I did a search on this and came up with nothing. I live in Southern California and it has been very hot here the last few days. I have noticed that i get really low vapor production duri g the day when its hot but as soin as the sun sets and it coils down my vapor is back to normal. What could be causi g this and has anyone else experienced this?
low vapor production from hot weather?

if your juice gets really hot, it will thin.. maybe too thin.
I also live in SoCal, I dont have this problem, but I am in AC most of the time.

i could give a better answer if i knew the pg/vg ratio and what type of tank you are using.
but in general for a capillary effect to work (what the wick does) there has to be a certain amount of surface tension, and if your ejuice gets too viscous (thin) it wont work nearly as well.

I think you mean the reverse for viscosity. More viscous means it's a 'thicker' fluid, or more resistant to deformation with a weaker ability to flow.
Just giving ya crap.He's right for capillarity and surface tension though. If your liquid gets too thin, it may impede the wicks ability to wick the liquid properly. However, I don't believe thats fully what is going on here considering when chain vaping, liquid will get much hotter than it will from being outside.
It has a lot to do with gas behavior over a variety of temperatures. I guarantee you that if you went somewhere cold, you would think you're getting more vapor than normal. In hot environments, gas molecules have a lot more (kinetic) energy and when released into an open system, will distribute across that system uniformly *much* faster than they will when the environment is cooler. Also, lets look at a simple gas law, Boyle's Law: V1/T1=V2/T2. As the temperature decreases, so does the volume. The less the volume a gas occupies, the thicker it will appear (if even visible). High school chemistry coming back now? lol
Maybe, instead of googling it in the context of vapor from PV's, google in the context of gases in general. I could tell you the rest of chemistry behind it, but google will tell you much faster.
Just my thoughts and opinions on the matter. It may, or may not be right.
Vape Happy
