So I want to get into DIY juice. I used an online calculator to get a formula for a 60vg 40pg mix at 6mg nic strength.
I added 10% Dragon fruit flavor and 5% raspberry flavor. Got them from Mt. Baker Vapor.
The PG and VG are from Essential Depot, bought them on good reviews from Amazon. USP Food Grade. (it is "Kosher"... I am not sure how VG and PG could be "unKosher" or if that makes any difference...)
The Nicotine is 36mg 50\50 from Vapor Shots
I mixed it up, let it sit for a while and tried it. It tastes pretty good, makes good vapor, pretty much exactly what I want.
Only problem is that as soon as I start using it it begins to produce a black goo that quickly overpowers my RBA. It tastes like burning crap and it immediately gunk's up my coils after only a few hits. It turns into a black fluid that I have never seen before. I have seen juice oxidize and turn a rust color but this is the first time I have seen it turn black.
The coils are built fine, Rebuilt and vaped some free masons and no problems. Then tried my juice again and same problem. I am assuming that it is an issue with something I am putting in the juice.
I am afraid to keep vaping it because A - I don't know what the black stuff is and B - I can't keep rebuilding coils every 10 hits.
Any suggestions on how I might troubleshoot and resolve this issue would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
