It can only be 4 things.
Bad atty.
Uncharged/bad battery.
To much juice
Not enough juice.
To much juice will make minimum vapor and juice will likely come out the holes in the threads, and you suck juice into your mouth.
Not enough will make minimum vapor and taste burned.
After they have been throughly cleaned 2-3 drops directly on the bridge is nowhere near enough to prime the atty AND produce good vapor. I've heard of 10 drops even. Drop size varies by bottle.
I have found the 510 is a tight rope act until you get used to it. To much/to little juice. I err on the side of to much. I would rather waste a little and get big hits. The attys will likely last longer too. While you are learning if you aren't semi regularly flooding to find the top amount you can use you are probably running it to dry.

Well crap I'm running out of ideas other than that propper cleaning I suggested from that highping thread..I'm just wondering if it could be a vendor specific thing..
I'm assuming it's a joye atty instead of a knock off?..
Honestly, I'm running out of ideas without experiencing it firsthand....See this is why we need to have an Ohio Vapers meeting..lol
I have been using my 510 exclusively for 6 months and yes it's a mother bugger sometimes. you said you have only been using it for two weeks. have you been vaping longer then two weeks or is this your first PV? I never ever ever clean my attys they usually last 4 weeks on average. I cleaned one once and it tasted awful never again. vape until they die, they are cheap so don't worry about them. I fyou must clean wait until AFTER it is broken in and the vapor is getting very weak.
Next new attys need to break in. I can break an atty in in a day or two but the flavor isn't pleasent, I use a strong flavor like RY3 to do so (so I don't have to taste the primer fluid) and I chain vape. since you are only vaping every half hour or so it will take longer, you need to be patient and stick with ONE atty at a time until they die or rotate between two. Flooding a new atty will only increase the time it takes to break in so tread lightly. and last the best advice I can give is...Be patient and get to know your PV to learn it's quirks. don't give up yet because this little PV has treated me very well. any questions feel free to PM me if you'd like. happy vaping

I just replied to a thread in new member about this very same thing - the guy got his from a different suppler than you tho. If its not user error then it might be bad attys - maybe a shipment of crap ones got sent out (if its genuine JOYE) or a shipment of bad knockoffs got sent out - either way it could be a quality control manufacturing issue.
I've been lucky then I guess with my cignot attys - or else I'm treating them differntly but I cant see how from what youve described. I mean I thrash mine. I chain vape til the PT is burning hot (I could cook eggs on the casing, seriously), I direct drip cos so far no cart wicking material can keep up with me lol and I dont clean them. I flood them, vape them when a bit too dry, flood them some more, suck juice out the mouthpiece (oh look flooded it again), you get the idea.
I have another unit I keep elsewhere (just using the manual battery no PT) and I treat that one just as 'badly'. But it too functions fine.
I have a feeling htat if it IS user error we'd need to be there with you looking at what youre doing, or another vaper could try the attys out. OR like I said - its bad quality control from the manufacturer, which the supplier will need to rectify (that being your point of contact).

I bought a couple of attys from puresmoker when I was buying some juice and those have both worked out well for me. Attys to me are incomprehensible. The one I had that ended up tasting burnt was after I tried to clean it in Diet Coke. I think I didn't let it dry enough and when I was trying to vape, I burnt the wick.
But I'd try a couple of different suppliers before I'd switch PVs.

This may sound stupid, but have you tried cleaning the threads in your batts? A Q-tip and some rubbing alcohol work well. A bad connection between the battery and the atty can cause problems. Since you're having problems with all your atties, maybe it's a dirty battery. Worth a shot anyway.
To the OP, I've been following your troubles and feel bad that your experience hasn't been as hassle free as most of ours. All of the suggestions so far have been like circus acts, do X and Y, doesn't work? Try Z. I honestly don't think anything is going to help these atties, sounds like a bad bunch. My recommendation is to take out the trash and start fresh from a reputable vendor (cignot gets my top recommendation, Cignot your Midwest Electronic Cigarette store.). I haven't heard of House of Vapor, but after your experiences with their products something isn't adding up. The 510 is a hell of a workhorse, and aside from the occasional fiddle have worked amazingly for me. Grab a $35 cignot kit, comes with 2 atties and the works. If your happy, get more atties and prosper best of luck!
best of luck!
Xdunlapx - may i ask (and sorry if someone asked this already in another thread), how long are you letting them dry for? ( recommended 24 - 48 hours for some attys)
Are you using a large amount of primer VG/PG to prime them with after they dry? (at least 8 maybe up to 10)
When youve cleaned them have you ever used the crest pro cleaning idea?
We are all bound n determined you get you vaping!
It might be bad attys but it might not. I do understand why people say just buy new ones, but if this happens again it might help to know WHY.(I know it would for me at least)

