Thanks Nazareth, I'm gonna order some Bickford flavorings and experiment.

Janet ... If you only esmoke with zero nicotine, you can join the ZERO NIC CLUB !!! lol

i only smoke zero nicotine cartridges, and when I drip and refill, I mix 1/3 Bickfords flavors and 2/3 veggie glycerin. Smooth as day and I haven't gotten a soar throat yet!

however, you can smoke 100% bickfords/PG or 100% Veg Glycerin with no issues :-)

good luck.

Cash- you don't get a rumbling stomach/gas with the glycerin? My stomach gets all gurgly with too much glycerin

not at all surprisingly. PG gave me the sweats, the runs, constant headaches, soar throats and just over bad feeling. Glycerin has been a blessing in disguise!

I smoked the vegetable glycerin all by itself and the vapor was intense. there was no inhalation taste and no weird aftertaste (like PG).

I think Glycerin should be used instead of PG in Eliquids. Not sure why its not. Cheap and Natural. PG is synthetic I believe.

Thanks for all the info. Do you guys just drip smoke or do you use cartridges? I've never drip smoked and am kind of afraid of ruining my atomizer. I also read somewhere that someone was using stainless steel wool in an empty cartridge. Any thoughts? I want to try veggie glycerin, but where do you get it? I was thinking a baking supply shop might have it. Also can you get stainless steel wool at the hardware store or in a hardware dept like Kmart? What grade? Any other thoughts on what to use as cartridge material? Anyone tried the guts of a filter from a cigarette? I want to make sure whatever material I use is safe for human consumption. By the way I have an Njoy penstyle and also an E-Puffer Penstyle. The Njoy definitely produces more vapor, but the E-Puffer is not too bad. I'm thinking of ordering another e-cig from myecig.com as I have seen Dusty's video. But it only comes in white. Maybe I can decorate it with heat proof enamel paint and have a designer e-cig : )

Here is that thread on the new forum ---> On the road to Crack Nicotine?

Welcome to the forum Janet.

Besides this thread on home cooking your own eliquid, there are other threads discussing EXACTLY some of your questions - you can find most of them quickly by selecting the tags on the front page of the forum or using the Search near the top of your screen. There have been recent updates on those topics!

I got to thinking about TropicalBob's comments about reusable tea-bags, and thought I'd fabricate my own "teabag" out of a coffee filter or two. Basically, I just created a pouch by folding a filter in half, filling it with about 10g of tobacco and stapling it closed. Toss 2 in a pot and follow JDRancor's recipe. A couple of slotted stainless spoons and you have an easy way to squeeze the hot pouches too.

The experiment is not yet finished, but the initial (unreduced) juice is a clear, dark brown fluid somewhat a-kin to a very strong tea.
