Just got my first e-cig in the mail today! (TITAN 510)

[DapperDan]

I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Unfortunately though, my liquid hasn't come yet! I'm stuck with the carts that were delivered with the 510. I get the feeling that the pre-filled carts that ship with the e-cigs don't last long at all. I've been vaping for about 30 minutes...not constantly...taken about 30 drags and the cart already looks to be drying up. The vapor production has also tapered off...still getting vapor, but not anything near the first 10 or so vapes.

Is this normal with the prepackaged carts?...or should I expect this from now on?

Anywho, I just wanted to express my joys with someone...my girlfriend doesn't really give a dang...although she did grab my .... just now...

By the way, the 510 rocks!

Generally speaking the stock carts don't feed liquid that well.

Lay the PV down for a few minutes and then give it a try again... see if the production picks back up. If not, try setting the PV vertically with the battery down. Give it a few minutes and then try again. (Some people even tap them on a table or flick them like a thermometer).

If any of these tricks work for you... you can either slow down with your vaping, allowing the cartridge to catch up... or look into some of the "mods" that improve liquid wicking.

Love my Titan, great piece of kit.

As for the pre filled carts, you should get a full day out of the 5x high nic ones that come with your kit (I did), my juice order came the day after my kit, so I got lucky). Just cleaned out the other 5 lower/zero nic ones then next day when I got my juice.

If you haven't already done so, make sure to get a 5 pack of attys and a spare battery or two...a USB passthrough is also a smart purchase if you spend any amount of time at home/in front of a computer. A PCC is a good buy if you do a lot of traveling or are out of the house a lot.

It's got to be the stock ones. I've tried the things you've mentioned...It's weird though, not that much vapor, but still a decent throat hit.

I'm definitely going to try some of the mods. I think the first one I'll try will either be the straw mod or the brass screen mod...like the screen one...nothing but liquid under there!

Yes it is! I love mine so far!

Good to know I should get a full day out of 5 carts.

I did indeed purchase a five pack of attys, a PT (I'm a computer science student), two batts, AND a PCC. The PCC is going to be vital for me...I drive about 75 miles a day and I'm always walking around on campus...

Another thing, I've been pretty pleasantly suprised with the stock tobacco flavored carts that came with my order. I've only tried the 0-nic one, as a tester, but it's pretty darn good. Can't wait for my TW juice to come!

I first began with prefilled carts and did not get much time out of them. I smoked 1 1/2 packs a day so a cart did not last me a whole day at all. I think it depends on your vaping habit. Some get a whole day, some much less. I'm sure your liquid will be there soon. Once you try it, you'll see the difference and the wait will be worth it. I personally think the 510 is the best model. Great flavor and nice vaper. I used a pen-style for a while and though it was nice, it was a pain in the .... for me. This community has been a wealth on information for me as far as the world of vaping.
Welcome to the 510 family!

I would highly recommend the pyramid tea bag mod. It is one of the best things suggested to me on this site.

Sounds like you are well set up for some happy vaping! And even if you can't get a full day out of the carts, suplimenting with a few smokes won't hurt, they will most likely be a thing of the past for you in a few days or weeks.

And yes, please try the straw mod...I really like it (never tried the PTB mod, but the straw mod works fine for me).

(vapour should increase as your atty breaks in give it a few days and you should see a big difference).

Congradulations on your new 510 Titan..... I have had mine for about 2 months and it is great..... Many E-cig companies false advertize and say their carts can deliver much more than they do...... I have found that about 10 good drags is about right for the 510...... Don't forget, each drag from the E-Cig equals alot more nicotine than a regular cigarette ....... And the Titan batteries don't last that long either...... But, still I think the 510 is one of the best out there for vapor production and throat hit.......
I highly recommend you get a PCC and a Pass Through for your 510...... The Pass Through will save on batteries...... Carry extra batteries, atomizers and fluid.....

I bought a Kensington Portable Power Pack for my Pass Through to keep me plugged all the time...... The Pass Through will give you 5.0 volts all the time, which equals, more vapor, more throat hit, and a stronger vape...... I think a PCC is about 25 and a Pass Through is about 15...... These two items will make life much easier.......

Enjoy your 510 Titan and happy vaping...... Any questions, PM me.....

Music to my ears! I think I'll have to try them all out...lots of people do swear by the PTB mod though.

I do have just about everything...except I forgot to order the plain ole charger...have to go through my PCC...ahh well, no biggie.

The straw mod looks very promising. I will definitely be trying that.

I forgot about the atty needing to be broken in...didn't even cross my mind til you mentioned it. Guess I'm just a little excited.

Ummmm... passthroughs with the in-line battery only put out the battery voltage, which is typically 3.7V.
