Suggested SI products for VG juice

[big_onion]

I'm still fairly new to vaping (despite a brief foray into it back in '08 was it was newish and horrible) and over the past month have discovered through trial and error a sensitivity to PG. I tried all different combinations of PG/VG blends, and finally found some comfort in the 70% VG/30% distilled water blends that Mt. Baker Vapor sells. I also really like Smokeless Image's hardware -- I like the style, the simplicity, and getting everything from one hardware vendor makes a lot of sense to me.

However, I am having trouble making this work, I think. I have an auto battery and a manual battery. I reused the cartos that came with it (after running some other juices through the old flavors were gone) and then bought some CE3s. (I also bought a 808-510 adapter and have some Boge XXL cartos from MBV, for the record.) I'm finding myself constantly tinkering, though. To get the juices to soak down in the cartos I need to use a pin or needle to kind of make some space between the carto wall and the polyfill. The CE3s are a constant struggle ... if they're not leaking, they're not wicking well enough and end up burning. I've been contemplating diluting with some more distilled water, but I'm hesitant to make it thinner to risk losing some flavor (although I do order it with extra flavor shots).

So ... what SI products could I possibly obtain that could make this all work smoothly? Do the T3s handle VG well? Would having the option of altering the voltage on something like a Spinner battery benefit at all (I noticed a drop in flavor going to the VG juice)?

I don't want to spend a fortune, but I am willing to spend enough if it means I'm not spending a bunch of time tinkering. I want to juice up and go, and right now I feel I'm wasting a lot of time and tissues (gotta clean it up, ya know).

Thanks!

EDIT: As a side note, I'd really like to find something that will work with my current batteries. I vape at work, and the smaller cigarette-style doesn't look like I'm over here huffing on the tailpipe of a car. I don't think there are many options besides the regular cartos and the CE3s, but I figured I'd ask and see what others might be doing.

The nicquid line is 60 pg 40 vg. That is sold by SI and may work better for you. As far as the cig style you can try out the nano clearomizers. They work well with the cig style batts and they are easy to fill. Some say they lack in flavor, but I haven't had a problem.

I have the mudslide 70% vg 30% water, I have tried CE3's and have the same issues. I have tried the T3's but I get airy draws with little flavor.

I have yet to try the X2 clearomizers.

I also tried the esmart clearomizers and I do not recommend them it would not feed my thicker mudslide and I had trouble feeding a thick liquid that was 80% pg and 20% vg.

I was a little discouraged myself so I took a chance and bought 10 of the nano clearomizers for the bulk discount(A couple months back I put 1 through a trial run for a thinner liquid and enjoyed it). I put my mudslide into one of my nano's and took a couple of vapes and it did not taste good. I was disappointed so I put it down and moved on to other flavors. Hours later I picked it up again, reluctantly tried it and there it was my mudslide goodness! I have to say finally I have found a good clearomizer that feeds my mudslide good. I have been using it on a rotation for the last 2 days and I am on my 3rd refill so far so good.

Now I follow the directions on the smokeless image website which states:THE CAP MUST BE SCREWED ON WITHIN 40-60 SECONDS OF BEING FILLED TO AVOID LEAKAGE. So far I have had no leakage from the 4 I have on rotation but I have seen from other forum posts that you can get a bad one and have leakage.

Remember this post my opinion and you might not have the same experience so you might want to buy only one to try it out, but I find the nano to have slightly less flavor and warmth than the CE3 but I would still rate it at very good for both.

I'll give it a go. The regular cartos work well enough, so I might order some blank ones and throw in a couple of these, as well. I noticed with the CE3s that when I first filled them and tried to use them it was awful -- after sitting overnight they worked great. As long as I keep them topped off they work great (if they don't leak), but if I clean one out and put a new juice in there I need to prime it (plug the bottom and take a couple puffs) then let it sit for some hours.

I'll try the nano clearos, though. Thanks for the recommendation! I completely forgot they worked on the cigalike batteries.
