New vapor and frustrated!

[JW2010]

Ok I'm new to vaping and just started about 4 weeks ago. What I got is the TW tornado standard 510 atty blah blah right .. ok so I got this vapor from vapor renu and tried it out only to find that it has totally trashed my atty's .. first few hits from a few drops on the filler are good then it slowly gets harder and harder to draw and receive vaper I gave in and threw on my spare atty and it did great for a fews hits as well now it's bogging down as well and you have to draw really hard and long to get a good hit. I blew them out a few times with now luck.. the atty's vaped great with the TW liquid and never had this problem I get this stuff and my atty's go to hell.

What I have is 80/20 PG/VG 16mg caramel cappuccino flavored 30ml. Now I know this is dark liquid so maybe this stuff is to thick or dark for my 510's or something?

Can someone tell me anything at all about any way I can make this stuff thinner or easily vape-able.. I'm sooo freakin frustrated right now, I have to wait for some new atty's and TW liquid to come in and have got me a spare pack of analogs which taste yucky

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks everyone!

Oh and just to make things clear, vapor renu is great their customer service is awesome and the liquid tastes and vapes great.. apparently just not on my pv

Hey JW welcome to the forums! Have you tried cleaning your atty's? I know some people thin their juice out with everclear (only add a speck at a time) and you can also clean the filler in the cartridges. I have never had this problem but have heard the darker juices can do this. All is not lost.

I use Vapor Renu 80/20 and its not very thick at all.I cant understand why it would bother your attys.Try dripping a few drops directly on the atty and see if it helps.

Sorry to here that. There are posts here about cleaning attys...may work. I've never had one quit working (knock on wood) but I have cleaned them...sort of...to try different flavors. I blow out all the juice, rinse quickly with water, blow out the water and then dry burn for 2 seconds. I haven't broken one yet but it still makes me nervous. Others here have various cleaning methods that might work for you. Good luck!

Are you sure you didn't get 20pg/80vg? That would be thick!

You can thin with PG (you need to buy it online) or with a bit of distilled water or pure grain alcohol

80/20 juice is already very thin, so I doubt that the juice is too thick and gumming up your atties. Check the filler in the cart and make sure it isn't overstuffed. When I used carts I would take the filler out and cut it in half.

Ok update - I pulled out what I though was a dead attys, and took some of the advise to dry burn a bit and I added a few drops directly to the atty.. and I removed a small bit of the liquid to a different bottle and added some distilled liquid (which has electrolytes in it, is that a bad thing?) anyway.. I out some of the thinned down liquid in the cart and put it back and was amazed that it vaped like a monster! incredibly shocked as it's kicking ... now!

So yes you are right vapor renu is really good, and so far the customer service has been awesome at replying.. it seems like you are right also about the cart and the foam insert, seems to be transferring oddly? not sure.. I will try cutting the insert in half and see if I get better results .. thanks guys!

will try not to get soo frustrated over this again

added some distilled liquid (which has electrolytes in it, is that a bad thing?) anyway..

Electrolytes is marketing-speak for salts. They could leave salt residue behind in your atty. Better to use plain distilled water. I use tap water myself and have had no ill effects, but I am fortunate to live in a part of the country with very good, soft tap water. If I lived elsewhere, I'd go distilled.

Auh, Thanks will not use that water anymore then, what about purified water? I don't even think that it's too thick anymore, I think it's a problem with the wadding or something.. as when I directly drip onto the atty is vapes much better

and.. yep I am thinking you are right.. this wadding doesn't seem transfer well with this, idk

Re cart foam (I assume you are talking about blue foam) - you can alternately taper on the inner end.

On a full fill, remove the foam, fill cart 1/2 way. insert foam, push foam into the liquid to wet it, reposition top of foam at top of juice cup, top off with 1-3 drops (whatever it need to just look damp on top)

cart filler is often a problem...you will see and hear a lot of complaints about it here.
You have re-discovered dripping: the most reliable way to a clean solid vape.
the darkness of the liquid could be a factor if it actually clogged your atty--a sugary dark fluid could gunk things up--including the atty. (or i suppose the filler but haven't heard that one before.)

Yah I've sorta done this but not exactly that way, I usually don't push it all the way down to soak it up but I will try this

and yah the fillers do seem to be a bugger
I just liked the fill the cart and go deal.. I just don't know, these TW atty's just don't seem to like this liquid much.. sometimes it vapes great and sometimes you got to dry burn it alittle and redrop .. idk, errrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[kelleymcm]

Have you rinsed your filler out & then dryed on a paper towel ?
just roll it back and forth in Pt, till it seems dry & reload .........

filler gets gummy too....

And GOOD LUCK with this part ...& we have all BEEN THERE !

will try not to get soo frustrated over this again

Ok, I switched atty's and added some vodka to a batch and it seems to be vaping great now O_O

Kelley: lol yes i'm sure it won't be the last time I do. i will definitely clean off my waddings maybe just go to walmart and get some fresh ones

Although it still takes longer of a draw then I have been used to, to get any vapor production :\

You need to do that with just about any PV.

 

[shopnonamee]

I find that VG tends to thicken when not hot enough try a longer run on the draw also hot water is great ror cleaning out atts blow through it a few times arter washing. Good Luck

 

[JW2010]

Oh hell I give up, this stuff is not vaping good at all in both atty's which have vaped fine with TW liquid. I've never had to draw on these attys longer then 5 seconds to get amazing vapor - I'm having to draw almost 10 seconds or more and it feels like I am trying to suck a melon through the end of a straw.. I have tried everything from thinning to cleaning, and blowing.. this liquid is out for these atty's - great liquid, great taste and good vapor .. but only for the first few times
