I recently purchased some of the 510 wide gold band attys from Happy Vapor and I'm very pleased with them. They are just as good as the thin band ones I've purchased in the past. Some attys, irregardless of wide or thin band, take a little longer to break in. I drip on a prodigy V2 and always remove the filler under the bridge before I start using them (I tried to find a post here from the guy who came up with it, but it seems he isn't here. The username is Phi and just search for threads started by him at VF).

As I couldn't tell a difference between the wide and thin band, and after reading the posts in this thread, I decided to give Jack a call and see what his thoughts are on it. He told me that they are all made by Joye, and the only difference is cosmetic.

Hope that helps.

I've only found a difference in the two when using them at higher voltages....

The thin band SLB brand work better for me at 5v, where the wide band (or any joye brand) give me a burnt taste too easily the second its less wet.

IDK, I just gave up on the joye and search out SLB's when they come up for sale in the classifieds now.

Have you tried removing the filler from under the bridge? This removed any burnt taste that I've had. It's been truly amazing. Also, I've found that the Joye atty out performs the SLB by a mile. I guess different strokes :D

I think they are also sold by Totally Wicked as the "510 TITAN E-NI-MEGA Atomizer". They have a description and pictures on their website. I'd post a link but don't have the post count for that yet.

According to TW:
"The Barrel of the MEGA atomizer has been stretched to accommodate the extended barrel of the MEGA cartridges"
"The MEGA TITAN cartridges hold 2 x the amount of fluid held by a regular TITAN cartridge."

I've also seen them on the Health Cabin site but the required matching carts are out of stock.

Yes, I've been considering trying them :)

Hey smokum,

Whats the verdict on those ZFM carts you got? I know you mentioned on another thread that you were having some issues with flooding but later mentioned that you had better success with it. Im itching to get my hands on a Tesla (should they ever come out of the prototype phase) and am looking for something to hold me over.
 
Thought I would throw this rag in for an added bonus...

I was wondering why other people were giving 510's a bad review. I think I just found out why. I ran out of Joye 510 attys and had trouble finding more, and so I settled for a Titan 510 multi-pack with the wide gold bands on them. I tried one and I'm like.. WTF?!... I can't get any vapor, just a little whisp. So I thought maybe it was the one dud in the pack. I tried another, same thing, and another, same thing. The entire pack of 5 was like that. I've been using 510's for over a year and I've never bumped into this problem.

To make a long story short, I discovered you have to "break-in" the Titan 510's. They do get better with patience and time, but they're nothing like an authentic Joye, nor are they anything like some of the other black 510's with the standard thin gold band. I'm used to screwing on a new atty and vaping away like a mad-man. I hate attys you have to tinker with and break-in.

So I've learned a lesson on my own. The next time I see a wide gold band 510, I'll only get it if I absolutely have to. The Titan's have turned me away from them. I've heard that the Titan 510 and the Joye 510 are the same thing, but that is clearly not the case here. I can look inside them, compare them, and notice a few differences.

Joye 510 atty...
Thicker mesh on the bridge
Holds a drop more juice in the mesh reservoir
Barrel is a hair wider in diameter
Coil heats up more evenly across the ceramic cup end-to-end
Only floods when you do it on purpose (cleaning technique)
Gives clouds of vapor on the first try

Titan 510 atty...
Thinner mesh on the bridge
Holds less juice
Barrel is a hair smaller
Coil only heats up 3/4 dead center
Easy to flood without trying
Have to tinker, break it in, and finally 48 hours later it starts working.

So nope, sorry, it's not the same. A KR808D-1 cartomizer would even run circles around that thing!

And, if you're wondering... Nope, it's not a voltage problem. I tested them on my HV mod and got the same results, just a whisp of vapor. However, HV does help to speed up the break-in process, thank goodness. Now they work on a Joye 510 manual battery. Hurray!
