Healthy Mouth & Lung pH & E-Juice

Does anyone know if any of the e-juice suppliers sell a neutral 7 pH liquid?

I saw your other posting on your concerns about pH in juices. I'm not so sure this is a very important issue. I don't know about other producers, but Adam at vtvapor.com adds a little citric acid to his VG-only 35 mg unflavored juice, which is the base for his other flavored juices. Citric acid is necessary to turn nicotine, an amine base, into a more water-soluble and less stinky ammonium salt. So this could be the source of the slightly lower pH in the juice you analyzed with pH paper...which actually may not be accurate since pH is a water property, and juices are primarily PG or VG with only a little water or ethanol. And the pH paper is not likely accurate enough to really tell pH to more than integer reading. Besides, did you measure the pH of pure PG?

Your entire body system is very buffered, and while it is true that tumors are in general lower pH than healthy physiological pH, that does not at all imply that ingesting slightly acidic foods will cause cancer. Orange juice or lemonade are more acidic than vaping juices, afterall. danger from acids are more related to acids themselves than from the pH, within ranges of 6-7. And the actual amounts you ingest with vaping are very minute...imagine how long it would take to vape a glass of OJ, given your PV would actually allow for that.

It sounds to me like you may be having a bad reaction to PG, and not slightly low pH. You described in the other thread similar symptoms to what I experienced early on in my vaping with PG juices, and switching to VG-only juices eliminated all those symptoms entirely.

Of course, you could call producers and ask the pH if you have info that contradicts me here. If they make their own, and not just order from China, chances are they know the pH.

Good luck!

Thanks for your response! After 38 days I've decided to go cold turkey from my PV. With or without nicotine at this point, I would still vape if I had a juice which was pH balanced for the mouth & lungs, especially if it provided some kind of extra health benefit. I still am grateful for my PV, which unlike anything else I've ever tried, gave me this chance to quit analogs! Thanks again for everyone's support!!!
