Hi, folks! I just joined on the basis of having read Dirtmonkey's intriguing posts about using essential oils in eliquids. So, DM, if you're listening, please drop me a line - I'm probably your biggest fan! And if you're not DM, but are listening anyway and are also into experimenting with weird flavours (yes, "flavours" with a "u" - I'm Scottish, damn you), drop me a line, too. :)

Good grief, there is life out there! Ta for responding, folks! :) Not sure I want to DIE vaping, though! My thoughts on essential oils are that they're probably the big secret and are used in more commercial "flavours" than we realise. Certainly, there's a few I find suspiciously familiar - and rather good, actually. Most, though, taste a bit like either "old lady perfume" (I'm looking at you, Granny Lavender) or toilet cleaner (talking some kinds of Pine). I'm a big fan of the lemony ones, though, not least Lemongrass - Thai food is cool under any circumstance. Problem is, though, the ol' Limonene seems to hang around in the coil for a billion years afterwards. Not necessarily what you want, but can be used judiciously to enhance your vapes for a week or so after. I currently have a fruity Tobacco-ish load in a previously-Limonened Cleito, and it's not bad at all. Can become a tad persistent, though, so unless you want to switch coils 'n' o-rings after every lemony load, you do need to be a fan!

Seriously, folks, did I already do something wrong? Really didn't join to annoy anyone. :)

BTW, SmacUser, did you mean you're also a Mac, as in a Scot? Like a MacSween or whatever (Sweeney being my Mum's surname). Or are you a Mac and a User because Scottish and Trainspotting? LOL!!! PS - they just filmed the second episode up my way, really looking forward to that hitting the screens!

Hey Steve, I believe Sawlight was saying the thread may be moved to the Not Advisable section at some point. That's all.

Vaping "oils" is a bit sketchy as far as safety/ health goes. Cheers.

I think "oils" might be a misnomer on some of this stuff, kinda like Lorann Oils is.

Jings, people, I seem to have lit the frickin torch here! Indeed, "essential oils" are not oils per se. "Oil" is a complex concept, actually. An "essential oil", correctly described, is a steam-distilled product, not a pressure-expressed oil as such. So no, NEVER vape Olive Oil, and only ever drop about 2 drops smellies per 10 ml of neutral.
