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.
I have never had a problem with coils fouling up with gunk (so quickly), with any other tobacco flavored E-Juice except for the the TV Tobacco. My lable say's 20% VG on the TV Doubler bottle. My bottle of 48mg Tobacco says ALL PG. I my opinion the TV tobacco IS the worst clogger as far a the coil goes of any juice I have ever used. I tried many things to get it to work by cutting with VG and PG in different amounts and nothing has worked. Like I said in my other post I am going to try adding some TV to my good juices and see if it kills my coils faster than just using my normal good juice, if thats doesn't work I will throw it out. I use my TV in cartomizers only, I don't use atty's. I agree you can fiddle with atty's and clean them easier than carto's, but I like carto's and have no problems with them lasting a little while but not with TV tobacco. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't want to limp a bad juice along when most all of my other juices work so much better. I won't ever buy it again. When my juice first came they were darker than any juice I have ordered. The Tobacco was very dark, could not hardly see light thru it, and the Doubler was brown looking but you could see light thru it, so mine was way more darker, not just cloudy like you said your juice is.

I don't use cartos so it could be worse in cartos. TV Tobacco is quite dark. Looking cloudy to me, I wonder if there's stuff in it. The tobacco base is supposed to be made from tobacco leaves soaked in PG, could be not filtered well or some other ingredient. I think I've heard someone else complaining of clogging in another thread. Who knows!

I wonder also what stuff is in it that makes it clog up coils so quickly. I have even filtered it again in a coffee filter and it still clogs.

This is how TV describes their tobacco flavor:

"This is our own tobacco maceration made from Virginia/Burley/Oriental tobacco. Steeped for a week, strained, clarified and finished with a few choice additives."

Don't know if it's from their tobacco "base" or "choice additives". When I vape JC, AVE & Dekang juice, my attys also don't last more than 1 day. Most of the time, I switch after half a day coz I like a clean, easy pull. So, to me TV is not extra trouble. Again, don't know why clogging cartos.

My label from TV says-- Nicotine, artificial and natural flavors and coloring, VG, PG, ethyl maltol, acetyl pyrazine, guaiacol. So who knows what the culprit is, but its something. I don't have a clue what some of that stuff is. I did start off with using atty's but had to clean way more often than you should need to, with this juice and I like carto's because they last longer between refills. I do like the taste of the TV tobacco and just wish it wouldn't gunk up the coils so fast, you can't really clean the coils in a standard carto because, if you do a dry burn it will ruin it.

Yep, same as what's on my label. TV told me ethyl maltol is a little sweet (shoulder shrug). Many folks take the filling out of cartos, boil them and leave dry overnight and get weeks/months out of cartos. Search for it if you want to clean them. I am the wrong person to talk to about that. User "dormouse" has detailed steps in her posts.

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.

I have never have any of these problems, I have the tobacco reg and menthol in 20%vg80%pg
great taste and TH no clotting here.

Is your juice from Tasty Vapor or someone else? Also when did you order your (Nicotine liquid)/ tobacco E-liquid, 1-OZ, thats the only size they sell. This is the one, some of us have problems with. TV's other liquids works just fine.

Yes 1 OZ bottle
Thanks for the picture. Looks just like mine except mine is 48 mg's and ALL PG. I cut it with the doubler that is 20% VG & and guess the rest is 80 PG. I mix them 50/50. So I guess that makes it 24 mg. Do you vape the 36 mg just like it is or do you cut it with VG or PG?? It looks like yours is 20% VG.

Just as is. Maybe try, getting already made pg80/20vg at 24mg don't mix in anything and maybe no clogging.
