liquid help/other questions

[jacob bonilla]

i just got my first vaporizer in the mail and i was confused at first how to put the liquid in but figured it out ( picture it came with was somewhat unclear and gave terms i didn't hear before ). However i did watch a video on youtube where some guy just put his liquid in straight through the drip tip and it seems like it would go into the coil and out the crevice where you originally put it to begin with or is this a bad idea?

2. is it okay to store my liquids on my counter where the sun can hit it?

3. do i need to shake my liquids or should i shake them before putting into the tank? i think they were about 60% PG 40% VG

4. How would i know when my coils go bad if there any visual way to tell or is it just by the bad flavor when your vaping.

1. The only time you would put eliquid/juice directly in the drip tip is if you were using an RDA (rebuildable dripping atomizer).

2. I wouldn't store juice where the sun can hit it. Cool, dark place is best.

3. Shake before putting in your tank.

4. No visual way to really tell. When you start getting less vapor and the taste is not so good then it's time to change your coil.

Welcome to the world of vaping @jacob bonilla!

2. It is definitely best to store your liquids away from the sun. Sunlight can decrease flavor, weaken the nicotine, and too much of it can cause the juice to go bad I believe. Heat also affects flavor and nicotine, so storing your juices someplace cool is ideal as well.

3. You don't strictly need to shake them before putting them in your tank, but it helps make sure that the juice is evenly mixed before filling. Shaking for 5-10 seconds should do the trick.

4. You will start to get a bit less flavor from your coils over time, which is an indication that they are 'going bad'. Slightly diminished flavor doesn't bother me much personally. Once a coil has truly reached its limit, though, you will absolutely know it. The flavor just gets bad and it's pretty clear that it's now time to change to a fresh one. You can also tell visually by the coil looking pretty gunked up and brown/black.
