I've been noticing something odd about types of juices lately and im really wondering if its the juice....

(I live in vegas) Idk how to put this into words but Everytime I buy a juice made in vegas my RDA kills it faster and I rebuild the same coil with the same ohms all the time
While when I buy a brand name/High quality juice it lasts longer and it goes something like this

Vegas juice:
Flavor vapors juice 12ml lasted for 2 days
Pink spot juice 10 ml lasted 3 days

Unknown:
Evolution exilixir juice 2 15 ml's lasted one week and 3 days.

Non vegas juice:
Bamskilicous 10 ml lasted 4 days
Cuttwood juice 15 lasted 5 days


I'm a chain vapor so I was wondering if there was something in the juice that makes it run out faster
Also, I found out that some juices claim to have 6 mg in their juice but I don't feel any throat hit at all.
While most juices have that kick of nicotine I want. Which I find really annoying.

are you saying that you seem to go through some e-liquid quicker that others?

if so, do they seem to be more viscous?
Pretty much lol Sorry im tired right now but had to get an answer for this

Edit: I compare juices. The Vegas ones tend are more watery and the Brand name ones were more thick

so, some vendors will use distilled water in the e-liquid. nothing really harmful about it.

Pure USP grade VG is pretty thick and does not wick very well. VG is responsible for most of the visible vapor cloud you exhale.
so you have a few options to get the e-liquid down to a point where it wick well.
one option is adding some PG. but PG is expensive compared with Distilled water. distilled water is also thinner than PG.
nothing wrong with using a bit of distilled water but i could see how a vendor would use a lot of it to maximize profit.

the water will turn into vapor at a much lower temperature than PG or VG.
so when your vaping an e-liquid with a high water content, the e-liquid moves through the wick faster and is vaporized faster and thus you use the e-liquid faster.

i DIY my own e-liquid and have done so for years.
for my RDA per 15 mL batch i use 2 drops of distilled water and the rest is VG.
you don't need a lot of distilled water in the e liquid to make it wick fast enough to prevent dry hits.. in an RDA.
for something like a bottom coil clearomizer i use 1.25 mL of distilled water per 15 mL batch.
