Joye 510-T system: my thoughts...

[0smitty]

Hey everyone;

So, I've managed to score one of those new "510-T" systems, which is basically a miniaturized version of the eGo-T tank/atty combo. Being the kind of person that loves the compact elegance of a small e-cig from time to time, I've been anxiously awaiting the day that something like this would come along. While I was expecting to be disappointed (as most of these new tank-oriented pieces of cutting-edge e-cig tech have the tendency to do), I am not.

Pros: This thing vapes like a champ...

-Phenomenal vapor output and flavor quality - I'm not kidding, either. The flavor reproduction is unreal! I've vaped on about every type and style of atty and carto, and this one really stands out in the vapor output department: TONS of THICK vapor.
-NO DRY HITS!!! Anyone who's played with an eGo-T or CE2 knows what I'm talking about. This item is the exception to the rule, as I've been vaping this thing HARD all day and have yet to have even the first implication of a dry-hit.
-Feels like you're vaping LR. Very warm vapor, comparable to the temp of a CE2. Throat hit isn't the hardest I've ever felt, but it beats the crap outta the eGo-T hands-down.
-NO LEAKS!!! This one's self-explanatory. Very nice to not worry about this one!

Cons:

-The carts just don't seem to hold enough. I can squeeze about 18 drops per cart, which is about the same as my normal Magma carts.
-I'm almost positive that this thing's a juice hog: I'm not sure if it's really using that much more juice or if it's the small size of the carts, however I'm sure changing tanks FAST. Guess that's the price you pay for so much vapor production, I suppose.
-At first, the draw seems a bit stiff...But after a while, you get rather used to it. Interestingly, different batts/connectors will increase/decrease this stiffness. For example, the draw is much stiffer on 510 auto batts, less stiff on the included Joye 510 Manual's, and greatly improved on my Inferno *with* cone installed.

There you have it, the short and skinny on the 510-T, as I see it. I can't wait to get me a Magma-T and some nifty smoke/black carts to match my black auto batts. For what it's worth, the kit I'm speaking of in this review is the one that LiteCig currently sells on their website for something like $50. Mine's the stainless steel one w/manual batts.

Hope this helps everyone!!

Thanks for the review!

So the flavor is good? I have an eGo T and although it makes great vapor, the flavor sucks. This little system may be worth it if it does not change the flavor.

Ive been wondering about this. I want to get one but I hear there are different types. Where did you get yours?

I agree with Osmitty. I was very surprised with the 510-T. Flavor and draw both very good. Works well on my Janty Stick (you have to add an adapter) and using my Ego-T batteries as well. Today I put it on my Maxi Roughstack. All's good.
The tanks hold.7 mil which depending on juice and your habits, will last a while. Some juices vape quicker than others.
It's much easier to fill the tank with a syringe BTW. It is small. The 510-T tank does seem very solid too.
I've had it for almost 3 weeks and still have only put 2 of the 5 tanks in "rotation" and both still look and perform as good as new.
When I am in the mood to try several flavors in a day, it's a perfect system. When I want to vape one flavor all day I'll use the Ego-T type B with the 2 mil tank. I bought 2 attys at the same time and both are still as good as new as well. I haven't had to clean either one yet and have been using them daily.
Zelphie...got mine at Litecigusa.

The one I have came from LiteCig. As I understand, it is a genuine Joye product, which likely explains the awesome build quality. Sadly, I'll likely be either (A) getting rid of this one or (B) leaving it in a drawer, as I'm one of those ....-retentive types that likes everything to match color-wise: gonna get me a Magma-T with smoke/black tanks to match my Magma batts...That would be hot.

I just got my 510-T atty and tanks yesterday. I do like this setup on my auto 510s. The only thing I disagree with is on the flavor..it does seem a bit diminished but not enough for me not to use them.

I don't know why they couldn't make that tank longer to hold more but I sure do like the convenience of them. I showed it to an older friend of mine last night and she was excited to see these. She likes her 510 but refilling cartomizers is so tedious for her at her age.

I wasnt too impressed with 510 T, and I wasnt with ego T either. Flavor does lack, and they are inconsistent to me. The biggest drawback with 510 T is the tank itself. There is no lip on the cart to pull the cap off, so your kinda stuck using some sort of tool, or a needle to refill. That is a HUGE drawback. I see revisions in the near future. BUT- the revisions done to the auto bat were spot on, and much needed. I think they will bring the auto bat back in full swing. So they arent all there yet, but I think will be nailed down within a month or two.

 

[Plooker]

Thanks for the review. I have two atomizers coming tomorrow and I'm very hopeful that this will be the solution for me. I do wish the tanks were bigger though

Didn't even realize this review was here...just posted mine.

I got mine from cignot which offers the color matched atomizers as well as clear, blue, and black tanks. I believe they are also genuine Joye, but cignot has branded the atomizers with a fat, metallic band were it connects to the battery. Looks pretty classy, especially with the "platinum" setup. I've had good experience with them so far and the shipping is fast.

