Is it just me? It can't be, but maybe it is, lol! It seems like the longer I have a juice, the less vapor is produced. I've only ordered from 3 vendors, but it's the same with all 3 - even at 3 different pg/vg ratios (50/50, 70/30, 80/20) and between ALL 25 flavors. I'm using a brand spanking new atty right now with a freshly charged battery, and the vapor is just, well, meh. As I draw from my PV it feels like I'm taking in a HUGE hit, I'll get a nice throat hit on the inhale (some flavors more than others) and it really feels like there's a lot of vapor there... then almost nothing comes out on the exhale. It's probably just mental, but I feel very dissatisfied when there's "nothing to show for it", even though I surely felt it going in. A new or freshly cleaned atty helps, but it's still way less vapor compared to sampling on "vape-mail" day. Does anyone else seem to notice this? Does anyone know the reason behind it? Could it possibly be something I'm either doing or not doing on my end? I seem to go through this every time I get new juice... I start to think the vapor of whatever I'm currently using sucks, then I get a new batch and BAM, awesome vapor... then it slowly becomes less and less until I get more new juice... and the cycle continues.
Lose vapor over time?

That is strange.
I've never had liquids vapor ability depreciate. Months old juices are still producing clouds.
I was going to say its probably the delivery system, but you mention its on a new atty so that isn't it either. Some do have a break in time I believe.
You could add some VG, as it produces heavier vapor. It will reduce flavor and dilute the nicotine content though.

Another thought... are you holding it in your lungs longer? I find I do that sometimes. The longer you hold it in, the less vapor that is released. Try this, take a normal hit, don't inhale and just exhale. Lots of vapor?
Like I said, just a thought. Let us know how it turns out.

maybe your battery is dying? I mean maybe it's already had too many charge cycles and isn't putting out enough power anymore. I don't know/
Determined to narrow it down, I just popped open 2 more fresh attys... because some ...... (no names are being said) put one of the new attys in a pot of boiling water to be cleaned with the old one, lmfao!! (did I mention I'm down with no names????)
Well, the new new atty is rocking! Lots of vapor! Maybe the old new one was a dud (or needs to be broken in)? I dunno. Problem solved, though! Perhaps it's just coincidence that I always have an old atty on my PV when I anticipate vape mail and always change it out for new juice.
That's a good trick though, Robin! I'm the sound guy at a venue and part of my job is to keep the audience in check. I've run into a few vapers in the crowd and I always come off as the cool guy when I tell them to just be more discreet about it and hold it in longer... and I'll usually flash my Vmod so they know I'm not out to bust balls, but am trying to maintain civility in the place. It's tough making everyone happy!

Glad you have it figured out!
I practice discretion and find that sometimes I do the hold it in for awhile even when I don't have to.
Thanks for this suggestion as well! I'll be sure to remember that next time I have trouble. 1 of my 18650's is about a month old and I've had 2 others for about a week now, so hopefully they're not dying yet! The simplest problem is always the last you look for. I'll go crazy trying to troubleshoot sound issues in a pinch, only to realize it was because of 1 bad cable! After power (making sure everything is on), cables are always the first thing I check!
