Question re Janty Ego 510 atty

[Hotwire]

Could holding the button down without drawing and without a cart in or any juice on the atty burn it out or damage it?

I think I did this a few times and i swear I am getting a slightly burned taste...

It could be the liquid i am using, but not sure.

Dang.

Well I do have 6 month warranty, but pain in the .... all the same.

What do you think it takes to burn a brand new atty out? Have had mine for 3 days only.

To be fair though when my cart was empty (new ego tank system) I did still puff away a few times to vaporize and not waste any juice left in the atty...

But as long as the atty is producing vapor (it did get very weak in taste and very slight but I never toked to the point where it was bone dry and producing nada) - well then it can't be dry and thus can't be burned out right?

Please help - confused!

wrong, it could have died totally. instead you were lucky and it only smells bad now.
its not a good idea to vape on them as long as a little cloud comes out of them.
Atomizers like it wet. period.

the problem with your new toy is, that there is not much experience into getting rid of the taste of them.
some of the old atomizer cleaning tips around this board like a vodka bath could help.


a normal atomizer could be dry burned with caution, but inseide the Tank atomizer we can't see the coil glowing, so i think it would not be a wise idea to try that on your single atomizer.

personally i would blow the atomizer out, soak it in pure PG and let it rest 10 minutes at least. blow it out and repeat 2 times.

after that try a new filled tank ( maybe just filled with PG, its cheaper).
you may not get rid of all the smell instantly, but it should be better than before.


*upps*. sorry just saw your "normal" 510 atomizer smells bad. anyway the safest way for a beginner is that with the PG i wrote. i strongly believe pure PG takes the burned taste with it.

Man it is worse now. No, not a normal 510 as I have the tank system, I just assumed it was a normal 510 atty, but it's not...

I don't know what has happned but it basically now leaves me feeling like I have inhaled smoke from burned paper and it makes me cough... The vapor even feels kind of hot and actually drifts upwards in the air when exhaled like smoke

Same with the spare TAWA unit that came with it...

Guess have to wait until can get back to retailer and ask for replacement under warranty... I have 6 month warranty and will just deny I vaped it without the cart

Not sure if it was my vaping fow a few puffs (only like 3) after took cart out or that it moght be a fake. It says it's

Made in CHINA....

When I was at the retailer unit (Korea like China is famous for not caring about intellectual property or copyright) I was looking at the Janty Europe site to try and get some info / reviews in English before buying and the guy was quite frantic about that and sayng 'No, no, not, not...' (he was Korean) and wanting me to close down the webpage on the in store pc...

Man, not sure what to do.

Will email Janty and see if JANTYKOREA with made in China products is legit...

If not, ask for refund.

If it is, then ask for replacement under the 6 month warranty I got and then keep it wet in future...

Can't keep using it as it is. Damn wont be able to get back to the reatailer until early Jan too...

Back to the analogues for a few weeks I guess. Damn, was liking this too until this problem happened..

Serves me right for not learning enough Korean to read the manual I guess if it is a legit product...

I use a few drops of H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide--it coverts to water under heat.) and burn it out. If you want to try it, just plug off the bottom of your atty (I use a condom from a carto) drip in some H2O2 and set it aside for a few minuets, then blow it out. I do that twice. I then screw it on a battery and hit the button for about six seconds, then pause for about four seconds. I do that about six or seven times. Then set it aside for a few hours to dry more completely. I tried this four or five times now and so far it's worked quite well. This thread also has a lot of good information in it. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...does-your-510-atomizer-perform-perfectly.html Later, JD

NOT A REGUALR 520 atty, it is the new EGo - tank atty. My apologies. Don't know how to change thread title...

 

[Hotwire]

Man I'm no longer sure if it is a burned taste or is just the Oriental liquid I'm using's flavour. Pretty sure it wasn't like this at first tho, but not 100% sure... Just feels do dry though even though their is lots of vapor, that slightly sweet and light or fragrant vapor taste is gone now...

Just tastes like slightly burning paper or something on my toungue. An hr later the taste is still there. Seems dryer than on day 1 too although still making vapor

To get back to your original question, it shouldn't damage it as long as you don't heat it to the point of burning it in two. (which will make it go open of course). I suspect you have something in there that's burned, whether it be gunk from the juice or some contamination from the factory. Gunk from the juice can form a glaze on the coil and inhibit performance but not taste bad. But it can also become burnt enough to taste bad also. If cleaning does not help, another kit might keep you in business until your replacements come in. Mad Vapes has a pretty good deal on a no box mega 510 kit. 510 Kits

Could that really happen after just 3 days though...? It getting 'gunked' up. Was fine on day 1... Now it is both units. Only 3 days of moderate vaping (literally 20 - 30 draws a day) and just the couple of times I removed the cart and vaped for a few draws until it got weak...

Guess back to the retailer's and see what they have to say. At least i have the 6 month warranty and they had a lot in stock... I don't have a c/card so can't order online and also if it is buggered, would rather go to the original retailer and try

a. A different juice to see if it is the juice

b. Get either a replacement or refund.

 

[Kelemvor]

the atomizers gunk up from day 1. but normally they are good to use for a long time if you don't heat them dry.

as i said before, keep it wet.

Well I bought some menthol juice today 11mg nic at a e-cig store I found by accident in Gumi City, Korea.

Blew out the Janty Orialntal 16mg I was using and filled a brand new tank cart with the menthol and well all I can say is the burned taste has gone away and the mentol is v nice. Plenty of vape, not hot, no nasty smell or taste so far.

I didn't think I had burned out two brand new attys as the tank carts literally flood the hell out of the atty and even after a few puffs without the tank, when you do a blow thru to clear out the atty with air after that, a good 2 - 4 massive drops still were coming out, so it definitely wasn't dry burning out...

Also when I was in the store today sampling juices, I found their (brand was lily) e-cigs tasted like burned, gacky cr@p when they gave me a high nic strength 'tobacco / trad cigarette' flavour... Now their units could be burned out due to lots of inexperienced customers sampling, but I doubt it coz they would want to use good units so the customer got the most pleasent taste.

so it looks so far - and fingers tightly crossed - that it was just the Juice I was using (JantyKorea Oriental 16mg...)

Will report back after tonight as I plan a whole cart huge vape sesh just to make sure the burned taste and gagging sesnation doesn't return.

Just don't do it to long and it it wont damage it.

Yup I can confirm that is was the 'Oriental' e-liquid.

The Cart of menthol I filled about 3/4 full got me a good 40 or more very hearty draws and never even once tasted bad, hot, irritated my throat and nor did the flavor get even a tiny bit weaker until the very last draw! Was consistent, cool and I must say - delicious! Methinks I am going to be a big fan of the Menthols! Looking forward to the Strawberry and others I am oredering soon also!

I guess with the tabacco flavours it will be best for me to go with a full flavoured one with Low nicotine.

Also - can certain ingredients make the vapor gacky? the oriental has

Vanilla

VG
PG
Linalool
2-5 Dimethylpyrazine
2-Avcetylpryrazine

Well, I don't know but all I can say is I will never buy that blend again and am glad my attys are still ship shape and Bristol fashion!

thnaks to everyone for all their suggestions and help!
