DIY Coffee Q- oily?

[alljokingaside]

hey all,

I've been vaping a coffee blend with an PG extract from Kirkland-brand Guatemalan beans and, while it tastes great, it tends to dirty the cotton up reaaallly quickly. Like, within a day sometimes. I'm wondering if it's because of the beans I used, the technique, or if it's just the nature of the beast? If it's the beans (ie too oily), then should I back up off it due to the oily content?

I made the extract by soaking 15mL of finely ground coffee in ~20-25mL of PG at around 170-200 F (slightly below boiling) for a few hours, then let sit for a few days before filtering. Atm, organic beans are ...difficult to come by around these parts. Thanks!

Most extracts will gunk up wicks a lot faster than non-extract juices. Here is a thread that might help http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/liquid-extraction-tobacco/654006-net-best-extraction-method-minimise-coil-gunk.html

That seems to be the case for most NET juice users.

@ Alljokingaside,
It is the nature of the beast... Good luck, regardless.

I made a "coffee w/ cream" recently, the liquid itself didn't come out very "dark" so I thought I wouldn't have this gunk issue, but alas I do. I think its just par for the course with these "darker" juices. My flavors are from FW.
