MY juices too sweet and burning out your coils too fast?

[adept1]

To me, the MY juices are too sweet, and they also burn out my coils too fast. There's a cheap and easy solution though.

I've started diluting the MY juices with straight PG. PG is less sweet than VG, and it's also thinner. A lot of the popular MY juices are using a 50/50 PG/VG ratio, so if you add the correct amount of PG, you can change the ratio to 70/30 or 80/20. This will cut the sweetness and prolong your coil life. I think they still have enough flavor even after diluting.

Bonus is you wind up with more juice too. Of course the nicotine level will diminish, so you might want to start off with something stronger than you usually use.

So far no leh, but dessert juice in general does a number on my organic cotton wicks at a faster rate. My coils (kanthal) stay the same. I just burn the rest off and dip em in a small dish of water after that.

I would never dilute e-Liquid with more PG because I enjoy High or MAX VG e-Liquids and I do not have problems with any coils or tanks I use it in. Just my personal experience but YMMV

I'm not sure if it's just because the MY juices are too sweet. I think it's the sweetener they use.
I vape US juices almost exclusively now because of the crappy experience with MY juices. I like dessert flavours and they're often very sweet too. But they don't gunk up the coils or oxidize as badly as the MY juices.

It sounds like they’re using real sugar in their juices which is a terrible idea. It turns to candy in the coils and messes everything up.

No. Way. Really? Can you actually use real sugar?

I don't think real sugar would be concentrated enough. I also prefer the US juices, but paying 2-3x more per bottle at black-market prices is painful.

It may be essential for manufacturers to add sweetener into their juices as it creates the “body” mouth feel in certain recipes.

However with the right mix you don’t need much sweeteners. Our neighbors on the other hand has been using too much of it.

Hey buddy...
Precisely! MY juices are non premium.
USA juices are.
I also vape exclusively USA Juices, but problem with ordering USA juices from MY is they only have 6mg nic USA juices.
I don't vape 6mg juices... Only 12 and above.
Dilemma, right?
Crappy MY 12mg juices or nice Premium 6mg USA juices.

Good premium USA juices i tried...

Cyclops Vapor
KILO
Cosmic Fog
Captivape
Charlie's chalk dust
RestoMod
Northern Lights (obscure, but frikkin good)

MY has Cuttwood and Five pawns (and also the first three above-mentioned).
But, all only 6mg.

Should be adding more VG, not PG.

More VG, not PG.

If 50VG/50PG... Hence, adding more PG equals eg. 40VG/60PG, or worse - 30VG/70PG. Not good.
