My first experiment with lemon. I'm sure there are better places to get a product for what we do but my impatience led me to Kroger where I bought a plastic lemon full of lemon concentrate and a bottle of artificially flavored lemon that had some oil in it. I mixed a small batch of the lemon concentrate with pg vg no nic. It had decent vapor, not much flavor but more importantly did nothing to stimulate my saliva glands. On the other hand it did not dry out my mouth much at all meaning I didn't feel much of a change at all with the moisture in my mouth. Some of the ingredients listed were water, sodium benzoate, sodium metabisulfite, sodium sulfite, lemon oil. This is something I will not try again.

Now the artificial lemon flavoring..same mix with pg vg. First two vapes (again decent vapor) dry-est vapor I have had to date. It was the kind of vapor that sucks all the moisture out of my mouth. My tongue and the roof of my mouth then the sides of my mouth were completely moisture-less. I had to drink water...it honestly was one of those "I must have water" things.

Now, just for kicks, I grabbed some table salt and poured it into the mix. Why? ...When I put salt on my tongue or anywhere in my mouth, the salt makes my mouth create saliva like there is no tomorrow. If I wet my finger(just the palm side of a small area on the index) and shake just a bit of salt on it, touch my tongue with it. It can fill half my mouth with saliva from that.
It took about 2 hours (it seemed) to dissolve. Then I vaped it. The flavor not good, not terrible but the dry vape had toned down to the point of where I did not feel like I had to run for a glass of water. The salt did help with the dryness.

The concentrate had water and salt with a little oil in it...in terms of NOM NOM-none really...in terms of dryness-not much at all. I believe the water and salt(what is in our saliva already) is what helped with keeping the vapor away from dryness.

The artificially flavor lemon with alcohol and oil (which are not part of my saliva ingredients) was just too dry for me to vape.

I will not be doing this experiment again because when I woke up the next day my chest was tight and I felt like I had been smoking cigarettes. It took about twelve more hours for this feeling to go away....I feel fine now.

Parallex2....This is my personal definition of NOM NOM....Not a flavor, A vapor that will actually stimulate the saliva glands thus creating the Cujo syndrome and leaving the water for the grass. and as for my atty with the salt vape. I gave it an iso bath immediately after the experiment....so far it's still working fine.

Does this make me an alien? I bought a real lemon...sucked on it--yuck! it did not create saliva for me at all.It did however make my face weird and wrinkly and made my cheeks tighten up. I put salt in my mouth...I have extra saliva for you guys!!

Hey Red , I got the toothpaste, gel, gum and mouthwash. The gum is really good and so is the mouthwash...I haven't tried the other two yet.

Bovinia, I like your description of NOM NOM better....it sounds so yummy.

Seabrook I saw you said slice of lemon ( now I see candies ) lmao. Me = lemon = no thanks...candies are good though!


Granted, I don't have a real lab, nor an advanced chemistry degree. Just have tried because I'm that guy that when someone says I can't do something, I do it just to confirm that I cannot...
Same here Hoosier and after my first very crude experiment I still believe more in the saliva ingredients (the first part) for creating NOM NOM. Question, what else do we use for food (like maybe some sort of salt substitute or anything that would get the saliva going, that doesn't contain that bad part for the atty? Anything you know of that would be safe? Do you or anyone think the oil could have made me feel the way I did afterwords?
off to work...hag1 guys

If the water doesn't work, suck on a Jolly Rancher. :drool:

I'd be reluctant to try anything with oil in it. I read a report that said certain types of oil are known to cause respiratory problems. Not sure if this type of oil is one but i'd err on the side of caution.

I agree Duke and my guinea pig days are over. I will keep searching for that perfect mix that makes my taste buds sing.
I mixed up some v.c., waffle, and caramel. The third day of resting makes this mix very nice. I added some of this to a Marlboro type blend I have and it did create a NOM effect. I am taking a "clash" approach to achieving what I want from my vape. It seems as if the more mellow bakery type flavor is clashed with a more potent type....or even like a Mt.Dew with a smokey or bakery (flavors that wouldn't seem like you should mix together) does create that saliva effect in the throat and mouth.
Now I just need to figure out what clashes well together with the little time I have.

