Vapor production comparison question

[w1cked]

So I did this test that someone told me to do in another thread and want to know why?

So the test was to blow through the ash tip on my ecig to see how much vapor come out the mouth end.

I did this with my green smoke with a flavor Max carto first. The green smoke produced clouds of vapor which is awesome.

Next I did same thing with my volt and the results were drastically different. The volt produced very minimal vapor.

So my question is why does the gs produce so much vapor compared to the volt when this test us performed?

I could be wrong, but it sounds like the test is blowing on the bottom of the PV to see how well you can make it turn on and push vapor out the mouth end of the carto.

A lot of vapor would tell you there is not much sealing at all, that there is a free air path all the way from the carto through to the ash tip.

A free path would relate to the likelihood of getting eliquid into the battery section, which could cause damage to the internal electronics, or shorting the switch, or...

Little vapor wouldn't be all that positive an indication of great sealing IMO, other than at the ash tip/PV body joint. A little super glue on the ash tip would provide a solid seal there, no air getting back through the battery compartment to the carto, yet it doesn't actually mean there isn't a path between the carto and the battery/electronics.

End of the day, if you have an auto battery, not a sealed battery connector, me careful in how your use of eliquuid. Clear any excess eliquid by blowing through the carto and wiping the carto battery connector prior to putting it on. Even with a sealed unit this is good practice, it's a pita cleaning the PV-side connector, errant eliquid can gum up the air intake holes on the connector.

I'm just trying to figure out why the volt don't produce as much vapor as gs when I blow through the ash tip....what could the difference be?

Sealing, as I noted. Ideal world, the battery compartment above the ash tip would be sealed relative to the carto, so there's no path for eliquid to leak into it.

If you can blow through the ash tip and see a lot of vapor coming out the carto end that means there is a path for eliquid to possibly leak in.

In auto batteries there is normally going to be a path, at least some, due to the vacuum switch element.

Less vapor appearing would indicate a better sealing job, though as I first stated it doesn't tell you where the sealing is done.

Do you have the sealed autos from Volt? If so that is probably the difference, the air in take holes are two small ones on the sides of the battery post rather then the on the top. When I blow in both the sealed and the unsealed I do get more vapor from the unsealed. If you want an unsealed I think SI still has some left (discounted), or try the Bloog or Halo G6. They are both the same unit but are unsealed.

PS: I don't get less vapor using the sealed, I just have to draw a little harder on it then the unsealed.