Hmm this is the first time I've heard about this.

Tried the eGo-T and was not impressed. It seemed to kill the flavor of my juice and I got lots of dry hits. Really unsatisfying experience.

I've been looking for an alternative to conventional cartomizers for vaping on the go. I'll look into this if it's as good as you say it is.

My atomizers arrived today; been using them with a Mad Vapes 3.7v box mod on and off for most of the day.

So far? The draw's about the same as a regular cart, vapor production is good . . . haven't gotten any dry hits on it that people were reporting with the eGo-T. No leaks, no trouble with refilling. Flavor's an improvement over the regular filler carts, obviously. This is the perfect unit for a new vaper; it lowers the barrier-to-entry when it comes to use and maintenance.

On the down side? The cart doesn't hold much and lasts about an hour on moderate vaping. Not awful, but it means if you're going to travel you'll want to carry some pre-fills with you.

Otherwise I'm really pleased with it.

 

[nash076]

Having used it for a while, wanted to add . . . there's a LOT of condensation trapped in the cart. It's not leaking, and it's not spitting juice in my mouth, but there's a bunch of it.

Using mine for the first time today. I was on the verge of selling my 510 batts when I saw these and figured 'what the heck..." I'm really quite satisfied with this purchase. Great vapor output, flavor is lacking, but not so much as with an ego-t. While I like the longevity of the ego battery, I love the slim style of the 510. I have an infinity on order, but that will mostly be for home, car, and at the bar. I like the 510s for work., so I'm glad I can use them again. I have noticed a plastic type aftertaste, I don't know what that could be, but I'm going to pop in another cart and see if that rectifies the problem.

I've recently started using these with my megadolon at 3.7v and 5v.....definitely impressed with this. I've been a dripper ever since the first mods started coming out....but its extremely tedious to do this every 3-4 hits. With the 510-T i can take a good 15 hits until i have to refill again. I have experienced about the same amount of vapor like dripping but i no longer get any dry hits. The atty definitely maintains cooler than a reg atty obviously because its being soaked with juice.

Im so glad i bought one of these attys to give a try....no hassle and mimicks smoking real analogs more as i dont have to fiddle with these as much.

As far as the flavor, i actually noticed that it gives me more flavor with menthol. With other sweeter juices it seems like it masks it a bit.

For on the go, i would probably find a bottle with a really thin tip to refill the reservoir easily. Although i can still barely refill the reservoir with the regular sized tips that usually come with the 10ml bottles. So as far as traveling is concerned, this seems more hassle free than having to drip every few hits.

Here im hopeful that since this atty is always soaked in juice, it doesnt form crud and will last much longer than reg attys which usually last me about a month.

First impressions from me is an A+...only time will tell if they will truly replace dripping for me.

 

[Zelphie]

Lol, Im the same way. The colors have to match! They have got to look great

The one I have came from LiteCig. As I understand, it is a genuine Joye product, which likely explains the awesome build quality.

I'll add my 2 pennies to this review...LOOOVE it!! I bought the EGO-T when it first came out, liked it (still do) but missed my flavor....got the LR tank atties...much better, more flavor, more vapor...then I bought a 510-T for a friend, tried it out for her before she picked it up and FELL IN LOVE!! BETTER flavor, better vapor, super cool looking, comfortable...now I'm stalking the mailman till mine gets here. ALL equipment bought from Cignot-the best vendor around

I'll wager you ARE getting leaks, but you haven't noticed how it's happening, and that's why you are changing tanks so fast... Allow me to explain:

I have the bauway version of these, which are the same, except there's no hole at the top of the atty to allow the use of an auto batt. What I noticed happening, is the juice gets sucked in through the air channels and pools at the bottom of the mouthpiece, but it won't leak out the air hole in to your mouth.

I was changing my tanks quickly too...If you have a translucent tank, take a look at it after you've taken several hits off it, and you'll see what I mean if you look closely. I found a way to minimize the effect, but you will still get some minor leakage and wasted liquid.

First, when you insert a new tank, push it all the way in, then give it a a little twist. I find it helps create a better seal around the needle and the tank lid. Then, make sure you hold down that button for a few seconds to heat up the coil BEFORE you take a draw. This way, any juice passing through the atty will be vaporized, and very little of it will come through the air channels. It should really help you conserve your juice.


I'm still on the fence, although the love the tighter draw, and flavour/vapor production. Feels more like a cigarette draw. I may go back to smart carts though. They pretty much don't leak at all.

Here's an update . . .

Still working like a champ, no leaks, no problems . . . BUT . . .

Last night, it started turning the liquid BLACK. Ink black. I blew it out a bit, re-primed, and vaped some more . . . fine for a bit, but it blacked up quickly.

So I've switched out for a new one, cleaned out the old one and I'm letting it soak for a bit.

Is this gonna need more frequent cleaning? Or did I do a dumb somehow?
