Liquid Longevity: How to Make Your e-Juice Last Longer
Who doesn’t blowing vape clouds? Vaping is a great alternative to cigarettes because it’s better for your lungs and a lot more fun. Vaping can also be a lot cheaper than cigarettes if you know what you’re doing.
The truth is, it’s not much cheaper if you blow through your E-Juice rapidly. For example, those vape clouds are impressive but they use up a lot of your juice. You want to be a little more conservative with it If you don’t want a gaping hole in your wallet.
Here are a few tips and methods on how to make your E-juice last longer so you can save money and keep the fun rolling.
1. Retro Vaping
It’s as the old saying goes, less is more. Today’s vape pens are a lot more advanced than they were when the craze first picked up. There are a lot more bells and whistles on them that you don’t necessarily need.
You can save on juice by keeping the basic of the basic vape pens because they don’t use up near as much. They do this by offering a higher automizer resistance and low power. If saving on juice doesn’t convince you, it also allows for a longer lasting battery which means you can vape longer.
2. Fix Leaks
It goes without saying that if you have a leak, you should probably get it fixed. It usually stems from you either overfilling the tank or not filling it correctly but if this isn’t the case, you should probably have your tank checked out.
It could be possible that you have juice stuck in the center tube so you can try cleaning that out before you go get it looked at or replace the tank. Either way, you need to come up with a solution because a leaking tank will use up a lot of juice.
3. Raise your OHMs
Sub-OHM vaping can give you some of the most intense flavor and best clouds but it uses up a ton of E-Juice. The reason why it does this is quite obvious more vapor equals more juice used. A sacrifice must be made.
One way you can work around this is to mix your own juice. Doing that will give you more at your disposal. If you don’t want to do that though, there is really no helping it, you’ll have to get used to producing thinner clouds to be conservative on your juice.
4. Lower Your Wattage
If you really enjoy sub-OHM vaping you might be able to lower the wattage. When you lower your wattage, less heat is being produced by your coil which means you not only save on power but also use less E-Juice.
If you play around with your settings a little bit you should be able to find a balance between your wattage and OHM that will give you the results you want while allowing you to be conservative.
5. Choose the Right Place to Store it
To save on E-Juice you need to learn how to store it in a method that will keep it from going bad as quickly. You should find a dark, dry place to put it that is out of the reach of your pets or children.
If you mix your own juice some of your materials like the propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin can be stored up to two years. Once you introduce it to your flavorings though, it’s expiration date will shrink a little. This isn’t a huge problem considering it probably won’t last you but a few weeks.
Make sure any juice that your currently vaping isn’t left out in the heat or in direct sunlight.
6. Propylene Glycol Juice
Different juice types have their own storing rules. Propylene glycol is the least picky of the two. You still need to store it in a dark area like a pantry or refrigerator but due to its properties, juice made with it will last you for a long time.
The reason why it lasts longer is that it’s a natural virus killer. It won’t gather up bacteria as vegetable glycerin juice would. Due to the fact that it repels viruses, it won’t undergo degradation either.
7. Vegetable Glycerin Juice
Vegetable glycerin is going to be the main chemical in your juice if you like to produce thick smoke clouds. Vegetable glycerin is also pickier in terms of how it should be stored.
It is prone to viruses and degradation and while it’s rare, will go bad if you don’t store it correctly. The biggest ways to tell that it’s gone bad is that the juice will get very dark and something about it just won’t taste right.
Keep in mind that just because you have E-juice that contains nicotine that doesn’t mean it’s safe from going bad. If you expose it to enough light and heat it will expire.
Methods on How to Make Your E-Juice Last Longer
If you enjoy vaping, chances are that you will go through your E-juice super quickly if you aren’t careful. Producing thick clouds is fun and satisfying but unless you balance your OHM with your wattage, you will burn through the juice. If you don’t store it properly it will go bad and you’ll have to throw it out.
