We can not talk about that
Call it CBD and maybe you can get some one to answer
Hello, I am new here to the forums, and hoping to get some help with a vaping issue I am experiencing. I have been trying to solve this problem for about 2 weeks now, with no luck! I have spent countless hours google searching, reading, and trying different things, but nothing is working. Hopefully, someone here can shed some light on what is happening.
I use disposable oil cartridges for my ejuice. I have been vaping them for a a little while now. I have probably been averaging one 1ml cartridge every 3-4 days. For the past two weeks or so, I cannot get ANY oil cartridge to produce vapor. My vaping just completely stopped out of nowhere one day. At first, I thought the cartridge was bad. I went and got another one out of my batch of 15. It was dead also! After trying the third one and not getting any vape, I knew something else had to be wrong.
I thought it was my device next. I tried two other vape batteries I had, but they didn't work either. Needless to say, I cannot get a single cartridge to work in my home. I've tried multiple devices, multiple brands and flavors of cartridges, I've transferred oil to known working cartridges (but they no longer work), I've bought 3 different kinds of new disposable cartridges and none of those will work. I also started to make my own ejuice, but they no longer work either. Warming the oil doesn't work, you get the picture here...
I do not know what it is, but something is causing my vape juice/oil to become "unvapable" (that's the only way I know how to explain it). I've literally tried every suggestion I could find online and NOTHING is working. It's as if someone simply flipped a switch in my house and disabled ALL vaping!
One thing my wife did mention to me this morning... She said her fragrance plug-ins (like from bath and bodyworks) have been going out quicker than normal, and with oil still left in them. This tells me it may be something related to the weather or atmospheric conditions (sounds crazy, I know). I've tried multiple cartridges and devices outside of my home as well. I've even left some outside of my house (on patio and garage), tried vaping outside, tried vaping away from house (vehicle, friends house, work, etc.).
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? This is driving me crazy. I've spent and wasted so much money trying to solve this issue, it's ridiculous. I would really love to find out what is going on and what I can do to fix it in order to resume my vaping.

Well what vape mod do you have? I'd say it's the mod not 15 coils. And vaping away from the house is no different than vaping on the toilet. It's gotta be your device. Take a qtip and clean anything to may see juice on. Your firing contact may be pushed down too. The metal part that touches the coil is the contact

They have ALL been cleaned, thoroughly, even though 4 of them are BRAND new. I've probably tried a at least 30 different cartridges, and have tried most all of them on each pen. Something is going on inside my house that's causing some kind of chemical reaction to my ejuice. But wth could it be?
Trust me, I have tried EVERY simple solution out there.
Gotta be the firing pins in the mods or bottom of tanks. Take a knife tip and lightly try to pull up so they'll make contact

Tried that as well... All are thoroughly cleaned and inspected, even though some are brand new.
I don't think it's possible for me to get 30+ bad cartridges in a row, when they all came from different parts of the world. I bought 4 new devices the other day and sat down with everything because I was so mad that nothing was working.

Well, think of it this way..
Your mod is a very SIMPLE electronic device. If there were something in your environment killing electronics, it wouldn’t focus on your mod.
Maybe try taking them to a b&m and seeing if they can’t sort it out

All... I cannot get a single cartridge to work on ANY of my batteries. All they do is produce "dry hits" no matter which cartridge I try, or which battery I try it on.
Maybe your charger is broken? is there lights on the devices when you try to fire them and if there is what are they doing?
I've tried multiple chargers, cables, and outlets (even computers) for charging my pens. Also have a voltmeter. I know they are all charged and charging correctly.
When I attempt to inhale vapor, all I get is the burnt/nasty taste from a burning wick. The ejuice/oil will NOT vaporize.
Well, they work as far as power goes. Everything was fine up until about 2 weeks ago. Since then, I cannot get a cartridge to work in my home, period. A friend of mine has some of my same cartridges, plus he has some of the ones that we made. His work, mine do not.

Have you been using these same cartridges from the same company exclusively? If not I’d say it’s the manufacturer who’s made either faulty tanks, coils, etc.. damaged them when filling, or it’s their liquids specifically. Perhaps made too viscous to properly wicks fast enough in the cartridge.

I use the lowest power setting on each pen I use. Not sure what resistance of the coils are. They are all disposable.

Looks like one of the is variable wattage.
Crank the power up a little bit and see what happens
It sounds more like you’re not wicking. Drop a bit of juice down the driptip, turn up the lord and see happens.

On the variable wattage one, you can see the tank on it. I put new juice in it and turned it up to try it.. No vape, just burned the oil and that's all.

So it BURNED the coil... you have power.
It’s not wicking. Did you try dropping juice down the driptip and see if that makes vapors happen

Ok, so you have either a bad wick/coil or the juice viscosity is too thick for the wick to keep up.
What coil heads/cartridge are you using?
KingPin!
In my defence, I was left unsupervised ^^

Probably dancing around the subject cause it’s banned on this forum
simple rule of thumb is use E-juice on coils designed for E-juice
For the other stuff you’ll have to go elsewhere to seek answers for it

A bad wick and or coil in over 30 cartridges? I don't think that's the problem.
Well, I would come out and say it, but it's not allowed. I just thought I would turn to the online community since I can't get this resolved in any other way. I don't know why we can't discuss certain oils here when it's perfectly legal in 22 States.
But it's not legal. It's just not enforced in those states.
The association is not good for an industry that do-gooders are trying to shut down. Vaping nicotine is under attack, more so than the product that can't be named.
Most of us don't want people saying that vaping is a gateway or a dog whistle for drugs. Even if we don't care about the product we can't name, one way or the other.
I'm just trying to get my problem solved. The suggestion you made about putting a cartridge in the freezer. I haven't seen that anywhere before so I will give that a try when I get home.

The other thing to try is place a finger over the air hole and suck..
Suck it like it’s prom night for a few pulls and then try.
No worries, we'll help where we can. That's an association we can't afford as vapers, in any state.
If you are trying to Vape Oils and not e-Liquid then it is combusting and burning the wick and will not allow it to wick. Vaporizers are for e-Liquid and not OILS of any kind.
