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. ![(puke)](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/hkVSoTLG4ORyfUKJ9FnS.gif) 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 ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
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. ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/30yfTjP3QPippj7hX3wK.gif)

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 ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) 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 ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

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

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

I was reading that some e-liquid make the wicks clog up quicker... are there any e-liquids that do not cause this? 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. ![icon_lovechocolate](//storage.proboards.com/2973975/images/p9ZRBF7sn4DFMpYFb4LL.gif)
