Tried a little rum to thin my thick juice. Any others do that and advise pro or con? Gonna gum up my clearos or perhaps melt the plasctic?

I wouldn't worry about melting the plastic. Many people use grain alcohol or vodka in their DIY mixes without that problem.
But anything with sugars will gum up coils. You could give it a shot with a small amount added and see how it works with your setup.
Or you could use grain alcohol, vodka (they add a little throat hit), or distilled water (doesn't add throat hit), which will work just fine.

Thanks HeadInClouds, makes sense about the sugars though. |Bought some 24 mg nic. with minimal flavour, intending on getting some pg. and some flavor to experiment with recipes.. My daily use stuff is ok at 12 mg. so should be able to bring 24 down with pg. and flavor.
Appreciate your comeback. Thanks again.,

Actually even though I only put in enough to thin it, it diluted the flavor. Not giving up on it totally, as I'm intending on making some diy juices, so can adjust the flavor. So bottom line, thinning is one thing, but expect some flavor loss from premixed juices.
Yea, you are probably correct, twbonhead. Newbie here and gonna learn some from you guys and making my own mistakes too.
Thanks. Will try it. But doesn't it thicken back up when in the clearo?
You can use water, vodka, or even everclear to thin juices if you need to. Alcohol will add some bite and throat hit (the bite is not always a welcome sensation.....). But it takes very little to thin out a mixture enough to get it ti vape better. If you go more than 5-10% that is too much; you will most likely kill the flavor. You want to avoid adding any alcohol that has sugar in it (like Rum, but particularly cordials. They seem like a good idea, but aren't!!!).
Having said that, now I'm going to have to try a little single-malt in a vape (perhaps an RY4).
Sorry, I digress. If your liquid is too thick, one thing that often helps is to just take a couple of dry pulls (breathe in on the e-cig without pressing the button). This can pull in more liquid and get the wick/coil better moistened. Or try a different type of head.

I don't know, I never used clearos. I would nuke it to fill cartos faster and easier.
