I've found that anything with cinnamon will gunk up a coil and ruin seals.. generally I like to say anything high nic will gunk up a coil and really strong bold flavors may have something to do with it. And u can't go wrong with premium reputable juices
I'd suggest unflavoured or "HoF" Hint of flavour mixes (2% flavour or less).
My diy is 50/50 PG VG and 1% flavoring (see below). There is no gunking of the coil for practical purposes. Even so I rewick twice a week and rebuild once or twice a month to keep the best possible flavor and throat hit. One of the reasons I use a simple rda is it is fast to rewick and rebuild and DIY gives me control of flavoring. I mix once a month. That job takes may be 20 minutes. An interesting thing with vaping, the less you spend the better the vape.
I couldn't agree more with that last statement. I don't really mess with fancy builds so I can get a good medium of both cloud and flavor. I like good flavor and all but it's a pain in the ... to try to perfect flavor. Keep it simple. Even with tanks I'd change my coils before they were burnt out to make sure I get full function and flavor.
I am finding that out and since I am drifting back toward tobacco flavors I'll lay off of the sweet ones.
What gunks up coils is still a debate. With no flavoring at all, plain vg will gunk a coil. Plain pg doesn't. Nic level has no real affect despite what some say. I've vaped 24mg unflavored 80pg/20vg for 2 months on the same build with no gunking.
Any sweet flavor will gunk a coil including plain vg due to the sugar carmelizing but natural sugar won't gunk as fast as the added sweeteners do. The sweeter the juice the faster it gunks up a coil.

Yeah...
Less Flavoring
Less Sweetener
No Added Colorants
Running Thinner e-Liquids (Less VG and or Added H2O)
Faster Ramp Down Times
Bigger Diameter Coils with Good Wicking
Take Shorter Hits
Reduced Wire Temp
Increased Airflow
Less ml's per Day
YMMV
You don't have to do All of them.
Or you could just do what I do. And that is buy Pre-Coiled Coils...
$2.20 Authentic MKWS 316 Stainless Steel Pre-Coiled Wires for RBA Atomizers (50-Pack) - 26 AWG / 0.4mm dia. / 0.32ohm at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
... and then just Pop in a New Coil when the Old One gets gunked up.
BTW - Welcome to the ECF.
Sugars are naturally in a lot of extracts. It's what give vg it's slightly sweet taste as well as fruit flavors. Even synthetic flavoring can have sugars in it that occur when the various compounds blend.
Some vapers live for the sweet juices especially if they are new vapers and testing all the waters, we all have done it and we all have wasted money on YUK juice. I rebuilt coils early in my journey so coil gunking juice wasn't a big issue for me. It became the sweetness of the juices that started a domino effect with me that led me to start vaping less sweet juice that is hard to find crap shooting internet vendors then wasting money. I had to DIY to get away from oversweet juice. Vaping clearos then protanks the sweet issue was there but not rampant until I started subtanks and lower ohm coils then all the problems rose rapidly.
My domino effect from commerical juices was severe drymouth that led to excessive water drinking to quench the unquenchable thirst, being 53 my bladder isn't young and strong so up every 2 hours in the night to pee along sugar buzzes from subohm sweet juices.
My Hangsen tobaccos give me 3 weeks to a month of vaping before my rayon poops out which is double the usual lifespan of the same coil wicked with cotton. Experience will tell you when your coil is toast or that "devil schite into your mouth" taste.

Typically fruit vapes are pretty clean. Anything bakery, tobacco or desert-like is more than likely going to gunk your coils.
If you want specific vendors, I am not much help there. I don't buy much premade juice these days BECAUSE they are usually oversweetened to death.
(Back in the day, Ahlusion was the bomb... very clean and not over-sweetened. Maybe check them out?)
