Nothing is made for vaping as far as e-liquid goes.
Everything used in e-juice was meant to be digested through the stomach , not vaped into the lungs.

Yes, you're probably right there. I do believe the flavorings being produced now are being made particularly for DIY juice makers. And I might be wrong, but I believe the OP is using stock coils, not a builder so a little more pricy when something added gunks up the works.

I don't disagree with you though. If it works for you, go for it.

As others have pointed out, diluting or adding another flavor is definitely your best bet. I'm just wondering what would happen, though, if one ran an e-juice on a centrifuge for five or ten minutes. Would the components separate out to the point you could siphon off the unwanted component? Just thinking out loud.

hey again, so I had this idea this morning. if i wasnt such a cheap skate i'd throw this 100ml bottle out and go back to 60/40 with a tobacco based flavour. but no, im stubborn and sticking to my tropical flavoured 90/10 juice that i just bought last week.

i wonder if there's a way to strip the flavour from this juice. maybe even in the process, diluting the thickness of the 90vg?

i thought about boiling the juice. but i have no idea what that would do, so i wanted to ask here.

i have come to the conclusion that the irritation in my throat is no longer or maybe was never because of the vg itself, but the flavouring in this juice, because i dislike it so much, my body might be reacting to that dislike.

thanks for any help.

ps: i dont mind if i reduce the nicotine level in the juice by going through any process. its currently 6mg and i was going to switch down to 3mg my next purchase anyway.

go ahead and dilute it.

make a base of vg+10% water and try mixing half and half with your liquid and try that out.
if you find it still too strong, try a 10 to 1 ratio instead; that's mostly what I use; 10 to 1.


When I first started out, over a few months I figured out that a lot of the liquids being sold to me in starter kits were menthols! Even the disposables I had been using turned out to be menthols and i had to learn to figure out where to check on the packaging to find it because it weren't too obvious.

It should not. Flavors should be miscible with PG/VG, so they will not separate. Not miscible flavors may separate.
