Juice and vape question.

[vaperlvl1]

I bought a simple 25$ vape pen and I have noticed that my 24mgjuice doesnt produce as much vape as my 0mg juice. Could it be that my pen is not "Strong" enough? I have already solved this by filling my tank with 3/4 of 0mg and 1/4 of 24mg. I was just wondering if I should buy another pen? Also which pens do you guys reccomend? The more simple and smaller the better.

Hello @vaperlvl1. Welcome to ECF.

It could be that 0mg juice is a higher VG percentage than the 24mg.

Don't wanna bother you but do you mind sending me a thread/post about VG? I wanna learn

Not really that much to it. Juice with a higher VG content produces more vapor.

Sounds to me like your new juice is not a high VG juice. Are you using a single pen or comparing two separate pens?

Same pen , jsut different juices

Sorry posted at the exact same time as @retired1

Sounds to me like you simply need to select a higher VG juice.

Hello and welcome to the forum @vaperlvl1. Glad to have you here!

More on the subject: Purity of PG, VG and PEG - The Short Version | E-Cigarette Forum

PG = Propylene Glycol - the "flavor carrier" of e-liquid. A secondary source of "throat hit", but not as strong as the nicotine concentration. Some people have a sensitivity or even an allergy to PG. It's very thin.

VG = Vegetable Glycerin - the "vapor maker" of e-liquid. Used as a sweeter in many food sources, and also as a skin emollient. It's very thick.

PG and VG are often used together in different ratios in e-liquid. For example, a 50/50 PG/VG ratio. Some juice vendors offer a range of different ratios as far as PG/VG.

When batteries are not fully charged, or weak, then that can also cause it but since you say it happened as soon as you switched juices then it is the lower VG of the new juice. Also, just because the new juice does not produce as much vapor does not mean it is weaker in flavor and strength. It is the opposite, because the lower VG juice will have more of a throat hit and be harsher, plus you have nicotine in it which will also aid in the strength and harshness of the new juice.

Sometimes it'll tell you on the bottle, look for two numbers with a slash inbetween something like 50/50 or 30/70 both numbers will add upto 100.

Be careful with higher VG juices. Some devices can't handle the viscosity of the thicker VG based juices. Just a heads up. If your device can't handle it you might end up burning a coil or worse....the dreaded DRY HIT!!!! Noooooooooooooo!!!!
