I posted this in another thread but thought it might help others so im gonna put it here instead.
this was written in response to another thread so it might read a bit strange, and i was at work when i wrote it so again might read strange.. anyway here are my tips/experiences with the 510
I thought i would post my experiences and tips for the 510 (but may apply to other types) since this is what i have, ive had trouble off and on with the thing being consistent but for the most part it works great. i will give you some tips on getting the most out of a 510.(again might work on others) i have the joye 510 from Cignot, i hear all 510s are not created equal so if you dont have a true 510 this may not apply.
i bought the starter kit with the pcc, it came with 2 batteries 2 atomizers and a few carts along with the charger pcc. i have since bought two extra mega batteries and three more atomizers and some more carts, i also have a bunch of juice but that doesnt matter here. i have tried all different kinds of cart mods to try to get the same hit each time and to get one cart to last as long as possible. ive tried the PTB, blue foam mod, and some of my own mods using a small piece of foam to plug the end and fill the cart to the top or close to it in an attempt to get the most out of it.
let me say after about 3 weeks i can safely say that i have a setup that works so well for me that i can safely say i dont need or want cigarettes anymore PERIOD. i should qualify this by saying that i really wanted to make this thing work and i really didnt want to smoke anymore, i didnt want to quit as much as i wanted this to work so worked at it hard to make it work.
i settled on this.. i use the standard 510 carts and atomizers i use the mega batteries also. for the carts i use of all things the poly-fill that comes with the stock carts but i did a slight mod to it, what i do is pull it out and clean it then i will thin it out and elongate it to make sure that it is long enough to reach the bottom of the cart, i will then fill the cart 3/4 of the way with juice then i will push the filler in the cart. BUT i use the tweesers to push it in from the bottom of the filler so that it actually reaches the bottom of the cart (remember it needs to be thin-ish so as not to take up too much room) i will then top off the cart with about 4 or 5 more drops. if the fill it too packed in the juice wont flow well enough to give a good vape, also if you use PG or VG makes a difference due to one being thicker (PG). also if you vape a lot fast or a lot of drags you might get ahead of the flow and it wont allow the juice to get to the atomizer fast enough causing poor TH or vape.
believe me ive tested and tested everything i can think of to get this to work. i dont even use my pass through much because its just not needed anymore.
the next part is the technique, when i have a fresh cart i will take the first few (5 or so) drags with the e-cig pointed up, so the juice isnt flowing onto the atomizer. after a bit i will start dragging with it level with the ground (pointed straight out) about 5 or so more. then the rest i point the e-cig down, almost straight down. doing this one cart will last me a long time i would say 6-8 hours easy. a quick note. if im not careful and i take to big a draw it will be too strong and cause me to cough ( like a too strong cigarette) i take a slow steady draw about 3 seconds long each time now. there is a lot of vapor, a whole lot and the throat hit is as i said almost too strong.
i have 5 atomizers and i use two at a time. i will fill two carts and place them on freshly cleaned atomizers and two batteries is all i need all day.
i clean with very hot water, i place them in the water and swish them around for a few min then i will blow them out onto a towel from both ends, i do this three times each. i do this every three days, i will notice a reduction in throat hit and vapor after three days.
another note, if i dont get the right vapor and throat hit i will point the e-cig up to reduce the flow of juice, if i taste a burnt taste i will know that it doesnt have enough juice on the atomizer and point it straight down, i will then take two or three draws if its still not right i will then take it apart and look inside, it is either empty or the filler is burnt or clogged. just clean or top off and repeat.
this has kept me using the e-cig and i am completely satisfied, i was a HUGE sceptic and i didnt think this would work for me, i wanted the exact cigarette experience or close with this device and knew if i couldn't or didn't i wouldn't use it.
i have not had a cigarette in over two weeks and i have not had one craving or desire to have one, NONE AT ALL.
NOTE: im typing this at work so i may have jumped around a bit, i hope this all is clear. if there are any questions please let me know, ill be happy to help
Also i was a regular smoker of a pack a day for 25 years. a lot more when i drank..
this info i think applys to all or most types since ive tried others or seen them and know they are basicly the same idea as far as how they work.

My 510 is so easy to use and a joy to have in my hand
