That's good to know!
I tried 2 different organic rose ottos and both (very sadly) tasted like soap when vaped (though they taste lovely in other applications).
what brand of rose water do you use? is it culinary? (I ask because some are rose otto added to water, some are really distillation byproducts and some have other things in them when not intended for consumption)

Ingredients should be :
Distilled rose petals.Nothing else.

Nothing artificial here ,so this way , you know what you put in your body.
Regarding amounts, That depends on the water and your taste.
I used 20% rose
and half and half glycerin and pg (80%)
sometimes I will use 36mg of vanilla nic. (20%)

I will try to find also distilled Jasmin , should be the same Joy :)

This actually sounds delightful. I had been planning to use rosewater to make some rose wine before my friend sold his store. Much better than trying to extract your own rose petals. He had some blackberry syrup that made the most wonderful wine ever, of course I had to take the sugar into account. Rosewater doesn't have any sugar. I wouldn't have known if it was concentrated enough though. Thanks for the report!

I use vg juice,could i just add a few drops to that?If vg does not work,where do I buy the glycerin?sorry to be so much trouble.thanks again
You can by VG at Michael's craft store or Walmart...4oz. for $2

PG can be bought at a tractor/feed store cheap ($20 a gallon), or Walgreens/CVS can order it for you.

JamesBond can you check the label for the list of ingredients. I was looking up rose extracts a couple days ago, posted over at RTV for help, and every rose extract that I located that showed the ingredients referenced "rose oil". What does your actual bottle say? (The link doesn't list the exact ingredients)

Thanks for the assist.
Don't look for Rose extract, look for Rose Water. ingredients should be only:"Distilled rose water"

You need to use dark red and purple blooms with intense perfume.

Rose oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has been suggested that small quantities of oil shouldn't be considered a problem. After all, atomizers are going to die eventually anyway and we are trying to figure out how to clean them better.

For example, 1 drop of clove oil in 10 ml. of e-liquid is a preferred solution. What else are you going to use?
