Which 501 Atty for 5V Box Mod?

[Bageone]

I purchased a 5V Box mod with on and off switch and at first I thought it was faulty. It seems the problem is the atty. One atty will only give me one toot while the other one lets me vape away. The problem is, I have no clue which atty is which.

Any help would be appreciated!

This seems to be a problem that pops up routinely but is often ignored or disputed by the 'works fine for me crowd' regarding the cheap Fairchild 5V regulators. It seems real Joye 510 atties (2.1Ω) will trip them, causing a shut down, usually in a few seconds. The various semi-clone 510's (around 3Ω) seem to work fine (they draw less current). Checking the ohms with a meter would verify. I assume you may have one of each. It would be best, unless you feel the need for the superior Joye throat hit, buy a knock-off. SLB/DSE, Bauway, and Expert are brands to look for.

Where did you get your box from?
