Hey hows it going, im new to e cigs and ive recently purchased a crap load of stuff about $250 usd worth and its not working out so well. I have a 5 joye 510 mega manual batteries, 2 regular manual 510 batteries, about 50 soft tip cartomizers, 5 regular atomizers and 20 carts and a usb passthrough. Anyways no matter the combinations ive tried i can't get any vapor production out of this thing. I get small amounts of vapor, even on long drags and the hits are very thin harsh and hot i guess is the best way to describe it. I really really wanna quit smoking and would love to figure out how to, any help would be greatly appreciated :)

It sounds like your cart is simply not wicking fluid to the atty well. Try removing the cart and putting 2-3 drops of liquid directly on the bridge, then put an empty cart on (no filler or fluid) on the atty and try vaping. This is called "dripping", and while over the long term it will put more starin on the atty, it is a way to test if the problem is in the atty or the cart. If it vapes well, tastes good, big vapor, it is the cart not wicking properly. If the problem remains, then there is a problem with the atty, but this sort of thing with new vapers is almost always cart wicking issues.

If dripping made for good vaping, then you need to make sure the cart is filled with juice, to the rim, and the filler is fluffed up, and maybe even pushed up about 1 mm above the rim of the cart. This will ensure that the juice and filler are cradling the bridge when it is on the cart.

If you are using prefilled carts, these can often vape ok for a few hits, then die off. Best to have your own juice to add to the carts and make sure they are filled to the top.

Another issue you may be having is atty flooding, as in too much liquid coming from the cart and essentially drowning the atty heating element. Blow the atty out into a paper towel, and if a lot of juice comes out, this could well have been the problem. Actually in this situation, which is common with 510s, I do not blow the atty out. I put an empty cart on and vape the atty like I dripped. At first it will be weak, but it gathers steam and will give around 15 good hits before I need to put a filled cart on.

If these suggestions don't solve it, and they should, you can repost here, or to get more feedback and suggestions, post to New Members.
