Hello, I'm a new user here. I've always come to this site when looking up questions about my ecig. Anyway, I have always bought max vg because I liked how you could get better clouds, yet now that I've reduced my nicotine level to 6mg, I keep finding that all my fluid burns quite easily, even on the lowest of voltage. I have an itaste mvp with a 5ml HyperTank. My wick is 2.4 ohms, and it'll still burn after a few hits on 3.4 volts. My fluid smells fine and delicious, and I've tried replacing the wicks, but I am starting to think it's just a consequence of max vg. Does anyone know?
VG fluid burning

I have, I'm currently ordering from mtbakervapor, but I used to get my fluid from azurevaping. I'll try one of the old fluid I have from there and see what happens. I'll update very soon.
Welcome didzdrummer to ECF. When I buy 100% VG from a vendor there is no fast e-liquid burning. I have now gone to DIY e-liquid and make it at 30PG/70VG with the same results.
Hopefully ordering from a different vendor will show better results. Keep us posted if a different vendor was better.
Good Luck to You.

I've replaced the wick twice. Originally it came with a 1.8 ohm wick and i switched to a 2.2 then to a 2.4, all with the same result.
Replacing the coil head will not fix a wicking issue. Is your juice super thick in viscosity....like maple syrup? Or is it super thin like water? If it is super thick, like most primarily VG mixes are - then a drop or 2 of distilled water will thin it so it can be absorbed by the wicks and not taste burnt
Also - did this issue start with this tank or did this specific liquid previously work well in it?
Yeah, I think your liquid may be too thick and your coil is burning your wick.Replacing the coil head will not fix a wicking issue. Is your juice super thick in viscosity....like maple syrup?

Being new, I am still in the 50/50 purchase category. But, thanks for the post and responses.

When i first got this tank it was working fine, but after about a week it started burning. Right now I'm trying some old fluid, from a different vendor, and I'm not getting a burning taste, but I'm not getting all the vapor I'm used to. Also this same thing happened in my vivi nova. So I think you guys are correct, I think its just too thick. I just ordered some 50/50 fluid. Do you think this will still give me the clouds I'm looking for?
I think a) your coils are gunked up, and need to be dry burned, and probably also b) your juice is too thick for the coil to wick properly! Just add a couple of drops of distilled water or vodka to the tank and it should wick better.
You may not get the clouds of vapor you want with the extra pg but you will get more TH and more flavor! Its kind of a give and take thing
A standard issue manufactured coil wick cannot wick fast enough to move the VG to keep up. For example - in a standard protank coil I could use max 60% VG without having a flow problem. VG is thick, therefore to move the same amount as a less viscous juice you need more flow volume.
UPDATE
I just tried doing a dry burn on my wick for the first time, and with much success I cannot taste anymore burning. I don't know how long this will last, if I keep using vg, so how much distilled water should I add to my fluid? I have a syringe so I can do exact measurements. Thanks so much everyone!

I use 1oo% VG but I thin it down a bit to help it vape better 1/2 ml to ten ml's
This works great for my Vg
I DIY that's the only way to really know what's in your juice .

how do you thin it down??? I know I can add distilled water to my fluid but I'm not sure how much to use. Its all 0 nicotine max vg fluid from mtbakervapor.
