Hi everyone! I would like to ask for help regarding the following problem. I mixed the **TJ Dragon Energy** flavoring at a 10% concentration in a 30VG / 70PG base. However, I experience a strong dry hit when using the finished liquid. I’ve been vaping Heisenberg for years, and I thought I’d switch. I used a 50VG-50PG ratio before. The device is a Voopoo DM2, operating with a mesh atomizer. I usually use it at 32W (theoretically, it should be between 40-60, but this gives me the best vaping sensation). So, even the high wattage of the atomizer shouldn’t be a problem. What could be the reason for the dry hit occurring with one flavoring but not the other? Is it possible that the 10% mixing ratio is too high for this flavoring, or could the 30VG / 70PG composition of the base be the cause of the problem? Thank you in advance for your help. ---

Hi, after reading up a bit on this atomizer/[coil](https://vaperina.cc/t/-/187?silent=true#coil-16) head, it should indeed handle higher wattage and the 70 VG/30 PG ratio mixture, although I would have immediately guessed that’s what’s causing it… Perhaps chain vaping, improper priming of the atomizer/[coil](https://vaperina.cc/t/-/187?silent=true#coil-16) head when you first use it, or if the liquid level in the tank is very low can also cause a dry hit… but you’ve surely thought about these already. Maybe try again with 50/50… I don’t think a different flavor would cause this, especially since flavors are mostly PG-based… ---

> [@Angel31](#): > > kkolás, not suitable Hi! Okay, thank you very much, I’ll try it! Our friend [Gilbert](https://vaperina.cc/t/48188?silent=true) also thinks that with Mesh, this is too thin and contradictorily, the too thin liquid can cause a dry hit. ---

Oops, I messed this up. 😊 Sorry. Because I read the 30 VG/70 PG ratio mixture as 30 PG/70 VG. Then that must be the problem, because this atomizer actually needs a higher VG ratio. 🙂 ---

Hi! I had that too, but I concluded that the cotton in the atomizer isn’t transferring the liquid fast enough at 50/50. Maybe you could try to carefully poke the cotton from the outside with a needle because that’s the culprit. For this Mesh sheet, they should have used different cotton, for example, one that is porous; this transfers to the inner cotton, which, however, is no longer porous because it stores. ![](https://assets.vaperina.cc/original/3X/1/7/17eb80dc4c882b1d742abf54f2418bc9052080db.jpeg) **Carefully poke it** ![](https://assets.vaperina.cc/original/3X/e/c/ecd309628712223be480cbe5e5437025496d8fe0.jpeg) **This type of Mesh [Coil](https://vaperina.cc/t/-/187?silent=true#coil-16) needs a lot of liquid to be transferred by the cotton.** ![](https://assets.vaperina.cc/original/3X/0/e/0e3f4d26ce6ae6be39891904c138baa52c6e9811.png) ---

Okay, thank you very much! 🙂 Now I mixed a 50-50 and I’ll see, if it’s still problematic, then I’ll continue with the tinkering 😃 ---

You’re very welcome! 🙂 Be careful poking it, so you don’t pierce through the whole thing and the mesh sheet deforms. ---

FYI Update for the next generation: Yes, the liquid composition could have been the culprit, although I also reduced the amount of concentrate, so it’s a 50/50 chance… 😃 To 100ml of 50VG-50PG I added 5ml of concentrate. For now, everything is great 🙂
