Looking for something to "thicken up" my El Kamino and "The flu." I have heard about jokesmoke 2.0, but the shipping from Canada almost doubles the cost of a 60 ml bottle. Is it worth it to take the hit, roll the dice, and get a 120 ml bottle? The main reason I am going for 100% VG is to hopefully eliminate leaking issues, (slow leak,) in my OBS T-VCT. (Right now I am using a 50-50 mix and I suspect that is the problem.) Any suggestions (Edit: I'm thiking a light-medium tobacco taste would be best. Nothing sweet because I already have the little sweetness I need from the Kamino and flu.)

Absolutely don't waste a cent on any of those "cloud enhancers." They're one of the biggest scams going in this industry, and that's saying a lot. They're literally straight 100% VG, which you can find at any online store that sells DIY supplies for a fraction of the cost.

*edit* Oh JokeSmoke is flavored? I guess I don't understand what you're asking, then. Do you just want a high VG tobacco flavored liquid to mix in with your other flavors?

Well, I guess that's part of what I'm asking. I need VG because I suspect it will put a stop to the gurgling/leaking in my tank. I have already noticed using 75/25 as opposed to 50/50 reduces the gurgling, (but does not stop it completely). (Just an intuitive hunch though.) Most of my juice was bought a while ago and it is almost all 50/50 besides one small 30 ml bottle of the 75/25 i mentioned earlier. (Which I am having to use to "thicken up" the 50/50 and am getting sick of the taste of.) Should I just buy pure VG since I am already happy with the flavor of my 50/50 juice? Is this more cost effective? Will it cause the taste to be saturated? If you think I should buy pure VG do you have any recommendations for safe, cheap website? Either way, tomorrow I'm going to take the hit and buy a small bottle of 100% VG juice from my local vape shop to see if my suspicions are true before I go buy a huge bottle of VG or VG juice.

I think your problem is coming from your heads flooding, have you ever considered building your own coils ?
OBS Crius Rebuildable Tank Atomizer

I have considered, but just don't have the time/money to learn ATM. The increased VG seems to be helping. Only a gurgle if I take a few too many stress puffs in a row. I only have to clean the vents once a day now as opposed to 3 or 4 times daily. That's with 10-15 % added VG to the original (approx) 60-40 solution. Might try adding tiny bit more Vg tomorrow. I don't even notice much of a taste dilution

What coils are you using and what wattage ?

Try a genuine Kangertech Subtank Nano? I'm not affiliated with them just a regular vaper but I only buy well reviewed and quality genuine gear. Tried knock offs once (ego c and evods) and they leak and gurgle etc. Genuine evods and subtanks do not leak or gurgle at all, at least not for me and I carry them in a jacket pocket and ride a cycle to and from work.

Subtank - it's an expensive initial layout but comes with two coils one .5ohm to fire between 20-35W and one 1.2ohm to fire between 15-25W. Amazing flavour and performance and more importantly no leakage whatsoever. I'm on my 4th or 5th tank full now and still going strong and it has not leaked even a smidgeon even once.

I'm not usure what PV or tank set up you use. But from all my vaping history for low wattage / volts vaping I use genuine EVOD's and for high wattage vaping I am thrilled by the subtank nano performance.

My EVOD uses 80PG/20VG juice and no leaks and my subtank 50PG/50PG juice and zero leakage if that helps you any. If these don't leak with those ratios, then why should you accept it in your tank? In vaping I find best to go quality to avoid the hassles that can make it disappointing and difficult. More layout for tanks but then use replacement coils.

Janty XL cartos are also leak and hassle free if low power vaping, they do them in single coil reg ohm or lower ohm or even dual coils now, same for EVODs.
