Because you or another moderator haven't killed it.
Removing the sources head would be very acceptable, IMO.

Because thread is now serious thread again, according to me.
Someone did propose the idea of myself not liking the taste of PG gunk on the coils, even on another thread, but I never saw an explaination that satisfied me as to why I could be mistaking PG gunk with dust, or why the PG gunk forms to begin with? Too high ohms? Not enough/too much wicking? An uneven coil? What is something that could cause this to happen?
Maybe someone could chime in on that? I just want to get this narrow down and eliminated before I hassle myself with RDA's.

I just don't see why I can't ask serious questions here.
Seriously didn't mean the Issac Newton thing like ya'll interpreted.
My stance so far is that the thread I was originally quoting, combined with Thrasher's test, equals me opening myself up to new ideas, and with those ideas, again, they need solving, as the issue is a vaping problem regardless.
If this would somehow be the real issue (PG gunk, as many others have said too), what prevents this? Higher ohms, lower ohms, kanthal, nichrome, tight wrap, normal coil, small internal coil diamter, large one, better wicking, slightly drier wicking, cotton, silica, hemp, more airflow, less airflow...
If someone did know what I was experiencing, and have successfully fixed it, I'd love to know. I'm not tasting this horrible taste across a span of devices out of nowhere.
I'm glad I saw the original thread, it cleared a few things up for me, I was wrong about some things, possibly on the fence about others, I'm glad to admit a mistake, or that silica dust isn't as proven of a theory as I originally thought!

Ever burned something in a pan while cooking? Same principal. Stuff from your juice cooks onto the coil. PG,VG, Flavorings it all builds up on there eventually which is why many of us dry burn then rinse coils to remove all that buildup. Gunk on coils does taint the taste of the vapor. If it gets bad enough it can taint the taste of the rest of the juice in the tank much like burned food on the bottom of a pot can taint the rest of the pot.
New day, new dawn for me. All past mistakes are wiped clean. I'll start afresh.
No, it's not the pg crud that's causing your "dusty" effect. Why not just use high vg juices if pg doesn't work for you? Unless I missed out some other point you have with vg.
Hard to read your posts when they're so long.

Why not start by cleaning your house first. Eliminate all outside influences that could possibly have a negative effect on your scientific experiments. I'd bet that I'm not the only one who has a mental picture of your dwelling. I just cant tell if if says Whirlpool or Kenmore on the side. It's dark under that bridge and my night vision ain't what it use to be.
Well, the thing with VG, is it's only working on the Fluxomizer (and I'm not sure how well - I actually believe it's working contradictory to proper vaping, I'm basically flooding the atomizer with VG, I think that diminishes the good aspect of flavor itself, though it seems to entirely prevent the bad flavor I was getting on the other Flux [and any other device] with PG. I couldn't get the %100 VG to work with the Aspire or Smokin' Crow. It performed pretty darn good on both of them, again better than any of the PG juices, just, it's not until the Fluxomizer that, for some reason or other, it's an entirely "standard" vape.
I've narrowed it down to the fact that VG works so much better for me than PG, but the big question that I was sort of wondering for awhile is wether this is due to simply flavor and types of gunking, or that VG may act as sort of a coil cooler, especially if flooded (required), where PG doesn't in the same scenario.
But I hate to bring that topic up again, this thread isn't the other and I don't wanna make it sound like I'm just continuing some other thread! It really is about the results, the prevention, the getting a better vape, not the debate!

Instead of insisting we try to solve issues for you that just aren't happening to is, why not just move on to something else? Just stop using clearos. Problem solved. You are asking us to resolve issues that only you are experiencing. Yes, we've all had dud coils before and yes, we've all had an unvapeable juice before. That said, you're pretty unique in that not a single clearo or juice seems to be working for you. You speak as though you're problems at the scale that you experience them happen at that same scale to everyone. They do not. You could be sensitive to both PG and silica for all I know, and if I suspected that for myself, I'd move away from both PG and silica rather then come here and insist that these issues are happening to everyone and insist that everyone needs to solve them for me. I'm sorry you seem to be sensitive to two of the most common things in vape, but they can both be avoided and you should do so. You need to change your approach to vaping, rather then insist that the entire vaping world change to suit you. That's why people discuss your ego. The world isn't going to change because it doesn't suit you.
I have no idea why I just read through this thread....I just..I dont even know how to answer here and be helpful so I give you this:
OP I hope you find a proper solution and are able to improve the vaping experiences that you have been having. Whether it turns out to be juice, equipment, VG or silica particles- may there be a happy vaping in sight.

sounds like a possible pg allergy more than anything. many people vape nothing but 100% vg
LOL since the first post- this infatuation with clearos is mind numbing.

Normal completely unavoidable by product of vaporizing pg / vg and flavorings.
Most folks use enough power to minimize build up and extend the life of coil/ wick/ head/atty.
Others can ruin a perfectly good Cisco in a matter of hours by under powering it & flooding it. Even though helpful friendly advice about proper use, care and maintenance was given by dozens members. All of which was ignored leading to the poor Cisco's premature demise.
Which is something only .1 % of vapers could accomplish if they were bound and determined to ruin one.
Good News, what many vapers do is to "tune" their juices for their setups. Certain setups may require higher vg while others require lower vg to give a good vape to the individual. The fluxomizer with high vg works for you, then stick with that.
But I vaped my PG juices on the Cisco and nothing 
, no allergies! Fast gunking though (but without any of that "sock" taste, which was another mystery.) Just ashy tasting gunk, which is normal.
I'm only trying to get this mystery solved because I do want to move onto bigger, better things. To do that, I have to build some sort of true mental image in my mind of what type of build I need to build, or else I'm going to go crazy from the endless options!
I'm just sort of settled on, for my first RDA experiment, buying pre-wrapped coils from Cisco, and simply vaping them. Much easier than building my own coil, and deciding it all myself. Just picking a thing online and pressing order. I can do that!
Just the best advice on that though - they have 0.8ohm coils all the way to 3.5ohms. Should I stay around 2.2ohms? I'm honestly not so sure that I'd trust 3.5ohm's working as well as it originally did - I'm suspicious that they gave me the wrong atomizer or something, because like this forum pointed out, it's weird that the 3.5ohms was performing like I'd think of a 1.8 being.
