hey everyone, my 510 is giving me problems lately. I got it last saturday. the first atty that i used was great, good throat hits nice vapor, very consistent. Well that atomizer died on Wednesday, and ive been using a new one since. This atty doesn't seem to be quite as consistent. Not getting very satisfying hits, and sometimes it has a horrible taste. It's not primer fluid, cause i def got thru that at first. But now the hits are weak, and not very flavorful. Anyone else have a problem similiar to this?

Omg...me too! I wanted to post this same question but as a new member here I don't have enough posts to so.

My VERY first 510 came with 2 attys and I still have them. They work GREAT (easy draw and perfect taste)! I have since gotten several new spares (just in case/backup) and they draw harder, less vapor and poorer taste. I changed out the carts and juice to pinpoint the problem and its the attys. They must have changed something in manufacturing....

I read that 510's are flavor killers and with the new attys I have to agree BUT my old attys are the exception. I just ordered (though I don't need it) another 510 kit from a different site and will get it on monday hoping that the attys in kits may be different....waste of money, perhaps but should they work like my old ones then I'll put them in a safety deposit box.:D

Who knows maybe buying spares are not as good as the ones in kits...silly I know but I will be finding out soon enough.

Well I answered my own question if kit's attys are different than those which are bought as spares and they appear to me they are imo.....I just got my 2nd 510 kit and the attys are great unlike the 2 spares I got earlier. They even look different from the outside (which I know does'nt mean anything about performance) but still. The spares have a wide brass band near the screw fitting and those in kits don't. Again, means nothing but I find it unusual that the kit attys (with the thin brass around the screw fitting works much better..... coincidence...maybe ...maybe not?

I got a kit with 2 atty's and I ordered an extra atty at the same time I ordered my kit. I just looked at all 3 of my atty's and they look exactly the same. I can't tell you which one is the extra one, the brass ring on all 3 of them are identical. I got all of my stuff from myvaporstore.com 3 weeks in and I've been rotating all of my atty's, blowing them out daily and have cleaned 2 of them in hot water once. They all still work great. (knock on wood)

yea, i got them at litecigusa.net. they're straight crap. the first atty was a stainless steel one, and it worked real well right up until died(about 5 days later). the other 2 black ones that came with the kit, so far no good.

i have gotten 510 attys from litecigusa and they are real 510 attys not knock offs. thats just my experience

o no! there real! i wasn't knocking litecig at all. sorry if it was taken that way, i think i just got a few bad ones, from what i have heard, it does happen! I'm on my 3rd and final one from them since last saturday, and this one is working nice now. first one (stainless steel) doesn't even attempt to work, and the 2nd one i tried hardly produces any vapor at all. 3rd ones a charm :lol:

The most common mistake new users make is running the atty to dry. It COULD account for most of the symptoms. How do I know? Been there done that.

Where did you get the two different kinds? There are 2-3 kinds out there. The true Joye the dse and maybe the disposables. Could be a couple of more but I haven't heard of them.
