Hi. I use an EGO with a mega Atty. I've noticed that I have to work harder to get good vapor when I'm outside in the cold. Has anyone else experienced this?
Vaping in cold weather

Especially if your ejuice is mostly VG. Switch to a higher mix with PG. The VG is thick and when cold, it becomes thicker and harder to wick.
even if its not all VG it can be difficult, try keeping your PV in a pocket to keep it at a decent temp and most your problems should go away, good luck!-)
Hi, I use VG only and get the same problem, either switch to a small atty and cart for going out or try pressing the button for a second or two before taking a draw, I find this helps.
Must be the VG. Yesterday morning, I got in the car for an errand and immediately picked up the 510 PT I'd left sitting on the passenger seat for more than 12 very cold hours. I was wondering how it would do, but it hit fine first time with a carto filled with all-PG juice. I kind of like cold weather vaping. Normally I notice nearly zero visible vapor on my exhales (which I'm quite OK with), but I enjoy the novelty of seeing myself exhale a big cloud into the cold air.
i tend to stay inside when its cold to vape...
When I have to be outside I keep it in a pocket and that seems to help.

Also, I think any kind of battery will not perform well in cold weather. That's why many cars won't start after a -10F night... like the one we are about to have here!
I'm new to this and I'm happy to see that I wasn't the only person with this question. Great advice!!
It was 7 degrees waiting for the bus this morning. I had my Copper Mod in my hand, trying to warm it up. Man was that Copper cold. Felt like I was holding on to an icicle.
Usually I carry the eGo and warm it up in my hand while my hands are in my pocket.

Wow, that's funny, I just wanted to start the exact same topic. I mostly vape all-PG liquids, and I noticed that vapor, taste and TH go down the drain when I for instance walk to the supermarket at not-yet-freezing temperatures, too short a distance to cool the apparatus significantly down (could be 510, 808, Riva or Leo). At the risk of being silly, I believe the wind has something to do with it as well.
As someone else commented, use some vodka or you can use a few drops of water also to thin the liquid in cold weather & help the wicking onto the atty. Experimenting will help you find the right balance.
As an expert on cold weather because of my location, let me just say...... j/k
Actually I do have a trip planned to a much colder area and was wondering if TH is affected? I saw VG (what I use) is harder to wick in the cold. Makes sense but I would have never thought of it........interesting
Also wondering if a 5v PV would do better because of the added power/heat.....

Use a full charged battery keep it in your pocket when not in use and use a thin juice mix "more pg" blast the attomiser for a while to get it up to temp and thats all you can do. If still no good try a lower resistance atomiser as this will run hotter and give more vapour. I use a mod or high voltage e cig and you do not get this issue at all.
Glad you asked this question. Something I didn't think about-but great to know.
Hey throatkick -
I have a 5v Saber Touch 510 connection and a Glv 901 connection. What I've noticed is that the colder it is, the shorter the batt life.
At -25 degrees, and not keeping the batts and Saber warm, I got maybe 40mins of vape time if that.
Oh, yeah, don't use a metal drip tip when it's that cold.
