"salty" pre-liquified falvor additive?

[Jocelyn Silver]

Hi! I'm new so no hurtling things at me yelling about "search" (I'm not new to forums in general). I couldn't find what I was looking for and I gave up and came here.

I've been buying pre-mixed pg-vg with the nicotine already in at the desired dose (I'm afraid of messing around with straight nicotine and it seems a bother) and buying liquid flavor additives, some of which are very simple single flavors and some of which are really all you need to add to the juice for an entire recipe, but I'm saving money and having a lot of fun with my "Mine Only" juices and the jealousy they provoke =)

Right now, I'm working on a couple flavors that could use just a ittttty-bitty bit of saltiness to them, something you wouldn't notice but needs to be there; both are salty-sweet flavors but I assume a little salt goes a LONG way. I've seen some complicated recipes online but I'm a buy-it-use-it girl, so I was hoping someone had found a pre-liquified additive and perhaps even could offer some advice on how much is too much for an undertone?

The problem that I see is that salt is a flavor per se but its a basic sense of taste. Meaning you can't smell the flavor of salt like you would do chocolate or apple if that makes sense. How to add it? Perhaps a saturated mixture of salt and distilled water? Is it safe to inhale? No idea.

Hi Jocelyn, and welcome to ECF!

Can't really help on the salty question, but maybe start browsing down here:

bur a few more questions and/or replies and you're there!)

Some people like to add a little saline solution to their juices for a bit of saltiness - it's not unusual. I tried it for a while but I found it tends to gunk up coils a lot quicker.

Maybe some saline solution?

Yep! The .9 sterile saline solution you can buy at the pharmacy is what most people use. I made my own but I don't remember what measurements to salt and water I used. I'll try to look it up and edit it in.

1/2 teaspoon into a cup of water. Microwave it to dissolve the salt. I just put some in a 10 ml dropper bottle. I pull out of that if I need it.

Easy Peasy!

I don't know that it adds a saltiness to the liquid though. I've found it makes the vapor more moist. If that makes any sense. More of a mouth feel thing.

I read that. It was pretty informative.
