I wonder if any of the GG family has this experience??

Yes I have noticed it on a couple of the round carts I have,Thats why I mostly drip.

Dont you put a cartridge on first,

I always drip and I use mouthpieces without the brown extension because its very near to atomizer and sometyimes I vaped plastic on other cigs I had earlier times. Dont use GG with long catridge because power is very big on GG. Its almost 3 times more that 3,7 volts

Yes, this is common on 510s.

I have not had it happen on a 901 even though I use the proper 901 carts that are longer than the 4075 carts.
Higher heat from the 510?

Be sure to insert it this way so the cart doesn't melt...

Sucking directly on the atty is called tail-piping and we do it through frustration and laziness or when we don't have an AFS

I do not use wool, so that is not the issue

-501 versus 901, I will check if it happens with both or only one of them

Yea I ditched the filler material and inner cart long ago. I went with the J118 cart because it fits the 510 and 901 very well and you can pull the cup out of the cart assembly. That is the useless part. Then you are left with just the mouthpiece.

I have not had this happen with a GG as I dont own one yet, but I have had it happen with a stock 510. The first time I must admit was due to improper alignment on my part, I had it the oposite of the pics above.

I trimmed that cart about 1/8th of an inch, and aligned it correctly, then a week or so latter had the trimmed one totally melt down one side worse than the one in your pic.

At that point I just cut off the thin part upto the air intakes and use it just for a dripping mouthpiece. This works great, no need to worry about alignment when dripping, no need to worry about hot lips by tailpiping the atty either. I am currently using the cut down one on my protoge for driping.

I have noticed the whistle tips for 510 have thinner plastic on the part that would possibly melt, but I melted a thicker round one.

Now that I have my protoge in I notice it runs a LOT cooler than my stock 510 (same atty) This is because the adapter acts as a heat sink drawing the heat away from the atty while on stock 510 it just has the little battery that cant soak up nearly as much heat. As a GG also has more of a heat sink due to the adapter I would think it would act in a similar fashion and run cooler.

The AFS would also cool the atty a LOT I would expect!

I think VaporHead4Life is referring to the shape of the atomizer and cartridge, not the filler. If you insert the cartridge in the proper direction it shouldn't touch the atomizer.

Ahh, yes, that I was thinking of myself also, thank you!

Thanks for the good explanation, what I have now is:

That is close to how I trimmed mine, I doubt you would have trouble with burnt plastic using that for dripping and do not need to worry about alignment either.

With a round tip, alignment to mouth/button is a non issue.
With a whistle tip this is nearly impossible to achieve if you must align it with the atty. I suppose a GGTS would solve this for filed cart users as it is spinnable and lockable via the ring in the middle!
