Well My main juice I have been using for a long time is Tasty Vapors Tobacco Flavor because I like the taste of it but theres one problem I am going threw attys and cartos at a ridiculous speed. My cartos are not even lasting a week before clogging up from the juice so you can imagine how much I have spent on cartos since I started using this juice. The cartos and attys are not cheapo ones either they are from Iken vape.

I usually order my tobacco juice from them with like %40 vg. Which I don't think is to much to be clogging stuff up so fast is it?

I really like the flavor but I can't keep going through cartos and attys like this. The other flavors that I have tried from T.V so far don't seem to do this but I have not really used the other flavors as much.

So Has anyone else had this issue with this same Flavor Juice from T.V? Or am I somehow screwing something up...

Thanks.

I had a problem with some T.V. tobacco juice about a year ago. I noticed a syrupy looking substance collecting at the bottom of the bottle. In fact I still have the juice, but I rarely vape anything other than GCC now. I informed Geoff about it and he was supposed to have fixed the problem. I think it was like little pieces of tobacco in the juice building up or something. Check if your bottle has any of that build up. If so it could be the problem.

I really like TV Tobacco, but I've noticed this as well with both carts (dripping) and now cartos. Lately what I've been doing is using just a small amount of it (like 10% or less, usually doubler as I have a lot around) to lightly flavor otherwise unflavored PG/nic juice. (I buy the latter from Myfreedomsmokes.com.) This has been my "nothing-but" vape for the last three weeks. Very pleasant, and very easy on cartos.

Geoff's Blend from TV (my all day vape) is a known atty killer. As for cartos, I gave up on them.. they would get gunked up in a couple days. I'm not sure if it is my chain vaping that kills the atties or if there is something special within the juice that does it, but it's been reported to be the same by a number of different users.

I can't comment specifically on Tobacco, as I found that I did not care for that flavour much and ended up giving it away.

I have a 1oz bottle of 48 mlg of TV tobacco and a 4 oz bottle of the doubler for a month and I have tried everything to get it to vape with out clogging the atty's, I have strained it thru a coffee filter and it did not look like it had any particles that came out of it so I don't think that is the problem. I have tried the tobacco juice in cartriges, clearomizers and dripping and nothing works, very little vapor even with 30% VG and they clog ALL the atty's in a hour or so with constant vaping and the longer you vape the worse it gets. I have NEVER seen such thick gunk on a coil with anything else. With the clearomizer you can see the coil and I dry burn the gunk off but it is a very thick gunk in just a hour or so, you can't dry burn a cartomizer you just had to throw them out, they will not clean up like normal. I don't know why none of my other juices act like that so I am about to give up and throw out a lot of juice.
I am glad to hear that I am not the only one having problems with the TV tobacco flavor, I thought it was just ME. TV's other juices work great, just not the tobacco, to bad this cost me 30 dollars.

Have you tried taking this to the TV forum? I know there are a bunch of Tobacco afficianados on there. You could even try the TV help line, to see if they have heard of something like this. I do know that at 40% VG, it would be damn near impossible to use TV's juices on a carto. They would just be too thick.

That's my POV anyway.

I've been vaping heavily for the last three months. Every atomizer that I've ever bought is still in good working order. And I vape some pretty "brown" ejuices.

For what it's worth, every atty gets cleaned every week without fail. I also have four PVs going at any one time and constantly rotate them. So the attys aren't getting too hot from constant vaping. I like the variety of four different flavors. If you have one all-day-type ejuice, then you might want to have four PVs, each filled with the same ejuice, going at once.

As always, your mileage may vary . . .

Nope, never tried tastyvapor juices.
Well the question on this thread is, does TV tobacco clog your atty's? This isn't about any other juice. I still have TV tobacco setting here, 4 OZ bottle and it clogs every cartomizer I have used. What it is really doing is cloging the coils. I keep trying this stuff because I paid alot for 4oz's but I may have to throw it out at some point. PS--All the other juices from PV have worked great.

well im glad I found this thread. I have not tried the TV tobacco but every other TV juice I have tried has killed my tank attys. I have been vaping for a month and I have already been through 4 attys. I had a feeling that it was TV juice that was the problem so I got a new atty and switched vendors for the juice and started fresh and I am now on my longest running atty with the new vendor. I have been using the same atty for 2 weeks now with none of the problems I was having.
I was using tv blueberry, pina colada, cupcake, and waffle 80/20 pg to vg mix

Some months later...

I just found this thread, i have some TV Tobacco juice (80%PG 20%VG, 24mg) that it ruins my iAtty coil after 1 day of vaping, it produces a lot of gunk, carbon or charred material. I have tried with differents ohms (1.2 to 2).
Thats my experience with TV Tobacco juice, and I used it at 3.2 ohm's and it gunked up the coils very quickly. It looks like with you, that lower ohm carto's doesn't help either. I have a bunch of the tobacco juice still setting here after 4 months, I hate to throw it but I have 4 OZ of it. I have not tried to use it at all for a few months and thinking I will try one more time and throw it out, If you can't figure a way to use it then there is no reason to keep it. I might try to add it to a good juice for the flavor and see what happens.

I've got 240 mls of TV Tobacco doublers in the frig, use them daily as base, cut with other juice. I don't have any particular clogging problem, but I do rotate 4-5 attys a day. After half a day of steady vaping, I switch to clean attys. The used attys get a boiling hot water soak, to be dry burned later. I also vape Dekang flavors, do the same with those attys, so TV not necessarily worse cloggers. It is cloudy looking though and I don't know how it behaves in cartos.

I can tell when a "dirty" atty's pull is not as good or flavor is reduced, time to clean.

Edit: oh, and my TV tobacco is also 40% VG.
