DIY E Juice no vapor?

[Waltersmc]

Alright so I tried making my own e juice with just VG no PG no nic just to see how it played out. I made a 10mL solution with 8mL VG 2 mL water but when I put it in my kanger pro tank mini with an Itaste vv variable voltage battery it makes no vapor. Even at 5 volts I figure it would be the liquid was too thick but it didn't make any I even tried many different ratio from half and half to more water. Nothing worked. I'm a little depressed after hearing how easy e juice is to make and how much Vapor VG is suppose to make any help is greatly appreciated!

Mhh.. using at least 50/50, personally 70/30 best for me

Thanks but I have tried 50/50 and 70/30 but I still produces vapor I'm just confused I've tried ratios others find to work but mine doesn't

Are you saying that none of your ratio's make vapor? That is odd. Is your iTaste reading your Kanger? If it says NON it's not making contact which means no vapor. That's the only thing I can think of that could cause such a problem. If this is the case you'll need to take a small screwdriver or toothpick and work the iTaste's pin up and around then check to see if you get an ohm reading. If you do get a reading you should get vape. Let us know please!

Yea it reads 2.7 ohms and I don't get like absolutely no vapor but it might as well be compared to what I was getting with vendor sold juices. It's like you can barely see the vapor and not much of it and VG is suppose to make lots of vapor just kinda frustrating I've honestly tried nearly every ratio and am confused why it doesn't work and the air bubbles are raising in the tank so that must mean it's wicking

2 ml of water per 10 ML batch sounds like a bit much.
i use 1 mL of distilled water per 15 mL batch..
so if your making a 10 mL batch use about .6-.7 mL of distilled water.

 

[happydave]

have you modified the Kanger coil heads at all?

 

[Waltersmc]

Uh no I've never touched the coils before just soaked them in water and let them dry and ok I'll try .6 mL

 

[DoogieTony]

20% sounds like way too much water.

 

[Waltersmc]

Already I'll try .6 mL

 

[Waltersmc]

I just tried .6 mL and it still isn't giving a thick cloud it's very transparent and low to no amount of vapor

i take one the flavor wicks out of my kanger heads and center the other flavor wick then put the top tube back on. sometimes you need to squish the wick towards the center or try to fan out the fibers on each end of the wicks to prevent leaking after you get the top tube back on.

this is what i do to my kanger heads. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...586-kanger-evod-how-re-wick.html#post12575982

So it's at 2.7 ohms. You've tried 5 volts. Go up to about 5.4. It may be too much, but it's the max it should be. If this doesn't do it, it'll be a wicking issue for sure. I'm leaning towards the wicking issue.

 

[Waltersmc]

I had it at 5 just to see if it was because the juice was too thick for heating

 

[DetraMental]

You set the voltage to twice the number the ohms are. If you have 2 ohms you can set it to 4 volts, as an example. That's just a rule of thumb I use and it works pretty well. Also, with thicker juice it may take longer for juices to wick thoroughly. It's been awhile since I have used clearomizers so I don't have an allotted time. You can do some primer puffs to help it along. Draw on the e-cig without pushing the fire button. Do this several times before firing. This should help draw some fluid onto that wick.

Thank you!
