VG/PG ratios dictated by the weather.

[Banjostring]

Does anyone change their mixing ratios depending on the current weather?

In the home all is ok, but I'm getting a slight cotton taste after four or five tokes on a Dtl set up whilst out and about, probably due to the cold.

I've started mixing at 60vg rather than 70 for out and about Dtl and 60pg for Mtl to aid better wicking. The 60vg should be suitable for Mtl in the summer as it won't be too thin. Although I'll then have to mix at 80vg for Dtl to allow for the warmer weather.

This all seems like a bit of a faff now that I've seen it typed out here, but if it's the price I have to pay for a consistent vape, I'm ok with it.

I'm not sure if it would be easier or even possible to alter my build/wicking to achieve the same results but I'm happy with how I build my atties now so a slight variation in mixing percentages is probably the best way for me to go to achieve consistency.

What do you guys think? Am I overcomplicating things? Do you any of you do this too?

I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts, from experienced mixers to those that just knock up a bit now and then.

Thanks

Ideal way of overcoming a real issue there.
I tend to give the fire button a quick nudge before tooting properly if I'm out in the cold.
A sort of preheat if you will cos a hot coil on cold juice and cotton is not a good combination.

Never really noticed but then again I only MTL when out and my mix is always 60/40.

i don’t notice it either. always use 50:50 and it works in the winter, summer and hotter places. maybe it’s more of a problem for higher vg.

I think I notice this more in the summer when 70/30 juice is more like water

Generally there are four seasons in Poland – spring, summer, autumn and winter, although some people distinguish two additional seasons, described as early spring and early winter. Spring begins in March, bringing sunny days and, sometimes, rain and light frost, with daily temperatures ranging from 5 deg. C to 15 deg. C. The summertime can be really hot, with temperatures around 20-25. it begins in late May / June and lasts until the end of August. During the autumn the weather is often changeable – you are likely to enjoy moderately warm temperatures from September to October, while November brings rains and lower temperatures. In winter days become visibly shorter. It is cold and cloudy and brings frequent snowstorms and relatively low total precipitation. The average temperature in January is about -4'C but it can fall as low as -35'C.

Now i see why it matterd where you are!

Maybe just a bit less wick would do the trick.

I always mix my own mtl liquid at 40/60 or 50/50, but any dtl I mix in winter (mostly for my friend) I’ll mix at 65/35 rather than the 70/30 I make the rest of the year. I did mix her some 75/25 one hot summer, but she whinged that the flavour ‘wasn’t right’ It seems like a very reasonable thing to do in the Polish climate

I use 70/30 or 80/20 vg/pg. Never altered it in the winter and I haven't noticed any problems. RDA and squonk mod though , no tanks so maybe RDA's fare better in the winter.

And more wick in the summer?
