Hey everyone i have a quick question. I went to my local shop to try a snapple peach tea juice. I showed them my set up and i taste tested it on their sub ohm setup. I told them i liked it but the clerk said i would not be able to vape it in my iclear 16 or smoketech or drip it because its vg 90/10 and was made for sub ohming. I have vg 70/30 and never had a problem vaping it. So is this true that you can only vape 90 or 100 vg in sub ohm tanks ?

Not true at all. You can drip anything. Clearos sometimes have a hard time with thicker juice, but not all vg is super thick. Even if it were too thick to wick well, a few drops of distilled water can work wonders. Unfortunately, clerks in vape shops don't always know as much as they think they do.

Malarkey. I hate when I hear that people who work in vape shops spread misinformation and know not what they're talking about. You need an atomizer that can efficiently wick high VG juice. The resistance of the coil has absolutely nothing to do with it. A high VG juice will work in any RDA. Even my GP Spheroids and Heron can keep up.

I use 75 vg 25 pg in my Nautilus with a 1.6 rebuilt coil and have no issues. I needed a new coil while at work and bought one without thinking about the ratio of my juice. It worked fine and I didn't even notice until later that night when I told my wife. Some vapers advise against it because thicker juice can cause dry hits. This really only happens if you chain vape. Just remember that you're vaping a juice that takes longer to reach the coil.

It took me a few days to figure out why i was getting dry hits on a new juice i had ordered. I realized i was chain vaping and not giving enough time for the juice to get wicked up. At the time i had also figured out how to change my wattage so i had it up too high for that juice as well. I was so parodied to take a puff for about two days not knowing if it was going to be aweful or not. Lesson learned....give it time to wick and leave my wattage alone lol.

Sometimes the simple explanation of things works best. Some older vapers are a bit too tech savvy and unintentionally over complicate answers. More vapor means more nicotine is delivered. When we use tanks, they produce less vapor which is why we need a higher level of nic to compensate. I believe that what we're all in need of is a good vehicle for the juice to travel to the coil. On the flip side of this, too much too fast and you have flooded tanks. Unless you chain smoked, use your device as if you were casually smoking. This is how it was intended to be used. Happy vaping.

He told me it was made to sub ohm on a mod and 90 for vg and it was too thick for my set up. I have an itaste drip set up . I thought about it and decided to ask you guys because it didn't make sense to me either. I think maybe he was trying to motivate me to upgrade or something. He acted like i had crap for gear. I don't have the greatest tanks but they do handle 70/30 just fine.
