Vaping in 112 degree heat.

[JohnnyVsGirl]

How do I adjust my evic or any device for that matter to survive going from a nice 75 degree indoor ambient temperature to the streets of Las Vegas at 112 degree? Or should I say my patio in front of the pool.

My 80/20 3 mg juice goes from nice and smooth to holy crap it's spitting at me in 3-5 minutes of the change. I've tried just turning off my battery and giving it a rest but the only time I have problems is when I'm outside and the temp is above 100 degree out, which is most of August. I don't rest my evic on the stone table outside. I keep it in the shade and give it a beach chair.

It's not your Evic that is the problem, its the juice delivery device (tank).

Juice delivery devices (tanks) usually depend upon negative pressure, or vacuum, to work. Drastic changes in barometric pressure (elevation) or temperature upsets the vacuum pressure inside the tank and can cause them to go haywire and leak e-liquid. Probably has something to do with the expansion/contraction of air/liquid molecules when heated/cooled.

Not much you can do about this that I am aware of. Try removing the tank off of the Evic, turn the tank upside down, and blow into the mouthpiece into a paper towel to remove excess juice from the air chamber of the tank. You may have to do this again periodically as the pressure in the tank continues to change when in this "different environment".

Which tank are you using?

What tank is it?? I was living in Coachella up until a couple months ago and started vaping at the beginning of our lovely 100+ degree summers last year. I had this problem with an Evod tank a couple times but never with any of my Kayfuns.

The ego Mega tank that came with it.

Slower, longer draws may help after blowing out the excess. Also higher power. You are wicking faster than it can 'vaporize...'

 

[edyle]

turn the tank upside down when not in use; that will help keep the pressure equalizers.

once it's had 5 to 15 minutes outside, that's probably enough time for it to have adjusted to ambient temperature from 75 to 112

Due to poor lifestyle choices I have to spend eternity in the 112 degree heat but I still have afew years here yet.

That said large temp changes and tanks are not a good mix. At work my mod/tank are at 30 degree all day and lately when I walk outside at 3pm its 80-90 out and the change causes leaking. Not like drip-drip leak but full tank dumps. Pressure change or some crap.

It only goes over 80 here a couple times a year so I just live with it. In your case I'd prolly use a dripper with my bottle in a cooler next to me.

I found that going from winter to summer in new York, I have to up my VG content. it seems to thicken the juice and keep it more resistant to leaking. I find if I add a little more PG in the winter I get far fewer dry hits.

If you are using regular store bought juice you can just add any USP VG that can be found at most drug stores. Try adding 20% VG and go up or down from there. it won't stop the issue, but it may tame it down some.

Take your tank off open it up as if you were going to fill it to equalize the pressure and then the reattach everything. That has worked for me in the past.

 

[Stinkytofus]

if its 112 degrees out... last thing i want to do is vape....

my vape is much better when the room temperature is nice and cool with a/c on, cloudy =)

These are the Answers to your Question and should help.
Keeping it in a small cooler when not in use would be a big plus - Keeping the e-liquid cooler.

 

[JohnnyVsGirl]

I already keep my wine, water and snacks on ice. I'll just keep a small waterless area for my evic in there.

 

[WindyCityJoe]

I vape outside everyday in the heat, past weekend was 117 and no problem with my Kayfun.

A top wicking clearo should behave a bit better if kept upright.

 

[PaulBHC]

I'm down river from you where it is hotter. I gave up on vacuum tanks and went to genesis tanks wicked with rayon. Yes I have to keep them close to upright all the time but no leaks out the bottom.

 

[sparkky1]

Just wrap it in a beach towel .........

 

[Bunnykiller]

ummm stay in the AC ? 110F ?? thats too hot even for the anode replacement guys in an aluminum plant

 

[sparkky1]

Crappy wicking will do that, just an idea ......Top Felling design Freemax Starre Pro Tank - Atomizers & Tanks | Professional Ecigarette Wholesale

I used to work in a plant where it got to 130+ back the corner back around the aluminum injection machines were at this time of year.
Felt pretty good back there in February though.
