Bad e-Juice?

[DJ Dave]

I have a question regarding juice and maybe a problem with a particular batch?
I have a favorite ejuice called "Watermelon Jolly Rancher" I always purchase it from a local place that usually has a really good following.
I was told it was a mix of PG and VG, mainly PG.
I used to vape it in my atomizer, an ego-t version that came standard. I never had a problem.
I then started using the smok Dual Coils and since I loved the flavor it was only natural I would want to use it in the cart too.
Now since I bought the last bottle, I have not been happy with it at all.
When I puff on it, I get SOME vapor, but not enough to even be seen when I exhale. Also it seems to be really hard not to cough when I intake.
I though well maybe it was just a bad cart. With that being said I had another cart, I tried again using a different dual coil. Same result.
I then tried using my standard atomizer with it. I get the same result except even less smoke.
What the heck am I not getting? I don't understand, and by far this is my favorite flavor and don't want to have to give it up.
However the local place is quite high on the price for it, and if this is the result of something they did I cannot justify $25 for 20ML. any longer.
Any suggestions?

check your battery

If this is a local shop and you feel comfortable, take it back and explain your situation with the juice. There could of been an error on their part and maybe they used all PG. I personally think that's expensive for 20ml a juice, not shipped. There are so many good juices out there that cost much less than that and there are some good juices out there that cost around that.

Wow, DJDave, that is very expensive for 20ml. You can get great tasting eliquid for much less than that, including shipping costs. I hope you find a solution to your problem, but seriously, I would shop around for some more vendors.

It's not the battery, I have like 12 of them. But thanks

 

[DJ Dave]

As for the cost, yeah I used to buy all my supplies and everything from this store until I realised how much they are raping me on prices. However they are the only place I have seen to make the two flavors I like so much. I thought about trying Tasty Vapor, it looks like I can custom order the flavors and recreate it. However not sure of the quality. Anyone ordered from them?

 

[jaz3370]

Tasty Vapor is great. I have ordered several from them. I enjoyed every one.

Well, my first thought too was the battery. But if you have tried several different batts with the same result.....There is probably something wrong with the juice.

But, you knew that.

I've had entire boxes of DC cartos that sucked. Juice should vaporize even if it's crappy juice. Since you've eliminated the battery as the faulty part, try dripping the juice on a new atomizer. See what you get.

I'm betting on a bad batch of cartos.

 

[Mindbender202]

Bad cartos would be my guess. Do get a burning taste at all?

I think it's the juice too. Mixed juice can vary a bit depending on how it's made.

There's a World Liquors near me that is the only place in Kansas City that I've ran across selling juice locally, and they were expensive compared to online as well.

Fortunately I mix my own juice. After spending about $50, I have enough DIY juice to last me for at least another 6 months.

If I were you, I'd start here

Perfumers Apprentice - Watermelon Flavor

and mix your own. You'll save a ton of money. And you get to play chemist. You can mix according to your preference at a fraction of what you'd pay online or off.


In any event, I'd take the juice back and try another batch. Could be that one was messed up during mixing.
