I would try dissolving it in distilled water first. Then you can add the Salt Water a drop at a time to your juice. Like I said before, it isn't going to take much to make a juice taste salty. Pizza is Great but I agree, it isn't something I do everyday.

Here's another one. Put two drops of PA's Watermelon into Miller Lite / Budwiser or the next time you make Margaritas (SP?)

I would have very serious reservations about using salt in juice. I know what it does to cars and rebar ... and most things metal, which would include atomizers. And, for what it's worth, sea salt is salt. Sodium Chloride with trace impurities, every bit as corrosive as the pure stuff. In all probability, the beneficial iodine omitted from sea salt is more substantial than the trace minerals replaced in sea salt. Sea salt is a mythical beast, bah humbug.

Some how watermelon and beer doesn't sound right. Something about eating watermelon and drinking beer never worked for me. I'll take your word for it and give it a try when I get those flavors to work with.
I'm willing to try flavors that are unusual just to see how they are. Right now I'm trying Blue Cheese and surprisingly it is pretty good. Not an all day vape though.

Oxidation is a funtion of time. For the incredibly small amount of salt we are talking about here, and for the time period we are dealing with, I don't forsee an atomizer failing apart overnight.

But it could. And if it does, well that is what you get for asking advise on a forum.

The purpose of using Sea Salt is the lack of Iodine and Declumping agents found in most table salt.

So, the trace elements which are the selling point of sea salt are somehow less harmful than the trace amounts of iodine, and whatever anti-clumping agents you attest to? If you say so. All of the aforementioned pollutants of pure sodium chloride can be described as trace amounts. Akin to insisting on distilled water in mixing. I say, common drinking water is pure enough, and common table salt is damn near pure sodium chloride for most practical purposes. I still would have serious reservations about using in my juice ... except, except ... hell, I use LR atomizers on eGo-type batteries knowing the danger of premature battery failure. You only go around once, do what makes ya happy, yeee Hawww! :)


EDIT: the entire sea salt thing just irks me.

Sounds good to me. So we'll go with Table Salt and Tap Water instead of Sea Salt and Distilled Water.

BTW - Do you think the Stainless Steel parts of an atty are going to corrode from salt exposure faster than the coil wire burning out from normal use?

You didn't have to tell us that last part, we figured that out by the rest of your statements. I didn't mean to get anybody upset and didn't want a chemistry class. I just wanted to know if anyone had tried to use salt for flavor. Thanks for all of the extras!!!!!

Naw, it's just the lastest advertising whiz bang, brand new & improved buzz word. Sea salt is salt, not harmful.
It does tick me off when I see people have bought into the hype. But, no more than it bothers me when
people I know swear they're addicted to Mountain Dew due to its caffeine content, in spite of the fact that
coffee contains much more per serving. Do you know anyone who proudly proclaims to be a Mountain Dew addict? I know several.

I see where 'they' now sell containers of sea salt in the grocery store ... and charge something like 10X by weight as is charged
for iodized table salf, Wow, what a deal, huh? No thanks.

I would try the soy sauce flavoring myself.

I kill enough attys as it is without putting a suspended solid into my atty and boiling off the suspension liquid.

Won't even get into what reaction takes place when combining heating & cooling cycles on a chrome alloy in a moist enviroment with salt, but I don't want to deal with that either.

While I wouldn't do it, I would encourage you to try it, but ONLY if you report the results! (Because I may have the whole thing wrong and I'm too stuck in my mindset to try it myself.)
