Strange question about concentrates? (lemmy.world)

Hi trees!

I've an odd question for you. I've got a concentrate tank that spontaneously died on me. Instead of wasting it, I decided to try and get it working again by pouring the concentrate into the standard vape chamber that came with my vape. However, the liquid is so viscous that it doesn't seem to flow into the coils (needed a hair dryer to get it to flow into the chamber!).

I tried pouring some normal e-liquid in and mixing it up to try and water it down, but that hasn't really worked either. The two liquids don't seem to mix.

Has anyone tried anything similar and had any luck making concentrate less viscous so it will vape in their standard chamber?

I guess I see why concentrates tend to come in really thin, tall chambers now

You're talking about an e-liquid tank full of distillate, kind of like this, right?

If you just filled it, you should just have to let it sit for a while - I left mine overnight before I hit it to let the distillate soak into the coils.

If it worked for a while before dying, though, then the atomizer might have burned out. You can replace it, but you'll have to empty and refill the tank, so it might be easiest to just empty it into a spare tank and use that one for a while.

Yeah, that's exactly the kinda thing I've poured it into!

The disposable cartridge it came in died so the atomiser must be burnt out in that one, but as far as I'm aware this one works.

Having left it overnight, it does appear to have mixed in with the e-liquid now, so hopefully you're right and that's all that's needed. Got errands to do today so I can't test it just now sadly.
