Tried to make Strawberry... ended up with GunkaBerry :(

Hi there... I made a HUGE batch back in 2011, lasted till a few months ago. After using a few pre-mix juices for a while, I ordered some supplies and went to work... I made this 50/50 PG/VG mix, 10% Flavor (loran) @ 24mg. Tried it out and like 5 hours later, the coil was all gunked up. It was a 2 week old coil on a nautilus so I just changed it... 5 more hours and the new coil is also all gunked up. SO I change it again... same story...

I ran out of nautilus coils at that point so, I popped in the aerotank, new coil... few hours, gunked up... I haz fail

One thing I noticed is that, this juice is THICK! It's the same recipe I used countless time years ago but man... I can't even use the needle-tip bottles because the juice is so thick

I added some water to thin it... poped in another kranger coil... 2 hours... gunked up... which I could take a pic, looks nasty in there

Maybe I'm just out of shape.

Were you using the same supplies as previously, or did you order new? Never mind, just saw you ordered new.

what lorann flavors are they and where did you get your pg VG and nic?

Gosh, I'm a doof today, was strawberry the only flavor? Lol. I haz the bad comprehension.

I got everything from Wizard Labs... 100mg Nic on PG base, VG and PG from them as well.. and the loran too...

I have another order from a different vendor coming up... But I guess I'm gonna have to wait for either more coils or a rebuildable atty lol ... I feel so noob

It could just be the strawberry. Does it have food coloring in it? I don't use lorann (except for cream cheese icing) but I seem to recall a lot of them have coloring. That could be gunking up the coils.

Hi, yeah it has coloring on it :\

I would think it would have to be something from the flavoring. Was it LA strawberry you used in 2011?

Hopefully when your new flavors come in you can find something that doesn't gunk the coils. It's weird that a 50/50 mix would be super thick though. Is your PG from wizard labs noticeably thinner than the VG?

No, it wasn't old ingredients. All the ingredients in the GunkaBerry were new. I double and tripple check my measurements. But then again, I haven't done this in years so I might be at fault.

I'm gonna wait till I get new ingredients and supplies and try to degunk this mystery...

Have you tried ripe strawberry? That is some pretty good stuff.

Love ripe strawberry (TFA).
