What causes this? Coil going bad? Its been a few weeks or 3 on this coil. I know i didnt overfill it so thats not it. I have a kangertech subox mini.

Coil going bad. Unless you're using really thin liquid, it's the coil.

Okay thanks. Im actually using a liquid thats 20vg to 80pg. Im going to start using the rba now. Do those typically last longer than the occ, or about the same? Sorry im still relatively new to this.

No coils go bad that's what they do
Different juice will make coils go quicker

Max VG doesn't work well in most tanks AFAIK
But leakage is often caused by worn out coils

A 50\50 will be harsh in a rebuildable

with rbas (rdas, whatever), you really only have to change the cotton every now and then. Unless you get bored with your setup, you can keep the coils in for months! They also really allow you to pursue whatever type of experience you're going for.
It's tough when you're starting out with RDAs though, because you're limited by your battery and you typically don't need a large battery/coils/rdas.
I usually try to go for as much vg as possible. I make "cloudchaser" builds, so vg helps that, and carries plenty of flavor for the amount I get (personal preference).

What should i use with my rba then? Do i go for more pg or vg? I like a decent amount of vapor but im not cloud chasing. Why would 50/50 be harsh?

I think the more vapor you inhale, the more vg based you are going to have to go. Pg becomes very harsh with any kind of concentration.
Go for wherever your preference takes you. When you go to a vapor store, sample many different flavors and brands in your own rig, until you find what suits you.

Pg is what gives that throat hit. When you start doing lung inhales that mix gets tough quick

70vg 30pg seems to be the magic for most
If you are not in a vape shop heavy area go to seducejuice.com

Is pg different in RBAs/drippers? I haven't really been able to tell much of a difference between 70/30 and 30/70 as far as throat hit goes. The only variable that seems to make a difference is the nicotine levels. I use a Nano and rebuild my own OCC heads, so just curious if it becomes different when you get off the OCC's.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream.

I think higher nicotine gives juice more throat hit/harshness than a lot of PG though they both play a part in that
I like my juice at 0.5% nicotine 80VG/20PG in my dripper but I think 50/50 or 60/40 would work better in a tank

Yeah no vapeshop where i live just one smoke shop that has a small selection of juices. Ill probably get something to hold me off then order some better quality juice. Ill try there 50/50 see how it goes. Is it okay to mix juices to get a better ratio of pg/vg. Since i had a max vg juice which i read was hard on tanks, i tried mixing it with a 80pg juice to balance it. Anyone else do this before? It seemed to help without effecting the flavor too much.

Some people are very sensitive/allergic to PG
I'm sure the same goes for VG

Boba's Bounty is apparently a good tobacco vape but I've never tried it
I make my own tobacco ejuice which I might eventually start selling but I'm strapped for cash at the moment so that likely won't be for a while
