DIY juice making mouth dry.

[b00gym4n]

Does anyone else have this problem? I'm using various Capella flavors at 50/50 6mg...

My mouth gets dry after 4-6 hits. The one's I buy from the shop taste much juicer, less dry. Also, this one juice I made smells kind of burnt when I blow it out of my nose. Not sure what's causing it, maybe I need to add a bit of sweetener?

Try vaping the the base by itself and see if you get the dry mouth. Could be bad PG, VG or Nic. You can vape the PG and VG seperatly as well to narrow it down further. I've had certain PG liquids that did this. It's not uncommon.

Good info. Will try that. Thanks!

I can't remember which one, but I've read that either PG or VG acts as a desiccant and removes moisture from the mouth. I notice an improvement in the taste of my vapes after I take a drink when my mouth gets dry.

A burnt taste/smell could indicate too high a percentage of flavor. Coffee flavors are notorious for that among others.

I used to mix 50/50 and experienced a sort of dry harshness so I cut the PG back to 45% and add distilled water at 5% which seemed to make a noticeable difference. Sucralose sweetener in modest amounts seems to stimulate my salivary glands somewhat as well but YMMV on that.

My next experiment will be using a sterile saline solution at 2 drops per 10 ml along with the distilled water. Some recent threads have suggested the salt in small amounts helps enhance some flavors.
