tasteless nic juice, umm?

[Flitzanu]

ok so, maybe i'm overlooking the obvious here...but i get the point of the tasteless/flavorless nicotine juice (say, the 36mg that is being used to make recipes) but...i've noticed that sellers have 0mg flavorless juice available as well.......

umm....isn't 0mg flavorless juice just...PG and maybe some alchol or water?

and yes, this seems obvious, but i'm trying to figure out if i'm totally off or missing something here, and if so, why pay that same price for fluid with no nicotine when one can buy PG or VG cheaper.

I asked much the same question a couple of weeks ago - I really can't understand why anyone would pay for 0 mg liquid. There were actually serious responses to my post, but I'm still scratching my head.

Edit: That goes for any kind/flavor of 0 mg liquid! Your own flavor is just too easy to find to justify paying the commericial liquid price.

Here's a simple answer that I hope will help. It is meant to be funny but serious at the same time.

Not everybody is a chemist or a mathemagician. I'm terrible when it comes to mixing things and this way is just more convienent (sp?) for me

Yvilla--you as a
legitimate question. If anyone is trying to quit smoking from using very low nicotine cigarettes, like Cartlon, they should be using zero nicotine e-liquid. Carlton ( I just use as an example) only has .1mg of nicotine per cigarette. According to the FDA, a person has to consume at least 5 mg a day of nicotine to become addicted to it. That would be the equivalent of 50 cigarettes a day or 2 and one half packs a day just to meet the minimum threshold to become addictive. These people would surely not want to try to switch to e-cigs and start vaping nicotine that they are not addicted to in the first place. That is why the theory holds true that there must be something else in cigarettes that is just as addictive as nicotine. So if someone does not know how to make their own zero nicotine e-liquid, they would what that option. On another note, people that are trying to ween off nicotine, but still can not kick the psychological aspect of smoking would seek zero nicotine as an option.--Hope

Someone else sources "safe" pg and vg for you, mixes it with the appropriate thinners (alcohol, distilled water), balances the ph if necessary and packages it up in a convenient dropper.

I dunno, some people actually pay to have their oil changed too.

5mg nicotine equals about 5 cigarettes--an ordinary strength cigarette contains about 1mg. Say 6 or 7 since you won't absorb all the nic when you're smoking a cigarette.

Zero nic liquid makes sense if it's tobacco flavoured. I wouldn't pay for anything else, but I'd like a cheap source of PG.

Yep.. like this guy, and for the same reasons too!
