I think we're all a bit like that milomonkey . . . but don't forget alot of our stuff was designed to be ' disposable ' - it's easy to get too caught up in eking out the last dregs from something, when you'd have a much more pleasurable/satisfying vape from simply just changing an inexpensive coil head.

It's a bit like ( for me ) going through an ash tray, selecting the butts that still have some unsmoked tobacco and then making a ciggy out of the dregs.

Which I have done in past, desperate times . . . but it was a pretty disgusting smoke.

Oh yes!! I've been there several times, and yes it was yukkk .. but at the time, heavenly .. as my body sucked in some much needed nic.
I suppose the vaping equivalent would be trying to squeeze out old wicks into a tank, trying to get that last drop of juice 

And we used to do that as well when I started vaping . . . with the wadding material we used to fill cartridges. There were a number of Youtube vids demonstrating how to bung the filler into a syringe and then squeeze the last dregs out to re-use.

The thought is absolutely revolting now Tom, but at the time I thought it groundbreaking stuff.

Lol it occurred to me the other day to wonder what I would do if I ran out of juice (very very unlikely), so I had a peer into the kitchen cupboards
Hmmmm .. a bit of olive oil, that may be ok, some tabasco, that would give a bit of kick .. and oooooh some ground black pepper. Sounds possible .. might need a good slug of vodka though to get it to vapourise. And of course, no nic.
Hmmmm gonna make damn sure I don't run out of juice

I was reading that some e-liquid make the wicks clog up quicker... are there any e-liquids that do not cause this?

Indeed, you certainly can't vape olive oil

I find sweeter and darker coloured liquids clog up my wicks/coils more, also e-liquids with real tobacco extracts in them

[milomonkey]

What about Unflavored e-liquid? without any flavoring I would imagine it wont clog it up that quick?

Not going to be very nice though, is it.

Eliquids with a high(ish) percentage of sweetener in them are also known culprits Milo, as the sweetener caramelizes on the coil when it's heated. As a general rule, the clearer the eliquid colour then the less likely this is to happen.

So Menthols/Mints tend to have less of a gunking effect than a sweet Chocolate flavour for example.

However I know which I'd rather vape.

Why bother with e-cigs then - This is unflavored solution.
