Morning MVS!!! 
Ohh ya, I just mentioned trying more VG to see what it was about, since you and I had been chatting up the 100%VG so much
Other than that I haven't really thought much about it, I'm cool with 50/50 or even 75PG too, so not a big deal either way to me. But ya, I do want to try high VG sometime just to test. I'll have to get some dif Nic though before I can.
You may be onto something with the cotton, but only a little bit maybe. I have used silica and same juices in same devices, and after a few weeks there is a little bit of gunk on the sliica it looks like, but I can't be sure if that's not just toasted silica It doesn't get "gunked" up so to speak though, I mean no issues and no problems for weeks, just know it from changing silica every so often. So what I'm thinking of my be char more than gunk, but ya Cotton does stay wetter so it looks super clean all the time, unless it gets gunked with a thick or dark flavoring, which I have done. I have a few darks that do it in a few days, and a clear that does it in less than a tank even. But my normal mixes at 50/50, no problems ever and coil is a clean weeks down the road as it is on day one.
Thanks for the heads up on twine! Sounds like there is good and bad then, guess I missed that! I had read about hemp, and someone here was going to send me some to play with sometime, just haven't gotten around to taking her up on that offer yet (Thanks Snus)
I just mentioned ebay for the Kanthal because of the available sizes and options, wasn't sure if MVS offered guage options and larger sizes.
I believe all AGA-'s have screw down threaded posts, at least all the ones I have and have ever seen. I need to get a new one I have the old version, but at least I have a IGO-L, I use that most often, and I have a a DID clone from MVS to use too (Thanks aasupplyny!)
So not 100% sure cotton will help for your issue, but it might, and I'm sure even a little bit would be better for you so it's definitely worth trying to find out. IN the meantime, I'd get some new VG and see if that helps too.
Gonna PM jj right now, and see if she'll come post about that P&G sample!
Sucks big time!
Ya, I mentioned that to him as well, but he's using unflavored so it can't be that. Has to be the VG, or maybe the 151 rum he's cutting with but I doubted that so didn't even really consider
Funny, Aurora,
You're thinking about more VG, and from what yer saying, I may need to use Less, and add some PG.But now that I think about it, I'm thinking that your luck is more due to the fact that you use Cotton, which is so much more Absorbent. I'm still stuck with the original Silica Wicks that come with the Vivi Nova. Not all Originals, of course, as I bought a bunch of Spares, but still Silica Wicks. I can only vape down to about 1/2 tank in the Vivi Nova before I have to refill it... it gets dry and kinds burnt tasting, so I'm thinking that a move to Cotton may help a lot. I may still have to Thin some, with alc or PG, or even Distilled Water, but maybe it's not a Purity issue of the VG after all.
Twines are very highly recommended in Safe vs Dangerous, and long as you get one that's nothing but natural fibers - absolutely nothing added. You, yourself, also have to be careful to get Pure Cotton in your Rounds as well. I'm aware of the Wash and Clean needs for cotton, or any natural fiber, but just to illustrate the popularity of Twine, the Supreme E-Cig Wizard BJ43 started this thread... http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/atomizer-mods/378875-just-hemp-16.html#post8576644, about Hemp Twine. People use Cotton Candle Wick, Gauze, Rounds, Batten, and several other Cotton Forms, and even Bamboo Twine (though it has an initial Bad Taste that has to be dealt with). This Peaches and Cream is tried and true, for a long time now. It was easy to find, so I bought it.
I may have to go to eBay, or something like that, for the Kanthal, but I was just hoping to get as much as possible from one supplier, or Locally (which ain't hapnen). While I do care about Price, I'm also looking for Convenience. MVS has one of the longest Warranty periods for the eVic I've seen, at 30 days on the eVic, so I'll wait a little longer to see if they also have #500 SS Mesh, and some other things I'd like. I'd love to have the Kanthal tomorrow, but I've waited this long.
I'm aware that the AGA-T is Heavy, and it's also quite Tall, but it has great reviews, and I've seen many YouTube Videos that show how easy it is to work with, so I'd like to get one. Haven't looked to see if the MVS one has Screw Posts or Silver Wrap Terminals. Would much prefer Screw Posts, I think, for Durability. I do get the Dropsies sometimes, and would hate to lose one of the tiny Nuts, so I'd just have to be careful. The Silver Wrap Terminals seem Fragile, and can Break Off... not something I'd want to deal with.
Thanks for the note about VG Gunk. Can't wait to get to Cotton. Maybe that's all I need.
