Switch to VG

[siren.6]

I think I want to switch to 100 vg. Will I need to upgrade my entire set-up or just the tank? I currently use a spinner pen style battery with an Aspire CE5 tank.

If the entire set-up needs upgraded, any suggestions for something small? I have looked at the isticks and really would not want anything larger in size than the 30w (size meaning how it fits in my hand not power)

Thanks for your help!

I think it will all depend on which vendor's juice you use. If you mix your own, add a % of distilled water until it will wick to your satisfaction. For vendor made juice, different vendors use different % distilled water to make "aqueous" VG that is thin enough to wick. You might have to try a couple different vendors to find one that works for you.

If you're happy with the Aspire and a spinner, no reason not to stick with that.

Hi,
As above...Hat tip Mad Scientist,

If needed:
Add a drop or two of distilled water to 10ml retail juice to thin the VG a bit. It should work just fine.
I don't add more than 15 drops (about .5ml or 5%) to a 10ml bottle unless the flavour or nicotine level is too strong.

Have fun
I

Perfect! Thanks for the tip!

Some tanks can't handle PG-free juices even with some water in them. Aspire has stated that the Nautilus and the Atlantis need some PG. Innokin iSubtank needs some in the juice and I think Joyetech tanks need it. I've used Kanger tanks with PG-free flavors and it's worked out for me. I do think coil life suffers a bit, but it's no big deal.

 

[Mad Scientist]

To avoid confusion, distilled water is roughly 50 times less viscous than PG. Acqeous VG will work just fine with no PG.

I don't even know what a CE5 is anymore. I'd put money on it not liking 100% VG though. Going to need to dilute that a bit.
...then again,
If you mean Aspire BVC (baby/plastic) clearo, then you might actually get away with it. They were nasty leakers for 80% PG, so pure VG might do the trick.

What are you switching to 100 VG from? Are you jumping right from a 50/50?

I mix my own unflavored at 90vg/10dw. As stated above, if you buy supposed 100vg you can add dw a little at a time until you find the right amount.

Try to find a cheap RTA and learn how to build. It's what I did and my Subtank Mini never fails me but to each their own I guess.

According to the Aspire website, my tank is a BDC (whatever that means). I am jumping from a 65vg/35pg to the 100vg. I am definitely not opposed to diluting it with distilled water.

I also checked out the iSticks and sub ohm tanks while I was there. I may end up upgrading but I am still debating. Still somewhat of a newbie if you can't tell. I am going to have to look up what RTA means...lol.

Thanks again for all the replies!

No problem learning is great!

A BDC device is one that functions with Bottom Dual Coil technology, they also make Bottom Vertical Coils now which are believed
to be an improvement to the BDC amongst the community, look it up

RTA is Rebuildable Tank Atomizer, means it can function with pre-built coils or you could also build your own coils (it's what vapes up the juice), it's really easy and
cost effective.

Yes, going with the RTA is one big buy because you end up paying 30-50 for a tank and 30-50 for a Battery but it's worth it IMO because you get
many options in terms of vaping with that kind of device + long battery life.

The Subox Mini Kit (RTA Tank + Battery) is what I rock now and it is a wonderful unit that you can find at around 80-90$ or less, depending on where you live
...and it can vape Max VG very good, without a doubt + there is alot on info for it around here.

Thanks for the info! Now that you mention it, I am actually using BVC coils in my tank The last time I purchased coils, I noticed they looked different so I did a little research on the coils to find out that they are BVC. The BVC coils do work better.

I did see the Subox Mini at the vape shop but I think it had a much higher price tag on it here locally.

So far my little tank is withstanding the vg without diluting it. I guess if it starts burning through coils too quickly, then I will start to dilute it.

Yes... BVC should be noticeably better.. and longer lasting...

When it comes to pricing, you have to weigh up a good few things. I don't object to paying more at a local shop and often do so. Sadly, some shops get it wrong trying to make *too much* profit from certain mods. Two years ago, a shop was selling MVP version 2s for $100.
I paid about $45 for mine. That sort of difference is not really acceptable.

.....and let's not forget, the self-proclaimed #1 rated vaping store in America is happy to overcharge and then boast to their potential re-sellers about 400% profit margins.

These are the bad guys in the movie, not the local shops which should be supported unless it's just crazy money.

Should note that technically a RTA doesn't use pre-built coils. Most of the new sub ohm tanks can use pre-built coils and have an RBA head available as well. But 'old school' RTA's like the Kayfun, Lemo etc don't have a factory coil option.

True that.. Sorry about the misleading here.

Subox nano should run high vg decently, like others have said thin it out with distilled water if your getting dry hits.
