You can try closing the airflow waay down, which will help create more vacuum to pull the thick juice better, but here's a simple 6 step method to make it work.

1) Go to B&M or log in to your favorite supplier website.
2) Purchase/order a Lemo, kanthal, and sterile cotton balls.
3) Look up "lemo coil build" on youtube.
4) Follow directions in the video to build, install, and wick a coil.
5) Fill, vape, enjoy, and get better flavor than you knew existed.
6) Place clearomizer in conveniently located trash receptacle.

Kidding. But in all seriousness, clearos don't do well with high wattage or thick juice. The experience is about a million times better with a rebuildable tank, and they're pretty easy to learn to use. It might be worth trying one to see if you like it.

Is the Lemo coil build relevant to kanger coils or rda?

I usually do more pg but may want a flavored vape instead of my usual menthol on occasion.

I am thinking about RDAs but they seem like a ton of tinkering and upkeep but saving on coils may be nice. They look easy to build. Any recommendations on a cheap reliable RDA?

not much tinkering when you get used to building coils. with those new kuro coilers coming out its as easy as sticking some wire there, wrapping a few times then just sticking it on a device. once you are able to build a coil you like, all you have to remember is how many wraps you do. then you just stick a wire in there, wrap x amount of times and stick it on. they last longer than the rebuildables because you can dryburn and clean them easier, and you rarely get that super hard burnt flavor u surprisingly get sometimes from prebuilt clearotanks. I went from full time 1+years on an aerotank mini to full time RDA user now. If you are getting into heavy vaping id suggest getting an RDA/RTA, much more enjoyable experience other than the slight 'inconvenience' of the learning process, you just arent going to get what you want out of full time clearomizers.

16$ cheap for a no frills easy rebuildable atomizer with a simple yet fully customizable airflow option. I have 6 atomizers right now and I use that one on a daily basis just due to how easy it is to build on and how simple and neat it looks.

I also just recently got a S.O.D 5K for my flavor atomizer and I prefer it over the Magma. Magma has deck airholes which can be annoying due to leakage/condensation. the S.O.D 5k is also extremely easy to build on as it has a big nut in the middle, real easy for dual coil flavor builds. I think originvape has the copper S.O.D 5k clones for only $10 as well so you can get two real nice RDA's for only 26$.

I have one clearomizer that I can use to vape my high VG juice. It is this one:Smoktech Micro GDC Clearomizer Tank | House of Vape
(I have never used this vendor, I just picked the first link off Google that showed a good picture of the tank)

It has adjustable juice ports on the coil. With the juice ports all the way open, and the airflow on the smallest hole, I could vape my high VG juice for about a week on a coil. Never at much higher wattage than 10w, but decent flavor and overall I felt the tank was better built than my Nautilus or my Aerotank. Harder to clean, but much more durable.

When I started vaping I said I wasn't interested at all in rebuilding…seemed like too much tinkering. But I really feel like the better flavor quality and better vapor quality and higher wattage range that you get from rbas is worth it. I think that once you experience it, you'll be spoiled for stock coils. Especially if you like high VG juices. Right now I'm running 80%VG 20%PG juice in my eGrip with the rebuildable coil at 20w without a single dry hit or burnt nasty taste. Plus, it's nice to be able to wick with your own organic cotton and know exactly what you're using, instead of vaping mystery wicking substance from China. Rebuilding is not hard…if I can do it, anyone can. Off to the YouTubes with you!

I vape high VG juice pretty much all the time - love 70/30, but often find myself at max vg (whoops, how did that get in there...:2cool:). And I do this on a tank setup. I, too, have found that the Aerotank doesn't like thick juice with high voltage, so I tend to leave it parked at ~3.8V when I'm using it. But these days I'm tanking with a Nautilus Mini, and it wicks the juice reasonably well... typically running at 12-15W (~5ish V), no burnt taste. The coils don't last nearly as long as they should, but if I swap them once a week it keeps the taste pretty fresh. Sometimes they need to be swapped even sooner than that... but I figure a few bucks a week in a coil budget isn't too unmanageable of an expense for the juice I love with the convenience I demand...