@rockyroad. Refresh my memory, cuz I forgot where we're at here. Do you like fruit flavors, candy/gum flavors or bakery-type flavors? Please and thank you.

Honestly I'm not exactly sure where we are at either. I need to read some of this thread again. As for fruit, that is pretty much a negative by itself. I might try some raspberry with some sharp tone smoke juice and a touch of something else. I have tried some bubble gum flavors but..... The bakery flavors yes. I think I'll pop in some tobacco absolute with some waffle and maybe a touch of Wilton's and see what happens. Whatever I mix up I will be sure to "check the labels first" and stay away from experimenting with lemons. Have you mixed any new yum yum lately?

I have. I mixed a 60/40 blend of cheesecake and raspberry, respectively. After I blend, I add just 1 or 2 drops of cool mint to perk it up a little. I've been trying a few of the flavors I have as stand-alones. I really like the Apple Pie, Double Chocolate Mint and the Toasted Almond. The bubblegum needs to be a little stronger for me. I usually add just one or two drops of Cool Mint to wake the flavor up. I don't care much for the tobacco flavors - I think b/c now smoking a cigarette is so repulsive to me that the tobacco just doesn't at all appeal to me. One of SimpleSins favorite flavors is the Cinna. Danish Swirl. I like it mixed with banana and a touch of Toasted Almond. Okay, just wanted to know if you found anything yet for the NOM NOM.

Have you ever made up some cool mint by itself? I want a good peppermint flavor and have been thinking about trying it.

No, actually I haven't. I kind of hesitate, because I don't like too many mint flavors. The only mints I have found that I relish are those cute little pale yellow mints I think they call after-dinner mints? - the ones that just melt in your mouth. Another mint I like is those candies that are called Junior Mints. The mint that I get way too carried away vaping is Capella's Milk Chocolate Mint. I have to be careful there, because I'm trying to quit vaping also - just try life with breathing oxygen, LOL. The MCM makes me chain vape, and then I get little dry coughs. I'll mix some up in a little while and let you know what I think. Stay tuned.

I know the little after dinner mints you are talking about...yum! I haven't tried any kind of mint vapes but doggone it Seabrook, now I gotta make another Capella order because I don't have the MCM!! I should just order 1 of every flavor!

You already know that I love the rich, desserty flavors so I don't have any of the fruits either. I'm needing some ideas on what to mix with my cheesecake and my waffle flavors. Both are pretty bland on their own. I have the CDSwirl but if you can believe it, I'm reaching my cinnamon threshold on the Snickerdoodle I've been vaping for the last couple of months. Love it and the CDSwirl, but need a change of pace.

Oh...do any of you have Cap's Cappuccino? And if so, are you blending with anything or using it as a stand alone? I'm having a hard time finding a ratio on this one to get the nom nom. It has a wonderful flavor...but it seems to have me chasing it to get it's full potential.

Hi bovinia,

I like the cheesecake flavoring, so I wouldn't hesitation to mix any fruit with it. I'm so thrilled that the Cap's flavors are good as stand-alones instead of having to do all sorts of stuff to make it good. If you like the desserts flavors, you would prolly like the Chocolate Almond Coconut - tastes just like the Almond Joy candy bar. Oh, my! If you get the Strawberries & Cream and the Peaches & Cream, you might want to start at only 10 percent first if you usually blend at 20 percent.

When I don't want anything sweetish, I vape the Toasted Almond or Peanut Butter with a little VC.

No I don't have the Cappucino. I have an unopened bottle of LorAnn's Keoke Coffee. Just haven't been in the mood to try it. I think I'll try it with Banana, Coconut and French Vanilla - just sounds good to me.

As for the NOM NOM, I always add just one or two drops of the Cool Mint for a fresh taste, not a minty or menthol taste. I love the Banana with 2 drops of Cool Mint - reminds me of PureSmoker's Bananica. Have fun.
