No-nic VG only formula

[jhemps]

So I got my lorann oils and glycerine in yesterday and since I didn't get my nic PG yet, I decided to try mixing up a no-nic juice. I added 9ml of VG, 20 drops of Vodka, a few drops of water, and 6 drops of lorann teaberry oil. Vapes great (TONS of vapor), Smells good, but it leaves a lot to be desired in the taste department.

I was under the impression the VG made juices "sweet" tasting, but it pretty much tasted like air, with a hint of teaberry. I could see the vapor but it just didn't have the flavor of other juices i'm used to. Perhaps this is due to the lack of nicotine, or the lack of PG. Anybody tried this and had any success? If this is what all nic-free juice tastes like, I'll never be able to go to 0 nicotine.

J---I find the mixture should be 80 percent thinned out VG to 20 percent Lorann ---some times, depending on the flavor --even higher. So up the flavor and you should be good to go.

I'm by no means an expert on DIY juice, but yes, I have heard that VG tends to "rob" flavor, so you usually need to add more flavoring in a VG juice as opposed to the same recipe in a PG version.

You aren't using near enough flavoring. I make only non-nic juices which I use in my e-pipe and e-cigar. Based on your 9mL glycerin amount and I would have used 9 drops of distilled water and 36 drops of flavoring.....

I found out the same thing, VG robs flavors. I just did a recipe for a knock-off Johnson Creek Original flavor, but used the ECOpure 'Krystal" 36 nic for a base. But they do also have a "Mixer" no-nic formula of the same, it is an aqueous VG, and there's also Ethyl Maltol in it, and 3% "other" whatever that is. The best one I did so far. JC doesn't use real tobacco anymore, and their VG formula went away so can't use it anymore. VG is very hard to flavor compared to PG. There's a retailer link here >
