the real differance between all vg ang 50/50 pluss e juice

[rogergendron1]

Yup i have been dripping since tea bag cartos and cisco spec attys were all you could get and tobaco juice taste like penut oil , i used yo make dripper attys from smok tech single coil cartos .... lol

And from my experiance i can say this ...

There are a lot of 100% vg juices or close to 100% out there and a lot of mostly pg juice out there to ....

Now i am a dripper ,its all i do, and i use bolth types becuase there are brands and flavors i like bolth ways.

Right now i am useing a smpl mech and little boy rda with a single .5 ohm coil that is my basic vape ... i have been running a single .5-.8 ohm coil since i got my first rda years ago.

Now i have been useing 2 differant brand and type juices back and forth on the same coil after a clean and cotton change... the coil stays the same ... the juices are

MBV GWAR BLOOD BATH witch is 70% or more pg
And
NATUR CREME witch is 100% natural vg except for the flavorings added they have minute amounts of pg

And when i use the gwar juice the coil stays spotlessly clean for 2 days and will slowly get gunked starting day 3 and need a cotton swap on da 4... but even on day 4 the vape is still tollerable and flavor is still there

With natur vg based juice .... the flavor comes through a little less, its more of a smooth flavor than a stand out flavor compared to pg juice but i get gobs of more clouds from it and the taste itself is unreal, the problem is the natural vg base itself i have found gunks up coils in a matter of HOURS !!!

I mean litteraly hours... i build a coil at 5am and by lunch lol its alreadyy starting to gunk and change color! This means the flavor will deminish verry shortly and i need to swap cotton !

Does this happen to anyone else ?
Do you guys find you need to swap the cotton in your wicks litteraly every day or more with an organic/natural vg juice
Do you find that pg based juice keeps your wick clean for days ?

How often do you change wicks when useing vg and how often do you swap wicks with pg ?

I change my cotton everyday for dripper while a week or a 5 day for tanks bcoz I only use tanks at work.

For mechs I normally would do 0.3 - 0.5 on tanks & 0.15 - 0.3 on my drippers, for some juices contains high sweetener that usually gunk the coils IMO. At this rate the juices will cleanly vaporized.

 

[rogergendron1]

So you believe that its the sweeteners that gunk the coil so fast and not the vg itself ....

 

[rogergendron1]

You see most of the vg only or vg base juice i use create a small amout of blackish carbon around the coil wire itself in a matter of hours or at least by the end of the day.

Yet the all pg or around 70% pg will not do this ... even after 4 days !!!!! It just slowly changes the color of the wick darker and darker but the coil itself stays clean

Another thing with the pG juice is that I can continue vaping even after the battery dies and drops too low voltage the PG liquid will still continue to vape

When I am using the VG e liquid I constantly need to switch out to a new battery because when the voltage drops the juice will gunk up even faster and vapor production drops rapidly

I vape various kinds of eliquids, so my coils are to fit all kinds. High PG or VG should not be a problem. If you gunk ur coils faster than usual... You minght have to adjust ur coils or recoil it again.

 

[Mazinny]

have you considered the possibility that the issue is not the pg/vg ratio but natural vs. artificial flavors ? Sweeteners for sure and Natural tobacco extracts ( from personal experience ) gunk up your coils really fast. So there is a possibility that natural flavors ( which are derived from plants and fruits for the most part ) would act in the same way as NETs. Just thinking out loud.

 

[Fr3ker]

Yupp, no doubts that some flavors do gunk up coils really fast.
In other cases from my side sometimes I just had readjust my coils over again if it's gone gunky way faster than usual.
I only use higher VGs on my RDAs & lower on my RBAs. That way gunky coils are lets say very common, a few dry burns & its good again.

On other hand, you might be right tho. VG does gunk coil faster than PG. I don't often have gunky issues on the RBA... :silly:
