Coil Build up?

[Chris850]

Ive recently been getting into the DIY liquid, started when I seen a clone of the bobas bounty and wanted to try, well it went from there, the fever set in and now I cant stop buying flavors lol. My concern is something in my flavor is causing alot of buildup on my coils. I can build it and vape all day, by the time I get home from work it seems like the battery is dieing, change battery and same thing, (by the way this on my kayfun). I get home and open up the kayfun and this thick black gunk is built up all over the coil and the wick. Im worried that this is not good for me, if it builds up on the addy like that whats it doing to my lungs???!!! Heres a break down of my ingrediants so maybe one of you could pinpoint the culpret!


Black Mile + (ECIGX)
Cinnamon Danish (TFA)
Graham Cracker (TFA)
Coconut (TFA)
Almond Natural (Lorann)
Vinegar

Ive used the black mile and coconut in other flavors and dont have this problem. The graham cracker Im using in another flavor now and havnt noticed it yet (2 Days now). I think its narrowed down to the cinnamon danish or vinegar, Im not vaping vinegar by itself. Has anyone else run into this on any of there flavors? Is it something I should be concerned with?

Well itd be easy to figure out. If you used like 2% vinegar or something, just make a flavorless nic batch and add 2% vinegar. Theres no need to vape straight vinegar. You could also make the cinnamon danish on its own. Generally speaking, most of the mixes I make are mild on the coils, but yes, when one recipe drives me nuts, I dissect it to figure out exactly what makes it gunk.

It happens. I just dry burn or rebuild when necessary and vape on.

If you compare the build up in the carto to smoking an analog cigarette the build up and what gets in your lungs is basically insignificant compared to cigarette smoke. As an ex smoker to me it's not a big concern but I do appreciate your concern. To me what is more anoying with these types of mixes is one mix I can go all week before having to clean and dry burn or rebuild. But with others they can clog a coil within a day. These are usually the overly sweet creamy mixes. Sweeteners and such are known to cause this. The advice given above is very good advice. Vape each flavor individually until you find the suspect flavor and switch that out for another manufactures flavor. If you really love the flavor then you will just have to clean and dry burn more. If your adding sweetener then try reducing it. I know it's kinda a catch 22 where on one hand the mix is really good and you don't want to change it but on the other hand it distroys your cartos

I've noticed anything with cinnamon clogs up coils faster, also dark colored juices and high VG amounts cause that problem for me too.

 

[Chris850]

thank you all for your advice, im going to try each one by itself for a day and see what happens, I do run 100%vg other than the flavoring and nic being pg, so i guess its more of a 80/20 vg/pg blend. And your right after I think about it, compared to what I was putting in my lungs with ciggs this is nothing.

Anything NATURAL is going to gunk up coils quicker due to organic particulates within. So avoid natural extracts or accept it for what it is and expect to rebuild more frequently.

 

[savagemann]

Are you using em or sweetener?
I find those to be my number 1 culprit in coil gunking if over used.

 

[Crunktanium]

I don't get gunk from EM and I use lots of it in some of my mixes.

 

[Chris850]

No not using em or sweetner, the only thing I use are the contest in the op, im prob just going to have to rebuild once a day cause i really love this flavor

Ever since I stopped putting sweetner with sucralose and changing to EM,My coils definitely last longer.

What sweetner were you putting with sucralose?
