Juice hard to suck/vape?

[dj9928]

I bought some new juice today, 11mg PG Tobacco flavour, put it in my cartomiser but its really hard to suck, I blew the cartomiser out etc so no problems there, and the cartomiser was working fine yesterday, so can only blame it on the juice, any ideas? The PG juice does seem to have better taste than VG, It actually tastes like tobacco

Hi there, what ratio of juice pg/vg 70/30 50/50 or more vg than pg, maybe try putting the juice bottle in some hot water for a while and it will thin it down a bit but not effect the taste and nic value, just a thought?

Try filing the cartos with the taryn spin method, works every time

Try cleaning off the carto threads with isopropyl and dipping a pin and getting into the holes in the threads. get into the hole in the middle of the carto threads too. Sometimes they just get gummed and need cleaning. The draw itself is tight it sounds like, not just little or no vapor but airflow is fine?

Hopefully the carto has a defined center air channel - take the endcap off and see if you can see light through that air channel. Sometimes the air channel is or becomes a bit crooked blocking airflow and needs to be gently straightened by sticking a very straight thin paperclip into the mouth end of the central air channel and carefully out the threaded end hole and try to get the air channel to be straight enough so you can see light through it. Don't be rough or you can break or cross wires down there and ruin the carto.

Also - use manual batteries so sucking has less to do with getting vapor made.

In addition - an overfilled carto will not vape well. it will act like a flooded atomizer and not get warm enough.

And one more thing - juices with no VG at all make weak looking vapor and the vapor may disappear in your lungs. If you want more visible vapor then buy decent juices with some VG in them. I use 80PG/20VG in cartos. Thin enough to work well in anything, enough VG to smooth irritation and make a bit of nice vapor, but not so much that it would dull nicotine hit or flavor much. I also avoid all dark, cloudy or opaque juices - they often drop carto-clogging flavoring sediment.

And cartos have limited lives even with the best juices. I can get about 7-10 days use out of a carto.

Is there anything else you did between when the carto worked and then did not with the new juice?? Like did you attempt to clean or rinse the carto? Wet cartos do not work.
