Shotty Vape - Joye 510 Need Some Help

[lela82]

My Joye 510 came to day from rockymountainvapor and I am having some problems and I am not sure if it is something I am doing or not.

So far I have tried the fill that came with the carts, 2 carts with coffee filters, 3 with tea bags (not the pyramid) and also tried the straw method with the fill that came with the carts.

The vaping is shotty. Sometimes I am getting GREAT vapor and other times it is light, no throat hit and barely any vapor.

It does seem like on 2 carts I tried I overfilled them and once the excess was gone the vapor production was a little bit better. I also noticed that if the atty was cool the vaping is a little bit better. Even if I do not overfill a cart and the atty is cool the vape can still be shotty.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong???

i have same problem. worse thing is i didnt order extra liquid....orz
i just finished 5 carts, and i dont have any more.........

Make sure you're not overfilling the cartridge and flooding the atomizer. You might want to blow out the atomizer from the atty end with a tissue at the end to catch the excess liquid. If your atomizer is flooded you won't get nearly as much vapor if any. Also make sure the draws you're taking are long enough. Try drawing for 4-5 seconds and see if it helps. The atomizer might get pretty warm, but just leave a longer time between drags.

I don't recommend starting the first day with any e-cig by starting with modifications. Learn it first as a stock unit.

 

[solonguniverse]

I dunno man. I got fed up with the burnt polyester taste pretty quickly.

 

[KreeL]

You aren't burning polyester, dude. You are stuffing your carts incorrectly.

 

[solonguniverse]

I'm talking about the original stuffing in the original blank cartridges I received with my unit. And if you're saying that I'm not burning the threads that came loose and stuck to my atomizer and tasted a lot like burning plastic...then maybe I'm crazy. I started using felt and never tasted it again.

push the original cart stuffing down 1/8 of an in and make sure no little hairs are coming out of the stuffing- trim off any excess hairs sticking out. If one hair sticks out and touches the atty it will taste burnt. Just blow out the atty and start over.

1/8 inch down and no hairs sticking out

and now it's your turn to type this to the next newbie that is having the same problem, this happens at least 4 times a week here!!

Man this has gone way off topic. I'm just going to bow out so you can answer questions for the people who actually need the advice.

As for trying to modify my cart..I had too! First the flavor and mg that came with my carts was NOT for me! So When it came yesterday I did try the prefilled carts that came with the order, tasted horrible and even then did not produce a great vape.

I took the filler out, rinsed it til it turned white, patted dry, and put a few drops into my empty cart, put the fill back in, and put another few drops in. I patted the top of the cart to get excess off, and made sure the fill/hairs were coming out of the cart. Still shotty vape. Tried the straw (2 hole coffee stirrer) method, and this did not work..maybe this would work better if I was to cut off some fill as this did seem really cramped in the cart.

Did this again, still didn't work. So then I got a coffee filter, cut and filled my cart the way the guy has (sorry forget user name) done in his video with the tea bags. The coffee filter worked better, but the coffee filter was still wet, dang near soaked when I started getting a bad taste. I topped off, but was only able to get 2 drops in.

I tried the tea bad method, again like the video and the tea bag worked about like the coffee filter did. This is where I left off and still have the tea bag in my cart.

Now I will say this, when I got up this morning I have had consistent vapes now for 2 hours. Does it have anything to do with the tea bag sitting in cart overnight absorbing all of the liquid?? I have had to top off this morning and was only able to get 3 drops...but consistent vape and I work a job where refilling, toppping off even if often is not a big deal (thank you boss man lol). My concern is my husband who can not refill carts while on the road (12 hours at a time).

Any suggestions??

I am getting shortness of vap after one drag on my EC502. I am getting frustrated for not being able to get continous drag vap from it. Anyone can help?

There are numerous threads about the factory cart defects. Some are short on juice. Some are partially dried out or old. Some are stuffed too tight and won't wick very well. If you are going to use them. Check them out first to make sure they are better than one you can build yourself.

Some of the attys need a few days to break in before they start producing good vapor

 

[kellie]

felt? please do explain

So I went to Walmart today and bought the "Morning Glory" Poly Batting in the craft section.

I took this, cut to fit in my 510 cart, used my straws that I cut a couple days ago and wooo hooo!! I do not have to refill the carts as often and the vapor is getting way better (even without the poly from walmart). I think the atomizers just needed some breaking in.

My husband who was not fond of the Blu at all is loving the 510! He is amazed at the difference in the vapor production, the throat hit, and the longer life of the carts.

To anyone have problems filling carts. Take a look at using something like this:

It is called a needle tip oiler. I got mine here:
3 pack Precision Oiler - Needle Tip Oiler Bottle 1/2 oz - eBay (item 350189096492 end time Aug-08-09 07:47:32 PDT)

It wokrs wonderfully well and I use it while on the road all the time to refill my cart. All the advantages of a syringe with the actual syringe. I highly recommend this method of filling carts.

Can you describe how to use it? I bought two of these, but I must not be doing it right because I am not getting spectacular results.

You insert the tip all the way down the side of the cart(It is important that you are filling from the bottom up....) between the filler and the wall of the cart. Apply a gentle squeezing pressure to the bottle until the cart is completely full. Keep pressure on the bottle as you pull out the needle at some liquid will be sucked back in to the tip as you relive the pressure.

It provides a nice even and full fill to my 801 carts.............
