I really can't say that I believe 1 drop per 30 ml of super sweet is gonna murder my coils, but that's usually about all I need. I can go more than a week without rewicking on many of my vapes but I also use rayon.
As far as drop in coils I get excellent longevity. I do also like vape a few one shots that are crazy super sweet and I don't know what's being used, but it doesn't CRAZILY change anything.
I personally think chain vaping is much harder on coils, I vape at low wattage and that is my justification for having way too many setups going at once. But, I do get good coil life.
Keep in mind, sweetener is not the ONLY factor involved and no it shouldn't like wreak total havoc on your coils.
Yoga! Complete! Yay! Soon dinner comes. The husband made it to Tucson and back safely. I was worried because it has been POURING here all day. I even remembered to get the dog and put him in his "storm safety cage inside." That dog loathes storms.

@FranC actually I CAN worry about them moving too fast. Because even if I slow the process down three days, they could resume fast tracking which I am QUITE sure they will. Depending on what I can negotiate may involve me driving to WV all alone and.... staying somewhere while the husband packs up. I really don't feel up for that yet, and I'm still coughing. I am hoping all that doesn't happen because I am GENUINELY not feeling 100% and depending on what we can negotiate in the meantime, I don't want to take off for a new job alone, still exhausted and etc. I have been sick for 2 months and I am still coughing. So yes, I can worry about it.
Really, early August would be the best realistic situation. Oh and we still have to sell the house.

Well the thing about sweetener is I know how my mixes work without it which is why I'm focusing on that one aspect.
My ADV doesn't gunk coils and can go weeks without a rewick, rayon is all I've used for at least the last four years so I have no idea about cotton except in the few premade coils I vape and they last forever too. But I have some premade liquids that will destroy a coil in as little 6 ml, this is what I'm trying to avoid.
I wonder what type of sweetener is in cuttwood unicorn milk? I have no problem with it negatively affecting coils but most premade liquids I've vaped are extra rough on them.
I will try cap super sweet, thanks for the suggestion.

