Love My Joye 510

[bsandij]

My first vaping experience was with a Joye 510. I spent hour after hour reading blogs on vaping and checking out consumer reports and feedback comments on the internet. I heard a lot of feedback about the Joy 510 and other 510 type models that I decided to get one. It's a great product for someone who is not on the go all of the time.

I am looking into the Joye Mega kits. I like them because they are thin like a real cig. I probably should get and Joye Ego but I don't know if I could easily get used to holding the huge ecig.

It would be nice to win the FS Ego to try it out. I have been afraid to buy one. Something tells me that I would really like it better.

The 510 you have is great for starting out but you will soon get frustrated with all the battery changing. Eventually you want to move up to a bigger battery if you were more than a pack a day smoker.

The standard 510 is a good little starter unit and if you don't need the extra battery life there's no reason to upgrade. Personally I'd not bother with the Mega 510, if you need a bigger battery go with the eGo or Riva. The price is about the same for a Mega 510 as it is for a Riva and you'll get batteries that are 3 times the capacity. And the eGo isn't really as big as it looks in pictures.

This is my second week vaping and I love my Joye 510. I have no problem with the charge, I have a spare battery though. One battery lasts almost all day and when that runs out I just toss it in the charger and pop in the other.

I started out with the Joye 510, but I prefer the Kr808. The 510 battery would last me half a day, but with the Kr808, once I take it off the charger, I don't have to switch it out with the other until 2:00 in the morning sometimes. I wonder why that is when they're pretty much the same size? The 510 is manual while the kr808 is auto, don't know if that makes a difference or not.

The standard 510 batt is 180mah, the standard KR8 is 280mah.

The standard 510 batt is 180mah, the standard KR8 is 280mah.

Ah, that would explain it. Thanks!

I too started with the 510. Was initially hesitant about the ego because most picutres make it look very large. Glad I switched though. The ego is really not that large, about the size of a sharpie marker; and the vapor is more consistent.

I kicked off with a 510 too and still use it. Ordered a PCC with it so i dont have to worry too much about battery life. Auto battery with cartos while i'm out and dripping with the manual at home. Ordered a silver bullet though, really keen to try lr and hv vaping while i'm at home =)

Love my 510- got a PCC and tank cartridges, so it lasts all day...sort of.

Probably SHOULD have gotten the Ego, but you live and learn.

I'll just point out that the eGo isn't all that big. It's about the size of a Sharpie and the standard 650 MAH bat is a little shorter.

Those Joye 510 mega xl batteries are nice - I recommend manual of course. 128mm long w/ a Boge carto, a bit longer w/ cart+atty, and 60% more charge life. I use the mega with a Boge carto (standard resistance is needed for slim batteries) and I use a colored clear plastic driptip as a mouthpiece on the carto.

I hope some day they come out with a roomier PCC for the megas because that's the only thing that keeps me using the standard 510 batteries when I'm out of the house. This PCC for standard 510 batteries is so roomy:

Re Ego - I got a Riva (a well-liked less expensive clone - under $30 for the whole 2-battery Lite Bundle kit at Liberty-Flights.com if you first click the 20% off in the upper left of their front page). I bought it because I've been lowering my nicotine and I want the option of using LR cartos/attys for more heat and you cannot use those on slim ecig batteries. But so far I've just used it with the same standard resistance Boge cartos I use on 510 and the Riva does seem to be slightly higher voltage - somebody said it's 3.4 vs 3.2 for the slim 510. The Riva seems to get a bit more warmth and vapor out of the same carto.

Maybe I will try that. Thank you for being so helpful. I also have a auto in the 510. It does seem to last longer than the manual.

I keep hearing about the Kr808 so that is good. I am patiently awaiting my 510-t but I was realistic and got a pass through, because my desk is where I get into trouble in the first place. I have seen the pcc and will maybe pick one up once I settle in. But are cartomizer really worth it? I did get a t (tank). Well I guess I will soon find out.
