    Any good brands/flavours that don't gunk up pods?

    I've heard that menthol doesn't ruin pods as fast as some other flavours, but are there any other flavours like that? Also, do juices with "natural fruit flavouring" as opposed to artificial sweeteners gunk up pods as fast? Thanks.

    Gunk narrowing down the chimney of the coil, solution?

    I use cCell coils. The problem I have with these coils is that after about 40ml (mostly dark flavored juices), the gunk accumulation narrows the chimney. As a result, the vapor and flavor decreases and I need harder suction. I have a cotton based coil for which the following procedure works...

    Cleaning coils with alcohol: How effective?

    This guy claims his method works for all coils: I've tried it several times with ceramic coils, and it didn't do any good. It helped with a cotton based coil though. Please share your experience.

    Contributors of gunk accumulation

    From what I've read, VG/PG ratio and sweeteners/flavors are two main contributors to gunk accumulation, and apparently nicotine level has no role. My question is, how much is the contribution of each component? Which of the following will increase the lifespan of the coils more: 1. Switching...

    What is the least gunky juice in this list?

    This is the list of brands that I have access to buy. I want longevity from my coils, since they are very expensive in Iran. Which brand is the best for this purpose? Well, it's a bonus if the flavor is also good. If none of these are low gunky, please recommend me a few, I will try to find...

    How do I prevent herbal e-liquids from gunking up coils?

    I have been trying to make an herbal e-juice for about 6 months now and I have still had nothing but poor results. I tried 3 different straining methods in order to create the herbal extract. I would put VG into a jar a long with the herbs in my case it was spear mint. Then I would place the...

    Gunk and Performance

    I'm sure the answer is yes but I'm just making sure. Gunk build up on a battery where it connects to a tank lowers performance right? If yes then how?

    The "GUNK" Paradigm. Or ... What are you people talking about?

    I'm a bit perplexed. Now while I haven't been vaping a long time ~3&1/2 months, I have in that time gone from primarily a Kanger PT3 mini on a Spinner 2 to a Mutation X on an IPV3 and a Stllare on a Manhattan Mech, and I've read so so much (i'm a voracious reader at over 350 wpm) here and...
