What kind of flavor? What PG/VG? What airflow setting? What coil resistance? What nic level? How old is the coil?

I used to have juices that would darken as I would go through a tank. I think that happened a lot more when I didn't have good airflow and my coil wasn't wicking well. All my tanks have airflow controllers (which I tend to run wide-open) I usually run about 1.8ohm coils around 8.5-9W (only about 4V or just a smidge less)

I have been running 60p/40v with less than 10mg nic, and I can't tell you the last time I've had a tank darken on me.

If you are talking about Ruthless the brand, they seem to use way more (or a different type) of sweetener than most premium juices. I love their flavors but that sweetener is just too much, and tends to darken juice and gunk coils faster than other juices.

Sorry to say not much you can really do, it doesn't sound like you are vaping at any unreasonable power levels or anything so you might have to find another brand to vape if it's becoming a big issue for you. It's a shame because I love their ez duz it, swamp thing, and slurricane, but that sweetener.....

It's menage a trois by Ruthless. I am not sure but i think i remember reading ruthless is like 70v/30p. It's high vg. Unitank doesn't have airflow settings. Coils are whatever came with the unitank, probably about 1.5. 12mg nic, coil is two days old.

Thanks. I LOVE menage a trois, and it has been my adv since coming back to vaping a couple of days ago, but I may need to find a new adv. Have some velvet cloud on the way and i want to try seduce juice.

For now I'm trying to fill the tank halfway when i fill it so i don't have to dump as much.

I'm wondering if the stock coil is having trouble keeping up with wicking? Don't know much about unitank and its coils.... Do you have a fresh coil to swap?

If stock coil you could try dry burning. Not at computer so I don't have access to links but you can google that and get some advice about how to do that

Sent from.... ooh look! Something shiny!!!

My kanger stock coils have this same issue. The ones i rebuild with Japanese cotton are considerably better. Even now, i'm using a stock dual coil on my aerotank mega. I have to put it down quite a bit or i start getting burnt hits. I have so many problems with my kanger stuff. I wish I would have went with a different brand, but I have a ton of coils and I don't want to waste money on another company's tanks at this time.

Every kanger thing I own either leaks, floods, gurgles, or burns.

The only other tanks i have had are kanger t2, aerotank and aspire nautilus. All my other tanks have had dry hits and gurgled except this unitank. The only downside is the flavor isn't as strong, which is why i hated it at first, but now i realize i don't have the problems with it i have had with other tanks.
