Mix ratios and RTA's

[Bill M.]

Hello to all, I have been vaping for 26 months now and for the last 5 months I have been using rta's only. I have been using 80vg/20pg but due to a job related lung disease I now find that the 80vg is too much so I was thinking of going to 60vg/40pg but I am wondering if that would be to thin and leak like crazy. I'm now using 2 Vandyvape rta's, a Triple 28 which I'm going to retire and a Kylin dual coil. I also am waiting on 2 dual coil Digiflavor Themis RTA's and an Ijoy Captain Elite single coil. Both Vandy's are top fill, bottom air flow as is the Ijoy. The 2 Digi's are top fill and air flow. Any help will be appreciated, and thanks to all.

My lungs were feeling heavy and I started to add dw (distilled water) to my mixes after reading about it. Maybe try the 60vg/40vg with 5% dw. You may have to adjust your wicking some but you should be okay with an rta. You will go thru juice quickly. What is the size of your usual coils?

The coils I use now are 3mm ID, .15 to .3 ohm

Sorry, I use 26 gauge wire

That should be enough wick then. Hope the thinner juice helps.

I think you'd be fine with a thinner juice in most if not all of those setups. As Letitia said, your wicking will be key to avoid leaks, but I think it would be doable.

Thanks Letitia, I just tried 10% dw in my 2ml Kylin. It took some of the heaviness out but it is still a bit much for me so I think I will try your suggestion with the 60/40

Thanks Anan, I do real good with wicking, I just have to get the mix right to take the congestion away

If the 60/40/5 proves too thin try 65/35/7.

Try none! I have 40+ tanks and use zero vg in any of them and none leak. Vg for me just mutes taste and makes clouds.

I wouldn't even be willing to try all pg. I'm sure it would shred my throat, I can't even handle freebase anymore and mix with salts.

I was having a problem with high VG so what I did is dial back the VG by 5% and try vaping it for about a week. When it was still giving me congestion I kept dialing it back by 5% until I hit my sweet spot. For me, that sweet spot turned out to be 65% VG/ 35% PG. I use this ratio is all my RTA's and have no problems at all.

VG congest me personally and vape no more than 8% vg in diy . Example i use an Innokin Rta Ares 2.5 diameter 1ohm kanthal coil stuffed with cotton and no leaks .
Hope this helps as mentioned vg i learned many years back congest me and would give lots of phlegm.
