Vaping is pissing me off

Let's not start with the insults folks.

I don't know what your doing with your atomizers for them to last such a short amount of time, but ...battery voltage to high or faulty charger, are you using a mod with an overly high amp output? ...but that suprizes me to hear 1 to 3 weeks then dead.

Well my luck is holding and my 510 atomizers are standing the test of time, sorry to hear that yours obviously do not~Rick

Agreed. I have yet to have any atomizer stop working and I have purchased attys from at least 5 different suppliers.............

I have posted in this thread before, this time with a solution

BATTERY mod.

it works wonders, I swear. Battery life is great and no risk of flooding the atomizer. One thing is that it is bulkier

Sar the reason i have high expectations and i am trying to expel my high expectations onto others is because i have 20 x 510 atomizers and all of them work perfectly! *tested* with no DOA or faults in any of them and 3 of them have stood the test of time thus far, almost 3 months time to be precise ..Either i am having unprecedented luck with the 510 or this is the norm ...

Rickstar, I think it comes down to personal experience. Maybe I just have unprecedented bad luck, I am not sure. I too prefer 510 to the other models I've tried -- I wouldn't have ordered so many spare atomizers if I didn't.

When I bought my first PV it was the penstyle 801. It was only because so many people loved it and recommended it. It was a novel experience when I got my first kit, but I wasn't completely sold. I bought two other 801 kits from different suppliers to see if there is any difference. It was the same thing. It was just not anywhere near what I was led to expect reading the pages of this board. I was not able to stop analogs, although I was able to reduce the number of cigs I smoked.

My next purchase was 901. To me, that was the real thing. That was when I knew that I will be able to stop analogs completely, and I did. Didn't have much luck with atomizers either, but I was not worried about that much until I started hearing about the possible ban on e-cig sales.

When I purchased my first 510, I didn't know too much about it -- actually what I was reading wasn't too good. There were many stories about ejuice leaks, batteries turning on/off, inconsistency. But one thing that did impress me was that everyone agreed that the throat hit was very good with this device. When I learned that there was a manual switch battery on sale and that the device was redesigned to somewhat prevent leaks I jumped and bought a kit. My expectations were not high, but to my great surprise, this thing was really great. I felt fortunate that I had no problems with leaks that I've heard so much about and I had no problem with batteries. Well, batteries last only 45 minutes for me -- had I known at that time that other people were able to get 2 hours of power I would not have been too happy. Now I have USB passthrough, I have portable power pack, and I will get one of the mods as soon as they have 510 adapter, so I am not bothered by the bettery.

Are you doing any special maintenance with the atomizers that they last you such a long time? And why do you have 20 of them? Do you alternate all of them, is that the reason why they last so long?

Your horror story is EXACTLY why I did my own research and went with the E-cig.com E8 super mini. I don't care what the herd thinks, I had functionality and the atomizer issue in mind!


My order came in fast, its a GREAT e cig....and best yet, if an atomizer goes, I just replace it with a 1.50 cartomizer.


Thus far I have been running on the same one that I have refilled since it arrived. Totally analog free, I dont even want one in the slightest!

There you go! ...another 510 fan-boy that agree's, Alright! Elendil .....I'm sure there are more, come on peeps don't be shy i know there is plenty of fan boys-girls lurken....

If there really are 510 or Dura c atomizers floating around that last a max! of 3 weeks *With normal! use* then i hope they never reach my shore...

3 x 510 atomizers -- 8 and a half weeks! an still no end in sight
20x 510 atomizers -- no! DOA's and all of them working as good as the next with consistent amount of draw and vapour each and every single one....

I personally have never experienced an e-cigarette so perfect in so many ways, I'm an unashamed 510C/DuraC fan-boy and i make no! apologies for it ..I don't know what else to add or say....


Oh!! yes, actually i do...I just bought a custom made 510 Mod from a modder on this forum and i also just purchased 2 x cr2 3v batteries from dealxetreme..





