Blueberry/ Pomegranate blend gunks quick

[R3alJim Shady]

Anyone else have this problem?

My recipe is 7% TFA Blueberry (Extra)
4% TFA Pomegranate
1% TFA Sour

It kills my coils in a matter of two days and bumming me out bc it's deliciousness! The liquid is mostly clear with a very slight purplish haze.

Haven't noticed this myself, although I've been using FA Pom., except not using that exact recipe.

I've noticed TFA Blueberry Extra is Dark Yellow, whereas TFA Blueberry Wild is clear, just seems strange to me, although I use both.

Just wondering if you've tried those flavors stand alone to see which one is the culprit, but doubtful it's the TFA Sour.

I haven't tried any of the flavorings on their own, but I'm fairly certain it's not the TFA Sour as I have more experience with it.
I'm inclined to think it's the Pomegranate, but I have no scientific basis for my theory. I was hoping to avoid making individual flavoring mixes to figure it out, mostly because I'm lazy! Haha

Gunk is thw number one reason to go RBA.

Some flavorings and combinations just gunk more and faster than others. Problem could be any and all of the ingredients. The solution is easy Rewicking atomizers. Which mean rebuildable coils

Yeah I've been rebuilding now for about 3 years because the cost is too high and coil heads are too inconsistent on the whole. Cost is he whole reason I got into DIY as well!

Yes, it's the sour. Doesn't hold up to heat at all.

Funny, I use it in the same amount with a strawberry watermelon mix and I don't have the same issue. Maybe it just exacerbates the issue in the blue-pom mix.

Yeah, it sure did when I used to mix it with TFA Grape.

I believe TFA Blueberry extra has ethyl maltol in it so it may be that. (it may explain the yellow color compared to the Blueberry Wild as well) However, I have not been able to confirm that for 100%.
It could also be the sour, which I do not have much experience with.
Maybe try lowering the percentages of the Blueberry extra and sour. If necessary and available, you can add a different blueberry to it to bump the blueberry flavor up. I like using the wild with the Extra... or if you have Flavour Art Bilberry, it goes well with Blueberry extra as well, IMO.

I like using the wild with the Extra...

I also tend to mix those 2 together myself lately...
