Found some vanilla extract?

[mylose64]

So I bought a 6ml of coffee flavor and it taste HORRIBLE!

It tastes like unsweetened old coffee and the flavor never goes away in one of my atty.
I found some vanilla extract and put a few drops mixed with a few drops of my coffee e juice.

It tastes great, but I'm not sure if it's safe... haha sooo...

Is it safe to do so?

I would worry about the corn syrup messing up the coil in the atty.

Me too. It's basically sugar and it will result in gunk buildup that may short out the atty. There are many other vanilla flavorings that have PG bases.

That sucks haha. How do I get whatever is on the atty now off?

Soak in everclear (PGA) if available in your state or 151 proof vodka - uncolored, unflavored - Galen's if it's available in GA. Soak for 15-20 minutes - blow out the atty from the batt end - papertowel to clean out the atty chamber - don't mess with the bridge, etc. etc.

no - no corn syrup nor any other natural sweetener in an ecig.

Go to OneStopDIYShop and you can buy flavorings usable in eliquids (3 brands) as well as everything for making eliquids - you could try cream or vanilla. And the cotton candy flavoring is ethol maltol 10%, a common sweetener for caramel-type flavors. And Tasty Vapor sells pre-diluted splendex 10% in PG which is the sweetener used in lots of eliquids. I bought both.


BTW - I picked up this Frontier Fair Trade Vanilla Flavor in glycerin and it didn't list sweeteners at all in the ingredients but when I tasted it wow so sweet - it has to have corn syrup or something in it so I can't use it.

@Kent C

anything else besides that? maybe boiling water or soda pop?

I really don't want to buy 151 proof vodka. I don't want anyone drinking it, that's pretty strong and I don't want to babysit anyone on a saturday night

and I really don't like the idea of ever clear lol

Well not soda for the same sugary reason. You can use hot water - that would be my choice if I didn't have vodka - I stick to human consumables - not isopropyl although that would clear it as well. You just have to really rinse it out and then dry it completely when you use water. Don't blow it out with a compressor - that's too strong and canned air has a bitterant in it that will coat the metal let it dry over night after blowing it out by mouth and then blow it out again. Put some PG/VG or ejuice in so when you fire it up it isn't totally dry...
