I thought that it was all in my mind at first, and perhaps it is. I got one opinion on it, but I would like some more. After a few days of vaping, it feels like I have to suck harder to get a good hit and that it doesn't taste as strong now. I thought that perhaps it is because I am getting used to the whole vaping thing, kind of like when you start analogs for the first time, you know? But it seems like I have to hit this 510 terribly hard sometimes.

I have cleaned the unit, the way that MoobyGhost says to in his video, wiping the posts off, cleaning the inside of the atty and blowing it out. The batteries should be pretty well charged, since I always put one on that I have left charging overnight when the other one runs out, then I charge it. But it just seems like I am not getting that "Woah" anymore. And I think that I am not getting as much vapor since I seem to be inhaling more of it now into my lungs.

Also, I have just noticed yesterday that there seems to be a mysterious leakage once in a while. At one point I thought that it was coming from around the manual switch, but now I am thinking that it comes from the gold piece where the batt and atty screw together. Sometimes it seems to be not much and then other times I seem to get the stuff all over my hands. I try not to overfill the cart (though I sometimes seem to get it close to level with the end of the cart plastic), and I just switched to the Pyramid mod, doing it exactly the way that MoobyGhost does on his videos. However, I do not get this leakage all of the time, just once in a while, it seems.

Once I get more money, I will order even more backup parts, and I'm just glad that the 510 came with a couple of each thing. I should have figured that I would be bound to screw something up when I'm just starting on this whole thing!

In summary: Do you "get used" to vaping like analogs and have to eventually suck a lot harder? Did I mess something up since I am getting a weird leakage sometimes? (Sorry that I am rather long winded a lot of the time!)

Sounds like you are flooding your atty.
Have you tried tailpiping?
Have you tried edobit that Mooby Ghost reviewed?
Be careful if your batt is not sealed (has a hole in the end).

No have not tried tailpiping, that's where you just drip a few drops into the atty hole where the cart would go and puff a few times right? No haven't tried anything like that.

What's "edobit"? I'll have to go look about that and see if I can find the video. Just took the atty and batt off of each other and there looks like there was a drop of liquid that I got out of the gold part of the batt with a paper towel.

You likely overfilled your cart.
Yes... you can control the liquid quantity by tailpiping a couple drops when your vapor production declines.
edobit is a device to assist direct dripping.

Excellent, thanks for the fast advice. So pretty much don't fill the thing as much as I have been and everything will be back to normal? And if I do seem to overfill then just clean the atty and batt right away?

I'll look into the other suggestions as well, thanks again.

Ah, I never chew on mine. When I hold it in my mouth I always make sure that I turn my lips inward when I hold it, kind of like I am when I mush my lips together (fold them over my teeth) when I am putting on my lipstick or...

But I will be sure to take care and check more often about making sure that the whole PV is cleaner.

Since I switched to NHaler juice my ecig doesn't leak. His juice is much thicker, I don't get leaks and top off a lot less:)

That could also be part of it. The liquid that I got from RuyanDirect is pretty liquidy, for lack of a better term. I am going to order Cinnamon from Rocky Mountain Vapor as soon as they get their new payment system up and running, so maybe it will be a little better. I have my heart set on Cinnamon though and they have the best price that I can find on it, which is VERY important to me.

Alright, I had another issue but it made me figure out what all of the issues were. I got to a point where I was sucking so hard that I was actually pulling juice out of the mouthpiece. Which made me realize that while I was taking slow drags, I was sucking too hard. So, once I quit sucking so hard, I didn't seem to have any of these problems anymore.

Also, seems that it improves my batt life for some reason when I don't suck so hard, which I didn't think that it would.

when this happens to me it is what I am calling a preflooded atty. Take off your cart, put one on with no filler or juice and smoke it until it starts to taste burnt..To my amazement I got about 20 inhales from what was stuck in the atty. Then I put my cart back on and vape away. I also noticed that when I first fill a cart if I tilt the cig up, to where you think it would all go into your mouth, it doesnt and you get great vapor. Then after a few inhales level it back to normal. It works for me, hope it will for you too.

been using a 510 i got a week ago from innovapor.com & even though nothing bad to say in the least (will post a full review on the whole "jump" soon). i noticed the leaking too. now a week deep using this - which i gotta say, feeling sooo much better & not looking back, im thinking thats water vapor & not the cart leaking. i say that because i only notice the "leaking" when i pull kinda hard a few times. my 2cents anyway