Well hopefully all the paperwork will slow down their fast tracking. When all their stuff is done then you can negotiate for all the time you can get.
I only use sweetener in one recipe, ginger ale. Originally I didn't use sweetener but tried it one time and liked it. It was a coil gunker before I started adding sweetener and I didn't notice if it got worse.
That's TFA sweetener.
The worst gunker I have is Lotta Latte which is an OSDIY one shot so I have no idea if it contains sweetener. It doesn't taste sweet.
Maybe flavor manufacturers add sweetener to some flavorings.
I know I've read a bunch about sweetener on ECF. Long discussions, including which chemicals the different sweeteners contain. Don't know where they are though.
Maybe you could do some useful research for us. Since you have a good handle on how long your juices take to mess up a coil you could add a little and see whether it makes a difference. I couldn't really do that, I change all my wicks after 2 weeks regardless of what juice is in the tanks or how much I've used them.
My wicks and coils don’t get changed often. I go through about 3ml a day but have 10-12 different set ups going at a time. I would think you could get at least a week if you used .5% super sweet.
Maybe I shouldn't say this... but don't even trip on cholesterol (honestly, I don't have time to explain it all but it's mostly BS)
I actually meant to mention something else (but forgot who posted about digestive issues) Have you ever had issues with lactose intolerance? I never had a problem until I was 40... now I'm almost 60 and lactose can really mess me up (and it's in many things... hidden in the ingredients list) I am feeling fine now (and so is mom)... really think we had a mild case of the Noro Virus (people call it the "stomach flu") it's actually very common.
I use FLV Sweetness , picked after reading a long discussion on sweeteners on “another forum”. I occasionally use 1-3 drops in 30ml. Doesn’t seem to gunk up coils, but that may be because I use so little.
I have to agree with Anna... sometimes your vaping style is more important (but I have had a few juices that gunk coils... coffee, chocolate and really sweet ones) Keep your vapes short and pause between vapes (and have enough air-flow to keep the coil cool) That can be more important sometimes. Maybe lower the wattage too.
Have never used sweeteners but did do some research and that's the one I would try (good point about having to use such a small amount... FLV is expensive but if you do the math they really aren't because they are so strong)
Someone recently posted (on this thread) flavors that are good for adding sweetness without messing with the flavors much (I may have saved it... will post if I can find it) Stuff like meringue and marshmallow... very useful.
I think xylitol is supposed to be easy on coils. Rick's Sugar Daddy is, I'm pretty sure, half xylitol and half sucralose.
I wouldn't worry so much about cholesterol as we have been raised to believe...for someone elses profit.
Think of cholesterol as a fireman,, his job is to put out fires,,, your body makes it,, you eat it.. it travels all through your body as a mobile band-aid,, making repairs,,,, we dont blame firemen for fires just because they are there. This was the brain child of processed food companies,,, with the pharma industry snickering,, oh hell yeah! --->>>>>future PROFITS from anyone dumb enough to give up a natural diet.---->>that would be all of us,, until some started wondering why we didn't have these problems in our grandparents day.
Where does cholesterol go at the end of the journey?- to your fatty brain so it dont shrink leading to Alzheimer's, dementia, brain health restore.
Salt, potassium,, magnesium are also needed for your heart & brain--- pocket battery charger,, take salt away & high blood pressure skyrocketed,, here have a sodium based pill.
Salt is very interesting its flavor is designed by nature to make us want it,,, and when we have all we need it is too salty to enjoy,, potassium is a substitute,,, but you really need a tiny bit,,, to make sure only get a tiny bit,, the flavor is similar to salt,, yet very sharp----stopping us from eating too much. (No/Nu salt at the grocery store is raw potassium) your kidneys monitor your chemical balance,, kidneys are not shy ,, they will very quickly toss out too much salt.
Go take 5 huge gulps of pickle juice,, dont make plans,, your body goes straight into salt eviction status,, and that usually includes clearing out the bowels -- quickly,, and no you wont trust a fart for a couple of days.
Do you have IBC? Cant poop? Did all that fiber get stuck in you? Imagine that,,, we don't put cut hair down the drain because its good for the drain. But if you put those natural fats back in your diet,,, bet that stuff moisturizes your intestines enough to process your food including those fiber filled salads! ( Salads have always been my preferred breakfast,, but I am trying to work out an allergy to fresh veggies). Magnesium does wonders for staying regular,, dont go overboard tho! Haha,,
Back to your cholesterol,, you have to figure out if you are consuming too much or not,, but i wouldn't worry too much about it unless you have something going on inside that is making your body call 911 for a lot of repairs. You can try a re-set fast routine,, see if you just needed a little processing holiday from foods..see how you feel.
O/t--- take a pizza wheel, and chop the daylights out of your salad,, to the size of rice,,, totally different more powerful flavors & will actually fill you up (use oil based dressing when possible)

Man so my supervisor from my last job emailed me back. She was all nice and stuff and said she told me she knew there was "awful stuff happening" and she got why I left and she was glad I was doing better, and she would be more than happy to provide me with a great reference and said nice things about me. She also said she wanted me to know the "negative and unfortunate atmosphere was much better."
So that was super nice, that was my last worry as far as well, the background check.
Usually people are like so much nicer than I think I deserve. I left that job because this hateful person on my team like uh, did something dreadful during team while the supervisor was away. I mean I am sure "she" the supervisor heard about it, but it just.... got to me I think.
Anyway. Almost to BED. I am exhausted totally.

Sorry I had to sleep, and I don't really have time right now.
For me my favorite recipes are coil gunkers, it is kind of hard to really point my finger at one flavor in these recipes. I think it is the total combination of the flavors that cause it. I have just faced the fact that with these, I have to change the wicks more often. You could just just less then what I use, like 0.25% of super sweet, or maybe just a couple of drops per 30 ML. 
KAS
That makes sense it's all the flavors combined since each flavor surely has some gunk factor, didn't think about it like that.Sorry I had to sleep, and I don't really have time right now.
KAS
Thanks for the information.
