Bad Juice?

[TheGreatVapor]

Hi,
I just got my 510 this past Friday and I love it. When I got it, I used a bottle of high marlboro juice and it was vaping like crazy with great throat hit. Now I'm out of that and I started using this new bottle of juice. I'm getting not much vapor, definitely not the same throat hit as when I was using the other, and seems like I'm filling the cart more often (maybe overfilling?) Sometimes when I'm inhaling, there's this gurgly sound. I've blown out the atomizer from the battery end and a lot of juice comes out. Am I doing something wrong? Is it possible to get a bad bottle of juice? I've been in a panic since this started happening. Could my atty be ruined after only 3 days?
Thanks for any help!

yes it is....

LOL Okay, I've flooded it. Just like I flooded my aunt's car when I was a teen, I guess. Do I throw it out or can it be saved? it's only a few days old!

Do you have another atty you can use to see if you have the same issue? Seems odd that things are going fine, then all of a sudden it floods right when you start a new bottle of liquid.

Yup. Blow it out from the battery end until no more liquid comes out. It should go back to normal after that, but if not, stand it up on a piece of tissue paper battery side up overnight.

Have a great day!

I am going to try another that I ordered. It should be in today. This juice has a little bit of a different consistency because it doesn't seem quite as thick.

Thanks for the suggestion. I guess I should have ordered a few attys. I'm still learning.

The thinner juice does have the tendancy to flood easier as it has less cohesive properties.

It's a learning process. Just don't fill the cart as much with thinner juices.

You could buy some Glycerine and mix a little in to thicken it up, be careful though, don't wanna take away too much flavor!
I did this with a couple of mine and it worked perfectly.

blow it out and fire it up. You should know immediately

Ah, I guess I had the mindset that more juice = more vapor = more throat hit when in reality I had flooded the thing and caused the problem. Thanks!

True indeed. I must have got a real thin batch from JC, added some Glycerin to it and now its vaping great, no more atomizer floods. Best part, the JC juice has so much flavor in it anyway, even cut 50/50 I can still taste it just as good as I could when it wasn't vaping properly

That's good to know. I just got a JC sampler and I can't seem to find the right amount of juice to put in without flooding it. BTW, I'm from MN too, but I'm in NY for the time being.

The Jc juice I just got seems thin too. I'm thinking of thickening it up some. But no matter which one I try, it seems to have the same under taste/tone to it. Not that appealing. I don't want to flood my atomizer either.

I think I know what may have happened. This bottle of juice I got sat in my mailbox for some time and was very HOT (I'm in south Louisiana and it can easily get over 100 in my mailbox). Could this have broken it down and liquified it? It's much thinner than the other bottle which didn't sit in the sun all day.

Hmm it very well could have, You are supposed to store them in a cool dark place, although mine all sit at room temperature in my own persona; storage box.
I'm thinking about getting a little mini fridge for them, couldn't hurt, and they might keep longer if stored cold.

Oh and yes, I had to so this with some of my juices at first at well. Glycerine really helps a lot in vapor production too. You awnt vapor? Add glycerine! makes sure its FDA food grade approved though
