Hey guys, I just recently started "vaping" and I love it. I have a Joye 510.

Recently tho the vapor production has been pretty poor, and last night it starting tasting burnt. I looked in my atomizer and saw a thread and pulled it out, it was burnt at the end. So i pulled out all the threads I could see and the vapor still tasted awful. so I took off the cart, and dry hit the atomizer and the vapor starting tasting normal again, I was wondering, What happend, and how can i prevent it in the future?

This is one for the reason a lot for people have moved away from carts. The poly-fill will work it's way down into the atomizer and get burnt. You might consider dripping. It's more work but the vapor is much better and as long as you keep it wet, no burnt taste. Otherwise, just keep an eye on your atty and make your no treads are building up. You could also try a the tea bag cart mod. Good Luck.

I hate carts with a passion. I will drip or use the new 510 cartomizers but I gave up on the carts.

Dshack makes some great points. If you choose to stay with carts pull the wad slightly out of the end of the cart and take a lighter to the loose threads...be sure not to burn the end of the wad, just the loose ones. Then push the polyfil back into the cart. Its ok for the polyfil to set below the edge of the cart which was another mistake I was making at first. Hope this helps ya, good luck

Fluval or Blue foam also work very well. Since they are not loose strands they tend to stay where they belong and not get burned. Be careful when you start pulling stuff out of your atty though, some of those "threads" are suppose to be there

whats the t bag cart method?

Check the video on the first response. There are a bunch more on youtube. You take and cut a tea bag, remove the leaves and roll it up. Never used it but others swear by it

yup... use the PTB Mod (pyramid tea bag)

currently I use PTB in my cart and remove the Poly-fill inside..
