Diy batch suddenly giving a weak vape

[Bostonsnboxers]

Yep, I knew that, I mistyped

And yes! Mine gets watery too... BTW, I'm using GP 100% VG (they thin it to the consistency of PG, but with what?)
The only other different ingredient I put in my more recent batches that got watery is EM.

The mystery continues...

Well I use pg nic base, add pg to bring it down to 36mg and freeze. When I pull it out of the freezer I add very THICK vg to bring it down to whatever I'm vaping. No thinning at all.

I was on an EM kick for awhile, but lots of people use EM way more than I do. I'm personally leaning toward plastic as the culprit in my case. ...but I'll continue monitoring (still have a few bottles of juice in plastic from before I switched over) and report back. This really could get quite expensive!

Is there a possibility of environmental influence ? Is the juice stored in a humid environment ?

I know you weren't addressing me but since this is something I'm experiencing lately I'll reply anyway
That is not a factor here. I live in OH (US) and it's winter here and our house is very dry.

What percentage of flavouring and what kind?

I've had this happen before. Not certain what it could be...


It could be -

1. Separation of flavours or PG/VG. Maybe try adding some VG? Maybe it didn't mix properly and the VG was mostly in the top part of the bottle.
2. If you're using multiple flavours maybe they reacted with each other? Kind of doubt it, but when this has happened to me it's always been with fairly high % flavour mixes with several different kinds.
3. Plastic bottles doing something to the juice as others have guessed at. I always make sure to rinse out my new bottles as I've noticed residue in them several times in the past.

Bit of a mystery that I'd love for us to figure out...it'll take some keen detective skills though

Hmmmm....I just had another one go
30 ml plastic bottle...capella french vanilla and ny cheesecake flavorings in 18 mg nic base. It's probably 2 months old at the most. It was fine 2 days ago, now it's like water

This was my last one to go. I think I've figured out what caused mine! I have switched over to all glass but have a few mixes in 30ml plastic that I didn't bother to transfer over and they're all going bad! They're soft plastic with orange cap...and for the lufe of me I can't remember where I got them

Been about a week now since i made the last batch.
Its all i've been vaping, havent had a problem with this new batch.
I made sure i shaked everything before mixing it,and thats all ive done differently.

So I think chrismp got it right about separation

Mine has done the same thing. Tested the pg, fine, tested nic base, fine. Two batches that I put TPA flavorings in, very weak vapor. One batch I just added some menthol drops to, that I made out of pg and crystal, good vapor. I'm thinking something in the flavors is doing this.

 

[Keekers]

Has anyone come up with an answer to why the flavors do this? I know if I vape the same juice for too long without switching then it mutes the flavor.

 

[martinc]

My TPA DIY did that too,but my Flavorwest/Lorann/Capellas dont...odd indeed.

Now I just do 10ml at a time and only my fav flavors until I get tired of them.

 

[Keekers]

Dang, that's a bummer! Do the flavors still have the same potency?
