If you're not getting vapor, you're either out of juice or out of juice (battery ;-) or your atty is dead. Sometimes, rarely really, I have to kick start an atty by smoking it like a pipe or cigar, like you're trying to keep it lit or getting it burning better - draw, draw, draw, open your mouth a bit, draw in some air, then clamp down and give it a big draw and inhale. Keep the button pressed down when doing this. Do that a couple times and if that doesn't do it, it's one of the above.... dead batt, no juice or dead atty. It that works then you can go back to regular draws....

new atties need a little break in time(and time to get the primer taste gone), prefilled carts sometimes come a little dry,
LOOK UP THE THREAD"INCREDIBLE 510 CART UPGRADE" AND follow those instructions, then post back, hopefully this helps ya

In my experience if you're kick starting like I described you can hit it too hard, keep that up and if it ain't broke it will come alive. Oh yeah put a few drops of juice on the atty too as well as filling the cartridge. Should have said that at first. This shouldn't be a common thing with the 510 so if it continues, I'd send the atty back. If there was any warranty at all or just contact the vendor and ask what to do.

It may be your atomizer. I had the same problem with my M401 when I first got it. I was getting very little vapor. I tried dripping, changing carts, changing batteries, but no joy. I had purchased 2 kits and 2 spare atomizers, so I tried another atomizer. Same problem, very little vapor. Eventually I tried a 3rd atomizer and - boom! - huge clouds of vapor. It was odd that I got 2 bum attys in a row, but these things are made in China after all. That's why I buy 2 kits at a time and spare parts when I get a new model. If you don't have any spare attys for your 510, order a couple of spares, preferably from a different supplier than you got your kit from (to try and get a different production run). Of course, you could just return the kit, but there's no guarrantee that a replacement would be any better and you may as well get used to buying spare parts. It's part of the deal if you use a PV. With all the new taxes, it's still cheaper than analogs.

BTW, I also have a 510, but I never had a problem with producing vapor. If the 510 has any flaw it is that it has to be topped off so often. It will really go through the juice!

There are two other things that could interfere - one the atomizer/cartridge isn't screwed tightly to the battery or there is gunk in the connection from the battery to the atty. I'll let you figure the first one out ;-) but for the second, I take a quetip and 'screw it into the battery making sure you're cleaning the threads too. Just don't catch one of those grooves in the battery brass casing. Sometimes I take Everclear with the quetip but then dry that out and make sure there is no 'fuzz' from the quetip left. You could also twist a paper towel and do that.

IOW, both the battery and atty are working but they can't connect or are poorly connected.

Also when something 'odd' happens, if you have another whole ecig that is working properly, check each part of the bad one on the good one to determine what might be the part that has the problem.
