Newbie Question

[LifeMeansChange]

I'm brand spanking new to vaping and I'm a little confused about some of the cartomizer options. I bought 2 78mm Volt batteries from smokeless Image and they offer quite a few options for cartomizers. I also bought some blank volt cartridges and a nano claromizer to use with the Johnson's Creek and Virgin Vapor 100% VG ejuice. None of my stuff has arrived yet but I've come across some information saying the 100% VG won't work with my nano clearomizer or my carts but I've also come across some video reviews (one by SteelJan) that say that the volt blank carts are great even with 100% VG juice.

I guess I'm panicking because I think I may have bought the wrong stuff. Anyone know if this is the case? Are my carts going to work with the juice? Dunno what to think!

All VG juices aren't problematic with cartos. If it's runny enough, it should work fine. If it's on the thick side, you may need to dilute it a bit with a few drops of distilled water.

I use Johnson Creek Red Oak 100% vg juice in cartomizers. It works great. Some other vendor vg juices I have tried have been very thick. But the JC juice has always been just right.

Good to know. Thanks guys!

As Mudflap said, if you do run into issues with the all-Vg juices, dilute with a few drops of distilled water to thin the juice's consistancy. I do know that with the Virgin Vapors, Annette uses a thinner base of vg if you ask for it in future orders.

Most of my juice collection uses all vg or a higher vg to pg ratio. I don't have any problems in any of my carto tanks. I do find that I have to change the cartos out for new ones more often with those juices than with juices that utilize the more common 50/50 pg/vg ratios. I just accept that this is the way it goes for my favorite flavors. I particular like Virgin Vapors' Kona Velvet Milkshake, Dark Roast Turkish Coffee, and Root Beer Float.

I've also found that any darker colored e-liquids the carto tends to need to be exchanged sooner. The issue is the particulate matter that doesn't get vaped in the liquid will clog the polyfill in the cartomizers, making the draw progressively tighter. That's when you know you need to use a fresh carto.

The only juice I've had true issues with in any device is Alien Vision's Boba's Bounty. This is probably the thickest juice you could come across. Thank goodness it's not one of my favorite flavors.

I ordered the Kona Velvet Milkshake. Can't wait to try it out!! Thanks for your insight into the Virgin Vapors liquids. Very helpful!
