PG or VG base for liquids

[Shaka Zuluf]

Hello,
I have one problem that troubles me for some time. I am hoping for someone with experience in that area to help me solve it.
I am using eGo-T for 6 months, no problems at all, everything works as it should. From the start I used only PG liquids from FA, Italy. Lots of vapour, good throat hit, works fine.
I ordered some ready e-liquids from Inawera. They say that base for those liquids is 80% PG and 20% VG. After 15 minutes of vaping there is no vapour and ati gets very hot. I opened it and checked - wick is almost totally dry. I tried with 3 different atomizers, both type A and B, and it's the same.

But this morning I received ready e-liquid from FA, tradicional base(50%PG + 40%VG + 10% water) and tried it: it works perfect!? Good vapour, no heating of ati... How's that possible? What can be causing problems with liquid flow in eGo-T aty?

Thank's in advance.

If you used the same atty with all juices then i think the one that is not wicking must be labeled wrong. if a 60/40 mix works with your atty then a 80/20 mix should work as well. the juice that does not wick is probably all vg. you can thin it with distilled water or a little vodka just start with a little and add as you go

The one that is not wicking is obviously too thick . You could try and thin it out with some distilled water . Vg is thick like syrup and needs to be dripped or mixed with PG or PG and water . I have never used vodka but you could try a little of that too but not too much .

I wrote in my post: tried with 3 different atties, all have the same problem.
I just sent email to Inawera to check if maybe their ready e-liquid is of different composition than they said it is. There is no logical explanation, or I can't see it. Did anyone tried VG base liquids on eGo-T atties?

P.S.
Something is not right: it's obvious that my Inawera liquids are much thicker than FA liquids. Inawera has 20% of VG, FA has 40% of VG. Someone is not completely honest
I am adding some PG to thin those liquids, but then I loose some flavour. It's not long terms solution.

you can also order some flavor liguid to add. https://www.lorannoils.com/c-6-super-strength-flavors.aspx or many other suppliers. just add a few drops and you get your flavor back. and also i would stick with companys you know sell good juice or are on the forum supplier list

Colt45, it's hard for you to understand: I am from Serbia, we don't have PayPal, 80% of sites do not ship to Serbia. I do not choose by quality, I choose by availability

I read some good reviews about Inawera, that's why I ordered from them. Their liquids taste very, very good on atomizers like 801. But, with eGo-T atty I have a problem, and I think that solution is just to find proper composition of base.

Inawera liquid has 80%PG - 20%VG base. FA has 50%PG - 40%VG - 10% water. Is it possible that 10% of water makes such a big difference?

 

[colt45]

no 10% water is not that much difference pg and vg are both much thicker than water. thin your inawera liguid with water. DISTILLED water ONLY and only a little at a time until you get the right thickness. also FA italy sells pure flavor if you can get liquid from them you should be able to buy flavor extract to get back flavor in your thinned down juice. i make my own juice and FA italy flavoring is some of the best.

Also try to stay away from the dark liquids as they tend to clog the tanks. Is the Inawera liquid very dark like almost black?

 

[Shaka Zuluf]

No, they are not. Some of them are almost clear, some have bit of colour, but none of them is very dark.

I have already decided to mix and make my own e-juices, so I just want to know what is in those bases(or in ratio of PG/VG/Water) that affects on liquid flow. It's a pitty that I am not able to taste properly those Inawera liquids, because some of them taste amazingly good.
