Hello!

I've been vaping for about 2 months now and most of that time have been looking for that great tobacco e-liquid. I've read many posts from experienced vapors on this forum suggesting trying other flavors, however tobacco is what I like the most, even if lavored.

As far as the taste, I've found the one I like best - Tasty Vapor Tobacco. The problem I am having is this liquid's performance in my cartos (I am using Bloog Max Fusion). It starts strong, but around 1/3 to 1/2 of the way through the carto vapor greatly diminishes. Topping off does not fix this (I tried both adding a modest amount of liquid to dowsing the thing).

As near as I can tell something in this liquid (or the products of heating it up) plugs up the wick, eventually rendering the carto nonfunctional. Problem is that this happens too fast compared to other liquids I've used, most of which I can continue to top off for days (or possibly weeks).

So if I may, I'd like to ask the following two questions:

1. Is there some trick that I am missing, using the wrong hardware for this juice, or just expecting too much of it?

2. Is there another e-liquid out there that duplicates the taste of TV Tobacco but performs better?

Thanks!

You left out the most important part. What PG/VG are you ordering? I get quickly diminishing carto performance with any higher than 20% VG.

Also - juices with flavorings that leave sediment degrade my cartos more quickly. I am happiest using thin (20% VG or less) clear light-colored juices. Any more VG than that and the carto stuffing gets sort of gummed up too soon.

It's 20% VG.

However I did not find this correlation to be the rule. I have some Vaperite juices that are 50/50 that perform very well in these cartos, and some Alien Vision juices that are 90 to 100% VG which perform outstanding for days in the same carto with daily topping off.

I do agree on the flavorings/color being an indicator of how fast the carto will die though, and the TV Tobacco is pretty dark...

I guess the search continues!
