if you run out of juice and are just looking for a 0 nicotine product to vape.. go to walmart and buy a bottle of pg or vg .. you can vape that by itself.. might want to put a few drops of distilled water or grain alcohol with it to thin it out a bit.. if you want it flavored.. take the pg or vg then look around for some loranns flavoring.. you can find both is some craft stores.. and use about 10% flavor and 90% pg or vg

not sure if you where asking if you could vape the flavoring by itself.. if that was the question it would kill your atty fast

    Sorry to be such a nuisance. What about Vanilla Extract or Almond Extract, the kind used in baking recipes? Can they be used for vaping in case I run out of juice? Would they hurt anything?

    No such thing as a dumb question in this forum.
    Hope you got the answers you were looking for. These folks are very knowledgeable.

    That's wonderful! My plan is to use 0 nic at night (I'll try anyway) and this would be perfect! I know Hobby Lobby would have the VG (saw that on one of the You-Tube clips). Do you think they would also have Lorann's flavoring? Could you please tell me what that is since I've never heard of it before?

    And yes, I was asking if I could vape that by itself. I won't be doing that and want my atty's to last more than a day :D

    Vanilla extract is an alcohol base. No problems there. Not sure about almond.

    Fabulous! I have lots of vanilla extract left from Christmas baking and also peppermint extract.

    The vanilla ingredients are: Vanilla bean extractives in water, alcohol (35%) and corn syrup.

    The peppermint ingredients are: Alcohol (89%) oil of peppermint, and water.

    If these would fry my atty's, I won't even consider it.

    yes like crashtest said.. the loranns is in the cake area of hobby lobby.. here it is right across the isle from the glycerin..

    look in the diy section on the forum and you can find mixing directions.. but for 0 mg you can eyeball it easy.. go for around 10% flavoring then 85% glycerin.. so you have 5% of the bottle left.. this is for if the liquid seems too thick.. or if you want to add more throat hit.. if it is thick and you do not want a stronger throat hit.. add a bit of distilled water.. if you want more throat hit add a small amount of everclear or high proof vodka... if it is good on thickness you can just top it off with glycerin..

    also look online for flavors hobby lobby here only has common flavors.. you can find loranns , faeries finest, cabellas not sure on spelling on that..

    Sugar, as in corn syrup, is not a good idea. Neither are oil (although very small quantities seem to be OK) and colouring.

    Also, no idea how things are in the US, but the bakery flavours often do not state how much of them you should use, but they seem to be rather weak. You'd be out on your own, and proably have to vape a lot of unknown stuff.

    *sigh*...I obviously got the wrong stuff at Hobby Lobby yesterday. The bottle of glycerin is fine, but I got Loranns emulsion thinking that was the right stuff. Then I just now came back to this thread and found out Loranns flavoring is in little bottles. The emulsion is in a big bottle. Thick as stew and smells yummy, but has "gum" stuff in it. That can't be good. And yes, the vanilla extract has corn syrup....also can't be good.

    Sooo, I have to just breathe deep and wait for my juice to arrive tomorrow :cry:

    Alex is right anything with sugar or oils are deemed bad by most (atty killers). I'm using the flavourart flavorings right now and love them, great taste and highly concentrated. I did buy a bottle of walmart's great value imitation almond extract and it works ok, tastes ok but is weak, at least 20% or more flavoring to your mix, ingredients are water, alchohol (45%) and artificial flavor. You could use these in a pinch, they have a good selection of flavors but some have oil others don't so make sure you read the label.
