Up, Down, or Sideways?

[Spiker]

OK, so when NOT vaping, what's the best way to orient my 510 when I put it down? Horizontal (flat on a table, say) or Vertical (like in a shirt pocket)?

Asking because I sort of figured that if the cart was full, putting it in a glass (like a pen holder cup) cart up (batt down) might flood the atty, then get a mouthful of juice when I pick it up again. However, this might be helpful if the cart was near empty, as it would drain out of the cart and into the atty, to get those last few drops!

Conversely, the opposite, (full cart, batt up) might starve the atty if not used for a while, and force priming?

Not sure if that all makes sense, but I am a noob (less than a week vaping), but I have gotten more than one mouthful of juice!

either way is fine.

I always go Cart down, batt up.

I don't have leaks this way.

If my cart if fully topped up then I lay my ecig flat, if it's anything less than that I put it down in an upright position to let gravity help me get the most out of it. Just like you said, it depends on the juice situation.

I carry it around disassembled in my PCC so I don't really worry about orientation. Are you using manual or auto batteries? I would think that automatic would be more sensitive in that area than manual...

 

[Spiker]

Thanks for the quick replies! I have manual batts and a PT, mostly thinking about the PT usage, but just in general. As for 'upright', Dee, is that batt up or cart up? Or do you change, based on the cart level?

If my cart if fully topped then I lay my ecig flat, or I slant it with battery end up in the air. When there isn't any danger of flooding, I use an ash tray and slant the battery end down.

At night, before I go to bed, I slant battery end up in the air.

a shot glass. what a good idea. I would think (cause my PV is floating around in the mail) that the cartridge would be the most difficult part to maintain, you basically have a little glass of water in there and setting a glass of water on its side would make it spill right? Also I just watched a review where the guy said the cart leaked if he left it horizontal on a surface for awhile. I just couldn't think of a way to set my ecig up strait (bat up cart down) without accomplishing a balancing act (used to do this with pens but they always fall over). A shot glass would be great for this though so thanks for the suggestion.

LOL!.....Oh god I've created a monster! Just suck on the d^&n thing! (I predict by summertime there's gonna be more of us sitting around the bonfire playing guitar and vaping than smoking!)

Buddy, you have no idea... I got it bad, and I got it good! Lookin' at mods, 5 volt stuff, etc! BTW, I got some of the Blue Foam to play with, if you want some, lemme know, got more than I need!

Also, maybe gotta get some auto batts to use hands free while playing music, huh?

Thanks again, Canute!

That's why I got an ecig that comes with a PCC. I can always store mine cart down with no worries of destroying my auto battery. Also for the convenience of taking it with me in my pocket and not worrying about leaks or breaking the ecig and carrying extra carts, battery and having a charger with me. If you never leave home I could see just using whatever like a cup or pencil holder though.

Pocket Protector users unite!? Then I wouldn't care, we could rinse in the event of a leak.

i usually leave mine just hanging out of my mouth

I agree, just don't put it down and you have no problems (other than running out of juice)

Seriously though, auto vs manual makes a difference to me on this. I store my Blu cart down, bat up because it's auto and I run into problems when storing with the cart up. My Chuck I usually store sitting upright on the table, cart up, but it is sealed, so the worst I get is a little juice leaking into the drip catcher, but other than that, no issues.

It doesn't really matter, because when it is cold that juice does not flow much at all in the filler. It flows more when it is warm and in use. In order to get residual juice in the filler to get to a "starved" atty after vaping a while, many use the "thermometer shake" holding it like a thermometer with batt (mercury bulb) down, and flicking the wrist, like when you wanted to get mercury level down in a thermometer. That will generally give you a few more good drags before you need to top off. But in general with a 510 it doesn't make a difference.

OTOH, if the atty is getting a little clogged and gurgly you can vape it with the batt end up a bit past horizontal, and the juice will flow towards your mouth and out of the atty holes.

I have a M602, the PCC for it won't be out till mid December, but thats the main reason I got this model so it better be good.

I want my powerpal

It's the only way to fly, man.

I have a Dallas Stars putter head that I use. The hole where the shaft of the putter would go is the perfect size for my 510.
