New 510...mild dissapointment

[Garrell6888]

Hey so its about day 12 of vaping for me. Goin strong till about day 8, and I ran out of Blu carts while waiting for my 510. Smoked a few analogs here and there, got carts from my mom, (her blu sucked so shes taking mine and I get a 510) smoked more analogs. I got my 510 two days ago. Vapor production is nice, carts last long, battery is decent (waiting for the pcc).

What i'm unsatisfied about is the throat hit. I have to puff for 2 or 3 seconds to get one, and the blu seemed to "hit" a little stronger. And I ony get a throat hit on the high niquid (thats what I like to call it). Is this because of the niquid they sent me or is it a property of the 510? At first I didnt want analogs at all, now im sneakin out for 2 or 3 a day (dead bat, forgot vape, drinking, usual excuses)

PS: I tried dripping (using blu niquid) and it hit like a champ. It was a huge difference. When I dripped with blu it was a way smaller comparison. Does that mean its the juice?

Its the juice - I get great throat hit with my 510

Generally, a throat hit issue is more juice based than anything else. The 510 is widely known for its massive throat hit. I'd suggest trying some different liquids. I've heard that the nicotine content of the liquid affects throat hit (with higher nicotine contents giving a better throat hit). Others may be able to suggest specific juices from certain vendors that have given them good throat hit.

I get a much better TH from the mint liquid I use (bought from Good Prophets and very yummy) than I do from the chocolate or coffee I also really like. I may try adding a couple drops of vodka to the ones that don't hit hard since the DIY liquid folks say it improves TH.

 

[Garrell6888]

All I have is bacardi. Its clear, could I use that?

Thanks for the imput. I was hoping it was the liquid. It has been working a little better so far today I think its fully broken-in now. Its still the prefilled carts with tobacco flavor. I've ordered more niquid from rocky mountain so It'll prolly be here tomorrow.

On a different subject, (that I feel doesn't need its own thread) why can't I thread anywhere besides the new member forum? Some new member type of thing?

i totally agree with this statement. i just received my 510 this morning, and the first few hits were poop... tasted like .... till i wore the atty in, then it hit like a champ with the marb highs it came with. after that, i filled with coffee 36 juice, and did the straw mod, and my TH is better even than a good analog! My juice and 510 came from Alan at ecigarettecigar.com. By the way, my coffee actually tastes like a pot of good columbian coffee lol and when it gets down to the nitty gritty at the end of the cart, it tastes like a burnt pot of coffee ROFL

Give your 510 a fair chance. It took me a week before I decided that I loved the 510. Some of the attys need broken in and some don't. As long as you have the sealed manual batteries I would suggest going with dripping if you think throat hit is an important factor. I don't use any liquor and I get a good throat hit with my juices. I use around 18mg juice from several different suppliers.

And yes, you have to have a certain number of posts before you can start a thread any where other than the New Members section.

Hey,
I'm new to vaping and trying to get off analogs. Well, today I got my first 501 manual with medium nic tobacco flavored. How come nobody talks about the taste of this stuff. It's awful! It's got this sweet sick flavor and leaves a terrible after-taste in my mouth and nose.

Is this something that I'll get used to? Anybody else have a hard time with the taste in the beginning??? I spent over $80 for my kit with the extra carts and juice, excited as hell to quit smoking analogs and start vaping. And then.... YUK! What should I do now???

510 atomizers hate me... =[ ... it's a conspiracy.. i swear..

 

[mischiefgrrl]

I got my 510 today too! Agreed, the carts that come with it taste like burnt ... hair (or at least what I would imagine that to taste like - I don't have personal experience. Really.)

I cleaned out the cart right away and dropped some butterscotch into it. YUM!

The Blu carts are really good tasting so I was surprised to get the 510 and get such foul liquid. I need to charge the batteries up good before I can make a full assessment of the 510 but so far it seems good.

Now I have a question... seems the 510 batteries fit in the Blu PCC and USB chargers... has anyone tried this? The lights change colors when they are charged and I just put them in a few minutes ago so I'm wondering if they're really charging?

I really liked the carts that came with my Joye 510.

In fact, if anyone knows of a juice that closely mimics them let me know.

 

[Moonflame]

Sometimes the fluid they use to prime the attys for storage and shipping tastes really really foul. I had that problem with the 901's but the Titan 510's tasted like they were primed with R4 flavor, not bad at all. I'd try a different liquid and drip a drop or 2 on the atty and try to vape away the bad taste. If it's the carts you don't like there are a number of threads on different things you can use to restuff your cart and fill it with a different liquid. Or you can take the filling out of the one you have, rinse it with hot water, squeeze it in a paper towel and stick it back in the cart to refill. I use the lipton pyramid tea bags (after emptying tea out of course) to stuff mine and find it works well for me. My sister in law doesn't like them, but likes the original stuffing better. It really is a matter of trial and error to find what works best for you. The good thing is that once you find what works best for you it takes very little time and effort to repeat it and it is so worth the effort.

try different juices and go high voltage when you can. makes all the difference.

Don't lie!

Reminds me of the time that I was working and someone said that something "Tasted like ..." and a coworker said "No it tastes worse than ...!" all matter of factly. We looked at him and said "And how would you know that?" at which point he blushed and was like "Uh, I... uh..." and walked away.

We won't persecute you for your kink here! Just playing, do not be offended.

LOL I actually had a conversation with my daughter that went like that. She was sick and dehydrated and had enough strength to tell me that she didn't want to eat or drink anything because everything tasted like .... I said "Oh really? And who's ... did you lick to come up with that comparison???" Note, she didn't catch hell for saying the word ...... just for her improper use of it

So much more than I can come up with here, but I'll keep it clean!

Some of the flavors just don't taste good to some people. You will have experiment to find one you like....trust me on that. You can read all the reviews you want, but taste is an individual thing. Try to find someplace you can get several small bottles of different flavors and find one you like. And don't be afraid to mix them.... You will find one you like and then you will love it....

When you say the carts last long what do you mean? I got my 510 today and I was impressed with the first five or so hits, but after that not so much. I was using the carts that came with it because I have not revieved the juice I ordered yet. Not sure what to expect but from what I can tell everyone else is getting more than 5 hits out of thier carts. It was the same with all three carts I tried.

Just keep going, by tomorrow it will be your favorite! No kidding aside, there is a break-in time you have to allow for. Some actually rinse the atomizer with alcohol and rinse it well, then a few drops of liquid to re-prime it...no dry atomizers, please...then it may/may not taste better. It can be fun/expensive to try different juices. Some mix their own (ME) to get the right flavors. Give it some more time. And take nice long gentle draws, the better the vapor volume the better it tastes. You don't want it to jump into your mouth, that is gross, and that's what happens when you draw too hard instead of long enough.
Good luck!

I know what you mean about the nasty taste. My 510 tasted terrible for a few days, didn't put out much vapor, but once it's broken in, it smokes like a freight train and the taste is good.

Be patient with it, it will become one of your best friends.
