Isnt it supposed to glow red when you push the button? :confused:
As for the burnt taste - a few people have reported getting it - kind of scattered around hte forum though hard to link - maybe in ecig tech issues. you might find some reports you can look through.
Lots of theories abound; - user error, bad wicks (the actual wick not the filler, not wicking and burning carbon or manky old juice basically), filler getting roasted on the bridge producing bad smell of burning, bad batch of attys from Joye.
Theres a LOT of new users at the moment so it COULD be user error - but with so so many and a good few coming from non newbies it could be any of the above..or none of them.
SO far mine have been ok (bet Ive jinxed that now..) but my tastebuds can be erratic so I might not notice a burnt taste if it ran up with a sign saying 'I taste burned' and hit me over the head with it :)

Well, I'm glad I came back to this thread. It seems as though you need to drop eliquid on the atty before you start to use.

I opened up a brand new kit, put together the ecig...filled up the cart (fresh empty cart) then vaped on it for a bit. Then I took it off, and looked inside and it did the same thing (glow red). So what I did was, dropped a couple of drops of eliquid in there, and Woolah...it's fine. No burn't taste or anything. Pretty nice. I guess I will do some videos on the issue because I KNOW people are having similar problems....

Thanks for the help guys...made a big difference..

I don't understand. If it doesn't glow, how is it supposed to vaporize?

FWIW, I just got my 510, and didn't read the forums on it, didn't realize I should blow them out, and just vaped past the bad smell. It didn't last long at all. I did keep the stock carts topped off.

I don't believe I've used the second atomizer, so maybe I'll blow that one out before I use it.

Oh, you just never blew any new ones out. Got it.

Alright, I blew the new one out, got some liquid out. Hooked up to a fresh cart and fresh battery. I can't tell if there's a taste difference. I'm going to wait until my other battery is topped off, and see if there's a difference between the two atomizers.

Yes, I plan on ordering more. I just got these 3 days ago.

The sign of a good atty is that it does cherry when you hit the button! What you need to do is to drip 1 or 2 drops of e-liquid into the atty before you start vaping it. This is what is known as priming. Everytime you finish a cart and it is dry put a drop or 2 into the atty when you are filling the cart. Not too much or else you will flood it.

If the performance of your atty starts to diminish, blow out the atty onto to a napkin from the open end and excess juice will come out the bottom. Blow into the atty until the air passes freely. If after you do this your atty is still not performing properly, stand it up on end with the screw in portion on the bottom and leave it be for a day, the excess juice should run out the bottom.

Ok here's what's happening. The NiChrome wire is wound around a length of silica fiber(a braided rope, made out of sand/glass basically, built to stay together at really high temperatures instead of actually catching on fire like most cloth). The silica fiber's main job, regardless of what anyone tells you, is pretty much to make sure that the wire coil stays wrapped up and tight. If the wire gets too tight, or too loose, it will either short out and fail, or you will reduce the surface area for the juice to sit in which means less vapor production.
Now... the silica fiber won't catch on fire and completely burn away, but if it is completely dried out (eg you have a crack dry atty with no juice or primer fluid in it), the fiber will scorch and burn. Don't worry about burning the fiber, it will still keep its shape and do its job even if its all charred, but the TASTE of the burning of the silica is nasty, it will linger for a very long time, and if you do burn the fiiber it will take it much much longer to actually absorb juice a produce a good flavor.
There is nothing wrong with the atty coil glowing red hot, but too much of it can lead to the fiber drying out.
Perhaps you got a batch of atty's that did not have any primer fluid in them, and when you added fluid and vaped, the fluid did not have enough time to saturate the silica fiber and you BBQed the heck out of it.

The easiest fix to this is to just rinse out the atty, or clean it however you see fit, set it down for a day to dry, then drop 8 drops of juice in the atty and either let it sit down for a while to soak into the fiber, or start vaping it gently untill the juice actually permeates the fiber.
The fiber in the atomizers isn't like the junk we use on our clothes, or wash rags. It takes a very long time to actually soak up viscous liquids, eg E-juice.

Wow, and just think, I just warrantied about 25 atomizers over this issue. Woah, do I need to keep doing research. Ok, so now I know how to stop, and that I should keep on with the JOYE. The BE510's do not glow red at all. You can have the button pressed and see nothing glowing, but imho i think the BE510's are slightly better. Not just that problem, but it seems to be more satisfying. Anyone else have any luck with the BE510?