A 510 running at 6V! ..Just imagine it *sigh ...well soon i won’t have to imagine Vapouring bliss~Rick

 

[deewal]

Won't really matter if vaping is pissing you off once they ban it, will it ?

 

[rickstar009]

Sar oh so you were talking about the first run of 510's and Dura's? As they had massive defect problems because the earth on the batteries were not being properly grounded and as you say ejuice leaks, batteries turning on/off, inconsistencies..That was with the old 510’s and Dura’s ..not these new versions, well not in my experience with them so far anyway ...I am talking about the manual C versions of the 510 or Dura ..we on the same page here mate? Because i am sure you have had trouble with the 510 and i don’t depute your claims for a minute, my experience and many others have seen there 510C and DuraC’s performing outstandingly, Joytech updated them with these new and mightily! Improved versions…


My brother is using 1 of the atomizers and my sister is using the other, I am vaping on one as well ..The 3 of us started using the 510C's at the exact! Same time and it has been as i said 2 months and 21 days now! and none of the 3 atomizers have had any problems or seem to be in any way slowing down in vapor production or died for that matter... unprecedented luck? Maybe but i doubt! it as many other individuals have experienced the same with these new! 510C’s as me…

See i have had, and i say had! unprecedented bad luck with the 901, to me the 901 is poorly constructed and very inconsistent ...I still have nightmares over that experience because of that particular device....


The reason i have 20 x510 atomizers is because i am hoarding just incase the USA bans are enforced ..And i iterate, just incase!.. so noone start panicking please... I have 30 or so more 510's on the way, that’s how much i believe in and love this thing, if it was a bad e-cigarette and didn’t work then i would say so, but with the 510C i just can’t say anything bad about it because it is just plain and simply perfect, again it’s IMHO


I have had no! special maintenance regime Sar, I just puff and put down *Repeat*, I just lay the 510 on its side when i sleep and i have not hung the atomizer upside down at night to drain the liquid out to keep the atomizers longevity like some folks on here recommend, I have not had to clean out the atomizers or even thought about servicing them, I just had no need at all to do so, be perfectly honest ...the vapor production has not slowed down in almost 3 months now in all 3 of the 510 atomizers ..my brother and sister's 510 atomizers are still working as fantastically as mine after all this time ..Trust me i can’t believe it myself, but it’s factual and undeniable...


Where are you buying your 510’s from Sar? Try Jeff at Janty or David at Eastmall for your 510’s~Rick

Lol can't argue with that logic

And it's very true, it wont matter if the axe finally falls..



Let's just think happy thoughts and pray that this does not come to pass ..either way I'm set for quiet awhile! heh~Rick

I went out tonight (3-day 901 smoker starter)) with my e- cig to the Pubs, and enjoyed myself.

I don't mind giving back, what I get, so putting my foot-forward is not a problem.

My batteries ran out.

Had to smoke a Marlboro. For medicinal purposes.

its all good. when I started the esmoking I had to smoke both the ecig and analogs. what I did was I cut down the analogs, then slowly I cut them off completely. Even though you don't get too much of the urge, you still might feel a little sick from not having the other chemicals in your system.

After about a month of no analogs, if you go to a party or something and have one, the analog will taste like feces!

Then you will know that the ecig is awesome!

Maybe I should go with the 510. I just dont want to keep spending more and more money. I dont mind buying new atomizers, I just want them to work. The Totally Wicked atomizer I ordered are sort of working, they are just SOOOOOOOOOO weak. Nothing like the real dse901 that I got from the smoke safe. Could you guys say there is a general consensus that the 510 is overall a better e-cig? I just want something semi reliable. I know I will need to buy new parts and what not, but I have 5 atomizers and 5 batteries for the 901 only some of the amtomizers work a little bit. Would I be happier with a 510? I know its subjective but I want to keep vaping and right now im .......

Been using the Dura-C for almost two months now. I use an 8pc rotation system (4x Dura-C's between 2 people). It's performed reliably. Dura-C is definitely the one I would choose. I am getting a Janty Stick to try it out.

But, stick with the Dura-C...that is becoming quite the "good boy" in the market.
