What am I doing wrong (joye 510)?

[ribbery guy]

Ok so i've got my joye 510 and my tasty vapor juice. I'll fill up the cart like it's supposed to (about 10 drops) and everything is good at first, but the top dries out really fast and i have to refill more juice.

Everything should be fine because i'd expect it to burn juice as i use it, but for some reason it only dries out at the top and the bottom 3/4th's stay damp, but i'll still get those nasty dry hits and i'll have to refill again.

So the top 1/4 burns fine, it's just the bottom 3/4's of the cart that never burns and i'm constantly refilling. It's like the atomizer isn't reaching the bottom 3/4's of the carts juice.

This can't be right, is it? What am i doing wrong here?

The filler it comes with is ok but its not the worlds best at wicking.
Try dripping directly on your atty bridge - remove the cart filling and just use the cart as a mouthpiece - and really taste the flavor
*YOu want 2 or 3 drops max on your atty bridge, any more will flood it.
DOn't want to stick with dripping? You might want to try a cart mod. Many people like hte blue foam (its a filter material that is used in fish tanks, NOT the one with carbon in it) as it wicks better. There are many many cart mods you can try.
You'll be wanting hte cart mod forum if thats the case - Cartridge Mods - E-Cigarette Forum

You need to use a cart mod.
Try this one: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/cartridge-mods/52430-ptb-straw-mod-ptb-made-easy.html

Or get yourself some cartomizers for the 510 atty.

It's strange that the carts aren't wicking. Before I started dripping I used to re-fill the 510 carts with no wicking problems whatsoever. I even ordered blue foam to try a cart mod but I didn't even attempt it because the polyfill that came with the carts was sufficient enough.

Is your filler too tight at the bottom? You're going to want it as loose and airy as you can get it. Make sure to spread out the filler at the top once you get it back in the cart. If this doesn't work maybe try a cart mod like stated above, or direct dripping which is awesome IMO.

I almost forgot about this... check this out:

Highping's simple cart mod

I did try this cart mod and it worked great. It should take care of your problem. The best thing is you won't have to buy any extra stuff, it uses the same filler that comes in your cart.

I always just cut the filler in half to make just a plug. Put your 10 drops in, put in the plug and add a drop or two. Drains completely before you need to refill, and doesn't need topping off.

How long does the dripping directly on the atomizer last? Probably just a couple hits and i'm refilling again, right?

 

[CaptJay]

I can get around 10 puffs before i need to redrip - depends on the strength of flavor in hte juice.

 

[ribbery guy]

Oh man i just dripped directly on the atomizer and took 4 big hits. Wow what a difference that is. I'm dizzy right now from those hits. Not bad at all. Thanks.

I'll look into those other tips too since i'm probably not going to want to refill every 5-10 hits, but as of right now, i'm pretty much doing that anyways.

 

[Txvap3r]

If you like dripping, there are some great tips that make dripping a breeze, i got mine from nhaler and they're damn good. I'd still try a cart mod for when you can't drip on the go...i use a blue foam plug, but i hear the PTB and Polyfill plugs work really well as well.

 

[KuiHiggins]

Try highping's cart mod out first. It's the easiest and it works. The juice is free to flow in the bottom of the cart and the plug sits at the top, makes contact with the bridge while the juice is sloshing around behind the plug. It keeps the plug wet and you can vape the cart completely dry.

+1 for highpings cart mod, just tried it out last night and it really does drain the cart dry, of the flavor starts to get kinda ify just tap the cart a couple times to dislodge any stuborn drops and keep going.

This can't be right, is it? What am i doing wrong here?

nothing...that's pretty much the way it works unless you use one of the cartridge mods....

 

[ribbery guy]

ok so i'm dripping now directly on the atomizer and everything was fine at first and now i'm getting a nasty burnt taste mixed in with the taste of the juice.

This burnt taste is not when it's drying up after i drop the three drops and i've taken several hits. I'm talking my first hits after refilling with three drops.

I've dried blowing out and cleaning the atomizer and starting all over and i'm still getting a burnt taste.

Any ideas?

Let the juice soak into the atomizer more. You'll probably need five or six drops after blowing it out and cleaning it out. The burnt taste is normal too. I just let the juice soak back into it for a while and it goes away.

 

[ribbery guy]

Really 5 drops? Everything ive read only said 3 drops or it will flood. I'll try that and let it soak next time.

 

[ribbery guy]

Just put a couple extra drops and let it soak for like 5 minutes and im still getting that nasty burnt taste.

 

[sheep]

On a dry atty, yeah it may take a few more drops. I used to get the burnt metallic taste all the time, now I'm very careful to keep everything in there nice and moist. A bit of flooding won't hurt you either, unless you have an auto battery that the juice can leak into and ruin.

Actually your comments on the 510 bring me right back to my first week with it! I had the exact same issues. Went exclusively to dripping for a while (it really is easy and works well) but now I use the simple straw mod.

 

[sheep]

The burnt taste can take a bit of time to get rid of. Just keep the atty wet. It will go away!! Honest.

 

[ribbery guy]

Ok thanks for the advice. Hopefully it goes away like you guys say it will.
