Question about Alien Visions juices.

[McCordRM]

I ordered Boba's Bounty and Very Berry Blueberry.
Anyhow, they're thick like maple syrup. Are they supposed to be
like that?? My new Chuck hasn't come in yet so I'm still using my
V4L batteries and cartomizers. I can refill them with other liquids...
the but these from alien Visions don't seem to vape like this.

is it all vg? vg is thicker, and from what others have said it apparently doesn't work very well in cartomizers. you can try diluting it with pg, a little distilled water, or a little pga. search the forums for more specifics on this, as i don't really know the proper amounts.

best luck i've had with my VG heavy juices is when I drip it. i have trouble with it being so thick that it won't wick if i use it in carts or cartos

It works GREAT!

For cartos you really have to put in more than you'd think. I tend to do 6-10 drops at a time into one and let it sit for a minute or so. I'm billowing vapor with Havana Gold in a SS cartomizer as we speak.

I have never had problems when using the E2 cartos with all VG juices

the OP references v4l cartos, which are not E2. The E2's don't have filler and I think the problems that people have with VG in cartos is that it is too thick to effectively saturate the filler and to wick to the atomizer.

You might try putting just a few drops in at a time, and "flicking" it (like a thermometer) while holding the mouthpiece end. add a few more drops, flick some more. this helps get the liquid into the filler. i don't know if your liquid is too thick for even this to work, but i'd give it a shot.

also, how are you attempting to fill them? some people will tell you to drip through the battery end...but i've found i can get waaaay more juice in waaaaay more easily if i pop off the white cap, take out the silicone ring, and drop down the side into the filler.

Since my discovery of it (long time ago) I've always used the condom refill for KR808Dd-1 cartomizers. Even with VG it works for me. Very slow on the plunger action, give it time.

I have a friend, new to vaping, that yanked the top off of his kr808 and put in a drip tip. Kind of a cross between dripping and cartos, and he loves it. Every five or ten puffs, he puts in a few drops and keeps after it. That may work for your purposes.

Thanks for the feedback folks!

drip tips on cartos is great, as cartos work best and run the least risk of burning when kept wet. just make sure you're not using an unsealed (auto) batt, as the juice can drip right down the middle of the carto into the battery. no beuno.
