Got my order the other day and finally cleaned some attys so I could try my new juices. So far, I've only tried the Kona Coffee Milkshake, which I'm vaping now. All I have to say is...WOW!!!!! This is so good; it's absolutely my favorite coffee vape! I'm not sure how I'm going to make myself try the other flavors because I can't stop vaping this. I'm very impressed with the excellent service, speed of shipping, and quality of this juice. The sample bottle I ordered isn't going to last long, so I will definitely be placing another order!!!!

Well, just placed another order, as I realized when I got home today that I am almost out off my Kona! Thankfully I know Annette ships out fast, and this time I ordered the large size of the Kona, plus a few other large ones. :)

I can't thank you enough Annette for making a great VG e-liquid with so many great flavors!!!!

I'm dying to place another order! Any word on a pomegranate? ;) I'll probably end up ordering anyways, lol.

Hi Stillalive! I did get a pomegranate in but wasn't particularly happy with it. I was letting it sit for a bit to try again, but I'm still not sure it's up to snuff. I'll send you a sample with your next order and you can tell me what you think of it.

Hey, is there any sort of "VG vaper's guide" out there anywhere? I've noticed that anything I run VG through tends to get seriously gunked up, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about things.

Thought I'd figured out a scheme, which was to just dedicate a refillable clearomizer to a particular flavor (yeah, it's Kona Coffee Milkshake --big surprise there, eh?), but wow, that's already giving me trouble. I'd read that it's a good idea to refill 'em when they get about half empty, so I've topped it off twice now, and everything's so gooey and hard that I'm not getting much vapor (although I've just now discovered that if I move the clearo over onto my PT, the extra voltage seems to make up for it and puts me back to "normal," non-gunked vapor levels).

So yeah, I definitely need to learn some tips-n-tricks for VG vaping, if there's anything like that online. The clearo idea won't work much longer, and I can't keep using those (too expensive for just two or three fills apiece), and unlike most I absolutely don't like dripping, so I may actually end up having to stick with good, old-fashioned carts and just cleaning the attys a lot, unless someone's got a better idea.

Oh, on a somewhat related topic, have you ever heard of anyone being allergic to VG? Kinda backwards, I know, but now that I've been vaping the KCM regularly, with a bit of my other PG liquids being vaped here and there in-between, darned if I don't have a perpetual sore throat that feels like it's constricted. Not sure what to make of it.

I've been seriously struggling with the same thing. Cartomizers, atomizers, tanks... they all get gunked up really quickly. Sometimes I don't even get more than 4 hours before it's clogged. Atomizers can be resurrected a bit with a vodka/everclear soak followed by a careful dry burn but they seem to clog up faster than they did when new.

Adding some distilled water or vodka/everclear to the juice helps (10%-20% tops). Other than that, I'm still on a quest (which is getting more expensive by the day). :(

Try lowering you nic levels. I had a sore throat that kept getting worse over the course of 2 months. I went from 18mg to 6mg and my throat is feeling much, much better.

I have heard that some people do react to VG, but I would first try lowering your nic level and also ask Annette to thin your mix when you order and that will help you with the other problem. She thins all my orders and I have no problems with gunking at all! I even use an Ego-T and if a juice is too thick it will not wick at all. Annette's juices wick great the way she makes them for me, so give that a try. Also, make sure you are drinking LOTS of water, which should also help with the sore throat.

Maybe I'll give the "thinning the mix/extra flavor to compensate" angle a shot, but that would still only be a patch, for lack of a better term. It would probably still be wise to learn the ins-and-outs of vaping VG "properly," and how to take care of the gear, since VG fairly well demands extra care and attention. (After all, in theory, this should be a situation we all have to deal with, not just me.) Nevertheless, the suggested short-cut around the extra maintenance would likely do the trick until I've worked up the patience to cram more edumacation into my noggin. ;)

As for nic levels, I dunno... the problem seems to have begun after I started using VG liquid a lot (I blame Annette; it's all her fault). Either that or it simply took a little longer for the effects to become noticeable after I switched to vaping and gave up my beloved cigars. I'll hopefully notice a change here after a bit. I've pretty much decided that, for the most part, I'm going to order most of my favorite eliquids @ 0-nic from now on, and supplement them by keeping a few things around that have nic in them. I'll vape the former for pleasure, and take periodic hits of the latter to curb the nic cravings. And then I'll begin lowering the levels of those from time to time, eventually ditching nic altogether. (I'd intended to start vaping at 24mg, but accidentally stocked up on 18, and discovered that was just fine. Pretty sure I can go to 12 easily enough, and after a few months drop that to 6, and a few months after that 0.)

And yeah, since I became diabetic, I'm supposed to be drinking lots of water, so got that one covered. :)


EDIT: Oh, almost forgot. I spotted "Graham Cracker" eliquid the other day on some vaping site. Can't remember which one off-hand, but the important thing is that it tells me there's a flavoring agent out there to be had. In other words, it's definitely possible to give traditional Cheesecake w/ Graham Cracker crust eliquid a trial run sometime. :)

I started out at 18 mg and am now down to only using the 5/6 mg and 0 mg. I have been vaping only VG e-liquids for 10 months now, as I get a very bad reaction to PG, but have never liked any of the thick VG's. I did quite a bit of research on the VG and the answers always seem to be clean everything often and thin your VG with distilled water or everclear. Not into adding a lot of alcohol to my liquids, so I have always stuck to the water for thinning. As long as extra flavor is added, you shouldn't even notice the difference, If you learn more tho, please share! :)
