Welp, I vape cinnamon liquid quite a bit. I've been using dual coil cartomizers (cause they kick you in the teeth, in a good way) with everything I vape. Sadly, whenever I use cinnamon liquids it gums up my cartos or something - almost NO airflow from the dual coil carto after less than a day of use.

Has anybody else experienced this problem?
Solutions?
Reasons?
I'm thinking the cinnamon just eats away at the carto or maybe almost rusts it. I don't know :\. Suggestions greatly appreciated.

I remember when I vaped nothing but Cinnamon, God I loved it. I doubt there's a flavor that is harder on Coils & Plastic tubes than Cinnamon. I gave it up. Now DIY nothing but 0Nic0FA, (Zero Nicotine, Zero Flavor Added). I find Pure VG a rather sweet vape all by itself. If I thin it, I use PGA, (Pure Grain Alcohol). I suppose PGA has a flavor, so not sure I can claim "No Flavor Added". But, that's all I put in my DIY eLiquid. VG & PGA. . .makes for a very cheap vape liquid. JMHO

Cheers,

I'm a cinnamon fan myself. The are only 2 solutions, quit using it or just deal with it. I use Boge carto's which are cheap enough that when I get on my cinnamon kick, I just toss them at the end of the day. Nothing beats a good cinnamon juice in a fresh Boge. I even tried Fusions but had the same results. I don't want to toss the Fusions that quick so I use the Boge which are a tad cheaper.

Seem to have found a solution. I've been almost overfilling the cartos. I've been on one dual coil carto for the past three days and it's still going - a little less airflow, but very manageable. Seems that if you keep the liquid away from the tiny air vents in the bottom of the carto it'll be fine.
Thanks for all of your help folks

I love my C.D.S. from vapor bomb for my all day vape. I use pga to clean my cartos. You need to let it soak and use a syringe with the pga to try to clean it the best you can. It will air dry fairly quickly compared to water. That's what I do. I hope you try it so you don't have to keep tossing out cartos. Good luck!

I use bananas fosters coffee from ms ts exclusively and go through 2 carts a week. I thought it was just thick juice or lotsa VG, but if its cinnamon ill gladly find another main squeeze!!


Keeping the liquid from the bottom of the cart isnt doable in my case. DCT Map tank
If your tank hasn't cracked or show signs of becoming cracked etc... you should be fine. In all honesty 2 carts a week is the norm.

Hello,

I just cleaned my cartos where I used the fireball (cinnamon juice too) and they are working like a champ.

I just used a syringe and a condom (cut the cap and use as a tube). Connect your carto to the tube and syringe and pulll hot water through it 4 times, removing the water you pulled from it. Then after the 4th time, just blow hot water back and forth about 6 to 8 times and it will be cleaned.

Hope it helps.
