It is no secret I adore Ave Juices...
But I ran into a problem with some, during my last order.
To recap: all my juices are in 6mg, so very little nicotine.
I totally adore : Bee's Knees, Clove, Christy's cappuccino, Cheesecake.
I like Pineapple pulp and Chai
But Maple Melody and English Toffee? Unvapable! First of all, they are darkest brown, actually black in color. Very thick, so thick that they wouldn't even wick. I tried filling up a brand new Iclear 30, the wicks remained white in the poor of dark thick black "motor oil" around them! I tried diluting them with some high PG juice, one time , with water, another time. No success. I tried in a brand new Aspire BDC... they made the coil burn smoke within a couple of hours. It was a brand new coil, mind you. So smoky, it made my eye water and stung my nose.
Help please, I don't know what to do anymore with them!!!! How do you vape these things?

Oh, and I don't drip... sorry.... I only use clearos, Iclear 30, Iclear 30S, Aspire BDC, Iclear 16... that's all I have.... I tried playing with the voltage in my Evic supreme, it didn't help either. Should I throw them or there's some secret here I don't know?

No one is gonna like every flavor from any vendor, you'll find a few that are completely unvapable to your tastes flavors from any vendor you order from.
Kinda the way stuff goes if you can't try before you buy.

You could contact them to ask if those particular flavors are supposed to be the way you described them. thick, dark, black.

Not picking on your choice of delivery devices but none of those are known as good wickers.
They are going to struggle to wick dark, thick, sweet juices you'll have to vape slowly and take un powered primer puffs to make sure the wicks/heads stay saturated.

Hi again...
I am not complaining about the taste...although it isn't fabulous for these two... I am just complaining about the fact that they seem to destroy the coil, no matter how diluted... and not wicking.... I was thinking maybe there's some way to make them vaporize....dilute them in some way I haven't thought about?

You could try a couple of drops of PGA like vodka.

I vape Bobas occasionally and depending what delivery device I use, I have to thin it out a little. Ave liquids are notoriously hard on equipment - it's almost the cost of enjoying them.

Not bad advice about contacting them. Ask them directly, tell them what issues you are having and see if they offer any other solutions. I've found their customer service to be great (especially lately) so it can't hurt to shoot them a message.

darker juices do gunk up coils quicker. Especially those I-Clears you are using.

The juices are darker, because of the flavoring agent, and a good generalization is that darker juices just gunk up coils and scum up tanks faster, because that dark stuff is left behind when vaporizing. When you have a top coil design like those I-clears, the wicks sort of slowly filter out a lot of the gunk, and that causes them to clog. A serious over simplifications... but you get the idea.
