Cat that is an interesting statement.....why do you think thicker juice makes you go through more coils???
The battery is 650 mah.....it's the Goldilocks size....not too small...not too big...LOL
It's not what I think, it's was something that I accidently discovered. Bought a 30ml bottle of Relax Pina Colada from Vapor Beast some months back, it was a 70/30 PG/VG blend & went through the entire bottle w/out changing, or even cleaning the coil, though I did have to change the flavor wick a couple of times, as it was getting hard to draw, but no scorch, nor color change of the e-juice. By chance, am having the very same luck today with Mt Baker's Extreme Ice, am on my 2nd 30ml bottle, at 65/35 PG/VG, on the original coil & haven't even changed the flavor wick.
I told my distributor about it (the Vapor Beast product), as at the time, all of my other e-juices were 50/50 & all coils were from the same packages. He told he that he had other customers who stated the same & many switched over to 65/35 or 70/30 PG/VG blends for that reason alone. And except for that one coil that shipped with the SmokeStik beta, I've never had a coil last longer than a week to 10 days max with 50/50 blends (I stated this in my earlier postings). The one provided with the SmokeStik, after close to 3 weeks, began to get a scorched taste, so I decided to change the flavor wick. Maybe I was wiggling too hard, but the one side of the coil broke & that was that.
Anyway, over time, I began to switch all of my e-juices to a minimum of 65/35 PG/VG (70/30 preferred), and guess what? My coils began to last much longer, in fact have only replaced 3 since changing to these ratios, and one of those was because I wasn't paying attention & mixed two e-juices together that clashed badly (how did I manage to mix clear Extreme Ice with very dark 11O'clock Coffee?). Fortunately, it happened in only one tank before I caught it.
The brand of coils didn't matter, I was using primarily KangerTech (those in the black boxes), and the "Kanger" ones in the white boxes for my two 2.4ml Kanger tanks (the others doesn't fit, base doesn't go all the way in). At any rate, I have only two bottles of 50/50 left & these are the ones I'm still replacing coils with.
So there must be something about the higher PG ratio e-juices that's giving the coils more lifespan. From November when I began vaping through late May, I was buying 5 packs of colis 2 times monthly & that was with burning them off. From June to date, 2 boxes total.
With the three different suppliers I'm using now, this can't be a fluke. On the other end of the pole, my distributor prefers it the other way around, 80/20 VG/PG (sometimes max VG) & takes a couple of hours on Saturdays to rebuild all of the coils he's spent. But whatever he's vaping, wow, it produces massive clouds, normally is using a mod with a kick or a REO clone he made himself. His regular occupation is laying hardwood floors, so he has quality scraps to make & sell these in the months the flooring is slow for $100 each, all on backorder. I would like one, but he's told me, that at least 30 are in front of me, with luck maybe late February.
There has been other members at ECF reporting longer coil life with higher PG ratios. Some feels that 50/50 is too thick for whatever their device is, others likes the sweetness that the higher PG gives. I notice it brings out the flavor better, w/out much color change. For whatever reason, the darker blends, such as coffee/vanilla, will get darker, if for no other reason, steeping, These, I have to change flavor wicks weekly to keep them flowing good.
And to make it more amazing, I've been vaping more in the last 2-3 months than prior, because I've found lower cost, but still high quality e-juices. I can say with certainty that I'm now vaping more than I smoked, at the brink of chain vaping.
However I do appreciate the opportunity to discuss this with you, who knows, maybe others will try a higher PG blend & get the same results, or current users of these blends may possibly even vouch for it in this topic.
And Thanks for the Fast Shipping! Got the updated status email today, the package should be here by Monday, can't wait to get another genuine coil in this great tank & my original starter kit battery is waning to it's last days. The timing is perfect!
