Vaping in the Cold

[Darrgoe]

Hello fellow Vapers, it has been just over a month since I gave up cigarettes and started vaping. It has at times been a tough hall. Trying to find tanks & mods that work for me has been a challenge, but I think I found a nice combination that might work for people new to vaping. I am using a SMOK Micro One mod with a Nautilus Mini Tank. This gives me a nice tight draw that I miss from smoking cigarettes and the Mod gives me a wide variety of variations like Temperature and Wattage control and stays consistent all day. I have discovered that I don't need a lot of wattage to get a satisfying vape (using 7.5 to 9 watts). I buy my juice & coils at a Vape Shop and although I know I am paying a premium price, my Health is worth it.
I live in Canada and work outside. During winter months it can get quite cold. My juice got too cold (thick) and leaked through the coil that was ruined from not being properly wicked. Anyone have any tricks to vaping in the COLD?

In the winter I wear my mod closer to the body =) for Example in the inner pocket. In General, use of the RDA is no problem. But the beginning to use the RDA is difficult because the feeling is not like cigarettes.

The only things I can think of is keep the tank in an inside pocket as close to the body as possible and right before using wrap tank in hand to pre warm it. Aldo might try a thinner juice if you can't find a thinner juice add a couple of drops of distilled water to it

Use a juice with a high PG ratio.

high PG

may be VG? at PG high turnover. VG is more viscous...

My clouds seem to be thicker when it's cold..
That said I vape 100% VG in tanks like the TFV8 at 125-130w..it doesn't take too long for those tanks to warm up..usually in two good pulls and the whole tank (and the juice in it) is warm enough to keep blowing those thick clouds..

PG is, for lack of a better word, antifreeze. Higher pg ratio will keep it flowing more freely.

Be careful with metal drip tips.

I had the impression that leaking is expansion, same as happens in high temps but when it warms back up rather than when it sits in a hot place. Could try vaping constantly when exposed to warmer. Most tanks rely on a slight negative pressure inside to control the juice flow.

I agree about higher ohm coil and low watts to get great flavor. Could take a look at DIY to save a lot of money.
