Snake Oil. Mother of all coil gunkers

[HaroldTheBarrel]

Has anyone else experienced this?

At 12mg MTL in a Nautilus I'm barely getting through 2 mls before it starts tasting burnt on the exhale. If I then prime the coil every few drags it tastes ok for a while, but then the airflow drops off so rapidly it's like trying to suck a snooker ball through a garden hose.

It seems to be quite a popular liquid so I wondered what tanks other people are using it in.

Same here HaroldTheBarrel with a Nauti stock coil it clogged immediately so I swapped to a rebuilt cotton prr Protank and no problems, I only had one bottle of it donated from someone on here, 1 bottle was enough I went into instant dislike after a few tanks of it for some reason

Glad it's not just me then.

It does get a lot of rave reviews and in my never ending quest for another Red Astaire I thought I'd give it a try.

I'm about halfway through a 30ml bottle and haven't gone off it yet but the rate I'm getting through coils it's just too expensive. I've got some Prr coils so I'll give it a try in a Kanger tank

I'll see Your Snake Oil & raise it My home-steeped Black Cavendish!!!

Snake Oil in comparison to the majority of liquids on the market is fairly thin with a decent PG percentage. I would look towards wicking issues before blaming the juice as what you are describing and the solution is generally down to poor wicking.

I love, love the stuff as does my vaping friend and our very own dagl . . . . I don't know what he uses, but myself and friend crack through it in good old Protanks.

Absolutely no issues to report, infact I have to prise my chums PT out of their hands to change the coil - otherwise they'd use the same ruddy coil until the tank itself disintegrated!

That's right Mandy, Snake Oil remains a favourite of mine and a juice that I regularly go back to. I've tried in just about every tank I've owned.
I've had the occasional problem with coils not wicking (be it off the peg ready mades or diy)
I prefer the juice (flavour that is) at lower wattages/temps
Inspired by this thread I'm now dripping it in a velocity at 1.8 at 15W
Tho' I believe there is a high VG option to buy for the plummage fans
IIRC I saw in a review a few months ago that Tmax had sent with the juice a Nautilus atty as a recommended  set up for the juice

There is Dave . . . . I tried it at VF whilst parting company with a good wodge of my dosh on the stuff.

Me no likey in comparison to our much loved original nectar, lacked body and oomphage I thought - for me anyway.

I know it's mixed at 60PG. I generally go for higher PG liquids in the Nautilus but what can I do to change how it wicks? It's a stock coil and I'm now on my fourth coil and barely halfway through the bottle.

Could it be a dodgy batch of coils?  I does happen.

Or fakes even..?

[HaroldTheBarrel]

I suppose it's a possibility, most of them I got from FT but they were sold as genuine Aspire. The thing is I don't think they've come out of one packet. I have coils stashed all over the place and I just grab one from the nearest box

[nanotm]

the two packs I got off FT were listed as genuine as well but were totally fake and to be honest rather poor ones at that, I stopped trying to save 50p by getting them from there when I realised amazon do them for the same price with free next day delivery, that and now I don't need any more cos I have the vvtf RBA, so once i get the coil building knack sorted I can stop buying disposables for good

Bobas Bounty takes a bit of beating as top of the coil gunker pile
