Many people have asked the question: “What essential oil is suitable for my burner?”.
And they can only answer: “It depends…”
Don’t get me wrong, we always try to convey the necessary information to users. But when it comes to combining an essential oil with a burner , there are too many things to consider, too many personal preferences to pay attention to in order to give the most “correct” answer.
However, we can still give you some suggestions for you to refer to when choosing essential oils for your burner to make you feel most satisfied. Let's get started.
What do you want from your vape device?
Building your ideal vape device is like buying a new car, your decisions about the various components will dictate your intended use. For example, one can tell the difference between a Bentley and a Kia, and both can take you anywhere on the weekend.
Vaping is similar. Essentially, all e-cigarette devices, regardless of shape, size, or brand, consist of a heating element, an atomizer, and e-liquid. From a Cig-a-like from the convenience store to a modern 4-pin box mod, they all work in the same way. The difference is the experience each type of device can provide you.
For vapers who used to smoke, or those who still enjoy the feeling of smoking, there is no need for a box mod to play with smoke or a thick e-liquid containing only VG.
On the other hand, vapers who like to enjoy the vapor and don’t care much about nicotine or throat hit will definitely not like narrow single-coil atomizers and PG-only e-liquids. They still vape, they just don’t get the satisfaction they want.
Let's dig a little deeper.
About the device
We won’t be going into the differences between atomizers in this article, as there are too many to mention. For the purposes of this article, we’ll stick to just two types of tanks: MTL and Sub Ohm tanks, as they typically come with pre-made coils and an empty tank that you need to fill with e-juice.
MTL Tank
Designed to give a feeling close to smoking
Use pre-built coil
Has a sealed air vent system and essential oil vents
Suitable for thin PG e-liquid with high nicotine content
Sub Ohm Tank
Can use coils with resistance lower than 1.0 ohm
Has a wider essential oil system
Adjustable width of air vents
Designed for powerful hits and vapor production
Requires high power and consumes more essential oil
About essential oils
If you compare choosing a burner to choosing spare parts for a motorbike, then essential oil is the motorbike oil. In an engine, the stronger the operation, the more heat will be generated, in return, it will need a more viscous oil. But if you only need a strong enough engine to go around the city, you need to reconsider, high viscosity engine oil can cause blockage of the engine's operation.
MTL vaping is usually enjoyed at lower temperatures, so MTL tanks do not require a constant flow of e-liquid to keep the cotton wet. Using a thin e-liquid with a high PG ratio can help these tanks maximize their ability to provide throat hits, nicotine, and e-liquid flavor.
In theory, VG e-liquid can also be used in MTL tanks, but that doesn’t mean you should. The narrow e-liquid passages of MTL tanks cannot carry thick e-liquid like VG in time to saturate the cotton with each use, which will lead to burnt cotton and coil.
Sub Ohm is more focused on satisfying cloud chasers, so it needs high VG e-liquid and high power machine. With a large e-liquid system, it can help the high VG e-liquid to easily wet the cotton, which can lead to extremely beautiful clouds of smoke.
The downside to Sub Ohm vaping? Your e-liquid will run out quickly and you will need to top up frequently.
Do you want your tank to be airy or airtight?
For vapers, keeping the airflow open or closed can also change the experience for each person. Many people believe that with a sealed atomizer, they can taste the flavor of the e-liquid better.
This is one of the reasons why adjustable airflow has become standard on most atomizers on the market. Having adjustable airflow allows vapers to tailor their vape to their exact needs based on the type of e-liquid they use and the wattage they use.
Conclude
Ultimately, if your vape kit leaves you satisfied enough with what it has to offer, then you definitely have what you need.
Vaping is always about personal preference. In the ever-evolving world of vaping, there is little sense of “right” or “wrong”, it’s just whether you like it or not.
