Help with dripping Dark Chocolate e juice

[Aqueous1025]

I have started using a Dark Chocolate e juice and am in complete love with this dark sweet bitter taste. After switching to vaping from cigarettes a month ago I could not find interest in anything but Turkish Tobacco until now and want to change permanently to Dark Chocolate because it is so good for an all day vape flavor. I am having a problem with it making a mess out of the coils and becoming crusted and black really fast. Occasionally I also get a burnt taste but not the dry cotton or need to wet the cotton burnt taste. It is more of a you burnt real chocolate in the oven kind of taste. It is also completely random. I would appreciate any experienced advice to correct my mistakes and make me better at vaping. I am currently starting to twist some new higher ohm coils to try and help this. I do not know if this is the best way to fix the problem though.

copper Cartel LE 18650
Sonny VTC4 30 amp battery
Mephisto dual coil aty (stock and set with both air ports fully opened)
SS with copper exterior sleeve drip tip
Organic cotton
22g Kanthal A1 .206 ohms before packing with cotton and dripping (seems to settle around .23 after starting to use it); I twist it a tight 8 coils with a 2.4mm diameter twist
local store dark chocolate high vg 3mg nic it is supposed to be 100 vg as well
I usually take longer lung draws from it produces the nice bitter dark chocolate flavor; short mouth and lung draws have a slightly more chocolaty taste
I stop using the battery when it gets to 3.6 or 3.7 volts; for me it starts to get cold at about that point
after awhile it gets enough build up on coil to flick off with your fingernail then starts to get cotton crusty around the coil

thank you for your time

I think your on the right track trying out higher ohm builds to reduce the toasted juice buildup on your coils and I'm sure it will help the flavor. Right now your hitting that .23 build with roughly 76watts on a fresh battery..

Try out a .4 ohm build if you must have a cloud chasing kind of experience. You'll still have plenty of vapor, but you'll be down around 44 watts, which should still provide a pretty warm vape with that dark chocolate taste imho.

I somewhat missed addressing these points the first time I read your question. Even higher ohm attys with some e-liquids will carmelize on your coils and give you a noticable change in the flavor of your vape...but at the sub levels you're chasing, it will be amplified, causing the taste to go downhill very rapidly.

That being said...I'd be less interested in making giant clouds and lean towards a higher ohm build imho. I previously mentioned going with a .4 ohm build, but more conservative, you can still have a very tasty and warm vape at twice again higher number of around .8 ohm. Trust me, you'll still have that cloud too, just a much safer version imho.

It will improve the flavor of your vape and reduce how quickly your coils get caked up.
It's really all about the flavor of the vape and not so much about how massive your clouds are when you really think about.

disclaimer...
After looking at your question a few times now, I personally have reservations wondering and hopeing that you are being safe and carefull with venturing into low sub ohm vaping. I see some posts in your history calling into question the quality of your batteries whether or not they're genuine sony vtc or counterfeits. And I'm also seeing that you've just started vaping just a little over a month ago. All of this along with your relative newness to vaping is cause for great concern that you please proceed with extreme caution.

Sincerely,
Jon

There is only so much you can do trying to work your build around the liquid - the liquid itself is still the constant here. I tried a Chocolate Fudge Brownie and if I'm going to vape that stuff it means relenting to the fact that a coil/wick has to be cleaned or changed out often. You build isn't going to change the flavoring components or sweeteners in the liquid that are the reason why the coil is getting mucked up.
