DIY Fruit tea liquid

[PlanetScribbles]

A shot glass with a fruit tea bag and 30ml of PG, covered with cling wrap and left in a dark cupboard for two days.
What you are left with is a dark, fruity, clean liquid that is utterly wonderful to vape if mixed 7:3 with some vodka or similar thinning liquid.
I've found a use for my 2L of PG
Now to find all the different fruit teas that are available.

This sounds like something I would enjoy. Thanks for sharing.
Have you noticed any downsides (clogged or dead atty, etc)?

 

[PlanetScribbles]

No downside really. It comes out a little viscous, similar to a children's cough syrup, so I dilute with vodka. It really is refreshing. My fruitiest, cleanest tasting vape so far.
I've had no clogged atty problems to date, but maybe some flavors could be a little sugary. Lets face it though, tea is as wholesome as momma's apple pie
I'm currently trying green tea.

Well I don't know what flavors you like but my husband LOVES the peach/mango lipton tea that comes in the pyramid tea bags. He uses for iced tea and it smells awesome as I have noted when I was hijacking his used tea bags LOL!!

I like the idea and may have to give that a whirl - Thanks for sharing!!!

Sounds good. I have a whole basket of various flavors I want to try. Now to find a large enough quantity of PG...

 

[laurel099]

Do you have a feed or vet store nearby?? Many get it by the gallon that way pretty cheap, of course be sure it's USP grade.

If not might try this:
Natural Bulk Cosmetic Bases * Soapmaking * Soap making Supplies * Essential Oils * Bulk Bases * Wholesale Soap Supplies * Private Labeling * Contract Packaging * Soap Making Supplies

You could always use the juice without diluting, in an Iolite. That's an idea actually ...
Yum, yum, yum

ebay? That's where I got mine.

 

[nugod777]

There is a tractor supply store about 22 mins away. I have seen people mention buying the gallon bottle there. The website says "feed grade" which doesn't quite make the cut IMHO. I will check out ebay though. I have two sites bookmarked that sell USP by the gallon. I do wish I had a good local supply though. Patience is not one of my virtues. =)

Pharmacies have it and health food stores have the VG.

While I had no trouble buying the PG from my KMart Pharmacy, I've heard of others who have had. If a product isn't prescription only, an employee doesn't have the right to refuse to sell it. There was already a law suit about a religious pharmacist not filling prescriptions for birth control pills. They don't want the trouble. At one local pharmacy, I was refused syringes and had to push them to sell me some so I could most efficiently fill my carts.

 

[nugod777]

I'll give the Walgreens a try. I have heard several people who had no trouble and some who have.

 

[PlanetScribbles]

Another flavor I think you will like ... chamomile and lavender honey. A beautiful, complex vape for before bedtime.

The Tractor Supply PG I bought is marked USP, it was NOT "feed grade." To be marked USP it must pass stringent standards for purity.

To me, feed grade sounds more like marketing CYA than anything else.

I've only used the commercial tea flavored juices, black from TW and green from Eastmall, mixing them with various tropical fruit flavors. At least with these, they mix really nicely with ginseng flavored juice and with "Healthcure" liquid which is ginseng flavored. Gives the juice an interesting slightly bitter complexity that satisfies me at night with a very low nicotine level.

Regarding diluting the PG with alcohol; if you don't and leave it thicker, will it fail to draw through to the atomizer? Is the PG thicker after the infusion than before?

 

[PlanetScribbles]

I only add a little alcohol to help with the infusion and to add a bit of throat hit. PG tends to be quite fluid as it is. Actually, I add a little glycerin to help with vapor production and that thickens it slightly.
