Hey all. I'm real new to this whole scene so I was hoping to pick your collective brains on an issue.

One of the juices I picked up is my favorite flavor so far (haven't tried a ton yet though,) it's a cappucino blend and is very dark in color. Every time I've tried to use it though, my vape seems to completely clog up rather quickly. The tank in question is BCC mini on an iTazte vv.

Is clogging a common problem with those sort of tanks? Or with darker juices? Or . .something else?

I have a TS3 tank also, currently filled with something else. Would that work better maybe? I just figured out that the TS3s worked with this battery and hadn't tried it yet.

I was replacing atomizers twice a day until trying a different juice and realized they didn't all do this.

Yup, those dark, sweet juices are murder on the coils. You'll just have to clean them daily--I drop mine in a small shot glass and cover them with PGA. let them soak for a couple of hours.

Vaping a tankful of unflavored base or just plain PG or PG/VG mix will dissolve some of the gunk from your coil--PG is a good solvent.

Yep, not unusual for the dark, sweet juices. You might try turning up the power a bit, unless you're already at the max for the juice / resistance you have. That can sometimes help clean it up.

Or maybe add a drop (maybe 2, but probably not more!) of distilled water to the bottle to slightly thin it. You don't want to add so much that you dilute the flavor!

Or just get used to having to clean and dry burn after each tankful. It's not the BCC, it's the juice.
