Poped my first addy today. Dang these 5V PTs anyway.

This Joye 510 addy was purchased back in July, and altho it's been in rotation with other attys and cartos, it's the one I took the bridge out of for dripping. It's seen a lot of use, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much, but I can't help but think that if I had kept it off my 5V PT, it might still be going strong. Oh well, RIP little atty.

Didn't it taste bad first ????? ( a big warning that you are out of juice)

Yes it did, but I was reading and instead of putting in more juice, I went for another vape and really leaned on the old button. My meter confirms that it is indeed open. When I'm using the 5V PT, I usually just hit the button for about the first second of a four second pull. That heats the vapor plenty to suit me, as I have my lips right on the atty. But, I did get a lot of use out of it, so I'm not crying too much. lol.

Poor little guy. He gave you all the vape he could... now he's in the big varivolt in the sky.

What size atty was it? I use my meter to find my highest ohmage. I'm using a 2.8 ohm Joye with 5volts on my variable volt copper mod.

It was a 2.3 ohm standard Joye. I usually use 2.8 ohm E2s on the 5V Pt. and use a 3.7V PT with inline battery on the standard attys. I wanted to direct drip a little today and was too lazy to change PTs. Lesson learned. lol]

edit: If you havn't tried the E2 R4, it should give you about the same as your attys. I ordered the 2.8 ~ 3.0 from Mad Vapes. They test on my meter at 2.8 ohm. On the 5V PT, hitting the button for about one second on a three second drag gives nice warm vapor with no harshness at all. I just remove both plugs and use them like a dripper.
