I wanted to vape some Fire and Ice today but much to my dismay, I was *barely* blowing out any vapor at all! I even put it in clean atties thinking the one I was using was all gunked up, but *still* no vapor production. My juice, btw, is 18mgs, 50/50 pg/vg. Oh, and I had a fully charged battery. I started vaping a different juice and blew out TONS of vapor!

I've had the juice for a couple weeks and it was fine that last time I vaped it, which was less than a week ago. Got great vapor production then. Today, I even shook the heck out of the bottle of juice...but hardly any vapor upon exhale.

Anyone else ran into this problem other than just myself?

Is it the Fire and Ice from Vapor Bomb? I got a bottle of the 12 mg a few days ago and mine is vaping fine. I got the 80/20 pg/vg, so really your blend should have even more vapor. Maybe shoot them an email?

It's ironic that that is what I happen to be vaping now. Didn't really think about it till I read your post!

That's what I thought at first then tried it again a few more times and what not, but still hardly any vapor. Really, it's not a big deal. I barely had any left anyway. I got more than my money's worth bc it was a very tasty liquid and I enjoyed it. Just the last little bit didn't want to vape very well. Thanks tho. I appreciate the advice.

hopefully your next order the vapor production will last the whole bottle. Was the taste altered at all towards the end or just the VP?

If you got good vapor on another juice, I wouldn't think the problem was the atomizer. Maybe your bottle of juice wasn't quite mixed and you got down to a weak portion at the end. I've had bottle of juice that tasted much more flavorful at the beginning, but the last half of the bottle got weak. All this while getting great taste from another juice. Go figure. You'd think that the postal carrier system would have rolled it around enough to mix well over several days of conveyor belts and transit vehicles.

You didn't say if you tried a different battery. If not that maybe the answer. Your battery maybe dying.

When I finally got frustrated enough to give up, I vaped a different juice (RY4 from fsusa) on the same batt and it was fine. It lasted me till mid afternoon when I was fighting with the Fire & Ice earlier that same morning...maybe at around 7am.

The flavor of F & I was just just fine. A nice, in your face flavor that I just love. It was the VP that kinda crapped out on me.

Sometimes it is my cart rather than my atty. If my cart stuffing gets too glommed up with juices (or the blue foam in my other cart does) then I have to fight for vapor. I might get a good fill that helps but it does downhill fast. Cleaning the cart and stuffing, patting dry and doing a fresh refill can really help.

My 901 whistle-tip cart was even worse. Apparently some juice residue had built up in the very slim air corridor and that was enough to make it a hard drag. it got harder and harder to drag and I was hardly getting any vapor. I ran it under running warm water (good stuffing in that cart - it let me wash it!) and I made sure water ran through the larger inner air hole and out through the whistle-tip. Blew out the water from the channel, touched dry pieces of paper towel to the stuffing to wick out the water, filled it and it was golden.
