Try another atomized cartridge. It is possible that the one you are using has died.

I have tried everything and get minimum flavor and minimum vapor, always get the burnt metal taste more than the juice....the only time that it was working well was when I was using the carts that came with the kit, I'm thinking its the juice, gonna try vg and see how it goes with that....

Juice feed issues here. A starving atty will give you burnt taste and low vapor. A flooded atty produces gurgling noises and in extreme case almost no vapor.

Yes, try another atty. Blow out the old one from the battery end, wash it under hot water, and dab a rolled up paper towel tip into the big end after washing to remove some water from the bridge. Let it sit for a while on a paper towel while you vape with the new one.

Make sure the cart filler is even with the end of the cart so that you get contact with the bridge. If the filler gets pushed back in the cart, it won't touch the filler material and you will get dry and harsh vapor. Clean the battery ends and threads with a towel to make sure you get full battery power to the atty.

You will get more vapor from VG, but slightly weaker taste, in most cases. PG can be harsh at 100%. I'd try 70pg/30vg and go from there. Some people like 50/50 mixes.

I forgot to mention,i ordered two attys and I get the same result from both, I just washed the one that I used first I currently have it standing battery side up til it dries, will try it with that one when its ready.....its getting a little better now, I did the tea bag mod but this time I cut it evenly with the cart....its a lil better but it could be better.....

You said that you got the best taste from the pre-filled carts. Those are usually kind of so-so on taste from most suppliers. They are just a plain tobacco flavor in most cases and not a very good one at that. You may have gotten a better juice in the initial order.

I'd order some Backwoods Brew 555 and give that a try. It's a 70/30 mix and a good tobacco flavor. At least you would have a reference to a solid juice that is commonly agreed to be good as a comparison. Vapor and taste on BWB 555 is good and it's commonly used, so we would have a standard to comment on.

One other thing ... When you use a new atty for the first time, blow it out to remove the clear primer liquid and then add two to three drops of liquid to re-prime it. The initial primer liquid is pretty nasty tasting stuff! Then fill a cart and vape without inhaling for a few puffs until you begin to taste the juice and not the remaining primer.

one small detail, while I was getting the best taste from the carts I still hated the taste, I hate tobacco....so what other flavor would u recommend thats 70/30??

Backwoods Brew is all 70/30

My personal fave is their Casablanca but it's a complex Turkish blend w/ a bit of cocoa (and sometimes I add more cocoa with FreedomSMokeUSA Cocoa in 70/30)

My other fave (because I like that funky nutty somewhat pungent aroma of Turkish blends) is FreedomSmokeUSA Desert Ship

And www.FreedomSmokeUsa.com Allows you to pick the mix percentages of PG/VG as well as the nic level when you place the order for the juice.

Backwoods is pretty tasty to me. I like the coffee and peach non-tobacco flavors.

thanks for all your help guys, gonna order some juice now lol, and I'll let you know if things change with the cleaned atty....right now for me to get a decent amount of vapor I have to take multiple pulls....and from the videos ive seen they get more vapor from one pull than me with multiple pulls.....

ok this is frustrating me, my girlfriend has a 510 and she is getting 10 times more vapor than I am, even with my 801, so the problem is my techique, go figure lol, basically the way I've been doing it is I inhale but not to my lungs directly, i inhale till my mouth is full THEN I take it to my lungs, apparently this way is wrong because she uses it a different way and gets way more vapor, any thoughts???

Are you both using the same kind of juice, same PG/VG ratio? VG cuts TH but makes more visible and persistent vapor.

 

[unkn0wnz]

yup same exact juice and flavor, from the same bottle, its deff not my 801 because she can get quite a lot of vapor from mine and hers, but when I use them its downhill....so the problem is my technique not the 801.....
