additives for a throat hit boost.....

[parapo]

i tried some vinegar and lemon juice in a 1ml sample...which i read about in other threads,and are also ingredients in e-juice, but no dice.....

the lemon actually removes a small amount of hit i got from my sample (commercial coffee zero) and the vinegar did smooth out the taste somehow....if that makes any sense to you.

i put 1% of each and tried it before adding the next.

i could also try citric acid from work,but that is just pure lemon juice in powder.

.......too bad i thought it would do something.

Acidity isn't the way to get a hit apparently, the mix needs to be alkaline. I've heard other people say that acidic additives reduce harshness.

my test kinda proofs what you are writing....

i'm working in a chemical company..... do you have some alkalines to suggest?

Sorry Parapo, I don't know of any yet.

Sorry Parapo, I don't know of any yet.

drop me a line if you know of some.
i'm happy to try them out if we have them at work.

I googled this : Body Alkalizer Liquid, Alkaline Booster - 1 fl. oz.

which is interesting. Sodium hydroxide? That's LYE, or drain cleaner!

Wikipedia surprised me though, apparently is it also used to thicken ice cream, and chinese noodles, and a bunch of other foods. So I guess a little won't kill you ? Sodium hydroxide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

we have it in liquid and powder(s). nasty stuff causes chemical burns.
could be too concentrated, but still leaves a white residue when the liquid is dryed out.
not very atomizer friendly i guess.

Parapo, I started looking for 'alkaline liquids' and alkaline foods' on Google earlier but got distracted.

If I find anything I'll let you know.

ph levels in swimming pools are also lowered or highered (can't remember which)
with hydrochloric acid.
the same stuff is also used to clean metals from rust (almost instantly)

sounds scary but it is also produced in our gastric system!
maybe that is something to consider.

Perhaps mixing a little water with an antacid tablet dissolved in it will reduce the acidity of the ejuice.....
