been mixing for about a month now, and happy with the liquids i'm producing, but i'm finding one flavour in particular (vanilla and pineapple :grin2:) seems to be clogging my coils. the draw is hard work, almost like no air is going through the tank! would adding a small amount of distilled water help? edit: mix is 60/40 pg/vg
 
What devices are you using, what wicking material?

I find some liquids clog coils more than others..
 
surprised any 60/40 mix is clogging anything...not really come across distilled water being used in such a high pg mix...
could try 1 or 2 drops of vodka/gin ect..very small amount has a massive effect on consistency..

i'm currently trying to find some distilled myself(for a 20/80 mix)..thought i'd get it at a local chemist but no luck so far.

You Could try rayon/cellu cotton..seem to be quite resistant to clogging in comparison to cotton

You want sterile water. This is distilled water manufactured under sterile conditions. Hospitals etc use it. Try fleabay. That's_where I get mine from.
 
you can buy prurified BP grade water from tescos pharmacy, a big bottle is about £2.50 but you may need to ask them to order it in.
I'd be very suprised though if it was the ratio clogging it. cos you are higher in PG than VG. is it a darker coloured juice? Dark coloured juices are known to kill coils but if your stuggling to get a draw on it you may have too much cotton in blocking the air hole/flow
