Side Effect of Cold : Viscosity & maybe other tips

[tater_salad]

I learned something new I'd like to share especially in teh northern US where it's starting to get cold.

Background:
I usually keep my PV in the center console when Driving.. when I'm driving my kid to school I don't vape and it stays in the case. (Don't want him to get any ideas about daddies smoke machine)..
I also don't like the heat blasting especially with jackets / coats on..

So.. I picked up my nova full of some 50/50 dragons blood and I could barely get it to move around to the wicks.. the stuff had gotten significantly more viscus and I got 1 pull before I was in dry-hit-ville. Normally the 50/50 stuff isn't a big problem.. I just have to tilt n twirl a bit more.
TLDR; Colder juice and 50/50 aren't good for novas.. they wont' wick it well, keep that juice warm

Anyone else have cold weather tips?

Avoid metal drip tips if you're going to be outside for a prolonged period - or at least keep the tip warm until you need to use it.

Keep your PV with the tank on a lanyard under your coat? Inside jacket pocket? Yeah...VG thickens up like no other. Even 50/50 is going to be like molasses! My juice is only 15% VG to 85% PG...so I don't have a lot of trouble (not that it's gotten really COLD here in N FL, but it's gotten pretty chilly!) My husband's juice has more VG in it. Mine looks pretty normal in the tank after it's sat overnight in the chill...but his looks like maple syrup! Imagine if it was REALLY cold here! He could spoon it up and eat it like ice cream! lol!!!

I've just received a bunch of novas and use s 70/30 PG/VG blend. I commute and have had great luck using it in -15C to -20C already no issue. which is really nice because winter vaping was one of the reasons why I avoided clearos for so long.

I was snowboarding in the mountains over the weekend and found that my vg was thickening up, just held my hand over the T2 tank for about 45 seconds and she start to work no problem.


erictho, when I read the -20 I had to look at where you were from.....Ed doesn't surprise me.

I know it's a cruel place to be, if I may be slightly dramatic. the winters are way too long, and if i had the chance i would peace out in favor of somewhere warmer in a heartbeat. I would try to warm my ce2s with my hand last year but it was a no go. these new gen clears have come a far way.
