The question is, I'm dripping 6mg of nicotine in my rda's and RBA's, and I am thinking about making my own juice, and I tried some zero nicotine juice and it and doesn't taste right to me, maybe its cause I new to Vaporizing and it takes awhile to quit smoking, is that not the goal to eventually cut out nicotine completely, doesn't the nicotine and to the over all taste and flavor of your juices, so with no nicotine, do they add more flavoring or more P/G to get the same taste experience as you would using nicotine, then there is tobacco flavored nicotine which I'm not a big fan of, what do they do in that case.

I don't think you can get the same flavor with 0nic as with some nic, but then my nic has a little scent and taste to it, some does not. However, the feel of the hit will be different without. I started at 24 mg nic and have gradually decreased to 6 mg, and each amount has a slightly different flavor and hit. Personally, I don't care one way or another if I can taste it, but the lesser TH has been a little bit of an issue.

You can add 1% pure grain alcohol like Everclear and increase the throat hit. Just stay in small amounts. I use .5% myself. So in a 10 ml total solution .5ml

I have found the rich flavors hide a bit of the nic taste try a bold flavor like a peaches n cream. Or something else you like that has at least two flavor profiles.

I know too much nicotine, will make you sick, cause I bought some 18mg and was dripping it, and I got sick as dog, and it was on my hands too cause, the first couple of builds were rough and there was juice ever where, but then I bought some 14 gauge blunt needles and a 1,3,5,10,20 ml syringes and my RBA are easy to fill now, same with the RDA builds, I got juice in a syringe to moisten the cotton as I'm building. and when I start making juice, I can use the syringes or count out drops, the syringes would be more dead on for mixing then drops cause no two drops are the same.

I make both with nic and without. I vape 6mg and my wife vapes zero. They are different. as mentioned above the nic does have a "flavor" and it will change your recipe. unless you have VT nic apparently and I dont :facepalm: lol I have no plans to cut out nicotine I happen to like it and have come to the conclusion nicotine itself isnt that bad. :vapor:. I started vaping for a healthier alternative to cigarettes. anyways I have yet to make a perfect match of the 2 vapes. some flavors are not affected as much as others and its not a "oh this is terrible now" difference but different. both are equally good. I haven't tried to hard to "clone" one to the other I just mix hers how she likes it and mine how I like it and thats that.
