanks to my Joye 510 MANUAL, but my new found freedom from smoking cigs, has come with a learning curve and a scorched throat from the harsh hits. I've tried so many different mods & fillers, and thanks to this forum, this is what works for me...
I have modified my carts by taking out filler material,
I added 1/2" drinking straw (to hold up fluval) to cart
with two small "V" cuts on bottom edge,
I fill up cart almost to the top with juice,
and add 1/4" of fluval just on top,
then add more juice to top off & wet fluval.
I also add 1-2 drops of juice to atty if dry.
Look at the color of your new fluval after you've topped off with juice, and when it gets darker (bad taste) change to new fluval. If the atty fits snug to the battery, and fluval fills the top, it will not leak, and you will use all your juice without constantly topping off. Take 2-3 second easy drags, so as not to overheat the atty, then let go of the button and keep dragging 1-2 secs. for an even better taste & battery life! Always keep the atty wet without flooding. If it floods (gurgles) blow out atty from battery end. Also wipe out battery before charging (only makes sense). Also, I now like the round mouth pieces, because you can remove the end for cleaning. If you put a paperclip in the hole, you can easily pull the end off to clean excess fluid out.
Being determined to make this work for my throats sake, I then decided to take a chance by removing the 4-5 little wicks that stuck out from under the atty bridge. I couldn't see these at first, but they were apparent now. I carefully took them out with a flashlight & a very pointed tweezers. Some of them were burnt, maybe from my leaning curve, and smoking a dry atty. Once I removed these strings I have the best vape ever! No more harsh throat hit!!!
I'm getting some new attys, so I will see if the new ones cause the same harsh throat hit, or if it was only because I burnt them during my learning curve. I've read that some here automatically remove these strings/wicks, and others say that they have a purpose so don't remove them 'cause it may ruin your atty. IMO mine was already ruined so I took the chance. If you remove them pull gently so as not to break the bridge. It worked for me, and now I vape smooth clouds of sweet vaper! It was all worth it, 'cause I've made it this far, and have no intentions of turning back. I am so grateful!!!
