No question is stupid except the one unasked I use sterile saline.

REAL FLAVOR Recommendations

Thank you very much for the review! I just can’t get into coffee vapes, never have been able to. Hubby loves them. Ok, there are a couple of solutions to dry vapes, some works for some but not others. Sometimes it can be a particular flavoring just is dry, I have run into those. Sometimes you can lower the percentage of flavoring used. Sometimes you can’t as it makes it too weak, but that is usually my first try. However, any marshmallow is one that can help add moisture to juice as well, but …

What is Saline?

I found a recipe that calls for 3% saline (9 grams pure sea salt in 91 grams DW. What is this? Is it an acual flavor or something I have to make? How will it affect the flavor if I do not use?

Additives: Saline, Vinegar, Sucralose, Stevia, Sour, Lemon or Lime Juice

Guys, Gals, I became interested a couple weeks ago in the possible use of saline to take a bit of the dryness from Ejuice. I knew little about it’s use so first I searched here on ELR for the mention of Saline use. First thing I came across was a mention by @Ken_O_Where the Saline can clog coils. I thought, well, not good but possibly something I can put up with for personal use. Then after doing a little more research on Google, I ran into this… [image] Qu…

Vodka is basically just diluted PGA and is recommended because it doesn’t have any color or sugar (natural or otherwise). I’d suggest avoiding any alcohols that do if for no other reason then it will gunk up your coils faster. White rum might be okay, but I would stay away from spiced or dark rum. The general consensus is coloring and sugar are bad. Worse than the other “baddies?” Who knows. This is all a guessing game until we get solid studies done on the effects of inhaling xyz [insert anything here]. LoL. If you’re looking for flavor, I’d go with a GRAS (for ingestion) food flavor instead. If you are looking for a thinner, I’d stick with PGA, DW, or like MysticRose suggested, saline.

ABSOLUT HERESY!

I see what you did there…

Well, vodka is a classy drink (not to be confused with well vodka, which is not classy, nope).

PGA is what I use to degrease my wire before wrapping a coil.

So even though I was being silly, I kinda meant it.
