Anyone vape VERY low flavor juices?

[element9633]

Hi all, been I've been away for just a bit! So my question is, does anyone vape using very low flavor juices? I Only drip at this point and I find myself getting tired of flavors. What I mean by that is strong flavors. I vape primarily 3mg nic all vg. I have started cutting my juices down big time... Like I will take a 30 ml bottle and mix it with 60ml vg to get the flavor subtle so that I don't get sick of it.. I am at the point where I can't stand strong flavor juices anymore. I enjoy vaping the best now when I just get a VERY light hint of flavor. Anyone else this way!?



Oh and in before:everyone's taste is dif

I like the strong flavors from my drippers. I switch flavors all day though, so I don't get sick of them.
Maybe use a different dripper or tank??

I have a crap ton of dif rda'a that I use (although preferring my tobh the most right now) , i guess I just prefer small flavor. There's gotta be other though! Unless I'm by myself

Depends a little on the specific flavor. I sometimes prefer liquids with just a hint of something fruity or maybe just menthol. For more complex flavors I prefer two-three hints; else I find they loose too much of their characteristics. Some undertones simply disappear.

I mix a lot from concentrated pre-mixes from Mom&Pop and T-Juice. Usually with 80-100% more base liquids than recommended. So, yes... I do like the weak sauce. Usually not quite as weak as OP, tho. I don't chase flavor. I chase purity of flavor. Any store-bought liquid is borderline nauseating to me.

As a side-note. Just heard on the radio that 25% of people have a very limited sense of taste and smell. Heard it on the radio. Must be true.

Edit: Also very dependent on atty used. The more concentrated flavor they provide, the more I dilute my liquids. I keep a bottle of 20mg/ml base sitting around to make diluting quick and easy.

I use non flavored (vg/pg/nic) sometimes.

I like bold flavours myself, but I know you're not alone OP, lots of folks go straight unflavored.

I've been strictly DIY for over a year now.

I've gotten to a point to where only very occasionally will I vape any mixes with "regular strength" flavor. Usually in a top fed dripper watching tv maybe once a week. Otherwise, I like my stuff very simple and subtle at maybe 5% max, bottom fed to an RDA for my ADV rotation. When I started to get down to that low of a percentage regularly, I also started to really notice and appreciate the quality and taste of different nicotine sources as well.

It's all subjective. This is what definitely works for me...

A good benefit is that I never get sick of anything, which early on with my vaping I would often.

Another huge benefit for vaping with very with little flavoring in your e-liquid, is the fact that it is the flavoring that contains all the "mystery" chemicals that may be harmful in the vapor. Take out the flavoring, and you have PG, VG, and nicotine. IMO, the closer you are to pure unflavored nicotine base, the safer it is.

Flavoring is made for ingestion, not inhalation. Just look at the alarming custard flavored e-liquid reports. It boggles my mind that people will still vape that stuff knowing it can give you "popcorn lung." And don't get me started on why the hell vendors are adding food coloring to a vast majority of e-liquids. That's just idiotic. Can't be good for you.

Cheers

I'm a DIY juice maker too. I mix fruit flavours at 2% and menthols at 5%. My Achilles heel is still custards though which I mix at 30%. *blush*

If you actually look into Diacetyl, you'll see there are a lot of "may"s in the research. As in is may cause "Popcorn Lung". Another commonly used term in research to the affects of Diacetyl is "over long periods of time". From what has been seen, the primary risk of Diacetyl lays with the factory workers who are around it and breathing it in for hours on end while they work with it, and even that is still a may.

I like light and subtle flavors. I guess that's why Dekang matches up with my taste buds. I'm one of those who can try every juice on the juice bar at a B&M and walk away with no juice. I'd like to be able to buy locally, but it's not in the cards so far.

I order Madvapes Mad 4 and Mad Tobacco and find those about right, but I can always find a Dekang juice I like, also.

Didn't they also say that it only converts to formaldehyde at 800+ degrees? I have seen a a guy use a laser thermometer on his .12 ohm coils with stacked 22650's and it was only at 200 degrees, just as an extreme example

Well it's up to you as an individual to assess what risks you're willing to take. You "may" end up with irreversible lung damage in a few years. See ya then?

I like weaker flavored juice. When I was still buying pre-made I would be constantly trying mixing different juices together to find a flavor I would like. Switching to DIY made it possible for me to make my flavors on the weak side, and work up slowly to where they fit my preference on my RDA's. The very few vendor juices I have left, I cut about 50/50 or more, with unflavored. Most vendor juices just taste overpowering to me...

 

[Funk Dracula]

I think what's really nice about RDA's is the fact that they deliver "the goods" in your e-liquid so damn well. You can cut your nicotine and flavoring down big time. There's nothing bad about that in the slightest.

 

[cocuZZa00]

I think you're on your own with this one... LOL

 

[YKruss]

I do mix unflavored most of the time.
And use 1-2% of tobacco flavors when need arise.

Most DIY suppliers will supply non flavored liquid. It's pretty good on it's own, or if you want a harmless flavor just buy some menthol crystals and drop a couple into your liquid, put the bottle (with the crystals in) in hot water, and then shake the eliquid and you have a nice home made menthol flavor. The problem is the additives we use are all for the catering industry. Very little is known about the long term effects of the chemicals in the flavors when inhaled. Sure, they're safe to eat, but vaped into your lungs is another issue. Menthol crystals have a long history of having the vapors breathed in and many studies have been made. Menthol is as safe as you can get! Although, try the no flavor, you might like it.

PG has a flavor, VG has a flavor and even nicotine has a flavor. So in reality there is no such thing as "unflavored". So the question is 'how much of a different flavor do you want to add to the mix"? And, there is no one answer.

I find that it depends on what I'm vaping a flavor through. With my dripper of choice many of my flavors were 'a bit much', and I needed to cut them by about half.

 

[NickWhit1992]

I mix 30mL of my favorite juice and 10mL of a very strong menthol mint flavor with about 177mL of straight VG from Walmart, and I love it. However, I love VG by itself anyway, kinda tastes like honey to me.

I've been vaping strictly non-flavored e-liquid for about 2 years now.
