i got some 24mg juice that i dont like the flavors , do you think i can put about 10ml of vg to cut it down to about 15-18 and put some flavors ????

yes, and a few drops of distilled water will thin that vg a little, if you don't have PGA. It will help mute those flavors before doctoring it up.

No, I'm afriad it doesn't.



I've also reviewed Throat Hit Plus and Diablo Loco. I've even made a pepper juice by soaking ground black pepper in PG for a couple of days. Didn't work either.

I've yet to find anything that mimics the throat hit of nicotine. There are a few that come close -- cinnamon adds a certain, though sharper throat hit, and oddly, Toasted Marshmallow flavouring from FlavourArt also adds some kick. But not much at 0-nicotine in either case, they only seem to work when there's some nic present.

My friend swears he gets crazy throat hit off of his 0nic joose he makes when he uses his bloog

Ask him what he means by "throat hit" though. It seems many people conflate the sort of throat hit you get from nicotine with any sensation in the throat, like the cooling of menthol or spiciness of cinnamon, which are not properly throat hit.

ho i will stay with nic , its kinda hard to stop , i cant vape when theyre is no TH .... do you guys know where to buy PG ? does walmart sell it ?

Walmart sells it at the pharmacy sometimes. It's a bit more regulated. (in the States) You may be bold enough to educate them on PVs and risk a pharmacist not wanting to take a risk. Or you can tell them it's for making lotions....candles.....or my personal favorite......not quite a lie.....AROMATHERAPY! Other than that a lot of specialty juice vendors sell it

As far as throat hit goes.....we all had to adjust to vaping not being the same as smoking. I'm just afraid we may be talking those wishing to eliminate nic out of finding a suitable replacement. It's not the same thing....it's true. But just as vaping can't compare to smoking, it may be just about finding something that allows for a feeling of something being inhaled. It has to start with a desire to make it work either way. It's sort of like my stubborn friends who tell me nothing can replace smoking because only smoking feels like smoking.

I've noticed a drop or two of cider vinegar can give a "throat sensation". And clear my sinuses. I don't highly recommend it because there is virtually no line between not enough and "holy crap I'm vaping vinegar." But there it is now on the list of poor substitutes. :p

Well......very little does not. But one drop too much and you know it's there! Like a drop or two per 10 ml. If it doesn't make you notice it....I wouldn't recommend a third unless you have a very small eye dropper capable of very small drops.

and if you are nervous to try it and don't want to experiment with what you have on hand....don't.

I found a thread somewhere when I was searching for the possibility of using vinegar to clean cartos with.....I'll see if I can find it again.
