too much sweetener in your juice. Whenever I vape commercial sweet juices this is what happens to my coils. No problem is I only vape my DIY juices.

gunking is juice type dependent unfortunately

Irrespective of your juice the coils and cotton will eventually go black and need a rewick.

The diy'ers (I partially vape diy juice) will condemn the juices you vape, but each has his or her poisen.

It's just maintenance, that's all. Diy and spend thousands of rands for a handful of good recipes, then rewick once a week. Or buy your favorite commercial juice with 99.9% sweetener and rewick every 3 days, whatever makes you happy!

It is the Jam Monster(Most probably)or Nasty. When will juice makers realise you do not need to load sweetener to make the juice sweet and tasty. There are other techniques.

I bought some OFE a three years ago from VK and it crystallized on my sub ohm tank coils...it was that bad.

Jam Monster (Blueberry & Strawberry at least) are actually kind(ish) to your cotton and coils. I've been vaping my Strawberry Jam Monster for the last week (PYRO V2 RDTA - dual coil @ 65w) and I've got a lot of life left in the wick.

Hmmm, the grape and blueberry definitely gunked up my coils and cotton. Thankfully I dry burn the coils and scrape off the gunk and good as new. I only then used Jam Monster when I was about to change cotton. It is bad but not as bad as some others.

Once I've removed the cotton and fired the coil once or twice I open a tap slightly and wet the warm coil. I've found that that removes all the residue that would have been left over.

Other thing,like to vape my cotton semi dry.
it seems the flavour is better that way.
it looks like your doing the same thing,but vaping it too dry.that's when things start to 'brand vas'
