Diluting El Toro Virginia Prime

Ryaller

The only juice I use is El Toro's Virginia Prime (12mg). My problem is that it's a complete atty killer. I alternate between a Protank, e-Vod and a T3, but I change the coils in all of them after 2 days max. I'm not vaping on a particularly high voltage either (maybe 3.8). This isn't a massive problem, I'd prefer to change out the coil and have a decent vape, but I was thinking of buying a bottle of El Toro PG base liquid with my next order and trying to dilute it a bit. Can anyone with more experience than me tell me if this would work? I understand that the high VG is the reason for gunking up the coils, but there's also some sugar in there somewhere.
Thanks!

Don't think it's the VG doing the damage it's sediment from the steeping process. The gunk that ruins your coils comes from the tobacco leaves as far as I know. The guy who makes the stuff is upgrading his filtration I think, someone else on here should be able to confirm this. That should make your coils last a bit longer.

High sugar juices (highbrow strawberry lemonade, wingnuts chocolate donut etc.) will have the same effect. It's the flavourings in the juices that cause the burnt on residue, pure PG or VG shouldn't leave anything behind.

PG and VG will leave stuff behind, but it'd be a week or more before you'd need to change your coils if you were using them alone. VG'a little worse, but using PG with Virginia Prime to offset that will probably net you about (Hold on while I make up a number...)

2 hours extra coil use.

As rickyjb says, 'tis the leaves. Some leaves are just worse than others - Oriental and Virginian leaves are wicked for gunk-sediment, cigar tobaccos not so much.

eBaron is constantly wondering how to filtering it better (I think at the moment it's vacuum filtered through 10 layers of fine mesh), but he had concerns that too much filtering would reduce the taste, meaning a longer steeping process which could also turn it into a slightly different juice. Depends what makes it through filtration.

So it's the leaves, not the high VG? Diluting it with a PG base would have no effect other than dulling the flavour? Grand so, I'll just keep changing the coils. Not the end of the world. Thanks for the replies.
