TFA popcorn is more of a real tasting popcorn . Capellas is almost like a popcorn jelly bean . Both good but completlry different . TFA is a bit more salty and you can taste the kernel texture .Good luck trying to recreate a Msts juice . I have failed many times .I dont think a rocket scientist with chemical background can duplicate her juices lol Her juices are just toooo complex to recreate perfectly . Other vendors i find it much easy . I can recreate almost all of vendors like TVR's juices . I know she uses multiple flavorings and sometimes some flavors in there that arnt related to the actual name of the juice .That makes it almost impossible . I think about half of the juices i dumped were trying to make a juice like mst's . I gave up after a while .

vaping msts juices are so damn good that it makes anything i DIY lack in comparison . She spoiled me lol

Not being a fan of pop corn, I started thinking about this more in the abstract:

What would the counter-arguments be to adding some salt water to your juices?

From a health perspective inhalations of salt vapour is something very old and reasonably safe (from "that fresh sea air" to salt mines being repurposed for various terapies), so that shouldn't be a problem.

When it comes to gear it might be different - salt is a bit corrosive. But if it would be bad enough to kill atties dead or ruin cartomizers in a very short time is unknowable until someone has tried it.

The biggest problem might actually be taste. How much salt would it take before one would perceive it? And how wide or narrow is the gap between "can taste it" and "this is irritating"?

But except for the question of gear longevity I can't think of a big reason not to experiment with dissolving NaCl in water and adding it to a juice.

Her juices were the reason I gave up on DIY before really even getting started. lol

If I were going to try this, I would opt for normal saline. You should be able to pick this up at the pharmacy. That is what is used in breathing treatments, so definitely safe for inhalation,

Dont use Saline . Theres no way in the world msT usues it her juices so you shouldnt either .You can find whatevers in msts juice with sticking to the approved flavorings . All these experiments are giving the FDa a justification to ban ecigs

These Vendors dont do anything special that we cant do . They just put more time into making recipes

Ehum, str8tv8ping, did you miss the part about normal saline being used for medical inhalation purposes?

But I suspect that a physiological saline solution probably wouldn't give a salty taste (especially not when combined with other ingredients), you would need something more concentrated than that. And the margin before it becomes irritating might be slim.

Don't worry! I won't turn my place into an alambic! I think the key is to experiment with different kind of popcorn and even different kind of butter. on my next mix, i will definitely go with a higher TPA percentage but I'm still sure that the capellas still need to be in there

Sophie_lapin recently posted somewhere that there was a butter flavor that was more of a 'salted butter' whereas Capella is sweet...I'll be darned if I can remember what brand though :(

I'll keep looking...

Found it!!

You're right, it is slim. :)

Have you tried it? If so tell us more!

(Or are you thinking about the difference in accidentally getting some water up your nose, and the difference between fresh water lake (irritating), Baltic Sea (not irritating), the Mediterranean (not irritating) and the Atlantic (sometimes irritating) - never been to the Dead Sea, but I imagine that would be fairly nasty.)

I have no idea the effects of inhaling saline, I know it is used for clearing out your nose (netti pot or nasal spray), rinsing contact lenses, and in i.v. fluids sometimes (depending on what you need the i.v. for). No idea what it does to the lungs, and not willing to find out.

I would be concerned about corrosion of the atty/carto. This may not have any effects on either, I have no idea. I do know that I have some vendor's juices that are salty to the point of making even my lips salty from the stuff on the drip tip. I do not care for salty vapes personally.

I would guess that sodium is an ingredient in the salty flavorings.

Off topic, I know :)

Sodium in water, or one way I used to amuse myself when I was a young pup. (Never got ahold of a chunk as big as these boys did though.)
Huge Chunk of Sodium in Pond - YouTube

I think our chemistry teacher demonstrated this (on a much smaller scale). And then he made the primary ingredient in our inofficial national candy, from hydrochloric acid and ammonia. And very tasty it was, too! (I'm pretty sure someone has made a juice with that, but I have no idea where I saw it or what they used. Or what it tasted like.)
