Hi all....I've been vaping on my Joye 510 for about a week and a half now....loving it. My problem seems to be with one of my atty's. Produces vapor, but not much throat hit (if any) as compared to the other atty's. Tried blowing it out and cleaning with hot water. Seems to be real easy on the drag as compared to others too. Is this a sign that its on its way out? I also tried a dry burn and the coil never got "red". Any help would be appreciated, as I'm new at this!
weak atty after week and a half?

You would know a lot more if you could get an Ohm (resistance) reading off of it. Know somebody who has a meter?
ok...my husband can't find it in the plethura of toolboxes he owns....will have to wait until tomorrow...its late! (BTW- I tried the atty again, and it seems to be a bit better...maybe it needs to dry out more after cleaning?) I cleaned it this morning with hot water....
I'll wait until tomorrow and see what happens...

I have a bunch of weak 510 atties. Cleaned and still weak vapor. Ohms on all are 2.7 give or take a few tenths. Funny, I have a wide band 510 atty that I bought from TW way back in May. The Mesh bridge is all burned up as is the wick. This thing flat out can burn some juice. It won't die. As long as I can keep juice to it,it works. Now the 5 others from the same place are dead. Its the atties I bought from China that are the weak ones.
I do have 12 Joyes that I will try after these go dead.

If they are reading 2.7 Ohms (and the meter is accurate) then they certainly aren't "dead", but they are on the high end of the scale.
Can you get them to glow with a dry burn?

No glow
2.7 is high?
On an accurate meter, I consider 2.7 to be on the high end of the scale for a true 510 Joye atty.
Sometimes as low as 1.9 and up to 2.5. Based on my personal samplings.
well...I actually think my atty is resurrected.... Seems to work fine now...I am thinking maybe I didn't allow it enough time to completely dry out after I cleaned it...? I'll keep an eye on it and hope for the best. (By the way...my husband's meter is MIA....so testing it was a no-go) Thanks everyone.

Yes....Let it dry, then you'll have to vape with it for a little bit and it may surprise you how well it starts to vape.
I have an atty from TW that I bought back in July that still works best out of all of the three I currently have in rotation. The 2 black ones I have are less than a month old; one of which has been very easy on the draw from day 1 and produces little vapor and no red glow. I boiled all of them for 5 min's, put them in the oven @ 350 for 5 min's and the two best ones work pretty well, but the one black one that is easy on the draw is hopeless and has been from day one. Initially, after boiling/drying them, I wasn't so sure that worked at all, but vaping with them for a while the vapor really started kicking in.
Another thing I notice when I'm vaping at times I hear the gurgling sound a lot and I guess I'm flooding my atty but I'm careful not to let the liquid pool at the top. I've been turning them upside down letting them drain before bed and the next day I use one and it's STILL gurgling, so I blow it out and more liquid comes out! That surprised me since they drained over night so always blow it out in addition to draining.

Scottbee: Today I used my last addy from China on my straight 5v PT. It worked ok but not normal. Didn't think to much about it. Then I got nothing. Tried an old atty and still nothing. Anyway turns out the switch on the PT went bad. Went to Radio Shack and picked up 2 more. Connected the switch up and put on the last China addy and it would work for about 5 sec then die. Wait a little and it would work for about 5 more seconds.
PT is connected to a USB hub powered from wall rated at 2.5amps.
Anyway I tested the ohms and it was 1.4 ohms. If my PT outputs 5.2vdc by my calculations the addy is drawing about 3.7amps. 5.2v/1.4ohms=3.7 amps.
I think the high amps burned out the little switch. Also no wonder my batteries when used with this atty were dead in about 20min.
Seem an atty with a lower resistance is more harmful then on that is high.

Well, I must say something so I can get some input.
I have been vaping for a month and a half, and have gone through 2 atty's and my 3rd is very difficult to get anything out of it, I really have to hold the button down for quite awhile.
I use Joye 510. Am I right in thinking 6 weeks vaping pretty much continuously for 6 weeks and go though 3 atty's is ok??
Yes I clean them, boil them, drain them, dry them with an air compressor, and even tried denture cleaner. 3 are done.
I know this because I used a new one today.....
What do you guys think

my first atty went 10 days in.i was being real careful not to vape dry or to wet,but after the straw mod it was getting lots of fluid but i always blew it out and dried overnight.ive sent mine back to get another.and see what happens,guess i need spare parts no big deal?cheap fulfilling hobby,thats for sure/
