Dry Hit even on low wattage

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 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 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…

Hi!

Okay, thank you very much, I’ll try it!

Our friend Gilbert 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. :blush: 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. :slightly_smiling_face:

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.


Carefully poke it

This type of Mesh Coil needs a lot of liquid to be transferred by the cotton.
