Can CHEAPER eliquid cause dry/burnt hits?

[Unior]

here is my situation.....
1. STM rba base freshly wicked. I put a tank of this brand of juice in & not half way through I started getting dry/burnt hits. 50/50 flavor #1
2. STM with ni200 OCC Head using temp. control. About 3/4 through started getting dry hits. Not burnt as much as tasteless. 70/30 flavor #2
3. Lemo2 stock coil with new wick. It worked fine through almost one tank so I filled up again. Not long after this started getting burnt/dry hits. 70/30 flavor #3.
Is this just a coincidence or is this brand of juice causing this & if so how?

I never had that experience. Especially since all premade juices I used so far were about 70PG/30VG (been a long time ago).
What juice do you use? What PG/VG ratio?

 

[Unior]

Ordered some from Wolfejuice.com. Ratios were 70vg/30pg for 2 of them & one was 50/50.

Oh sorry. You wrote that already. My bad.

One usually gets dryhits when the wicking can't hold up with the juiceflow. That can happen through bad wicking (what happens to me mostly^^) or higher wattage than the build can handle.

Did you have the same problem with juices you used before or just with the cheaper juices?

 

[Unior]

Not with the STM rba Just got the Lemo 2 so it could be that. I had used the ni200 occ on a tank of another juice before this one & had no issues. That's what is weird though the OCC is pre made & shouldn't have the wick issue although I know that can happen.

If I dump my tanks & put juice I have been using into them & try that out & see what happens. Do you think that would work? And just leave the builds like they are?

Try running a paperclip or pin through the center of the wick to create a passage. I had dry hit issues with my Subtank Plus with 70vg or higher if I hit it over 25. One of the members on here told me to channel the wick and haven't had an issue since. Be sure not to push too hard and pop the cotton thru the side hole or it will flood. I used a small safety pin.

I hit my vape hard as I used to hit my cigs. My lemo drop sucks with dry hits. No dry hits with my magma clone or stock coils on my kanger mini. Never a dry hit on the kanger with either one of the provided stock coils.

Do you stick the pin through the wick perpendicular to it or parallel (start it in at the end of wick)

Run the pin through the little hole on one side of the coil and out the other side. right through the center of the coil and wick ( parallel )
