Is it the TPA Vanilla (Bourbon) that's the problem here?

[shiddyshad]

Just trying to figure out if this flavoring is the cause of my problems. I liked to add the Vanilla (Bourbon) flavoring to my RY4 (Double) mixture and noticed by the third or so tank in my Aqua the flavor deteriorated, wicking seemed poorer, and upon closer inspection of the coils there appeared to be a bunch of gunk building up all over them. Have other people experienced this when using the Vanilla Bourbon? Other ingredients in my RY4 mixture are the RY4 (Double) of course, a little bit of TPA M-Type, and a little bit of the sucralose based sweetener from TPA. Could it be something else? My money is on the Vanilla but I would appreciate some additional input. Thanks.

My tfa vanilla bourbon is very dark, so the colors added could do it. Is the sucralose dissolved enough? If any crystals still persist, that could be a factor.

Dark and sweet flavors are usually the the problem.

Yes. I have experience with this particular flavor and it is an extreme coil gunker. I used to use it at 2.5%, then went down to 1% to reduce coil gunk, but it's still gunky even at that level. I put up with it as I don't mind changing coils every day for this recipe, but if you want a cleaner vape, ditch it for a different vanilla flavor like Vanillin 10% solution mixed at 1-2%.

FlavourArt has a Vanilla Bourbon that's lighter, doesn't clog coils, and I find it takes less...if you want a cleaner-vaping vanilla.
