Can steeping change the thickness of the juice?

[Roselie]

Just wondering. I got some juice at a semi-local vape shop Friday night and was great. Found the perfect wattage for it on my MVP and loved it. But it's odd, the longer I've had it the harder it is to puff it. I've only used it in my Protank II and even tried it on my ego battery. I have disassembled my tank and cleaned it. Even tried a new coil.

The problem would seem that I need to up my wattage, but if I even go one step higher than where it's at I get the lovely burning taste. At this wattage it doesn't burn, but it almost feels like I'm trying to draw a somewhat thick milkshake through a straw and not much vapor production and the taste is meh.

Tried voltage and got the same thing. .1 volts higher and it starts to burn, but at this voltage I get the same thing as above.

I haven't had a problem like this with any of my other tanks/juices on either my MVP or my ego batteries. Any ideas?

As always, thanks in advance for any help .

I don't really know if it does. But, I don't notice that any of my juices get "thicker" after steeping.

Color change?] Yup.

Flavor change? Yup.

Viscosity? Not so much.

If you want to test it though, try removing some of the wick material from one of your atomizer heads. If it is that the juice is too thick, that should cure the problem.

Just my

Thanks for your reply. I didn't think it did but wasn't sure. About the only thing I can think of is I changed the coil from a 2.5ohm (or thereabouts) coil to a 2.2 and this juice just isn't having it hehe.

I will go ahead and try removing the top wick and see if that helps. Thanks again for your help.

The coil change is the likely culprit! It is very surprising how much difference a .3 change in ohms makes!

What was the coil/carto/tank/rba/deliver-device you're using on that MVP?

For some coils, as they get gunked up, the draw gets harder. You can tell if, when you change out the coil and use the same juice, it works again.

Then see if you can clean it.

Also cleaning the threads/air holes may help.

EDIT: You changed the coil, but was that bad from the start? "Not having it"? Lower ohms needs lower voltage too.

...But it's odd, the longer I've had it the harder it is to puff it....

I have it at 3.3v which is the lowest it will go. It seems to actually be a little better on my ego battery so I'll just leave it there. Just wish I could get the flavor/vapor out of it I could when I first got it, I really enjoyed this juice. Will try cleaning the tank/coil again and see if that helps.

Thanks again!

3.3 v at 2.2 ohms is very reasonable. In fact, too reasonable for my taste lol.

Back to a burnt head, it happens a lot, you will figure out what works best after playing around with it. Like I said, make sure you give it time to wick, and try priming the head before vaping it. Youtube is full of videos on how to prime carts and atty heads.

Good luck, and happy vaping!

Not being in the tinkering mood, I put the rest in a syringe, capped it and threw it in my "vape drawer" lol. Gave the tank a quick rinse and filled it with a complimentary flavor, strawberry. Strawberry has never failed me. Played a little game of musical tanks and all is well lol.

It just stinks because it was a dragonfruit blend, my favorite vape flavor. This is the 3rd I've tried and I love them all, but all of them have been so temperamental with me . I have yet to have a problem I couldn't figure out with any of my other flavors/tanks/batteries, just every dragonfruit I have tried.

Sounds like a wicking problem. Common with thick juices. Also, pinched wicks.

Possible solutions:
* Removing a "flavor wick" if it's too compressed or otherwise making more room for the wicks to work.
* Thinning the juice a bit...without wrecking it.

the 100%vg i get actually thins slightly over time. i think a week. made the difference of hitting smooth for a couple tanks. and clogging on the first tank.
