Will 100% VG mute my flavors?

[Tinker Ray]

I mix my own saline - use kosher salt from the grocery store because it is pure salt only. Isotonic saline solution is 9mg or 1.62 teaspoons salt per liter distilled water. To keep it simple, use 1/2 teaspoon per cup of water. Since you will be mixing with additional distilled water to dilute VG, that should be close enough...

sorry. can someone just tell me if tart & sour is the same as lemon juice?

was just that I saw buffalo say lemon mutes fruits after a couple of days and I've had tart & sour in my peach for 3weeks without muting but thought the two were the same thing, I feel a little confused

It says "not for injection, but a coworker's mom is a nurse, and originally when I needed some syringes to use for mixing, she brought me a bag full of syringes that were full. They say "0.9% sodium chloride injection, usp. sterile solution. single use. normal saline." This seems to be identical, except for the "for injection" part. What is the difference, why can't I use that?

That original quote was from we2rcool, it kinda stumped me as well. I get mine from an EMT buddy of mine in syringes as well. Could be wrong but I'm agreeing with Danny45 and thinkin there're the same thing.

@buffaloguy. You have any experience with One on One flavors? They're mainly PG based. I have a 80vg/15%DW/5% Saline mix. Testing out flavors but can't seem to get the sweetness in any of the ones I've tested. Tried their Sweetart, Coconut, and Vanilla custard by themselves. Haven't given them a warm bath yet so maybe that's what I'm missing....but some have been steeping for weeks and still no sweetness. I have mixes with 5%, 8%, 10%, 15%, and stopped at 20% cause I figured it shouldn't be that high so I'm doing something wrong. Any help is much appreciated.

Only a few of their flavors Ive tried. Have you added any sweetener? Are you maybe using too much saline? That might counteract the natural sweetness of vg.

The thing is that if you like a sweet juice then its a double edged sword. In my experience any sweetening additive kills flavors after a few days. So what I generally recommend is if you are going to use something like sucralose or stevia then only make enough to last you those few days.

Do a test yourself. Make the same exact mix one with sweetener and one without. Steep it in rhe crock then let them sit three days. You should notice a substancial difference in flavor strength between the two. I always have found that any mix without sweeteners is more stable.

Of course you could mix your juice and then add a drop of sweetener in your tank when you vape instead of adding it to your juice when mixing. Just a thought.

I just bought some AG (80% VG, 20% Distilled water) should I get some saline and mix around 2% or something like that of the overall juice percentage?

I am still on the hunt for saline locally, so no update yet! The lady's mom didn't come through on the syringes yet. lol
