Diluted some Salt Bae Blue Rasberyy Lemonade 50mg down to 25mg with a 60/40 vg/pg blend. Now my coils aren't lasting?

It was a 30 more bottle so I poured half into another bottle and then the pure vg/pg to fill each back to full and approximately 25 mg/ml. But now my could are burning in a day or two when they would normally last at least a week. What is going on?

Whatever that juice is it sounds like it has a shit ton of sweetener in it. You probably have to dilute it a lot more than that to save your coils.

I make my own juice with minimal flavoring and my coils last like 3 months with regular nicotine base that I mix myself at about 90/10 (vg/pg).

Cause you’re vaping more? Or the ratio is thinner?

I normally use 25 so I don't think I'm vaping more. I didn't think the ratio would affect coil life?

Ive heard anecdotally that nic salt wrecks sub ohm coils. Ive heard it a lot. Ive never had an issue nut I do t burn just salt.

The ratio is thicker than the OG. I think salt bae is 50/50

when you change the vg/pg ratio for low wattage coils like salt-nic coils, that don't wick as effectively and burn out faster. Next time you dilute, make the ratio 50/50.

The target after diluting is only 45/55 PG/VG 25mg nic

I make my own juice.. but what I do is make my normal 3 mg. and then add a bit of a matching flavors salt to the pod when filling.. Salts straight make me weeze something awful... but this way works for me and my pods last a good while... but I only use pods when I'm out where crowds don't like clouds.. lol... I don't pod as my all day vape... but I do hit em everyday... 😄

> Salts straight make me weeze

They can take my breath away sometimes. It's a strange sensation.
