Relaxation Formula juice

[ozpkchris]

i picked some E-liq-w--- Relaxation Formula

it has "Tryptophan, Melatonin, and other essential amino acids for great relaxation affects".

10$ fo 5ml's pricey.

drop some in a cart took a puff and yuck taste nasty - i picked up the pina cola flav. not even close.
taste like a 'chemical' or almost like primer.
made my cart snap crackle and pop like it was gonna explode.

didn't make me more relaxed either.

definitely a fail in my book,

any one else try this ???

I know this post is old but hey, why not. I'm trying their Blueberry flavor right now on a standard resistance drip setup on my ego 3.7v clone. First taste, kinda like you blech... After about 10 drops it is growing on me. Tastes a little perfumey to me. If it was any stronger it would be overpoweringly nasty. I gave their MMJ flavor a good sniff and it smelt HORRID!! Probably shoulda sniffed the other 4 flavors too though. Might not have gotten blueberry. No problems on my atty, vapes pretty smooth.

Been puffing on this for about 10minutes now, I feel a nice mind change, but I'm not exactly sober right now either. Does seem to have a decent relaxing effect though. Never know though, could be a placebo effect.

A ridiculous idea, and rather worrying. Amino acids and hormones are not gong to vaporise. While a tiny amount might be carried out in the vapor, most will just settle out in the filler and ash on the heater coil. Ashing proteins in the presence of sugars is a bad idea (HCAs).

Just get yourself a bottle of good tryptophan. Good Kava Kava will have a similar effect. They both are supplements that have a mild muscle relaxant effect. I've got major pain issues, so i practically eat the stuff by the handful. Puritans Pride has good deal on both. But as a general rule, I'd say eat your vitamins and supplements, and vape your e-juice. The only thing I've seen that I might get added to juice is at VaporRenew in their DIY section. You can get your premade unflavored VG or PG with nic and throat hit already added, and they'll add one of a few supplements for a small fee. I might get B12, just cause B12 is near impossible to absorb if you take it orally, so vaporized is a good delivery method for it. As for the rest, just buy the pills. They'll be cheaper, and sounds like they'll taste better, too! lol

Passionflower extract works, either capsules or liquid. I have both.

I am soooo relaxed....

Orachei, MaxUT - I dont disagree about the supplements and vitamins, only that nearly all of these won't work well, if at all, in an e-cig, and will likely just clog it up.

However, the PF extract might well work (the exception), though one would need care re dose (a good maths brain). From the top of my head I think a typical extract wuld be used at ~1 drop / ml e-liquid (~5%). The PF is also the one most likely to have synergy with the nicotine.

Don't try this is have known health issues if any kind, on medications of any kind, are pregnant, ...

All the things that have been mentioned above are good for anxiety ('can't relax'); depression is something else (though the B vits are still a good choice). There are pgychological aspects and some overlaps - it's late and the topic complicated ... some of that is circumstance, not nrcessarily personal disposition.

Re the B12, remind me later ...

I hate trying to figure the PassionFlower thign out...Just boughtit, staring at it, wanting to use it, not finding anything on it, no one responding to thread, absolutely lame, sad face, dissapointment, broken heart, and I'm over it...

 

[kinabaloo]

ps: (re PF extract)

5% is one part PF in 20. 20 drops is ~1ml (the amount in a standard carto). So 1 drop in 1ml e-liquid would be about right.

This fits with the equivalent-alkaloid intake from ~1pack-a-day smoking, and also with the suggested intake on the extract (2-4 drops/day).

Feeling more relaxed is hard to be sure of because of the placebo effect. But you should notice less need to vape. Don't indulge because it feels good (that leads to reduced effect).

This is not a 'takes time' thing; if it is going to work you will notice the first day. If is doesn't reduce the need to vape excessively within a few days, it's not going to work for you.

The PF should give something of the effect of WTA.

 

[RialCeLmiT]

hmm well my problem is that im not sure I got the write stuff to begin with...It's running at 66-76 % PGA

 

[RialCeLmiT]

I got impatient said .... it and used 10 percent of the extract vaped about .3 or .4 of it so far, and now I feel ......ed and my attie isn't quite giving me the vapor it was before I attempted this...I think I found a new legal way to get high but that's all I discovered XD

 

[kinabaloo]

If add >5% water/alcohol (with flavorings too) it will adveresly affect the vapor. Luckily, 5% should be sufficient.

btw, the extract is a tincture, either mostly alcohol or alcohol and water.

ps: there is no 'high' to be had with PF; and such discussion is out pf place here anyway.

 

[RialCeLmiT]

And the whole 70% of the PF extract being organic grain alcohol isn't a problem?

LOL...not according to your avatar you aren't!!!

I've tried some of those "relaxing" vapes and I have one word to describe them...NASTY!

I like Nhaler's Lung Juices, especially his Green Tea... Don't know if it's relaxing, but it's a nice, clean vape. Especially with a drop or two of Vapor Station's Arizona (green tea with honey)...

Drew's list of ingredients:

•Elecampane Root and Flower
•Mulletein leaf
•Osha Root
•Yerba Mansa(whole Plant)
•Yerba Santa Leaf
•Dandelion Leaf
•Licorice root
•Lobieala Root
•A water Extraction Tincher of Cordyceps
•Reishi Mushroom Alcohol Extraction
•In a base of pure grain alcohol, distilled water and vegetable glycerine.

The active constituent in tea, theanine, is an amino acid and will not vaporise. One would get the flavanols but that is all.

Probably harmless; probably pointless.

I have a good reason to suggest PF as useful, and it is vaprorisable.

But while those herbs mentioned might be good for certain purposes, I don't see a point in the amalgamation; that any one is simply 'good for you' without a purpose in mind.

I recommend people eat more vegetables (some raw but look up what's best in each case) - and in variety. The same cannot be said for medicinal herbs (with a dew exceptions, none in that list) because we are no longer in the realm of nutrition, but 'medicine', so even as a tea-like infusion it would get a 'no' from me.

 

[Katya]

As I said, I like the juice. I like the flavor (green tea) and I like how the vapor feels in my lungs. I never thought that the amounts of those herbal extracts are large enough to have any effect, one way or the other. I like clean juices. I even like unflavored.

What I can't vape are those dark, gooey, sweet, dessert and bakery flavors, full of colorings and flavorings and sweeteners, and flavors containing essential oils (like cinnamon or orange).

Well, if it's not re-lax, it might be...

................... Ex-lax.

An 'oil' is simply an organic liquid that does not mix with water (is non-polar)*. Its consistency is not necessarily thick and 'oily'. For example, limonene (a terpene like most 'essential oils' (plant fragrances)), the primary constituent of orange oil, has a BP of 176C (lower than nicotine) so is vaparisable. However both it and its easily formed oxide are skin irritants; it is such a good solvent that not only can it strip paint and dissolve polystyrene but also skin cells. I'd be wary of this particular oil, but not necessarily of all such oils. It partly depends on the dose - a very strong aroma can be used in lower amounts.

* may be miscible when alcohol is present.
