Attys just don't taste good to me....dripping is a complete PITA...and I never did win the fight with my bottom feeder. I want my carto flavor.
What juice does not gunk up your cartomizer?

OK, but the point wasn't really atties (although they are easier to clean) the point is DIY juice. So you know all the ingredients. Then find a formula that works. And save money.
If you ever take a dual coil cartomizer apart it's a small sheet of batting wrapped around the two coils. You just remove the plastic outershell like I described, and carefully unwrap the little sheet. I just hold it in my hand and run it under hot water. I then get a paper towel and dab it dry. I get a cup of hot water and dip the center coils into the cup. If you see gunk on the center coils (I don't but clean them almost every other time I fill them) get a tooth pick and scrape the gunk off. Then carefully roll the little sheet of batting around the coils and stick it back in the plastic shell.
It's dry within a couple minutes and I just fill it up and it's good as new.
I think you can only do this with clear dual coils.

I find blends such as 70PG and 30 VG clogg less. The straight VG blends are harder on Carto's and Atty's IMO.I find darker/ sweeter juices can play havoc on atty's/ Carto's. These juices seem to do better at Hi Volts, burns it off faster. I like RY4 blends and don't seem to have much trouble with them. I use Big oversize carto's with Tornado batts and am very happy.
I've darn near used all the major PV'S over tha last 2 plus years and the Tornado/ cartos work consistant for me.

The juice that hasn't even really affected my ECHO cart at all from day one is Vaporbomb's Bubble Gum. It's almost clear, a very slight pink tint to it. Running 80pg/20vg, 24mg nic. Been using this same cart and juice pretty solid for the last 2-3 weeks and the combination still works it did on day one. It's one I can count on for an interesting sweet flavor, loaded with decent TH and more vapor production than most in the juice arsenal here.
The juices that I've found work best in cartos are from Vapor Junction: Tampa, Texas, Phoenix and Frisco, all tobacco flavors, all in PG. I've gotten as many as 10 days out of a carto using these juices, and only changed it because it started to get an off taste.
I once bought a bottle of Frisco in VG but it was so thick I had to add 5% water and 5% ethanol to thin it down.
Halo Freedom, Smooth 8 and Torque 56 also worked well. They're also thin juices.
Tasty Vapor Tobacco is a clogger. I used to get less than a week out of an 801 atty before the draw become too tight and the vapor production fell off.

I been using a ce2 clearomizer cart for a few weeks now with some thickassed juice and it's soo easy to clean with a 5 sec dry burn every time I fill. Not batting for me anymore........
Honeyville has 39c 5ml bottles right now. I ordered 40+ for 20$ after shipping. A great way to try out some flavors.
Ms T's Mountain Pop. It lasts about 2 weeks in a 510 DC and 3 week in a regular ol' 808. I also like it cause when the carto gets old it doesn't taste like old feet. heh
My all day vape is Nicvape's Jr Mints Daddy and it is so because it not only taste great (to me anyways), but it is extremely easy on cartomizers. Somewhat surprising since Rich says it is 50/50 PG/VG and a rich flavor to boot. I can go longer on Jr Mints Daddy per carto than some of my crystal clear juices that are 70/30 like BWB Blueberry which I also love. Go figure.
That's what I'm looking for... specific juices. I'm going to try those because I'm tired of tossing cartos after a few fills. Thanks!
Keep um coming, folks!
If you want a specific juice, I vape nhalers nuport. It's PG and it only comes in 24 but he does have a doubler you could add to it and add some PGvg to drop the nic if you wanted to.
His juice tastes the same regardless of what I use- tank, cartos, dual coils. Taste never changes. For a PG it's not thin but not thick enough to gunk anything up.
Thanks swedishfish, I dont have the clear cartos but im going to try to clean one anyways since its basically junk otherwise.
i havent tried KBVs but i have tried Joogler Juices Honeysuckle and it is very good. also clear as water. they also have a $5 off coupon (ECF5OFF) that will get you a free bottle of their juice so you really have nothing to lose other than like $2 shipping.
BWB Backo, Cappucino, Vanilla Bean, Casablanca. I vape his Cafe Mocha night and day and admit I have to wash the carto every few days but it's worth it. It doesn't clog but I like it better with a clean carto. The Backo has been in the same carto for weeks (my other all day vape) and still tastes fresh!
BWB is really "clean"... very friendly on atties and carts... NOT the ejoker though... thats really tough on stuff
Alien Visions Boba's Bounty is a dark 100% VG juice that performs excellent in my bmf carto. 'Been topping it off daily for about a week now. Same goes for their Chai (90% VG).
Halo has already been mentioned, all of their juices work very well.
Generally, and quite unfortunately, I have found that tobacco juices with macerated tobacco will quickly ruin a carto.
I am glad to hear that BWB juices perform well in cartos as I have several on order.

I've found that BWB Malty Toffee, which is 30pg/70vg and on the dark side after steeping, is a clogging offender in Boge cartos, probably because it is a sugary based sweet vape.
OTOH, I do just fine with Awesome Vapor Turkish Blend (100%pg). It's kind of a Camel tobacco that is mild and tasty, but not too sweet. It's relatively clear and pale yellow after steeping. It's thin and soaks into the filler in a Boge carto within a couple of seconds after you load it with drops while held at a slant.
Clear and thin is the key, IMO. If it doesn't disappear into the filler quickly, you may have a problem down the line.

My experience is with an eGo and Boge LR cartos. With that combo, I find that I have to use a 70/30 PG/VG blend or thinner (more PG), no matter what the flavor is. Otherwise, I get gunked up cartos and "burnt wick" taste, because the juice can't wick to the heating element as fast as I vape. When I make darker juices, I go to thinner blends (more PG, less VG). Atties, carts, and CE2's have different requirements. Oh, and FYI, I use a carto for days with no cleaning, until the draw gets hard, then I drop it into an empty whipped butter container. Once the butter container has a dozen or so in it, I soak them all in water and change the water once an hour for 3-4 changes, then centrifuge out the water and set them out to dry overnight, and reuse them. Sometimes I'll additionally soak with Everclear, by putting on the carto condoms and filling it with Everclear and sitting for at least an hour before rinsing in water. I'm still using cartos that I bought and started using last year (though a few have bit the dust).
