So I just set up my Joye 302, initially I put the juice in the filter (haha) but worked out what the atomizer is and have put 2 drops in there and changed my filter...My problem is, I get bugger all vapour...Its not bad if I don't inhale but when I inhale pretty much no vapour comes out...Which really defeats the whole purpose of buying the thing in the first place as it does not give me that smoking feeling nor does it put nicotine into my body...Any help would be really appreciated...thankyou:) Also all the videos I look at just has people not inhaling the vapour but 'bum puffing' it

What juice are you using? 100% PG juice base does not make persistent vapor. You need some VG in the juice base - VG cuts TH and dulls flavor somewhat but makes thicker more persistent vapor so it will last through inhaling and exhaling. Try juices with 30% VG (i.e 70pg/30vg). If you don't care about TH you can use higher VG.

Since you are in Australia, you might only be able to get Chinese juices. If you get 30ml of a juice in PG and 10ml of the same flavor and nic in VG, then mix that all together, that will be 75pg/30vg of the same flavor and nic

If you are using the cart (with the 'stuffing') then you will be filling it up with a lot more than two drops. More like 18 (if I recall correctly)
Yes you do put it in the "filter". It should fill up the little plastic piece and form a damp top. Then that part goes into the atty
If you are dripping. Or tailpiping. With NO cart. Then it's about 4 drops on a 302 maybe? 5? I drip 3 with my 901.

Oh. And yes, the 302 leaks. Very common for that model (penstyles)

I would guess you have an auto battery if it is a standard 302/801 beginner kit. Auto batteries are not made for dripping into the atty as it tends to leak into the battery and will kill the battery. Most vapers who know the difference prefer manual batteries where you press a small button to heat the atomizer. You have much better control, can heat the atty and liquid better for warmer vapor, there is no auto cut off like with the auto type of battery and the battery is sealed so you can "drip" and not worry about getting liquid into the battery. I would suggest picking up at least one "manual" battery.

As a 302/801/BE112 atomizer user myself, if you find you really want warmer vapor, at some point, I would suggest you look at bigger batteries for use with your atomizer. A good 5 volt battery with a 302 atty is "night and day" better IMO, than the little 3.7 volt battery you are currently using. Here is an example of a good 5 volt battery: Electronic Cigarettes and E-Liquid - Great Lakes Vapor

Ok thanks for that...
I did initially put the drops straight into the atty...will I need to clean that out now or will it dry up naturally?

I'm guessing I need to just put a few drips onto the woolen part of the filter now then hey? It's odd because the videos I look at on youtube just have people smoking the e-cig without actually putting a juice in it and when they do they use syringes and all heaps of crazy ........

The drops straight in the atty are fine, just vape it until the flavor changes a bit or vapor drops off and you've used it up. This method is called dripping and some people swear by this to vape.

It's similar with the cart / filter, put juice in and vape till the taste / vapor changes, and refill, it should last a bit longer than dripping. The syringes and heaps of crazy :) are being used on cartomizers, another option that holds even more juice between refills.

You don't have to dry atty out, just vape it as mentioned above. But dripping with an auto, especially when new, is not recommended. If you continue to use the cart, put eliquid in the cart until it becomes moist but not "puddling". Some people take the filler out completely the first time and drip all over the filler until it is moist, put it back in the cart and then just top off with 2-3 drops when the vapor starts to drop off. What ever works best for you.

You are doing it right with carts - just until it is damp.

I believe you can also use standard DSE801 cartomizers (not the LR aka low resistance ones - those could damage your battery). You might find those less frustrating. But you would have to be super careful after filling and make sure the cartomizer is not going to drip liquid out the bottom because you have auto batteries. Autos are dependent on a drag sensor in the threaded end, through a hole and that is right where a cartomizer would drip if it leaked.

Ditto on dripping on an auto batty. I've killed many a batty that way! Your battery is 'auto' if you don't press a button to activate it. If you DO press a button, then you have a 'manual' battery, and dripping (not using the cart w/filter) is OK.

Here's a few videos that should help..

This one is with a 510 instead of a 302, but it's the same principle, and the reviewer is easy to understand.




This one is specific to the 302/801 (penstyle)




AND.. how to drip with a penstyle :) (he's using a different battery.. it's actually a laser mod, but he's got the 801 atty on it, so you can still get the same idea)





hope that helps some!