I gave up and ordered a Vapor King from V4L.
I have let them dry for a few hours through 24 hours. The problem other than little to no vapor is an awful burnt metallic taste. I'm giving up on my 510. I ordered a Vapor King. No I never tried crest pro cleaning. Thank you for trying to help, but it seems like a lost cause.
What a shame I suppose I'd be reluctant to get another of the same model if I had a horrible experience too. Hopefully you have better luck with the KR8 and it's performance is adequate for you. As always, best of luck

To be honest, I don't think it's your equipment, I think it's your tastebuds. Every now and then I have a day where "everything" has a burnt metallic taste to it. My wife is going through that right now. It passes. I get this more on the 510 than on my M401/2, so when it comes around I switch to the other. But good luck with your 808. Can't hurt to have a couple of different models around, they typically only cost the price of a week's worth of analogs! I just bought some adapters and a bunch of 808 carts to try with my 510 and I want to try the carto experience too.
All I can say is that some 510 attys are superior to others. You will pay more for say, a Janty 510 - but it comes with a 6-month warranty. I have had good and bad from many vendors. So far, Janty USA, Dietsmokes, Innovapor and Nhaler seem to carry quality 510s. TW is pricey and I have not been completely satisfied w/those attys.
Have you read this thread? Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Your 510? There's a lot of talk about the 510 burnt atty taste in some of the Joye attys and the possibility it's the primer burning to the nickle or ??? Some of us have gone to non-Joye attys and this has eliminated the problem for us. Good Luck!
I have an 808 adapter and cartos coming to use on my 510. I think you'll be happy. I've practiced refilling cartos and it's actually much easier than constantly topping off the 510.

I'm a firm believer it's not user error here, she's tried so many things to fix the situation with no success, I think a crappy batch if attys from House of Vapor is to blame.
What's nice is down the road, if you want to upgrade to a 510, a kr8 to 510 atty adapter costs a few bucks. The KR8 batts produce a higher loaded voltage and last longer, so they really make the 510 shine. Plus, you can buy cartos for a quick screw on solution if your in a hurry. Best of both worlds

Can't say I blame ya girl - if I'd had this many issues I might have done the same thing. Lifes too short n all that - here's me crossing fingers that your carto experience is world beating!
I've kinda got the same thing going on.
I've got 2 atties that came from cignot.com. They aren't producing much of anything. Vapor or flavor.
I've been using the 510 for over a month now, and have had some great success with it.
I direct drip, and have learned when I need to refill, how many puffs per drop, and when its flooded out. (i could possibly be getting more nicotene absorbed through fingers than inhaled!)
A couple of my older atties are still functioning great. I only broke out some new ones so I could dedicate an attie to AFB from Tasty vapor.
These 2 atties are getting very frustrating. I understand your anger. I am trying to keep them rotated out so I can see if they need some break in or whatnot. But I can keep rotating them with ones that work fantastically. If I didn't have those I would be screwed.
One of them is wierd, If I put too much liquid in, it wont vape, but nothing leaks out the holes either
It will only vape after I blow it out and then produces flavorless vapor for 2 puffs and then no more vapor. So you add some liquid only to find that 2 drops is too much, blow it out again, add 1 drop and you get 2 flavorless vapes. Tito's WAY confused.
I havent contacted Cignot yet because I'm trying to figure out whats wrong.
I understand if you ordered another brand, but if u cant return it, maybe order one more set of atomizers just to see if it works. Cause trust me, if you can get it to work properly. the 510 is a great piece of equipment
