Salt?

[Religion]

OK, this is for our professional chemists/physicists.
Is it possible to have any salty flavor in liquid nicotine solutions?
Is there a technical reason this cannot be accomplished?

Not a chemist, but having it in liquid isn't the issue. It has been dissolved and didn't react with nicotine according to the last person to experiment with it.

Here is someone that tried it.

Seems that person make a saturated solution of salt and added it to a juice, but used too much, and like with too much water, the vapor was killed. No follow up with a reasonable amount. Seems the jury is still out. I would do it this way in a VG juice. With 10% flavor use about 10% saturated salt solution. Seems harmless enough for a try. Yeah, if you vape it in one atty for a long time there might be corrosion (the main issue in that thread, along with someone's animosity towards sea salt), but who cares? If it tastes good just dedicate an atty...maybe it will die sooner...or use a carto. Not much in attys are really prone to corrosion, anyway. No issues with inhaling it...people are inhaling salt all the time near the ocean. I'd like to hear how it turns out. Might try it myself. Could be good to bring some flavors forward, like PA pie crust in a fruit pie recipe. Or a popcorn flavor.

Hmm, I'm a big salt fan. Something like Lay's Potato Chips would be ... interesting.

Thanks for getting us headed in the right direction

... eventually the salt will cake on the atty, so expect a premature atty failure.
