YouTube - Video review of the JOYE-510 from E-SmokeyTreats

This is a video review of the Joye-510 from E-SmokeyTreats.

Battery Life - 3.5
Vapor production - 10.
Throat hit - 10
Cut off - 10
Down time - 10
Draw Weight (new category, see below) - Mouth inhale - light to medium : Direct inhale medium to heavy.
Switch reliability - 10
Consistency - 8
Overall reliability - Tentative 8.
Customer Service score - 10
Shipping - 10
Overall score - 9

Hardware review criteria -

1) In all cases I will use a fully charged battery, removed from the charger within 5 minutes of the start of the review.
2) In all cases I will use a clean, freshly primed atomizer. All atomizers will be past the "factory prime" stage in order to provide accurate expectations.
3) In all cases, I will use a brand new cartridge, unpackaged on cam.

All hardware will be tested over time before it is reviewed. Each review will simply be a visual summary of the information I have gained from using the hardware over at least a 24 hour period.

Review scoring as as follows;

Battery life - Scores the full life of the battery, from first draw to flashing light. - 1 point per hour.
Vapor production - Scores the amount of vapor visible on exhale.
Throat hit - This covers the amount of throat hit ON AVERAGE. Some models give a better hit when warmed up so this will be taken in to consideration
Cut off - Scores how long the e-cig can be drawn on before it cuts off and stops cooking the atomizer.
Down time - How long is the user forced to wait after a cut-off. Longer wait = lower score.
Draw weight - This defines how easy or hard it is to "drag" from the unit. Free-flow to Lung-buster. This is un-scored because it is very subjective but should be mentioned.
Switch reliability - Does it not light when it's supposed to? Does it light up when it shouldnt?
Consistency - Does the E-cig provide reliable, consistent vapor production and throat hit?
Overall reliability - Does the e-cig just work or does it require voodoo magic and constant fixing to make it go?
Customer service (This only applies to the supplier)
Shipping (This only applies to the supplier)
Overall score - This is the final, overall score and is NOT an average. It encompasses my feeling for all aspects of the e-cig and supplier experience.

Spot on Terraphon. I picked one of these up to have a smaller unit to couple with my penstyle and also be able to drip. As you say, it is a great unit and the throat hit is out of control. The batteries life is an issue, but as you say, just bear that in mind when you are using it and you will be a happy camper---Apprecate the effort--Sun

Thanks for the comment, Sun.

I mentioned the PCC in the video, as well...I think I will review the PCC tomorrow and include it as part of this post because I think it is important for people to understand what it is, how it works and how it makes the battery life score jump dramatically when it's used.

I think everyone should have one and I think every manufacturer should make one for every e-cig model. They're amazing.

HAHAHAHAAH that face when you took that 2nd drag was priceless lmao.
Great review man, that looks to be the wide band dura style atty, which is the best one. I have a dura and the joye 510 one I received today from cigtech. The generic thin band ones fit a bit different and I had to sandpaper a bit off the atty side of the cart to keep it from melting. After I did this its rockin and rolling.

*edit* sorry I laughed, cause that was the same look I had on my face also. Great review I watched it again.

I will say this. I have had it get hot...ish...

I've never gotten it hot enough that I didn't want to touch it or that I was worried about the cartridge melting. I reckon that anyone that pushes it that hard is either vaping super-weak juice and isn't getting their buzz on or they're just doing it wrong.

Like I said in the review, I love this thing.

Going to order more parts ASAP. I don't want to risk being without my 510...EVER.

Yeah I haven't had any problems with the dura c atty, cause the bridge is diff. They are wider and not as pointy. The joye 510 attys I got today seem to sit way deeper in the cart. It didn't melt but a super tiny bit, but enough to get a bit of plastic. I can't take more than about a 4ish sec drag off this thing with 36mg juice, it just kicks too much azz. There seems to be a different design between the two, so prlly is gonna require a different bit of finesse between them. So far they both rock, I retired my 901 good unit but the 510 is my kit of choice now. I have seen pics of some that looked like someone tossed it in the microwave for 5 mins it was warped so bad. You would think burnt tire would be very evident before that happened heh.

    Good review, agree on all counts..love my 510, hate the batteries, love the PT.

    One suggestion, can take or leave it. maybe you want an 'out of the box' using factory carts across all models, for the 'joe public' review you mentioned in the evo review, but then also a single standard liquid that you use with a blank cart, so it can be used as a real 'standard' across models?

    Otherwise, you get carts with more VG...more vapor, but...it's not really in comparison to any other model's carts.

    Terra, great review as always. I think I gave the 510 a 9 also on my review. It's such an amazing device, I have a hard time communicating my love for it to my friends. Battery life is indeed pathetic, but after I got the batteries going through a few recharge cycles, it lasts as long as my 901 batteries lasted because I have to take less drags to get satisfied. I have a passthrough for mine that's a little finicky, but my brother got his PCC a few days ago and (like you) said it makes the 510 into a real monster.

    I thought about doing a split review, with factory carts and then with dripping a "stock" liquid. I thought it might be a bit ponderous, though.

    I think maybe I'll give it a shot, however, and see how it turns out.

    I also realized that I need to add a (non-scored) description of the draw weight on each review...That's something a lot of people care a lot about.

    It does...the PCC is the best thing since sliced cheese...seriously.

    I'm thinking about modding one for my 801...and my (brand new) 901...and my Evos...

    Seriously...I love it THAT much.

    I love my 510...but hate the cart life it just sucks up the juice way too fast so I just end up dripping


    oh i noticed your band connecting the atomizer to the battery is different much wider, while mine is much thinner.

    did they make different versions of the 510? what is the difference?

    There's a bit of a mention of the different style atomizer a few posts up.

    I have to be honest that I am very new to the world of the 510 so I don't know THAT much about them, just yet. I hadn't even heard of the "thinner" banded atty until last night, in this thread.

    Apparently there's no major difference...I don't know yet though :(

    EDIT : Yes...they suck up the juice BIGTIME.

    It's soooo worth it for me, though :D

    Not to get this off topic but I am using a pcc with my 510 and it works great. I would however like a 3ml plastic squeeze bottle to toss in my pocket with it since it seems my carts run dry a lot. I use a 15ml now and while it's not super bulky, I feel a 3ml would be awesome.

    HEAPS of different bottles and they're cheap...I think the 3ml dropper tipped bottles are like 20 cents each.

    Sorry to bring this up but as I said before I`m just looking thru the window for the mailman.

    So I read that the juice consumption is bigger than the Evo...?

    Getting a little concerned here about the nicotine level. If I`m vaping 1~2ml a day of 18mg that gives me approximately 36mg per day nicotine which is pretty high even compared to my previous analog usage.

    So If I double that I`ll be nearby the lethal doze... :confused:

    Terraphon do you have any information about that?
