This is for real? You really think sucralose and sugar is the same??

Do you not understand, sugars are used in most ejuice flavors?
Do you not understand glycerine and sugars both will caramelize and turn brown when heated?
Do you not clearly see the browing looks exactly like sugar/glycerine caramelization?

Awesome! Thanks so much. I have all those except I have golden butter CAP. You think that would work ok?
Cap flavors I find are stronger than TFA, start with .25%
Does it taste like butter or popcorn butter? TFA butter is popcorn butter flavor.

Not sure, used very little of it before with about seven other ingredients in another recipe. Think I'll just buy what you use. Need some more flavors anyways. :D

I like to mix mine, boil a pan of water, remove from heat, put the bottle in until its nice and warm. Give it a good shake, put it back in the water until its lukewarm. Shake it good again and its ready to vape :) gets better if it lasts long enough. I mix 16oz bottles at the time.
I put small, 2mm clear glass beads in my big mixing bottles to help with blending :) got em in the craft section at Walmart.

Looks like a great simple recipe that I can't mess up. Thank you again for sharing your recipe. :)

I believe remember a while ago you suggested that it's better to have longer leads so that the coil branches out more. I think it was the goon and this pic looks like the goon too. I'm gonna have to build new coils for my friends goon because he doesn't know how to build so I'm just asking from my own ignorance why it's better to build it that way. Sorry for getting off topic.

It reduces spit back and gives air flow around the coil, if you don't over wick it.

Hi Folks, thats is a process called "chelation" that happens when some juice with pyrones (Maltol, Ethyl Maltol) is heated in presence of iron. Is not unsafe. Is not caramelization. To get caramelization you need presence of saccharides like sugar, wich is very difficult to find in e-juices

Many people here have been vaping for many years and know enough to be able specialize in being a "vaping chemist".

Do you guys tend to keep spaces between individual wraps on your coils or keep them tightly wound? What are the pros/cons of both? I just recently go into using coils and I'm playing around with it.

I, too am interested in the benefits and drawbacks of spaced vs tightly wound coils. I've made both but, honestly, I'm not sure I can tell the difference. And to keep on topic, is wick more likely to burn one way or the other?
It is my understanding that spaced coils are used more often nowadays (from what I've picked up on this forum, I could be wrong).

I have spaced coils in the picture I posted though hard to tell with all the gunk before dry burning. I have done both types of coil wraps, but since switching to TC mode and using SS I find using spaced a bit better because you don't have to dry burn and squeeze to get all the hot spots. For me that's the only real difference I get is not dry burning a coil so much.

All I have done so far is throw a coil into a RTA/RDTA deck and give it a shot. It came tightly wound. I had to change the wick to get it to work in the RDTA deck and I spaced the wraps out when I did that just to see if it was any different. It did seem to produce more vapor but it's hard to say because I was fiddling around with it a lot.
