Tea time!

[MisterMike]

So, I decided to try this tonight:

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/diy-e-liquid/250782-vaping-tea.html

Only difference was I used a bag of Earl Grey, and got slightly more than 30ml out of it. (Probably put in slightly more than 30ml of PG into the pan, too.)

Y'know what? I'm impressed. I'm using it in a V510 on my eGo battery right now, and it's quite tasty. I don't get the caffeine buzz the gentleman mentioned, but all in all, it's a nice flavour. Not as strong as if I were drinking it, and not much of the bergamot comes through. It's mostly the black tea I taste. It almost seems sweetened, too, for some reason.

Anyway, it's quick, cheap, and there are hundreds of options out there to try.

So I suppose you could say tea vaping puts the PG in PG Tips, eh? Eh?

(crickets)

Well I thought it was funny.

You know how much I'm opposed to diy, right? Now I'm tempted. Thanks, ya rotten vape-face!

Interesting idea. Are you using nic base or just PG?

What is PG Tips? I am sure this is funny if I knew what that is

It's a brand of tea.

Just PG for now... I haven't sprung for any nic base yet. I'm looking for a low-to-no nic alternative for later at night, so I'm not so keyed up when I go to bed.

If I were to use nic with this, I'd probably have doubled up the teabags for more flavour and just added the nic separately.

I love this idea!! I have a huge supply of herbal teas too. The only problem is the pg, I'm sensitive to a high concentration. Can it be done with vg and if anyone tries it.....lemme know!

I might give this a shot in a day or two. I'll keep you posted.

That would be great Mister Mike!
I have a gorgeous market spice loose leaf tea that would be amazing in a vape.

@mistermike: Yes it seems I too am cursing you as I was so not into DIY'ing and now I am reconsidering that because my head is swimming with ideas to use with the information in that thread!

@smile n' shine: It appears others have used VG according to the thread ". I used vg/distilled water 80/20 to steep it in. It's really good. "

dang it... I so didn't want to try DIY'ing!

 

[Squish]

Oh the possibilities! (rubs palms together in glee)

 

[IT_guy]

Thanks, ya rotten vape-face!

LOL! Maybe its my low maturity level but I found that hilarious!

After trying some Dekang Green Tea I've been turned off tea vapes but if everyone's tea DIY works out I may have to give it a try. I did read a thread where they talked about doing the same thing with coffee grounds too.

I am right there with ya IT dude SOO made me laugh and yeah it was the coffee that got me super excited

That's probably stronger than what I made by several-fold, and a lot easier to mix in to a recipe. I just whipped up what I made to see what would happen.

Thanks, all the same, though. Have you tried any DIY yet yourself, or are you still gathering supplies?

I have some Folgers Coffee Singles. A single serving coffee in a tea bag, basically.

I only have the de-caf but it just screams to be tried! I don't have the time to fiddle with it right now but if anyone else does, let me know how it works out.
