Need Homemade Vape Juice Help

[foxfiresue]

I’ve been making my own vape juice for almost 10 years, same recipe, without issue. But something odd happened with the last batch I made about a week ago. When I put it in the tank and inhaled, there was little to no throat hit and almost no smoke. At first I thought it might be that the coil needed to be replaced but before doing that, I dumped the new juice out of the tank and put in the small amount of juice that I had left from my prior batch. It was fine.
Something is not right with the new batch (although I’m quite sure I mixed the ingredients in the right amounts), but I have no idea what would cause that. My recipe uses a 50/50 pg/vg ratio (pg in the nicotine is included in that calculation).

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this happened? Appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Sue

what comes to my mind first is water.you will have to troubleshoot.mix small batches with new ingredents and old.good luck and someone else should have something smarter to suggest soon.

First guess would be the coil and wick just weren't saturated enough, as in not primed. By the time you dumped it and replaced with the "old" mix, it got soaked.

Second guess would be a mixing error, maybe make a new small batch and see?

Hi Sue, and welcome to the ECF

Have you recently replaced any ingredients?

Did you use PG based nic salts in the new batch versus freebase? Nic salts have little to no throat hit.

You mentioned changing your coil, trying the old batch and it was fine. Have you since tried the new batch with the new coil? If not, try that, it might vape fine.

As David suggested, the simplest solution would be to mix a small amount (5ml or 10ml), test that, then see where you stand. If it vapes as you normally expect, then you know a mistake was made with the latest batch.

Good luck!

Mix a new, small batch and see what happens.

Maybe a sinus flare-up? Without the recipe we can't offer much help.

Sounds like the base change. The whole advantage of VG is it produces massive amounts of pseudo smoke. It’s what they use in fog machines for bands

No. At lest not from a generic headshot of an ubknown male.

that headshot, is the "Tracker" he can see clues others don't. here is a fictitous clue for this thread.

do you see what happened to the mix?

 

[smacuser]

It appears the OP is no longer with us . Maybe something happened while she wasn’t looking.

 

[ShowMeTwice]

maybe it's just taking time to mix.......

and maybe...........

we might never know..............

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

It's only been 2.5 days.

This old thread makes me wonder if someone in OP's home played a practical joke and added a massive amount of water to OP's PG bottle . Funny, but not funny.

Or maybe they used new PG bought from an unscrupulous source that cut it with a lot of water. Never know.

Ah. Never saw that show. It’s a fairly standard trope though. There was another which was a buddy comedy too where the “tracker” suffered from hyper vigilance. Ace Ventura pet detective was a movie on that line too.

UPDATE: remembered the name of that show “Psych” or some such

Vitamin E or fentanyl?

Surprising that "f" word wasn't auto-censored.

Too new. They probably don’t got Tranq or Crocodile either. Not sure they’re very different. They both seem to destroy people even faster than previous stuff.

 

[smacuser]

I'm guessing cannabis is a word, too.
