e-liquid temperature question

[tgg1304]

Do certain liquids burn easier than others? do VG and PG react the same or differently to temperature.

The reason I ask is cause I like a warm vape but some of my liquids seem to burn easier than others making it difficult to get that worm vape that I enjoy

Hi tgg1304,

Sorry for the late reply.

I have never heard that PG or VG burn at different rates, but they do flow at different rates; VG being thicker.

Since PG flows better than VG, it's possible it would move through the wick slightly faster to give a different vape experience.

If you chain vape or puff hard, high VG liquids can have a hard time keeping up, sometimes resulting in dry hits.

I'm just throwing out some ideas for you to think about and perhaps they will make sense in your particular situation.

Good luck.

I think the answer to your question is YES.

I have some liquids that do seem to burn more easily than others. They tend to be the sweeter more "sugary" type liquids.

What kind of gear and juice do you use? That could help us troubleshoot on how to improve your issue.

yes some juice do get dark easier...like SchmidtyKY said it has to do with the flavoring not the VG or PG.

 

[happydave]

yes
VG boils at 290 °C
PG boils at 188.2°C
also there is some amount of water in our e-liquid

PG auto ignition temp 371 °C
VG auto ignition temp 400 °C

more likey is that the flavors are burning... seeing is how e cigs do not achieve 400 °C

for a consistently warmer vape I would recommend a dual top coil clearo such as the iClear 16 or Iclear 30

with a wick and being wet with eliquid . I don't think the coil even gets to 300 degrees, if you think you are burning something, you are in need of cleaning, or recoiling and rewicking what you have or buy a new coil and wick combo..
your battery device (PV) , tank or rba - and choice of coil ohms will make a difference in your vape being cool or warm..

Yeah, some flavors burn easier. Many fruit flavors tend to do that in my experience. I'm sure others too. Different chemical compounds vaporize and burn at different temps. happydave gave specifics.

On an unrelated note, the "worm" vape sounds fit for a rooster but most of us don't relate. To each their own. IDK what they will come up with next. jk

EDIT: Good point from JulesX too. Also make sure it's wicking well. Or back it down a bit.

Thanks for the thread, that was helpful.
I did notice that I needed to adjust the battery power to the liquid, some of them are thicker.

For a warmer vape. Turn up the voltage, and use a shorter drip tip.

 

[Fantasio]

Does the use of a plastic drip tip help ?

It's the length. Plastic drip tips don't get as hot as the metal ones though. I mostly use SS, and I do use delrin from time to time.

Thanks! I'll have a look to this.

I've never had issues with any e-liquid at sub-ohm levels except... I would not recommend cherry. Cherry flavors tend to get this awful taste at high wattage that is so bad that I cannot describe it and would rather have someone tap dance on my tongue with spiked shoes. I suspect that the cherry flavor my be cooking or something...
