I actually like a needle bottle better. They're sometimes referred to as precision oiler bottles. They're less messy than a syringe. I've been buying mine at a hobby store but Innovapor.com is looking into stocking them. I'd like to see more suppliers look into needle bottles as an option, because you can't find a better way to fill a cart IMO.
I just ordered one of these...

We'll see how it goes soon enough.

Thanks again!

Mostly referring to wetting it after cleaning...

Okay, that makes sense now.

When you prime an atomizer after cleaning it, it'll absorb more juice than when you're dripping it. A freshly cleaned atomizer has no juice on it whatsoever, so it's going to need five or more drops to get it up to an optimal load. When you're using it for routine dripping, you'll put less juice on the bridge because the whole system is already primed with juice.


One thing hace noticed is that the 510 bridge can be out of allignemnt this can ussually be fixed with a little gentle manhandling. also the carts have a recatangulat opening and mine (IMO) draws and tastes a little better if the bridge and cart opening are not opposed. In other words line up the long dimension of the bridge with the long dimension of the cart opening.


I think I mentioned that earlier in the thread, but it bears repeating. Always align the long axis of the cart opening with the long axis of the bridge. = not +. It makes a big difference in performance and helps to avoid heating up the cart plastic.

It's true that bridge alignment can be critical too. If you have one that's way over to one side, you can use tweezers to gently bend it back to the center where it's supposed to be. Just be aware that it takes a little effort and you can break your atomizer. If you're careful though, it should work fine and improve the performance of the 510. Scott's videos are excellent. I think anyone who owns a 510 should check them out. I always learn things from watching him, and I already know a LOT about the 510.

i know this thread has moved away from this subject in the past 24 hours, but I have been pushing the cart filler down about 1/8 inch and the taste has definitely gotten muuuuuch better. I'm also using some liquid from vapor station and it is putting out clouds of vapor. However, I am still getting that plastic taste within 3-7 drags off a freshly topped cart. When I look at the filler after a few drags (and get that taste), the top is definitely dry, but the bottom 3/4 is still very moist; to the point where liquid bubbles up if i squish the filler down in the cart. I'm way less agitated now because I can actually enjoy my 510, however I am still topping off frequently and unable to use the bottom 3/4 of the cart liquid because it will not burn off. Still wondering how ppl are getting 10-20 drags with no flavor or vapor variation...

I keep getting that problem too, I think there's way too much stuffing in the carts. After you restuff carts, you have to be really sure you aren't packing the stuffing in there or else it won't wick at all. I do have a cart with the straw mod and it's a monster. I can vape on it constantly, and it wicks juice perfectly. I really need to find more and smaller straws. Try it.

I hope you will find your answers in the thread linked below, because I think I understand what is happening to you, and I think I can explain why. But there is also the possibility that I don't have any idea what I am talking about in the thread below, as no one has really said much about my theories one way or the other.

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/joye-510/24211-tips-techniques-good-smoking-experience.html

But one thing I can say for certain, I have now gone three days in a row with only one cartridge lasting me the whole day, without ever topping off once because I don't have my own juice yet. I don't have any more of the wicking issues that plagued me before I figured out (I think anyway) what was going on and what I could do about it.

Of course I only smoked around 3-5 cigarettes per day usually, before I got this thing, so your mileage not only may vary, it most certainly will vary. And of course once I get my liquid so I can top off, these tips become far less relevant, although I will probably continue to use them to some extent so I won't have to top off all the time.

definitely try the straw mod like taylor said (it really helps) and check deadcat's link

and sometimes you have to cool it off or alternate between 2 pv's

Just got my 510. I was really looking forward to it, but have to say that I don't know if I'll use it. I'm getting vapour, but the taste is horrible. I blew out the atomizer as suggested, but still can't stand the taste. I can't imagine that this is what marlb-high is supposed to taste like.

I also feel like I just poisoned myself with nicotine. I've got a crazy headache and feel ill. I smoke a pack and a half of strong analogs a day, so I can't imagine that this is normal. Aside from trying some different juice, any suggestions?

I got 2 manual batteries with my purchase. I like control on how my vapor intake and saving battery life. I got marlb-high, and it gave me quite a buzz, but nothing like chiefing on a analog. I'd say get the manual. I have a Volcano and was sick and tired of it cutting out when I didnt get a big enough hit. I got the joye 510 manual and will never go back. If you order from cignot, no box is 35$. I also ordered 2 flavors of eliquid. Forbidden and 555. Forbidden taste like apple jolly rancher and 555 taste like peanut butter/wood taste. Definelty very good. They have tons of flavors, and only 3$ for 5-6ml. The liquie lasts a long time, and am not anywhere near running out. Can't go wrong.!

None of us vape things that taste horrible.
So you need to vape something different than what you have now.

That sounds like too much nicotine alright.
What strength liquid are you using in those stupid prefilled cartridges?
