Vaping Plastic !!!!

[emonty]

Hi,

I have bought empty 510 cartridges from The Electronic Cigarette Company. I am dripping on 6 Volts and after a day or so vaping I suddenly saw that the mouthpiece is missing some plastic. It appears that it has melted away. So IMHO the mouthpiece is too close to the Atomizer, gets too hot and melts. Anybody has the same experience and if it melts like this, that means I am vaping plastic which is not very good for your health... 8-o8-o8-o8-o

I use 3.7 V 2400mah mod battery, and it also melt on 510 CT. only 3 drag at a time.
But never had a melt 801 CT yet.

If you're only dripping with 6v, I'd suggest just trimming the carts. I cut off about 1/4" maybe a little more of the cart with some scissors.

I was unable to avoid melting carts, regardless of "lining it up" properly with the bridge. Can't melt plastic that isn't there

THXS: I got it this way now and no more burning ;-)

I'm vaping on a stock 501 battery and have had the same problem. My carts usually do really well for a week or two, then start to melt. I couldn't see the picture, but didn't really need to. On mine, there's like a crescent shape melted out of both long sides. I haven't had this problem in awhile, but before I figured out what was happening I ordered a few new atty's thinking that was the cause of the nasty burnt taste.

You have to line up the cart parallel to the coil tray. This is perpendicular to the bridge. Here is a good picture of the alignment in this post by eclypse:

In the beginning I had the same problem of melting the carts on the flat side. Never a problem since I began lining it up correctly.

thxs, I figured it out: cut off some from the mouthpiece, as I do not use the wool, just drip

For dripping on the 510, I highly recommend using this mod. No more worries about melting plastic. It's what I use for dripping at home.

I cut 1/8" off cart and drilled 3/16 hole through the cart, been dripping with no plastic at 6v.

I have been using a EC-801 mini got it from .smokefree-ecig.com it smokes well and has a good vapor hit, anyone have any input on this unit it came with all the chargers and two cigarettes. but the batteries seems to kick on when I am not dragging on it. just wanted to know if anyone has any input on this mini unit. Thanks

I am sure somebody has an answer, but why put it in this thread??

It's not very good idea to use plastic for mouthpieces, but your problem is propably caused by defective atomizer. It clearly overheats if the plastic around it has started to melt. Try a different product!

the correct answer is cut 1/8 to 1/4 in off your carts

I dont see how you can do a 510 at 6v. To me it is way too hot to vape very long..

Have you tried going to a 5V for your 510 atty or even using a 801 atty at your 6V?

There are adapters to go from 510 > 801.

Much better atty for 6v. IMO
