It probably your atomizer. Most companies state that the atomizer may work for 1 day or 2 or 3 months. Its hit and miss with these things regardless of what brand they are. I'm pretty sure some of these folks own stock or are affiliates of Riva and Joye products. They are gonna tell you what you have is crap and a bottom feeder toy cig because its not what they are using. Check the atomizer and if that doesn't work I would contact the manufacturer.

I guess you want the guy to go back to analogs. There are "crap" devices on the market and that is one of them. We want the guy to be successful with vaping and it is unlikely to happen with that device. Those of us who have vaped on many different PV's over many months or even years and know what works well and what doesn't, try to lead people away from the poor performers and towards ones that work well so they don't give up out of frustration.

And for the guy to "check with the manufacturer" he would have to know Chinese.

To tell the guy that he is using a bottom feeder piece of crap is doing him a disservice. You and a couple of others on this site have the same comment for every thread which is to throw what you currently have in the garbage and buy something else. You gave your opinion and so I gave him mine. He never said he hated his current pv he said something was wrong with it. I've tried a few different pv's myself and I believe that some you call junk actually happen to be great pv's for a large percentage of people looking to start vaping. The op's problem may be a 5 dollar fix and your trying to talk him into buying a whole new kit. Did you ever think to ask the guy if he was happy with his current electronic cig before you called it crap? What your doing is wrong and its not helping the vast majority of new vapors. It comes off a bit pompas and appears that you have other motives. Thats my opinion on the issue and I will post it eveyrtime I see one of you self proclaimed vaping gurus bashing someone elses pv.

I never could fall in love w/ my 510; sometimes I felt a wee bit like an unwanted step child.
Happy that joye 306 atty seems to be socially acceptable since I love that one.
If batt can release roughly 2 amps then you can get huge clouds; even if batt looks like analog.
Many reviews base comments on minimal (subjective) vapor production differences.
The dual coil has a real vapor production difference; it does guzzle the juice though.

I'll compare my experience and knowledge with yours any day. You are a "noob" acting like you know what you are talking about and you don't. You are definitely entitled to your opinion but don't act like you know more than me or many others who have been doing this for several years and have used 15+ devices of all different types. Those of us who are veterens have read thousands of posts on multiple forums from new vapers and the issues they most frequently have. Combine that with our own experience, we have a good handle on what works well and what causes frustration for 95% of new vapers.

The only person doing the OP a disservice is you wanting him to stay with a device that will never get better and most likely get worse. When you have vaped more than a "minute" and have used more than a "couple" (if that) PV's maybe you will understand.

Man sounds like you must have invented e cigs. Excuse me if I don't bow down to you. You told the guy his stuff was bottom feeding crap and then told him to get a riva 510 or 901 from libertyflights (your same response in every thread). What you didn't tell the guy was that the 510 batteries only last about 10 minutes longer. The vapor production is identical and a standard 510 cart only holds a tiny bit more juice. You can do a quick google search of issues with a riva 510 or 901 your recomendation and pull up link after link of people having battery, vapor and atomizer issues. This holds true for 95% of all e cigs. Somewhere along the way of you becoming an e cig expert you got a little biased as well.
Letting the man know about alternatives isn't the problem I have. Its how you act like what he bought is crap when it isn't and you offer an alternative thats pretty much the same without even figuring out if the guy is happy with his current pv. This is my last post on this thread but I will offer my opinion to any new member asking for unbiased advice.

Thank you for displaying your ignorance. You completely proved my point that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. A Riva 510 is NOT a standard 510 that you are comparing. The Riva has a 900 or 1000 mAh battery that will last most 5-6 hours on a charge. The 510 you are comparing is the standard 180 mAh battery that might get an hour and a half on a charge. With the Riva, the battery stays at or close to full charge much longer, which is what provides a warmer, better vaping experience. In addition, the 510 atty has a lower resistence than the 4081 that the OP has which inherently provides a better throat hit due to the lower resistence. Not to mention the vast vaping advantages to manual batteries over auto batteries.

As I said, when you have vaped more than a "minute" and know the difference between a Riva 510 and a standard 510 and have more experience than one mini PV, maybe you will understand how to help someone continue to vape instead of just prolonging their frustration.

And since you insinuated it, I vape neither a regular or Riva 510 or even a 510 atty or any Joye product. I have no connection with these products but have vaped them in the past.

Wow your knowledge is mind blowing. How do you know that the op wants more throat hit? How do you know he wants something that burns warmer? A warmer atty changes the flavor. You wouldn't know because you didn't ask the guy. As stated before my main problem with you is your attitude towards other pvs. If you truly want to help a person new to vaping then its important to find out what they want. Instead all you do is sling insults and act like a jackass. I don't care if you know every single thing there is to know about vaping. I don't care if you've tried every pv on the market and I really don't care how long you've been vaping. Talking a newbie into buying more stuff when they may be happy with what they have will turn them back to analogs just as quick as a bad pv. IMHO your so called expertise adds absolutley nothing contructive to this forum. I guess we will have to agree to disagree. As long as I'm allowed to be a member of this forum I will continue to comment on every thread that I see you bashing someone elses pv.

It's obvious you don't care about being a knowledgible vaper so you can provide useful advice to frustrated posters. Your lack of experience and knowledge is evident in your posts even to yourself since you wouldn't respond to my pointing out about your confusion over the differences in a regular 510 and a Riva 510. Your only goal seems to be to attack those who have more knowledge than you. Your attitude is quite immature and helps no one, especially new members.
