Juice for Tanks and Drippers?

I drip whatever ejuice I want with my RDA tanks. That being said I used to order an almost 100% VG juice from Virgin Vapors. Kona Velvet Milkshake. I would put in the notes to thin it a little to make it carto friendly. Some juices would be a little harder to use my carto tanks with. I don't really use carto tanks or clearomizers now. I prefer kayfuns. Hope that helps.
Well, it's not exactly that any juices are tailored to a particular delivery method, but it is true that different consistencies of juice tend to work better in certain delivery methods.
Thinner juices typically work better in clearomizer type devices than thick juices, cartomizers can handle a pretty wide variety of juice consistencies, dripping can be done with ANY juice consistency . . . it's how the juice is delivered to the coil that makes a certain consistency best for it
All e-liquids are a blend of Propylene Glycol and Glycerine (PG and VG). PG is much thinner in consistency than VG, so the ratio between these two will determine how thick or thin the juice is. Juice with a high VG content can be thinned out to work better in certain toppers when necessary by diluting with a few drops of distilled water

Thanks for the detail information. If I were to use the tank method and the tank is Pyrex, would I be able to use any juice?
I look at tank juice as 50/50 blend, so that it won't cause too many dry hits. I see dripper juice as the 30/70 juice with more vg and dropper for dripping. Also most dripper juice to me is the high end juices.
Pyrex is supposed to be impervious to all liquids, so any juices are fine in pyrex
I don't drip or use RBA/RDA's yet. Both my son's do and seems like they use a lower nic when dripping as they got such a huge amount of vapor.
there has been an increase of specific juices made for dripperz... it is normally a higher VG content ( 80+%) and a low nic level ( 0 - 6)
Drip Tonics is one such maker of dripping juice.
As far as juice for tanks anything goes.... higher PG juices are thinner in viscosity which can either lead to gurgling issues or better wicking capacity ( the jury is still out on this theory)
I use 100 VG juices and have no problem with gurgling or wicking.

It depends of what you want..
PG will give you more flavor and throat hit also is thinner.
VG will give you more vapor and is more thicker than PG.
For tanks I recommend 50/50 blend so wicks easier and faster. If you use more VG it will be harder to wick and give you more dry hit (burnt taste).

For a tank you want nothing higher than say 70/30 vg/pg. I like 60/40 for my tanks. For drippers you want High VG or all vg if possible. Just remember that high VG juice mutes flavors some so if you can order it flavor boosted you may want to do that.
Thank you for this explanation! I seem to be sensitive to PG, so I have all VG juices, and one of them tastes burnt if I take more than 2 drags in succession out of my pyrex clearo, even at minimal voltage. This makes mores sense. Maybe if I thin it a little with distilled water, as suggested above, that might help?
I have some 6mg for experiments in dripping. I usually do 12mg in tanks, but find that's too much for dripping. I rarely drip though, don't really have a great setup...so my 6mg is just aging and aging. I'll get there someday.
