Boge, Smoktech, and Johnson Creek

[Tallmaan84]

So i got my new Johnson Creek smoke juice in last night and am so far disappointed. I also got my new SmokeTech(sp?) cartos in. I filled up my old Boge cartos with different juices as well, and even dripped some of them. I am HIGHLY disappointed on the vapor production. I only dripped max of 4 drops and filled the cartos with the condom method. Although not letting them sit very long i think some vapor should be noticable. I bought all 100% PG and am quite disappointed. I am wondering if i did something wrong or what but im not happy. It still hits like a normal juice but no vapor . Any advice would be helpful.

JC was one of the first juices I bought and I hated it. The low vapor production is partially due to the 100% PG. I found the juice to smell like rubbing alcohol and have a nasty aftertaste. BUT, after putting it aside for a month and trying it again, it is much, much better. So, let it steep.

Also, it's possible you've overfilled your cartos. This is easy to do with the condom method. It you hear a gurgling, or any noise of liquid moving around when you vape, you've flooded the carto and the atomizer can't fire properly. You'll still taste the juice a bit, but you'll get next to no vapor. Unscrew the carto from your battery and blow (hard) into the mouth end until no more juice is spitting out the battery end. Wipe the threads on the carto and on the battery and before re-attaching.

Won't that affect the juice lvl in the carto? I didn't that on a couple but i could still drip some fluid in from the top. The taste isn't the problem. I don't like a couple of flavors in the sampler but that was to be expected. Thanks for the quick response.

Not really. Whatever you blow out will mostly be the juice that can't absorb into the filler. After blowing out, don't try to add more.

I'm not saying you definitely flooded the carto (if you hear gurgling, you did). I never got much vapor from my JC juice either.

PG= thin juice, high flavor, low vapor
VG= thick juice, low flavor, more vapor

100% PG just doesn't provide much vapor. I usually use 20-25% VG in my juices just for the vapor.

So a nice mix of the two would be optimal for vapor and flavor?

Yes a nice mix of 50/50 or 70 PG/30 VG is the way to go. BTW, you are still getting the nic from the juice but you don't see vapor. Get some VG from walmart and mix it.

Yeah, but anything over 25% VG is too thick for cartos. I try to get 80%PG when I buy pre-made juice or make my own.

uhhh I used 100 VG before since the juice was free. I might try and boil the old cartos that might be the problem i have noticed they were a bit hard to pull on.
