I'm back. I won't make anymore negative comments about sellers. I'm stuck with my hardware setup. I bought a bunch of CE4 atomizers and 900mah 3.2 volt battery's. This basic setup has worked great with my old 18mg 50/50 base, lot of vapor! My problem is with my new, 12mg 50/50 base. It won't vape! It's thin like water, more PG like then the thicker VG. So I thought I'd do a small sample test (suggested on this forum). I mixed an equal amount of VG to my non-vaping base, the consistency looks right, but it still won't vape! Has anyone else ever receive base like this? Is it fixable? I have 500ml's of this!

Hi, Topwater Elvis, When I press battery button, draw on atomizer, and exhale, no vapor!
I think it's a hardware problem,not your juice. Try this take your tank off, wiggle off the chimney and screw the base and coil onto your battery. Fire up the battery and see if you get smoke. Do this several times (pulse the button, don't hold it down too long ,6 sec) if you do not see smoke your coil is dead or your battery is dead. charge battery, replace coil and try again to vape your juice. Even if you had nothing but water on your coil it would produce steam when power is added, so I,do not think it's a juice base issue. Hope this helps.
Sounds like a connection problem. Did the clearomizer work prior to adding juice to it? Do the CE4's reassemble? If so, make sure everything inside is finger tight.
Ps. I just looked up CE4's and they look like the disposable type so you may just have a dud or, as I mentioned, there is a connection issue. Make certain the center pin of your battery is not pushed down and be certain it is clean of fluid.

hi Nana Gail, I have lots of CE4 atomizers. I have tried this base with 4 different ones. When i fire up battery, i can hear it crackle, and see it glow, but no vapor. Like I mentioned before, I'm only using a 3.2 volt battery, I have lots of these and switched them when testing. I have some old base, 18mg, 50/50 that still vaps great, with this same hardware. So, I still believe it's bad juice. But, maybe I need a higher voltage for this base. Has anyone had to change voltages for different bases?
When I bought this base it came in 2 bottles of 250ml. I have only been testing from one of the bottles. When i tried the second bottle, with same hardware, VAPOR! That first bottle, I think, was just water! This second bottle works great!!! Thank you all for your time, and help.
Have you tried tasting the first bottle? I mean put a drop on your finger and just touching it to your tongue.
Yes I did, it tastes like water with a trace of spice. I was going to dump it, but maybe there's nicotine in it, that I can still use.
Dump it. Even assuming that it is water-based 12mg nicotine solution, and this is a BIG IF, you'll bend over backwards calculating. I've dealt with ecigexpress and their customer service is decent. Ask them again nicely.
hi all, Just wondering if my first bottle could be 100 percent PG (ordered 50/50), and if that's why it wont vape when using only a 3.2 volt battery.
It could be... there's really no way for people on the internet to figure that out though. I have 20/80 base that's thinner than normal 50/50 because it's cut with distilled water. Viscosity alone won't tell you much.
No vapor at all though, that does sound like a hardware problem. Are you blocking the air holes maybe?

Sounds like water to me. Some vendors dilute the VG with water but too much will destroy the flavor and vape.
I had some all VG once and added too much water, which gave me the same result... little to barely no flavor and no vapor

Update on bad juice. I gave juice to a local vape shop on condition that they test it first. Test results, 11.33mg. It's safe! The guy tried smoking it, it vaped! but not great. He said crackling indicates too much water! He said, it's still useful for thinning. He gave me 2 bottles of 15ml flavored liquid for it.----- I originally posted" EcigExpress is dangerous, and sells useless crap". Well that's not true! Sorry, EcigExpress. I overreacted! I should know better! Thank you ECF forum, learning a lot.
