Herbal E Liquids

[pipster]

Has anyone run across any venders selling naturally extracted herbal e liquids? I would love to find a natural Fennel e liquid. The only one I have found online is Hangsen and another in the UK. I use Toms of Maine Fennel Toothpaste and I love it! I thought this morning after brushing.......OMG, I need this in a vape! I know there is black licorice and anise liquids out there, but true fennel is what i'm hoping for. Anyone?

Pluid has fennel in it. Don't know if it's extracted from fennel, but there's a definite fennel note with the anise.

Also, you can do your own fennel and pg/vg cold maceration (soak). Try a bit of extract weekly until you hit the mark.

all i could find is hangston and dekang fennel and i hear everywhere that those brands aren't good.

I'd love to see more herbal vapes. But I guess that it is easy enough to soak some herbs in PG or VG and extract the flavor that way yourself, one of these days I'll try it

wow, that's really fascinating!

here's one place (I just googled-- don't know how good/bad it or the company is.)

The cold maceration soak sounds good. You could also do a tincture which are very easy to do. I'm now more curious about flavorings....there has to be some out there that are not alcohol-based, so I wonder what they use....distilled water?

Do you have the link to the one you googled? I would like to know how to do it without alcohol too. I would love to try some! Lemon basil, Fennel, Clementine Sage? Endless possibilities mmmm.... Honey Sage.. i bought some real stuff in Croatia...delish!!

Give Holi Smokes a shot. Lots of different combos, pretty expensive, and no nicotine. But I've been thinking of trying some.

I wonder what basil would taste like. I really like pesto but that has a lot of different things added to it. Not sure how garlic would vape.

Well, just read that they contain terpenoids, which can be toxic to cats when inhaled in large quantities. I know that Tee Tree Oil is deadly for them, and thyme/basil/oregano oils are also not good. Looks like these will have to be avoided for me. Love my cats more than vaping.

Any herbals will have essential oils in them. Best to stay away if you're concerned.

Garlic vape. Umm. Nope. I'd rather vape Bacon, if I had to choose.

I see they have a couple with fennel

Ok i see Holi Smokes has 5ml bottles so i guess i'll try some, I've been curious for so long and I saw a favorable review on reddit, I think I'll get:

Monk's Prayer-"With primary flavors of ylang ylang - frankincense – orange. Vaping Notes: Sweet musk, creamy undertones and invokes memories of ancient earth".

I think I'll go full on hippie here too and try the Aphrodite's Lips-"With primary flavors of patchouli - allspice - jasmine. Vaping Notes: Toasty-sweet smoothness. Exquisite floral remnants float in the background".

Moon Beams-"With primary flavors of lavender - lemongrass - valerian. Vaping Notes: Grassy lemon highs and earthy undertones. Bold and potent."

Oh that's too bad.
I developed an unfortunate allergy to cats later in life for some cruel reason. Man I really miss having cats around.

I have had the Dekang fennel and it was very good. I also got some LoAnn's Anise and Horehound flavoring also good for the DIY. The Horehound is very very close to the fennel.

well you could massage with any eliquid though really if it's VG (and no nic) all kinds of body products have VG in them
I figure the milkiness is just due to the herbs, idk

I have mixed feelings about the china suppliers, so I didn't buy it. I just love the taste of fennel. I lived in San Francisco for a long time and used to hike alot around the bay area which has wild fennel growing everywhere. It was great to chew on while hiking! I love my Fennel Toothpaste...which reminds me of the wild fennel.. exact same taste. A perfect fennel vape would be my dream come true and probably a top ADV for me
The anise/horehound mix might be good.. i should try DIY one of these days. A little too shop happy right now trying what's out there.. I will eventually give it a try though..

I wouldn't do a alcohol tincture for flavoring. Then you'd have to mess with evaping it. Only thing I'd use alcohol to extract is something we can't speak of here.

I'd do a simple cold soak over the course of a few weeks in PG and a bit longer in VG since it's more viscous. Try a bit of the extract every few days until it's the strength you like. Sorry, I don't DIY so I can't give percentages.

You could do it as simply as red Solo cups with a couple ounces of VG/PG and a gram of fennel to start with.
