Very well could be that the batteries are dying--how long ago did you get them??

The best thing I invested in and learned to use a multimeter to check the battery voltage (works great for atomizers to)--I know other things can affect voltage reading--but for me it has help me determine dead, dying or some other problem.

Using multimeter for 510: here we go..first set your meter to 200 OHM the touch the red probe to the black probe and you should get a reading of 00.0 if you dont and you get something like 00.2 just subtract the # from the reading you will get from the atty. Ok put the RED probe into the small hole on the battery side and the Black probe into the small hole on the SIDE of the atty or on the thread you should get a reading of 2.2 - 2.9 thats a good strong atty if you get anything above 3.2 send it back..lol the lower the # the better

Now the battery is done the same way EXCEPT set the meter 20v in the DCV section RED to the metal (Dent) on the battery or if you have a Mega just put it on the end that connects with the atty and the Black try and put it on the little gold band You will need to have someone hold down the batt switch while testing ..A half charged battery should read 3.6 - 4.2

I got a multimeter like this one:

along the way I have tried all(most) of the mods and fillers. Here's my 2 cents:

The blue foam is my absolute favorite. since switching over to the blue foam a couple months ago--it has significantly reduced my dripping and/or topping off the cart. the 510 cart holds about 12 drops, push the blue foam into the liquid, fluff back to the top of the cart. The blue foam is smaller than the other fillers and basically acts as a plug. has also reduced leakage and cheap.

My second choice is fluval 2 plus found on amazon or at petshops. its an aquarium filter that is easily cut to size for carts of all sizes. fluval makes many types of filter material, but the 2 plus works the best over all.

Pyramid tea bags were too much work for me and never seemed to wick as well. polly fill and such were either too fibrous or would give off a burn taste.

Ultimately it comes down to personal preference.

Happy vaping

When I went camping, over all my PCC being charged in the car worked great. I would just charge it while were out driving aroung, usually will recharge about 4 510's before I need to recharge the case.
I also have a car adapter that you can plug standard plug equipment into, has a surge protector. works great--I'm pretty sure I got that one a walmart.

In a week, with intermittent charging the PCC didn't let me down.

happy vaping while camping

Hey Kragax--knock on wood and politicians--if the ban comes through for new york--I am certain we will find a way to get nicotine to you. Colorado as far as I know, isn't squaking yet--be happy to ship some to you if you ever need. !!!

and mixing is fun

sounds pretty normal.

Here is my current solution....with or without the wick.


Blue Filler

4 days ago I finally got the hang of the blue cart filler from strictly e-juice.
fill an empty cart with 10-12 drops of liquid. push the blue foam into the cart to saturate, add a couple more drop to fill the cart with liquid and then pull the blue foam up to the top of the cart (like regular filler).

The blue foam acts to keep the liquid from draining out too fast, allows just enough liquid through to keep the atty moist and vapeable. since I started using this--top off less, drip less. e-cig stored LED up or LED down does not seem to make a difference. significant decrease in leakage and flooding.

I still drip in between when I am vaping more frequently--but find with blue filler/liquid in the cart the atty doesn't dry out and I get a consistent vape.
