What Do You Guys Do When Juice Gets Thick?

Do you reuse it or throw it away?

Good question! I've been wondering the same thing. I haven't been using clearomizers for all that long, and I've been curious about that.

Personally, I think that I'm kind of over-the-top with my coil/tank cleaning, and I throw out the last 0.6-0.8 mL of a full tank about half the time. If it's a lighter liquid, I'll top it off a few times before I go for the bottom. The only juice I have that I'm comfortable going for a few tanks in a row is MBV's Berry Creamy. I like a lot of darker ones, and they don't fair that well being re-filled a few times. Especially Halo's Cafe Mocha. That's my favorite flavor, but it starts to look like motor oil faster than my others.

But I'll also say this: I've never had a problem topping off over and over. I just don't like the looks of it, and it seems like it's begging to cause a problem.

Yeah Cafe Mocha and Belgian Cocoa are very similar. Cocoa is my favorite and I top it off, but around day two the tanks needs a bath. Psychologically I can't reuse it because it reminds me of food that has been in the refrigerator too long. It does look pretty gross. LOL

I cleaned a "tiki tank" yesterday and the color was very dark from the contents of the original bottle. The bottle only had enough for about one refill, so I just threw the old juice in with it. But now in the new tank "the blend" taste bland.

Now I'm curious to see how those who know answer this.....

I thought I read somewhere that people use distilled water or vodka to thin out thick liquid.....

Considering it's been exposed to heat, I'm thinking chemistry/flavor will be affected/effected (?). I left my Triton in the car yesterday and it reminded of the times I would forget a banana in the car (very brown). That explains the Cocoa but not the Tiki.

You just made me clean a Triton tank for the first time. It's my most used tank... topped off at least once per day and power-vaped for a week. The juice looked like used motor oil with the viscosity of cold pancake syrup. It still tasted yummy and performed excellent though. It was down to .4 ml so I didn't feel bad rinsing it down the sink.

I vape 0 nic Tribeca, daily. For those familiar, Tribeca @0 is completely clear.

My wicks got so dirty, that the caramelized e-liquid would leech back into the tank, turning my e-juice a darker shade that Tribeca @12 (which I used to vape).

Tribeca flavors aren't terribly affected, but Southern Classic becomes seriously muted, and the vapor clouds aren't as big.

So keep your gear clean!

You can always dilute thick liquids with a drop of water; it really doesn't take a lot.

I keep a bottle of Halo's Fusion around; it is their flavorless base. If I have a tank that is still wicking like a champ, but the juice is thick, I add some Fusion and more e-juice, shake and vape.

I dumped the syrup, cleaned the tank, reloaded with fresh juice, and wow, what a difference. I'll be cleaning and starting fresh more often instead of topping off everyday before work, especially on the all day vape tank. Two other tanks are already soaking. Great thread!
