Unflavored from now on.

[rebar]

If you've never tried unflavored eliquid, give it a try and mix some up. I get my VG from Nude Nicotine. Yeah, its non eventful, but your coils last forever.

There is a learning curve mixing it up and I thin mine with distilled water. I finally engraved levels on a old glass 60ml dropper bottle and it takes me maybe 10 minutes instead of a half hour with a syringe which I only use for the distilled water.

If your tired of that burnt taste after 4 tanks, you will be happy you did.

I never have that problem and it could be due to the brand of flavors that I use. Even at 90% VG I get weeks out of my coils. Only time I fry a coil is if I let the tank go too low or fire at too high a wattage or wrong TC mode. Stil going to try some unflavored one of these days though.

Hi rebar.

I also vape Unflavored and HOF (Hint of Flavor). Here is something you can try that Might Surprise you.

Next time you Re-Coil/Wick one of your RTA's/Tanks, prime the Wick with a Regular Flavored e-Liquid. But then fill the Tank with Unflavored.

It is kinda Amazing how much Flavor you get, and how long it lasts, by just Priming the Wick with a Flavored e-Liquid. And you still get the Benefit of Longer Lasting coils.

A few years ago I got a shot glass at Bed Bath and Beyond that is marked in ml tsp tbs and oz. I have a jar that I measured 160ml of VG into and marked it with white tape and wrote 160ml. Then I put 20ml of 60mg nic in VG followed by 20ml of DW. Easy 200ml of 6mg 90/10

I bet your right with flavored juice on wick only and wouldn't be surprised that it can flavor a whole tank. I haven't tried that and don't use pre made coils, but what I have done in my km3 tank is filled her up, prime my wicks, and forgot to turn on juice flow. I have vaped, what it seems to be a quarter tank, before realizing the issue . So at least with my vaping style, you get quite a bit of juice just from a good saturated wick. Good idea and when I start diy with unflavored, will give that a try

I kinda found it by Accident when I started to move towards using Unflavored.

I was in this Transitional period where I was running some Subtank Mini's with Flavored. And some with 100% Unflavored. Then alternating between the two.

I had just Rebuilt the RBA on one of my Flavored Subtanks, and had Primed the wick with Flavored e-Liquid. Then I got distracted by a Phone Call. When I came back to my desk, I reached for what I thought was the Flavored Bottle, but inadvertently filled the Tank with Unflavored.

I was kinda Weirded Out because the Hits had more of a Refreshing Taste. Kinda like when you are Really Thirsty and you drink Water verses a Soda.

The burned taste is usually from the ridiculous amounts of sweeteners that a large portion of people/shops put in their juice. 1% or less of EM is more than enough to sweeten anything. EM is the only sweetener i like i have tried them all and most if not all others are just too bitter. When i decide to "treat" myself to a random flavor once or twice a year from a vape shop i always have to change my cotton and burn the coils clean after a couple days. With my home made juice i go 2 weeks without changing cotton and cleaning coils.. I go through about 15+ml a day to put it into perspective.

 

[rebar]

I was just reminded why I wrote this thread.
I felt like I was wasting the NLV Gold I bought a few months ago, so I filled one of my nautilus tanks with half NLV Gold, and half 18mg VG/DW. It was ok for three tanks.. Then the fourth.. BLAAAAA NASTY BURNT taste !

For the second time.. Unflavored from now on !!!
Unless someone has a flavoring suggestion that doesn't make me gag or my coworkers complain that I smell like douche.

I don't think flavor has to be all or nothing. I use just enough to cover the taste of the other ingredients. That would be 1% Capella Cuppucino flavoring for me. It's the same intent as unflavored but just a different unflavor than typical unflavored. How about unflavored Cuppucino?

I'm ok with the flavor of ..... nic VG. Kind of a sweet nothing which takes the edge off.

I like cuppucino, but whats in it? Is it all natural?

I'm on this detox kick right now because of some right upper quadrant RUQ pressure when I sit. My MRI showed some gallbladder sludge but normal function, but now I'm getting left upper quadrant pressure and have another doctor visit scheduled. Iv quit drinking and everything. Not to alarm anyone, but the RUQ pressure started close to the same time I started vaping.

 

[r77r7r]

Too many things can cause that to narrow it down to vaping... yet. If you have a hard time quitting drinking, AA works well for many. Gl

I'm guessing it was my drinking that's causing my pressure and after watching three close friends of mine drink themselves to death and divorcing my wife, it wasn't hard to quit.
AA was a joke for me. Most of those in my group relapsed, or were there just to get laid. My life sure has changed and vaping is my last vice. But since I still have pressure, not acute pain, I wonder if it is the vaping. Hopefully the doc can shed some light next year. My employer cut me and my kids off of my health insurance last year after I forgot to sign something costing me almost 10K. Maybe the pressure is stress.. lol

If it is your gallbladder, you can fix that up right quick by making and drinking fresh beet juice/soup, and making flaxseed tea (just put the flaxseeds into the cup and boiling water, you can mix with some other herbal fruity tea if needed for taste.

How do I know? I used to have gall bladder attacks. So I got the HIDA scan with contrast. At that time, my gallbladder was functioning less than 32%. They were saying it probably had to come out at some point.

Fast forward 2 years, with me being religious about my beets and flax seed fixin's.........just had a HIDA scan with contrast and gallbladder is showing 95% function! That is a huge difference.

And, haven't had anymore gallbladder pain or attacks during that time, either.

I know this works.

As for vaping.......I went really simple. No flavoring (maybe a drop of peppermint or spearmint or menthol in 30ml sometimes) and zero nic now. Basically vaping is just a pacifier for me now.

Thanks Racehorse. My GF calls my vape my binky.

My HIDA scan showed normal function but my MRI gallbladder sludge. Nothing was said about the sludge, like it was normal.

Iv been eating and juicing allot of beets and taking herbs thought to help liver function but will try the flax seed tea. Do you grind them first? I cut out all the sugar, and only eat real food. Fats don't bother me but stress does and seems to run in the family. Hopefully my new doctor can figure it out but its just annoying, not painful and more consistent but only when I sit. I also have done about 12 clark liver flush's and it does seem to be getting better, but so slowly its hard to pinpoint.

I tried zero nic but started to jones out.

I likewise get about 3 weeks of 20ml's a day before needing dryburn/rewicking which is amazing to me, but granted, how long you're getting from your flavored liquids are highly aroma-dependent and varies a lot based on which compounds used and sweeteners etc as already mentioned.

Personally, I feel like bigger diameter coils and also thicker gauges will help out also. More cotton, like a little tighter fit also. I currently just use simple basic dual 24 gauge ka1 and 3mm ID 6 wraps at 0.3'ish.

I use 95/5 VG/DW 3mg, whhich tastes nicely neutral, lightly sweet and fresh without ever getting old. PG to me doesn't taste neutral and adds ethanolish notes, so I avoid that completely in unflavored.

 

[Scott Ross]

I have been vaping unflavoured for nearly a year. It's great and cheap. In the uk a mixed 1 liter bottle of pg/vg costs me £7.99 instead of a premium bottle of twice as much! Coils last longer too!

 

[DaveP]

Coils last me a month or two. I eventually break a coil leg during wick replacement and recoil when that happens. I change wicks every two or three days to keep the flavor production up.

I keep large bottle of unflavored around and vape it when I get vaper's tongue and loss of flavor. That, an occasional glass of orange juice, and a swig of Biotine mouthwash here and they make the flavor better.
