Juice in the mouth

[Andromeadae]

Using a joye 510, checked the atty for extra juice, nothing came out, the cart almost looks like it needs filling, but yet I am consistently getting juice on my lips with the inhale, what am I doing wrong?

I dont mind it so much if its cinnamon or vanilla flavor, but tobacco flavors are nasty tasting on the lips.

Help!

Bit of a newby myself so take this with a grain of salt but are you tilting the cig past parallel to take a puff i.e. pointing the "lit" end to the ceiling?

You will always get a small amount of condensation on the tip of your cart, I'm assuming you're not talking about that.

Once you get a mouth full of juice, the little reservoir in the end of your cart is now flooded with juice and you have to get it out of there or you will keep getting juice in your mouth. The tip will pop off if you stick a paper clip in the hole (that you suck on) and pop it out, drain out the excess juice and you should be good to go. Be careful in the future to not overfill the cart or flood the atty. If you do flood the atty (you'll get a gurgling sound when you draw), just blow it out into a paper towel until no more juice comes out.

Hope this helps!

No to be honest if anything the tip is probably lower then the cart end if anything. I try to keep it parallel most of the time but I know there are times when its pointing down more then parallel.

Evidently I am not very good at determining when/if I am over filling the cart. I usually dont start to put any more drops in, unless 1: I am getting that burned taste, or 2: I am not getting (consistently) very good flavor and vapor. I have the "straw" mod in most of my carts, and I fill until it looks like the blue filler is "slushy", if there is any pooling I dip in a paper towel to wick out the excess, but its weird, because I could be vaping along no problems, and all of a sudden I will start to get juice on every puff. Here lies my confusion. Why was it ok for awhile and now suddenly not??

Did you cut a slanty bit into your straw?

 

[Andromeadae]

Yes bottom end is slanted

I poke a toothpick down one side to get any air out - that seems to help. I do get 'taste' on the lips at times but not actual juice (the ouch burny feeling) so I figure thats just flavored condensation. I have whistle tips tho not round ones - have you emptied the cart out and rinsed it, dried it and tried again? SOunds like juice is getting stuck somewhere that its not being vaped (so, far from the atty) and thats why its backwashing.

I just take my filling out put about 8 drops in then ever so slowly put the filler back in then a couple of drops on top and good to go. If you overfill pull the cart out and blow through the mouthpiece end into a tissue and wipe off the excess. Also before you put it back on blow out the excess in the atty. You should be good to go. remember to puff slow and long it's different than smoking.

Well, I only tried the straw mod briefly and did have probs with juice in the mouth. I swtiched to the blue foam plug, and been vaping away happily ever since!

I use a straw under the plug with a slanty bit cut out of the bottom of the straw. The straw is just a small stirrer straw, there to support the foam plug. It takes some experimenting to get the length of the straw and the size of the plug right, but once you get it it's golden.

You can do the straw/plug method with standard polyfill, but it doesn't work as well as the blue foam, IMO.

I'm not positive because I just did this but I think drilling out the mouthpiece is an answer, this is for direct dripping though.

Do you have an auto or manual battery? Do you have a cart mod? What juice are you using?

 

[Andromeadae]

manual batt, straw mod, blue filler, juice is pg (i assume, as it doesnt say on the bottle, 18 mg)

I am not sure about the "plug" thing, will have to look into that.

Just because someone named something else the 'straw mod' - I have to ask which straw mod? This one:
http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/tips-tricks/11421-cart-mod-better-refilling.html

And if so what are you using for a straw? The reason I ask about juice was to find where you got it. Some juices are known to be thin. And by blue filler - are you using the filler as is outlined in the straw mod above? IOW, cutting it to leave some room for the diagonal cut of the straw?

Sorry for the questions but 510 manuals are notorius for NOT getting juice in your mouth IF you aren't overfilling, over dripping and using some odd type of mod or thin juice.

The juice and blue foam cartridge filler are both from strictlyejuice.com

I use the cheap blue qtip's for the straw.

The cart mod link wouldnt open for me, but I assume that is what I am using.

I got it. You Are using the original straw mod and the only possible thing I could think of is IF your qtip shaft is too large. I use J&J safety swabs and they work just fine. Try filling up the cartridge again to where it's moist on top and just turn it over and see if anything leaks out. shake it a bit even. When I do that nothing comes out and I'm using the same as you except, I'm only using the blue foam as a plug - about 1/4 inch of foam on top and the rest of the cart well is filled with juice.

Unless there's some breach in the cart well - there are some cartridges that have a floor that can be removed - then I don't see why you should be getting juice in the mouth. Blow out the cart from the mouthpiece end, into a paper towel, there's obviously some liquid in the air channels. And start over and again, no overfilling. If you drip - only use 2 drops on the atty bridge and keep the ecig tip down to start and see how that goes. There simply are only a few ways that this can happen and it seems like you've covered everything.

One other possible thing is that you're covering up the air intakes on the junction between the batt and the atty to where when you draw it's acting like a straw and you're drawing juice from the cart right around the corner to the air channels and then into your mouth - but I would think that you'd 'miss' the the air intakes occasionally. So that's not likely the case.

Ty very much Now the whole cart doesnt have to have the filler? That is interesting, might have to try that.
