Do You Know How to Handle These E-Liquid Issues?

A few common e-liquid issues: 1. E-liquid discoloration in the tank. This situation is more common in tank atomizers, especially MTL tank atomizers using Kanthal A1 wire. In most cases, this happens because the iron element in standard-priced A1 wire rema

   E-liquid issues:<\/p>     1. Discoloration of e-liquid in the tank
    This situation is common in oil storage atomizers, especially those using Kanthal A1 wire for mouth-to-lung vaping. This usually occurs because the iron elements in the regular-priced A1 wire have been soaked in e-liquid for a long time, causing the iron to leach out and be conducted into the storage tank through the cotton, resulting in a reddish or dark red color.
    Mouth-to-lung atomizers consume less e-liquid, and beginners who just started vaping may not use e-liquid quickly, leading to prolonged storage in the tank. Over time, this issue can arise. The solution is to add e-liquid as needed, ensuring that you can consume the added e-liquid within a day.

    This situation usually occurs due to e-liquid being exposed to air, direct sunlight, or being stored for too long, leading to the oxidation and discoloration of nicotine or flavoring. This is normal, and the flavor generally does not change, so it can be used without concern.
    The solution is to store the e-liquid in a ventilated, dark place with a tightly sealed cap, or simply place it on your desk, and finish the bottle within three months.
    3. Brown layer on the surface of e-liquid
    This situation often occurs in winter, with high VG content, or when nicotine-containing e-liquids are left standing for several days.
    Firstly, this brown substance is not a sign of e-liquid damage; it is due to the nicotine solution and colored flavoring that are evenly dispersed in the e-liquid, floating on the surface. This situation mainly arises from cold weather or high VG content.
    Cold weather reduces the fluidity of e-liquid, making it less accommodating to nicotine or deeply colored flavoring, leading to saturation and precipitation.
    Additionally, high VG content does not carry flavoring well, causing nicotine to be gradually repelled by VG and eventually float to the surface.
    The solution is simple: warm the e-liquid bottle with your palm and shake it a few times to mix the nicotine and flavoring evenly again.

    This situation mainly falls into two categories: one is e-liquids with high sugar content in the flavoring, and the other is e-liquids with very high VG content.
    The former has no solution, as it is a problem inherent to the e-liquid itself; players have known for a long time that high-sugar Malaysian e-liquids can burn coils.
    The latter is due to the high viscosity of VG; pure VG has a slow oil delivery speed in cotton. Therefore, if a storage atomizer uses e-liquid with a high VG content, such as 80% VG, it may lead to insufficient e-liquid supply during vaping, resulting in burnt coils. In dripping atomizers, if you add e-liquid after opening the cap without waiting for the cotton to slowly absorb the e-liquid, and start vaping as soon as you see e-liquid on the coil, it can also lead to burnt coils, reducing the lifespan of the cotton and making it difficult to vape multiple times without burning the coil.
    So if you are using a pre-made atomizer, try to avoid using e-liquids with high sugar content. If you are using a DIY atomizer, consider improving your cotton by using faster-wicking cotton to alleviate this issue.
