I think I'm having issues with PG (either that or celiac - I'll spare you the details).

I have a few liquids I purchased a while back from Virgin Vapor, but they don't work very will in my Joytech e-mini or my clearomizer/510 battery setup. I'd like to try vaping VG exclusively to see if that solves the problem, but it doesn't seem to work in the devices I'm using. I get a weird burnt taste in my clearomizer and nothing from my cigalike joytech device.

If anyone has any suggestions for what devices 100% VG juices work in, I'd appreciate it.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!!

VG is thick and takes longer to wick in a topcoil.
You can dilute with distilled water.

Vg can be cut with water if you have wicking problems. I would start at 5% you can go as high as 15 maybe 20. You may find 10% to be good if thier pen style 510s. But preferably get an atty that can handle 5% dilution or less is best.

A cartomizer or carto tank can work well with an ego or mod.. Or the bottom coil clearos. Kanger or aspire. But a dripper is a good option too.

What clearomizer exactly?

I use Virgin Vapor in my kanger protank minis and it works okay (works better if you remove the extra wicking). I can throw that on an ego battery if I'm on the go without any issues. Virgin Vapor already thins out their liquids to make them more compatible. They work in most bottom fed tanks I've used. Sometimes I have to tinker with it to make it work though.

The key to Kanger and high VG is cotton wicking. Velvet Cloud Vapor will not wick properly without doing this. Just got my order from The Vape Kitchen and her VG is even thicker. If it still doesn't flow well then you need to make the cotton a little more airy or puffy. I've got a ton of Protank Mini 2s filled with 100% VG doing this and it works great. Also works in dual coil although it's a much bigger pain to rewick. Make sure to wet cotton before installing chimney, give it a few primer puffs, and look for an air bubble to come up.

I don't know. I've been vaping Velvet Cloud in my EVODs, with flavor wicks, and find it neither particularly thick or at all problematic. I guess YMMV.

As an additional note, despite all the talk about 100% VG not being good with flavor, I have tried about 5 VC flavors at this point and find them all ranging from strong to very strong. And I'm one who normally vapes 50/50 and find many well reviewed gourmet juices to be a little (or a lot) on the weak flavored side.

I originally tried removing both flavor wicks and it was still burned hits and airlock city for me. It is worth the effort.

When you're having trouble with wicking and going less wick gives you flooding. Adding water is the easiest way to get it to wick. You can add drop by drop to your tank and mix it around. When it starts wicking good you can calculate th?7 e aproxmimate % of water based on you tank capacity., 1 drop / ml is about 3% depending.
