i did a new testing Koh vs epsom salt and i was surprise that there was no different in production the only different was that koh mixture pull more amps how come?

I don't know jack about Chem. but i suspect the epsom salt is splinting, and releasing other gasses.
I=V/R so R=V/I and V=I*R
P=V*I
(I=Amps, V=volts, P= power in watts, R=resistance in ohms)
Epsom Salt is Magnesium Sulfate, or MgSO4. Like Owen, I'm not a chemist, but I'll bet money that you are getting some kind of reaction going with the Sulfate ions... If that's the case, then you'll be using up your electrolyte which isn't good...
Are you just going for cheap and convenient? Cause you can get Drain Cleaner from Wally world 7 bucks for 2 liters of KOH and sodium Hydroxide mix

my chemist teacher told me that using KOH i more expensive then Epsom salt and KOH is more dangerous if gets into the eye.
temp i think is the same because i run both for 20 min i check with my hand and they sims to be the same the only different was the amp pull. i did balloon test on both they both go up same speed.
ROLAND even if i mix it a little i did epsom test first so i dont think that will change reading that much for koh
Ask your chemist teacher if MgSO4 will cause any peripheral reactions under electrolysis, other than decomposition of water. If so, I imagine that is where your extra gas is coming from - the salts are breaking down.
Also, do you smell any sulfur? Any yellowish deposits around anywhere after prolonged use?

I used epsom salts a couple months ago when my generator was 2 carbon rods in a bucket! The only thing I noticed about these epsom salts was that it left a white flaky coating on the electrodes after it dried. It worked pretty well...
7amp different
i didn't smell any sulfur i am trying keep vapor away from my face
