E-liquid too thick

[vaper1960]

I got this vape juice (OPULENCE - REAL MONEY) and was going to try it out in my new vape pen (Aspire PockeX) All of my other juices are 70vg/35pg or 65vg/35pg and not too thick so I use a 1.2 ohm coil for MTL vaping. When I started filling my tank the juice was super thick... it mounded up like thick syrup so I stopped. I also tried to prime the coil (0.6 ohm) through the top hole and the juice wouldn't even go down the hole, so I added some 65vg/35pg to the tank and top hole. I have not tried it yet. The label listed ingredients but could not read (even with magnifying glass) so I looked online and it shows 70vg/30pg. Did I get a bad batch? It says on the side of label "Mod Vape"... does this mean it's mostly vg? Should I just add some water to thin it out? I hope my 0.6 ohm coil will do fine... all my extra coils are 1.2 ohm. Does the juice separate (vg and pg)? Good thing I ordered some tobacco juice that's 50vg/50pg (18mg nicotine... I use it to boost my 6 mg juices... call it "crack-bac") so I can mix and should be OK, but still waiting for it.

By the way, I might not care but the juice smells wonderful! Flavors of bourbon, vanilla, brown sugar, custard and cheescake... yummy. Has anyone ever got juice that was thicker than the ratio implies? Do I just need to shake it before using?

Always shake the bottle before dispensing into a delivery device.

Never seen any e liquid as thick as you describe, even 80+% Vg.

By all means shove some distilled water in it if you must. It sounds like pretty dreadful from your description.

Over 5% is too watery, is the standard. Maybe it's 10%. I forget.

Was it maybe really cold? When I pull VG nic base right out of the freezer it can be that thick. Sort of honey like.

 

[vaper1960]

It was not cold... over 70 degrees. I will shake my juice before using from now on. I will put a drop of water down the top hole for good luck... don't want to fry my only sub-ohm coil. Anna, Dreadful? What flavors do you like? This was from a vapebox free sampler so no big deal. I really want some "black and blue"... a friend vaped some and it smelled great! (I was still smoking the nasties back then so didn't get to try it)

 

[vaper1960]

It seems to vape OK... going easy on the coil, and the 65vg/35pg I mixed in is helping. Funny thing is it doesn't taste like it smells. Not bad, just needs a little boost, so I added my lemon/strawberry. Works every time (adds a little zing... freshness)

 

[vaper1960]

I shook the juice bottle... seemed to help. Must have separated (it was the first time I used it) No worries. By the way, when I first used my sub ohm coil (0.6) it did the "krackle" thing, so I just draw air (without pressing button) between vapes. Works fine now, but I still like my 1.2 ohm coil better.

yeah it's always a good idea to shake before use (esp because subscription type sites, you never know how long that sat on their shelves) if it is still too thick add a drop or two of distilled water until you reach desired consistency

 

[vaper1960]

Shaking helped, but still a bit thick... added my "crackbac" (50vg/50pg 18mg nic) problem solved.

I have noticed this juice clogs my coils faster than my other vape juices. I think it's because it is sweeter (brown sugar, ect) Too bad because I like like flavors like caramel, brown sugar and berries, but might have to rethink my choices because I can't afford to blow through coils right now. Like I said, mixing with the 50/50 tobacco juice helps.

 

[PapawBrett]

Add 2% Distilled Water.

 

[GOMuniEsq]

70% VG liquid is not normally syrupy.

There are a few things you can do to restore it.
Add 2% Water (0.6mL per 30mL)
Add 2% Pure Grain Alcohol or Vodka (0.6mL per 30mL, will affect taste)
Add Propylene Glycol (4.5mL per 30mL will dilute it to 60% VG)

Shake well and see how it improves.

I found 10% Water to be too thin so on the next batch I'll try 5%. One tip though , pre-measure the Water first because it's easy to go over on the scale if you don't.

typically sweet juices and darker colored juices are going to gunk a coil up faster
mine barely last 3 days, if i leave them for a week well.....it looks like something from the bottom of a swamp died in there
