Vaponaut Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I just got my 510 kit and I filled my first cartridge with some juice. It vap'ed good the first few times and then had a burnt taste to it. I have taken it apart and even flipped the filling around to see if that fixed it but it didn't. Anyone else have this issue with the 510 carts and if so, any suggestions??

Vaponaut Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 BTW.. The first kit I had was the kr808 type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Getting juice juice to the atomizer from a cartridge has always been an issue. Most people end up trying direct dripping or they switch to cartos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaponaut Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 The liquid seems to be getting in between the atomizer and the cartridge (where it fits together).. is that normal? seems like a waste of juice to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaponaut Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hey Jeff.. thanks for the quick response man... yeah I ordered some carto's also with my order because that's what I'm used to with my 808. I filled one and didnt like it much.. it may just be the supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffb Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yes, thats normal. Its not enough juice to be concerned about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdDog Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) It sounds like the atomizer is dry. The carts will dry out fast and it will make a burnt flavor because the atomizer is dry. You really have to keep the cart wet. Also sometimes the filler will start to melt or burn. Same goes with the cart if not lined up properly with the bridge (pointy piece in atomizer with wire mesh on it.) Try removing the filler from the cartridge and set it aside, just in case you still want to use it later. Add 2-3 drops of liquid directly on the atomizer and take a draw. Is that any better? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h14QDp4v3O4&feature=player_embedded Darn you Jeff!!! Edited March 1, 2011 by BirdDog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaponaut Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Hey Bird.. yeah I did that.. I had been thinking of switching to a drip tip for awhile now.. it's an awesome vape and may just do that.. I just really didnt want to keep a bottle of liquid in my pocket all the time when I'm out and about.. especially while driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdDog Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Which cartomizers did you get? Do they have a silver bottom? You may want to try another in the pack, sometimes I find a dud. I use cartos when I go out and drip at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaponaut Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 Yeah they do have silver bottoms (the threaded part). I will try another and see what happens. Maybe I just need to let it sit for awhile so it is able to suck into the "fibers". I'm just used to the kr808 refill being so fast and lots of juice.--->> fill the rubber lid it came with, push the carto down on it, wipe the juice off that side and vape away for a few hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want it to look slushy. I usually will spin it in my hands for a minute or let them sit for about 15 minutes before firing them up. Give them another go and good luck. The silver ones are the recommended ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaponaut Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 I will do that Birddog.. and Thanks for all your help and advice. I think I have one good one going now so hopefully I can take that one with me and vape on it throughout the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
