One of my favorite liquids, EcoPure Rich is a basically EM and VG (plus nic). It's sweet and I am confident there is no DA/AP.
You probably remember a lot of this, so feel free to correct because I don't remember every detail from 2 years ago.
ECOPure Rich and ECOpure Fresh (Intellicig) were my ADV for quite a while in 2012-2013 when I was looking for a *clean*
vape. I even included them in all those "Best Of" year end polls and I may have generated their only vote back at that time.
When they discontinued EcoPure in the USA and replaced with ECOVape many of us perceived it was not the same. Before that, as a DIYer, you could also purchase ECOpure Krystal, which was their unflavored, 100% VG base manufactured with 3.6% nicotine. Then, they removed that from the US website as well. (I think this all had something to do with being bought out by BAT or whatever).
As I remember, that is what the *original* Virgin Vapor used in their coffee recipes, until it was no longer manufactured---I remember when they alerted their customers:
SOLD OUT - Organic Kona Velvet Milkshake E-liquid | Virgin Vapor | Electronic Cigarette Organic e-Liquid | Electronic Cigarettes
Back then I did try both the *new* EcoVape products, as well as the VV coffees that used to use the EcoPure, and both were decidedly not the same.
That original EcoPure nicotine sure was very clean tasting.....*crisp* was how everyone described it. Vicki at Cignot had some inventory available for a while and it sold out pretty quickly. Some people just switched over to the NAKED line that Cignot carried and still carries (basically, just nicotine, distilled water and 100% VG). It is made in the USA specifically for Cignot. (The rest of the Basic line does have some flavorings, but less than 0.3% PG, so a lot of high VG vapers love it.)
I guess you could just use a really clean tasting non-PG nicotine base (of your choice) and add some EM crystals, or close to 100% VG flavorings that don't contain DA or DP, and it would make a nice clean
vape.
The funny part is that very thing that made Ecopure Rich and Ecopure Fresh NOT widely popular was the very thing that drew many (mostly DIYers) who already were thinking about the possible dangers of flavorings, dyes, sugar, etc. in
juice back in 2012......it was clean, it did not use much flavoring, it tasted similar to unflavored in many ways.
The thing is that *most* vapers have always gone for high flavoring and rather rich tastes......and that is the opposite of what EcoPure Fresh tasted like.
But, they did have a following back in the day.....funny now, it seems we are coming full circle ?
